Guild Wars 2

I’m currently running a condition damage/trapping build on my ranger, and for it to be the most effective I use the traits Trapper’s Expertise, a master trait in the Skirmishing trait line, and Trap Potency, a grandmaster trait in Skirmishing.

The problem that I have with them being in Skirmishing is that putting points into Skirmishing give you +critical chance and +critical damage.

These bonuses don’t really help out my trapping builds, while the Marksmanship trait line, + condition duration, and the Wilderness Survival trait line, + condition damage, directly improve traps.

These two reasons, critical buffs not helping traps and condition buffs helping traps, make me think that Trapper’s Expertise and Trap Potency would fit better into Marksmanship or Wilderness Survival rather than Skirmishing.

i thought you would be complaining about the ranger only having to spam traps and auto attacks. Ranger is currently a broken class imo, I am sure they will work out this stuff eventually
