This is just a remake of my old build (it used to have Flame Trap instead of Arcane Echo).
Duration: You can clear the southern part of the Labyrinth (the starting room) and the Ice Wastes in approximately 40 minutes.
20 minutes for the Bladed Aatxes and Grasping Darknesses and 20+ minutes for the Smite Crawlers (depends on the spawn).
Send a private message for in-game demonstration (if I have time).

Ranger of the abyss
hi, i put a post on here a while back might of been a month back with this build on it, i purposely took it off cos i didnt want the build getting nerfed. and ingame my names Batman Spen, PM me and ill show you an easier way my build was slightly different and included some NF skills, this however took out the WD + SQ but it works just fine, i manage 10 dusts before i pull doing around 1250 damage when i pull.
iv done pretty much all of UW with it like the trapper run. and also trying it in DoA against the stygian thats a bit harder tho as the pulls are bigger.

Sry, Eva, but ur build definitely CAN handle Coldfires. 
Not all, but most of em. I killed em after run, just for fun 
Tnx for the great guide.

I'll try it - I reckon it works. damn it - I just bought full elite sunspear therefore I don't have druids!

One thing I see with this build, though. Why use both QZ and SQ? Skill recharge reduction is capped at 50%, so SQ doesn't do anything to speed it up.
Captain Arne Is PRO
Sq + Qz - Ew = >50%
Beautifully formatted Eva, maybe I'll try this again. I tried it a few weeks ago, killed the Aatxe, and died on a group of Smites that wandered into my whilst trapping. :{

oooo, right, forgot about EW. well, it still is at 50% not above it.

This and Witte's Ranger solo FOW build has inspired me to make a new ranger

Tried the build for a week or so now, and its excellent. Duo/triple trapping maybe a little bit more fun, but hey.
The most difficult part in the whole run for me are the grasping darknesses, i often end up dead right before the traps have killed them all, but ill have to confess i never switched armor pieces/runes/weapons in my runs.
Still made quite a fortune with this build.. cheers

Very nice, and very easy. The only thing that causes me to die is when one enemy rushes my spirit too soon...thats only because I'm such a noob at luring.
Very tasty build and awesome guide on using it.

Hi and thanks for this awsome build.
I don't see I the videos when you change your armor... Do you do it or not ? Is it really needed ?

One of my guildies uses this build, he loves it. He's able to kill everything in the Underworld except for Behemoths, I'm told. It took him a little while to learn how to lure the casters, but he ended up getting it down.
First ten attempts at the build, the only thing I heard on guild chat was:
'God %%#&** Mother %%&*@ piece of %Y%*('
Now I'm hearing:
'another ecto rofl ^^'
Great build.

Former Ruling
For the build proposes "Trapper's Speed" can replace "Serpent's Quickness" with no change to the build or order of skills - and has the added bonus of quicker trap cast times (which effectively means nothing since its the recharges that your restricter here..but meh).
Kruyech's Family
Can someone answer me please ? It's quite important to me 
Metalmaster
With proper luring it doesn't really needed.

Thanks you very much !

No problem dude , just apply radiant insignas to your armor and it will be the same as Druids Armor.

Ok so I did a run and I have a question. There are 2-3 groups I can never reach to trap without killing colds (which I can't yet do)...and I was wondering if you guys could perhaps tell me if there is a way.
After clearing the first group, and the second, there are the coldfires patrolling around that small ledge (to your right as you face it from the way you came from). Run left, up the hill, theres the gap between the 2 cliff faces. Down to the left (down the hill) is 1 or 2 groups. Is it possible to get them without killing the colds that patrol up and down the hill? The group that spawns just infront of the steps/ramp to the Statue of Grenth The group that spawns furthest from you when you enter the Ice wastes, and the nearest to the *spoiler* door which "Grenth resides behind"

Thanks I'll try that

If you have NF, it should go faster with trapper's speed.
An above poster said that it didn't affect the recharge times of your traps *other* than the recharge reduction on the skill. That's incorrect.
Traps casting faster means that they are recharging *sooner*, so your skills will both cast and recharge faster than they would with just Serpent's Quickness.
The difference, unfortunately, is that SQ works on all skills and TS only works on your traps.
