User:Abs of Glue/Tranquil Trapping


 * Using Tranquil Was Tanasen along with the trapping abilities of a Ranger, this build is effecting in places such as Fort Aspenwood, or could be used in any mission where a bottleneck could occur, allowing traps to slowly kill off enemies.

Attributes and Skills

 * The other attributes can be put into whatever.

Equipment

 * Since you will be holding an item very frequently, no weapons will really be as useful. A staff with a high amount of energy (for PvP, a staff with a +5 Energy head and +5^50% Inscription are advised) incase you aren't holding anything
 * Superior Restoration, Minor Spawning, and the highest vigor rune affordable.
 * Oracle's Armor for protection while holding the ashes, or Halcyon Armor for extra energy.

Usage

 * Locate an area you know you will have to defend well, or a tight area where enemies will come through that can be body blocked by Warriors. Cast Empowerment NEAR the area, close enough that you will be affected, but far enough that it won't be targeted.
 * Cast Tranquil Was Tanasen.
 * Lay down traps as rapidly as you can (except for Healing Spring). Be wary of energy levels
 * If you are under attack while laying down spirits, use Healing Spring (while still holding the ashes) for an emergency heal to you and allies.

Counters

 * Energy Denial
 * If Tranquil Was Tanasen is interupted or disrupted, laying traps can be difficult, if not impossible, while under attack.
 * High damage skills
 * Knock-downs are not prevented by Tranquil Was Tanasen.

Variants

 * In PvP, use Soothing Images as a free self heal in the optional slot.
 * In PvE, use FoMF or Rez Sig in the optional slot.
 * Snare can replace Barbed Trap if energy tends to be a problem, but at the loss of bleeding.

Ranger/Ritualist Variant

 * This is possible as a R/Rt as well.

Usage

 * Follow the steps listed above, since it is a fairly similar setup.

Variants

 * In PvP, replace Healing Spring with Energizing Wind and place Quickening Zephyr in the optional spot. These spirits can really reduce energy problems.
