[Hunter] Use traps before you train them!

[Smokey_Bandit]

At level 63 I am able to make a simple macro, "/cast snake trap" and put it onto a bar. This spell doesn't work on its own until you cast [Trap Launcher].

[Trap Launcher] is trained at level 48.
[Snake Trap] is trained at level 66.

I add a [Snake Trap] macro onto my action bars. (Typing /cast snake trap in chat also works, but who wants to do that every time?)

[Trap Launcher] is activated. Notice how the macro is no longer grayed out.

[Snake Trap] reticle.

And there it is.

A friend helped me confirm it on his 60 Hunter.

Any 48 - 65 Hunters looking for some extra fun in BGs? Try it out.

Edit: The title is misleading. It took some research on the level [Trap Launcher] is trained to realize that [Snake Trap] is probably the only thing that you will get earlier than its required level.

+ rep nice find thanks. also do you think it may be able to work with more spells?

[Eldarius]

+rep. Confirmed on a lvl 48 hunter

This works because of the way [Trap Launcher] works with traps. If there are any spells that work in a similar fashion for any other class it is definitely worth investigating.

Very nice find... lol +rep

A most interesting find, odd how that mechanic works, would be interesting to look at other classes with similar mechanics, although I cannot think of any on top of my head.

Some people think that if they score points with Blizzard they may get a pat on the head.
