Have traps had the damage nerf that everything else has received? Even with it I think there needs to be tighter control of trap damage in low level areas.

I might be wrong but I think Darkgod said they weren't nerfed and it was intentional.
I do agree low level traps are simply ridicolous btw, although mid/high level traps can stay as they are.

Yeah, later on they're not a problem, especially as one acquires means of detection and avoidance. The damage is easily absorbed, and it's more the status traps that become a problem.

To be honest I think it would be nice to see damage traps removed entirely and only status traps left in the game. I don't think damage traps add any real fun to the game.
