Trap

General
Trap: "Creates a trap that you set and leave for your enemy to trigger."

With the exception of certain PvE skills, Traps are exclusive to Rangers and are associated with Wilderness Survival and Beast Mastery attributes. Traps have activation times and are always easily interrupted while activating. They are location-based and are triggered--with one exception--by adjacent foes. Triggering them activates either an instant effect or an over-time effect. Many deal damage, and they commonly inflict conditions as well.

The aforementioned exception is Healing Spring, which heals nearby allies every two seconds. Healing Spring triggers instantly, probably because it is triggered by allies and you, being an ally, are in trigger-range as soon as it's activated.
