- "No surprises here."[1]
Detect Traps allows a rogue to find traps laid out by others. It is learned at level 42.
When paired with 
[Disarm Trap], a rogue becomes essential for the safekeeping of any band of dungeon explorers.
Tips and tricks
- Of particular use in Stratholme to identify legitimate supply crates.
- Allows you to see hunter traps in PvP.
Controversy
Many rogues expressed great displeasure over the change of Detect Traps to a passive ability in Patch 1.11, claiming that they enjoyed spamming the "Swirly Ball" (a reference to the old casting animation).
Other rogues also claim not being able to see a hunter's traps, nor being able to disarm them, until it is too late and the rogue is caught in one of them.
With the addition of 
[Glyph of Detection] in patch 5.0.4, "Swirly Ball" has been brought back.
Trivia
- Detect Traps is a Rare Rogue ability card in the World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game's Drums of War set.
