Hello there I was hoping for some advice on my build from experienced players.
I’ve experimented with different weapons and skills, and enjoy pistols and traps very much.

I like to bimble about laying traps for control and using unload as my main source of damage.
I’m not a very dynamic gamer, and I’m not looking to be super powerful.
But I would like my gear, traits and skills to work well together.
I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest sigils, runes and jewellery to me.
Also any tips for the abilities I have, e.g. is body shot worth using

I have looked for the information, but have struggled to find anything concise.

P/P Trap Build

You could do well with this build. You’ll Unload and then Autoshot until you’re back to full Initiative to give yourself the most damage output. Crits and Autoshots will help recover Initiative. You’ll have a lot of caltrop and dodging capability.

Do you mainly PvE or PvP with this?

thanks Blood I’ll have an experiment with that build, I’m very much PvE. I had read something about Rune of the Eagle being bugged in some way?

Last I checked Eagle set was very expensive, 18+ Gold on my TP. You could look at Ogre or Scholar 6 or Mesmer or Ranger 5 sets which may be a bit less costly. Also Ruby Orbs are good upgrades for Precision/Crit/Power.
