Trapper

A Trapper is a ranger who specializes in traps. Traps are a core component of many PvP team builds, and are also popular farming in areas such as the Underworld. Trappers are, therefore, quite popular.

Because of the high energy cost of traps, most trappers use Druid's Armor and a staff or focus to increase their energy. They also generally maximize their Expertise.

In PvE, foes can be lured to the traps with a bow, but this tends to bring the foes in a haphazard fashion. It is generally beneficial for a group of enemies to arrive on top of the traps simultaneously. To do this effectively the "puller" will have to aggro the mobs, then run them to the traps in clumps. There are several techniques for clumping foes -- running circles around them, and using a stuttered run are the popular methods.

However, once hitting the traps, monsters will scatter. Therefore it is advisable to bring Barbed Trap or Snare.
