Jugglemonkey.8741 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Why is it that you can dodge through every other type of trap except ranger? They seem to wait for me to stop evading and then trigger, it's really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotejjeken.1267 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Most likely explanation is because they are buggy and unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, all ranger traps minus spike trap pulse over a duration, so dodging the first hit doesn't really do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffball.8307 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The good news is that you can move out of the trap via whatever means you have (blink, etc.) and then kill the crazy ranger trying to make traps work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malisivo.5264 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I think I enjoy watching people get launched into the air and chase after me while crippled, like, way too much. Get me some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugglemonkey.8741 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Haha, this all makes sense. I mean, it's not much of a problem as ranger traps are on a par with thief traps for usefulness in most situations (at least yours are circular not lines lol), the trigger timing was just consistently inconsistent with other professions so I had to ask ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get me some help. Something doesn't have to be meta to be worth playing, I kinda love my trap thief build because nobody expects it these days (you have to be kinda bad to die to it) and the salt is hilarious. If you enjoy it then go for it ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneQR.7412 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Frost trap sadly does not get any use sadly. A smoke trap in its place would be sweet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If frost trap was made into a stun break, or applied Slow in addition to chill I guarantee you it’d be used lol, but as of now it’s pretty shit.

urdriel.8496 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 in the actual state of Condition Damage they should inflict more Cond damage and have less Cd plus some trait changes to make them usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With mesmer runes you could disable anyone for a long time when they step into it.A smokegield that blinds and breaks stun would be fitting and would have good utility IMO.

Jake Orion.2049 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm not a trap user on ranger (only DH) but if you run them, what is your build?I could never get satisfactory results using traps (PvE and WvW, not a PVP player.) Perhaps I was just using them wrong and not properly outfitted to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
