Talk:Healing Spring

Why is Healing Spring categorized as a "trap"?? It does not trigger to begin with and certainly doesn't "hurt" anyone. --Karlos 15:24, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * It might trigger off allies (which means yourself, since you're standing in it) and it is interruptable like all traps. --Fyren 16:36, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * It's definitely not a trap, because it is not a damaging skill. Other than being easily interrupted, it shares no commonalities with the normal ranger trap subset.  Are we to assume other easily interrupted skills are traps too?  What about an Elementalist's wards, they are area effect too. Suggest removing this skill from the traps category, any objections?

 * Karlos was arguing about why it's a trap, I assumed. The reason it's in the trap category is because it is a trap.   The second similarity is that it might trigger off a teammate being in it.  But, this is not testable since you're necessarily standing in it when you place it.  This is not the same as area of effect.  --Fyren 07:01, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * Fyren, I think you are wrong here. The skill description says, For 10 seconds allies are healed every two seconds. No talk about triggers and it does not say it IS a trap. Why do you say it IS? --Karlos 08:00, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * It's a trap because the game says it's a trap. --Fyren 08:01, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * I thought the game description starts with "Trap." --Rezyk 08:08, 28 October 2005 (EST)


 * Ok, really I do know area of effect spells aren't traps (I'm not a noob :-P) Perhaps i'm misunderstanding your reasoning for classifying it as a trap, which is why I drew that example ... there is no "trap" category (only Wilderness Survival) ... could you please clarify? Just because it is easily interruptable and also in WS doesn't necessarily make it a trap ... I swear i'm not trying to be nasty, just trying to understand :-)


 * There is a trap category in game and HS is part of it. Either look at the HS game description (which is prefaced by the skill type) or sort your skill list by type.  --Fyren 12:10, 28 October 2005 (EST)
