Snake trap on madness - How is it done?

[Aired]

I managed to pop it once on bloods, nothing else.
anytips / a list of things that can pop it.

Nothing else will trigger traps so nope, no list needed.

Why would you want to use Snake trap? Waste a gcd on something bad

To trigger spellweave most likely, dont know if pets do trigger it.

there has been some theories surrounding the use of snake trap on that fight, to force proc spellweave (for increased dps) but so far I've not seen any substantial evidence for this.. I've tried doing nothing but snaketrap for the add waves, and gotten 0 procs durring that time (the one time I just simply stopped dpsing to check it)

what leads me to believe that it does work is the fact that I've seen logs with 300+ spellweave procs in a 12min fight, thats around a proc every 2.4sec oposed to others having between 100 and 150.

I've yet to see any pet having Spellweave damage attributed to them on WoL. No real pets, mirror images, ghouls, anything...

I can assure you that Snake Trap does proc Spellweaving.

It almost looks like triggering the Snake Trap itself determines whether Spellweaving will be active, and not so much the consecutive snakes' attacks. I used it 3 times last night, and during the first two I got 1 and 4 Spellweaves. During the 3rd I got 46.

Edit: Over the entire fight I had only 74 Spellweaves...

Not a waste, procs spellweave, and easy to do on the transition back to the claw.

wouldnt explosive trap be better?

You can do both, or all three if you wanna place a ice trap also.

As a MM hunter on our last attempt Spellweave was my 2nd highest source of damage.

I seems to notice snake traps no longer proc spellweaves. I wonder if special circumstances are needed to trigger it or it got stealth nerfed. Tested on a 10man normal kill.

Gonna go into LFR to test again.

P.S: It was triggering spellweave for me before this kill today.

Its the buff you get from Kalecgos during madness.You have a chance to inflict extra damage when using damaging abilties, not really sure how it works though.

Taken strait from dungeon journal: "The presence of Kalecgos Allows attacks and abilites to cause spellweaving. Spellweaving inflicts X Arcane damage to enemies within 6 yards, Excluding the current target." with X being 23k in normal mode and 20k in heroic
