For starters don't use a cookie cutter builds, make up your own.
There is more to this game than farming the underworld.
Take your time, play the game.
I agree with you, a trapping ranger is boring, on the other hand a interupting skill based ranger looking over the battle field and seeing something going into a casting stance and "pow", thats one meteor shower your not getting off, can be very challenging and rewarding.
Now if you really want a challenge, you really want plat, take that warrior and train yourself for a droks run, the good ones get 15k per run. Even then, after a few hundred runs that willl get boring also.
Here is what I suggest you do. Take your current character and go back to ascalon, play all those missions and bonuses you skipped, don't run any where, just slow down and play the story mode of the game.
If you still can't enjoy the game, then ask your sellf "Why am I playing this game, what are my goals, and is this the type of game that will allow me to acchieve thos goals?"
If all you are looking for is the uber godly stuff, then this might not be the game for you, although my ranger has some "greens", the rest of my character are doing fine with collector weapons. My goal is to have fun, I enjoy doing the missions with a good PUG group, or even an mediocre PUG group, or playing the advanced, like the tombs, areas with my guild.
My brother likes taking his ranger into a random arena, you can try that, maybe PvP is more to you liking.
