Guild Wars 2

Ok, I know traps are so bad that nobody cares about them. How about this idea though.

What if a trap automatically reset itself at the same location a while after it was triggered, without the player having to lay it again? Would this be a first step towards making traps useful or would it just be prone to exploits?

no thanks!
Another no brain skill no.
There are already too many passive skills in the game

traps is bad combination with the thief aspect. thief cant stay in one place and the dmg is so low and the recharge.

If they made Thief traps radial and/or gave us a trait similar to Trapper’s Expertise.
Either of those would make traps a lot more appealing, at least to me.
