All the "anti-trigger" people are angry and afraid, because they think they're going to get their asses kicked by those that use triggers extensively.

But as Challen said, nobody who's any good ever used that many triggers. It is simply too hard to write any trigger scheme that is better than fighting "manually".

One fight between Athrakagar and the then warmaster (I can't remember his name) comes to mind. The warmaster had a trigger for attacking Athrakagar whenever he saw him, but Athrakagar was a polearm spec so after fleeing and coming back a couple of times, Challen saw the trigger and charge setted the warmaster to death easily.

And that's how it will always go.
