Duration/distance for traps?

Two quick questions on ranger traps (in terms of PvE)…

1) Do they last indefinitely, until they’re triggered?
2) Do you need to stay within range of them after they’re set, or could you theoretically set one and then wander off to the other corner of the map?

Thanks!

1. Spike, Viper’s Nest, and Frost last for 1 hour before despawning, or until you leave that particular map/instance. Flame trap lasts for about 1-2 minutes before despawning.
2. You can set one and go around the entire map without worries, at least until you re-use the trap.

Great, thanks! I was trying to test them myself and couldn’t get the details straight. (And unless I’m missing a duration tooltip somewhere, it’s odd that their lifespan isn’t listed.)
