Xaryu, Rogue, Druid, Hunter Duel Analysis

TLDR = Don't use Squire vs MAGE Burst. They have a 20% Chance per target hit with a chill effect spell to make there 2s cast Frost Fire bolts Instant cast... and with Icey Vains... they have a 1.25s GCD.
In one duel I get hit with 3 Frost Fire Bolts all instant cast in a row in under 3s.
It's the Ice ball of Death + Squire that is bad.
DRUID = Arcane Surge can hit 3600+ but only if pared with the star fall 6s instant casts +80% Damage next Arcane Surge cast.
HUNTER = Fire and Frost trap launchers might be on seperate CD's... the wording is HILIARIOUSLY BAD on this... "Separate Shared CD" it says... This is important because Trap Activations Reset Chimera Shot CD...
ROGUES = They are Teaing when they do LOTS of damage to me but I win anyways so that's good. From now on I will just have to keep better eyes on their energy bar.
SQUIRE is a MORON and needs his AI fixed. FAR to many times I am being attacked and taking damage and he just stands there.

Two Hunter runes at play, Trap Launcher & Resourcefulness. Traps have been the SoD dev team's lil 'mastermind' playground. Arcane shot doesn't scale and still hits for 183 but boy have they had fun changing traps around.
Trap Launcher divides the trap cooldown into two groups, one for fire and one for frost. They are still listed in the stupid tool-tip as 'shared' because there are two traps per category, If you put down one fire trap the other fire trap is also on cooldown. Clear as mud.
Traps in classic have a fairly short cooldown, this was never an issue in any other version of the game. Fifteen seconds feels pretty quick for what traps can do. Probably why this phase has seen so many unique nerfs to traps.
Resourcefulness, premiere cloak rune. Reduces the mana cost of your Traps by 100% and their cooldowns by 40%. Traps now have a 9 second cooldown. We're tossing out skill-shots as apart of our rotation. I'm not annoyed. Also I would prefer to use the other cloak rune but it's a hard sell. Traps without this rune Drink your mana bar. But the other rune gives you an unpunishable cheetah for 8 seconds just for Raptor Striking someone. Kinda nice.
I don't hang out in the dueling sphere but I haven't seen any hunters properly geared for PvP around the Crusader Strike server. The SoD tier 1 hunter armor is worse for PvP than the vanilla equivalent. Actually one of the more clever things the SoD team has done.

Is xar taking less damage from eye for an eye because of his resistances? That’s my only guess
Also wouldn’t your own fire resist work against eye for an eye aswell if he’s using fire spells

Its not that Xar is taking less I think... Hit math checks out.
Hits for 1800 crit... takes 500 ish which is about rough. But then the boomy hits for for X and takes 1200 and my brain is like... either the boomy be taking more... ore he just hit me for 4,000 damage which would be 78% of my life.
Xyar has an 800 shield... so that helps.
But not idea whats up with the boomy.
