Prepare for Trap nerf (?)

After watching this I don’t think they will nerf the trap ranger.

you set traps, you enemy use ranged attacks, you are dead…… but is a good build to defend.
Both Jons said it themselves that they “don’t want to play whack-a-mole” with each build people find that works. In fact, it seemed they want to keep it the way it is and bring the other potentially viable builds up to par with the Trapper Ranger.
This is a good plan if they execute it. Instead of lowering the bar for everyone you bring the bar up. To borrow a phrase from The Incredibles, “If everyone is super then nobody is.” That is to say if every build is “overpowered” then none of them are and they all become good choices.

If anything, ranger needs buffs.
