The name of the build is : F.1.M.T -Fiery's 1 Man Trap
IGN is- Fiery Arrow Lives
and no stealing, or taking credit for my build.

Techincally done right, u can solo axes and squids from the first quest,
as for smites, i tried it with a guildie who was a monk who gave me more life,
but my traps pretty much took care of the smites easily.

Skils:

Barbed Trap
Flame Trap
Dust Trap
Oath Shot
Energizing Wind
Quickening Zephyr
Throw Dirt
Whirling Defense

Verrrrry interesting build, Fiery. Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to try this out! I've got everything necessary but the staff - where do you recommend picking up one of those?

I should try this... point blank solo trapping against aatxes sounds like a hair-raising and possibly profitable experience.

American didn't have favor the whole night AFAIK - I was on 8 PM - 1:30 EST. I think my ranger is the most fun of all, except I never tweaked out a solo build. They're great runners tho - just ran to all the desert towns, expecting to die, surprised when I reached the town portal. (Well surprised the first time)

Glad to see someone trying something like this - credit to the OP I've heard of 3 man trapper groups for UW but never applied it to a solo. EVery time I experiment with one of these builds overall I know the skills better, which combos go together nicely, etc...

Now we just need to get favor. No more Euro's crying about lack of favor - the Koreans and Euros have been owning the last few days. If I didn't know better I'd think the top American guilds were trying to hoard the ecto and corner the market! (Ecto was 14k last time I checked...)

According to a post on another forum (are we allowed to cross post here?), where someone has been keeping careful track of favor, this last week was the first in which America did not hold the majority of favor - Europe squeaked out a half-hour more than America, and Korea was close behind. Somethiing like 36/35/29%, really even.

I wouldn't mind so much if we only could have favor during peak hours. What the hell are Europeans doing up at 4 or 5am their time, anyway? (best Jon Stewart voice) Damn you Europe!!

Pros At Inactivity [bleh]

i dont really see how this is your build. this is pretty much everybodies solo trap build. its how you solo trap. except like the one person mentioned, youd get more traps down with serpents quickness.

...oh and then you could bring spike trap too, which makes the enemies get knocked down in your still-pulsing dust trap, making it infinitley more effective since the last update.

Haven't solo trappers been using this exact build(or slight variation running r/me) since the first month of the game?

It's not right for you to claim this is YOUR build. Nobody's build is THEIR build... Why? Because it's effectiveness can be calculated just like anything else in life...

Saying it's YOUR build makes me think you want to collect royalties or something from other people who want to use it. Now if they claim it's THEIR build, it's still a false statement...

Don't speak high and mighty about your build. When I say something is 'my' build, I say I use it, I don't say I'm the first or claim credit for it...

This build seems ok I suppose. But a trapper should always bring the elite trap. Like an axe user should always bring the elite axe skill and the like... Why use an elite outside your main weapon stat? (when it's a sword you're using, but not much else)

Too bad it got nerfed since the update...

about how many traps should we lay, and what about Spiked Trap instead of Oath shot?

Sayshina

The main reason for taking Oath Shot is that it allows you to keep Whirling and Throw Dirt up. Without those two skills I expect you die quickly against Bulls.

The greatest limitation to laying traps is how many you can drop in 60 seconds, as you need the other 30 to do the pull. Having 1 more trap to lay MIGHT allow you to drop a couple more, but Oath allows you to drop constantly until everything is dead.

I'm not sure when Spike Trap became a popular option, I thought EVERY trapper ran with Oath.

I have to second the comment about taking credit for inventing this build. It was around long before release, and I suspect you weren't.

i made a build like this like a month ago. only difference was sq instead of oath. The attributes dont really matter as long as you have 16 ws and 10+ on marks

heh i made a similar build to that few months ago, that survived the recent aoe nerf. been workin good for me -

your build however has no sq - must b slower.

i've never bothered to post my build up. it requires skills - and most ppl here seem oh so noob. but i guarantee its 2-3x faster.
:-D enjoy!
