How is this props to anyone? I was posting what I use to solo several places.. Using all the available traps and the "regular" trapper spirits isn't exactly CREATIVE by any means!

If someone else uses this build, or at least 7 of the same slots thats not exactly surprising... its a basic TRAPPER BUILD... using all traps and the essential spirits.. so thats 7 slots!

I posted this in the ranger section.... it was moved here, I'm sure this is a very common build for some.... but I doubt Lasher Dragon or whoever is the original creator of it... i've been using it since factions came out... which i'm sure many have...

I simply saw a sub-par solo trapper build and figured I'de post mine, and when I saw mine I mean the one I use....and I believe the first person to use this build was actually a beta tester FYI

Ya, I still play around with the basic trapper build I used for UW runs last year. vipers nest is okay, but I don't like having to spread point in the beast mastery to use it I use spike trap {e} at the moment, because the knock down just means that much more damage to enemies in your traps. I plan on playing around with trappers focus {e}. I might be better since it makes you harder to interupt when setting traps. Not sure what the % chance is to interupt you though, but my basic idea is:

1)set 10 traps
2)pull a group of monsters in the traps
3)when they hit the traps, they will turn around and walk away for a bit, but will come back at you.
4)when they come back to you, hit Whirling Defense, then Trappers focus, then start trapping at their feet. Can add in Throw Dirt for emercency blind possibly.

Setting 10 traps for basic mobs will usually take them out, except for bosses. The most traps I can set at once in 90 seconds (2 full 45sec recharge cycles of Serpents Quickness) is about 17-18 traps before the traps start to trigger.

Lol howeller was pissed since he posted a vengeful build to solo kephkets, and he thought everyone was congratulating Dahnel (the first to make vengeful farming public) and that he was getting no credit. Lol haha he went on a flame spree! Well last I trapped was months ago, in 5 man UW trapping grps. I wondered if solo trapping UW could pay off but when factions came out....well you lose focus lol. But yes it's obvious that those 7 slots are universal to all trappers now, though I'm R/W and too lazy to cap spike trap I'll be using ViM! Around three and sometimes four sets, you can kill Aataxes, and I'll be trying other areas (Naphui?! FTW CEL WEPS HERE I COME!) Thanks for getting me back into trapping preacher.

Go R/N and Throw Mark of Pain on One of The Ataxxes

Big Boom

I am very new to trapping, actually, never tried it ever.

I got all of the skills, but my question is...What weapon are you using?

Also, can you spare some detail on how to go about using this build for Nahpui?

Greatly appreciated, and thank you for getting me interested in trapping!

Standard build like you stated but thanks for the update on what you have been able to farm with it, that helps alot. Havn't taken the time to test it yet, but you have so for us so thanks for updating what you have been able to do. To busy on new characters and getting others through factions dang real life!

P.S. who is Dahnel?

I got a question. i tried this solo (uw) and couldnt kill the aatxes, i used each trap twice so

Lvl 29 Aatxes have a ton of health. 2 full rounds of traps from one ranger will just not cut it. Its more efficient and much faster if you can find a friend and do a 2-3 man UW run.
