    No it doesn't.

    You should stop pulling with gnomes... just pull regularly.

    Stop trying to trick people who are just trying to better their gameplay.

    Bring a rogue, and give him like 100 smoke flares. Tell him to toss the smoke flares on the traps. Tossing smoke flares doesn't break stealth, and will let the entire raid know where they shouldn't be within 10 yards of. The trash won't trigger the traps, only players/pets/friendly npcs. Without a rogue, you could do a normal pull, tank everything just inside the archway right before the trash, and if a skeleton comes, just back down the stairs and the trash will reset. Then you can pull the skeleton by himself and no one has to die.

    OR

    Tell the rogue to throw 100 smoke flares on the ground and then pull the spider

    The spider won't know what the fuck is going on and will run in circles yelling "WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP" like this

    Unless you have alot of friends/family on your current server, I'd suggest you transfer to an oceanic realm. They are baisclly the complete opposite of State side servers. Its 5:30 pm here and most raids woulndt start for another 30 mins to 1 1/2 hours or so. Also like someone said, make sure your ghoul isnt on the mob when you pull it, it will set off the trap. We sometimes get an extra big guy, and have once had 2, that resulted in half the raid wipe, Just run back to where all the npc's are and they reset.

    Haste does make you run faster if you stack enough of it. I suggest asking your fellow raid members to supply the following buffs

    Potion of Speed
    http://www.wowhead.com/item=40211
    +500 to speed

    Wrath of Air Totem (shaman)
    http://www.wowhead.com/spell=3738
    5% speed

    Heroism / Bloodlust (shaman)
    http://www.wowhead.com/spell=32182
    30% speed

    Crusader Aura (paladin)
    http://www.wowhead.com/spell=32223
    20% speed

    If you stack all of these buffs and pop Bloodlust / Heroism on the spiders you should find that you will be able to run faster than any mob in ICC. If you find that the spiders are still a problem then the only thing I can suggest is to spam

    Path of Frost
    http://www.wowhead.com/spell=3714

    This will allow you to jump on the ice and ride it like Iceman from Xmen.

    Good Luck

    QFT!

    All three times the ghoul was not on the mob. I tried dark command twice and death grip one other time. All three times the trap tripped. I believe all of you if you are saying that a mob cannot trip the trap. I just don't have any other explanation for it.

    On a side note. Switching to an oceanic server is a wonderful idea. Thank you, I should have thought of that myself.

    Please please please PLEASE don't listen to the people who are pulling your leg. If you have a rogue, they can see the traps while stealthed, and as long as the trap isn't behind the spiders they can disarm it. And no, haste buffs do not increase movement speed. The only things that will increase YOUR movement speed are Potion of Swiftness, Unholy Presence, Aspect of the Pack, Body and Soul, and Nitroboots.

    If you watch the raid for debuffs you can see who triggers the trap. The person who triggers it will gain a debuff that decreases their movement speed by 70% for like 8 seconds. Just like all of us have said, a mob cannot trip the trap. I will mention however, if you get the friendly adds for whatever reason, I have seen THEM pull the wards, so keep that in mind.

    One last note, switching to an oceanic server, while a good idea, could give you some pretty nasty ping, so keep yourself aware of that. You may find it beneficial to search around on the WoW forums to see if there are any servers with AM raiding guilds outside of oceanics.

    I don't usually like it when people get flamed for asking perfectly legitimate questions but in this case I make an exception - a) Rep runs : and b) RTFTT (Read the f*****g tool tip)

    This tactic.. must be the most ass backwards tactic I've ever heard. How about you tell your raid wait outside the room, go blast one of the mobs in the face with whatever ranged skill DKs have, then run around the corner to LoS, wait for the mobs to march out of the room to you, and then nuke them?
