I dont know if devs are reading every topic in every forum but i will try to put an idea in the table.
I never was fun of builds that are to focused in some skills.For example i dislike the fact that Trap Rangers and only Trap Rangers are using the Traps as utility skills.I would like to see some other builds choosing some trap.And the opposite,Trap builds choosing a signet for example,but this is another conversation-topic.
So i thought a easy way that,maybe, would make traps viable in other builds.
How about making traps triggerble?
The idea is to make the fire trap so you can shoot some flaming arrows in some cond builds,so you wont have to wait someone to step on it.
I think it would mess a lot some builds and some traits but i think it would be a nice idea to work with it
i use a very successful build with a frost trap without any of the associated tratis – i try to keep perma-chill on enemies so obviously it’s good for that, and i use sword so leap gives me frost armour which got a nice buff. However i do agree that they should be more viable without associated trat investment so builds could mix and match more. Trap traits especially make them exponentially more useful. Same with some signets come to think of it – stone is fairly awful without 30 in Marksmanship

Traps are useful for any build, unlike spirits I’d say almost all builds benefit from using them at least occasionally. With 30 points in Marksmanship you can make excellent use of frost trap for chilling opponents, poison is always useful on mobs that heal a lot and other players, spike trap is good in PvP just for the immobilize and cripple, and flame + frost traps are always useful in dungeons for the combo fields alone. If you choose to do so, you can specialize in traps to max their damage output. I see no issue with that except for the fact that trap traits are for some inexplicable reason in the skirmishing line.

I have never noticed an immobilize with my spike trap, I use it although no immobilize and the tool tip does not mention one that I noticed. It seems the thief has better traps than we do imo.

It’s not in the tooltip but it does immobilize, I believe the duration is 1 second. See the wiki.
I will play around with it a little tonight and see if it really does or not. I just have never noticed it before…not saying it dosent as I am very likely wrong.

I like my Sword/Torch + Longbow, or GS + Longbow with Flame trap with my BM so I get dat dere might. With the new Flame Aura, You can increase your damage pretty well using it with your leap.
