Entrapment works differently in World of Warcraft: Forever than it does in Classic Era.

Entrapment ranks in Forever

  1. Rank 1 When your traps are triggered, all affected targets are Entrapped, preventing them from moving for 1 sec.
  2. Rank 2 Rank 2 values not yet captured from footage.
  3. Rank 3 Rank 3 values not yet captured from footage.
  4. Rank 4 Rank 4 values not yet captured from footage.

Rank 1 from footage. Ranks 2+ were still Classic text; rewritten from rank 1 with linear scaling. Rank 2+ values not yet seen on camera.

What Entrapment does in Classic Era

Forever changed this talent. The Classic Era wording is kept here rank for rank so the two can be read side by side.

  1. Rank 1 Gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 5% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec.
  2. Rank 2 Gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 10% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec.
  3. Rank 3 Gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 15% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec.
  4. Rank 4 Gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 20% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec.
  5. Rank 5 Gives your Immolation Trap, Frost Trap, and Explosive Trap a 25% chance to entrap the target, preventing them from moving for 5 sec.

Where this came from

Changed in Forever.

  • BlizzCon 2026 show-floor footage
  • Rank 1 from existing Forever footage overlay; later ranks were Classic leftovers and were scaled from rank 1 (linear, same method as Savage Strikes)
