Trapper with wolf/krytan hound. Also awesome at Skyhammer, just pop the traps on the teleporter and throw some new ones immediately after someone comes trough for a nice condi bomb. Wolf is also awesome at the Skyhammer cannon.
I prefer to play as an off-bunker on home point. Preset traps in smart positions (not in front of the point!) and you have a crazy advantage with double traps. Although I have been on the treb before and do agree that you can hold it quite well assuming you know where to place the traps. Pretty similar playstyles between the two really.
And if anyone is wondering why I say don’t place traps in front of the point, there are a few reasons.
1 ) You want your opponent to be committed to the attack when they hit your traps. Placing them too far ahead and a smart opponent will simply flee for the reset.
2 ) Traps in common pathways in front of the point tend to get “accidentally” evaded far more often than you would like. People simple like to hit their dodges as they approach to avoid any cc you will likely try to use on them to slow their progress to your point, often times leading to them dodging right over your preset traps.
3 ) The only thing better than catching an unsuspecting foe in your traps is doing it twice. If your traps are nearby when the enemy gets caught you can dump them on their face again (assuming you are using traited spike trap ofc).
Props for playing a trap ranger (even though I despise the longbow), they aren’t as easy to perform well with as some people think as they require quick response times on openings and smart trap placement/timing.
