It was resolved so quickly last time. I am disappoint…
Let’s see…someone said raptors and griffons already. OH. Plated Behemoths!! I WANT. Put it in the bear family pl0x.
Hello, Thermkin! I can’t answer all of your questions, but I do have a few nuggets of personal experience you might be interested in.
Hmm. Well, I run with mostly Knights gear, with a few Cavalier and Valkyrie trinkets. I don’t have any condition damage other than what I get from my traits, and I use Fire and Frost traps.
For the most part, I find my traps quite useful. Fire Trap does do good damage on its own, even without condition damage and Frost Trap helps me immensely with kiting. It’s much better than Muddy Terrain, if traited, especially because Chilled is awesome.
With these, I use Lightning Reflexes for escape and Healing Spring. My weapons are Axe/Torch or Warhorn and Greatsword. To put it simply: Combo Fields! I make lots of ‘em. It’s good for groups and I can do a few neat things with them, myself.
tl;dr No, you don’t need to go condition damage to make good use of traps. Your damage will just be allocated elsewhere. You can be zerker and use traps if you wanted to, but if I had to pick just one: Frost Trap because Chilled.
