Default Rate This Build

To start off with plz no flame, first time i post here.

This is a build i took out of my brain and putted togheter, its for HA mainly :

Healing Spring : For main healing.
Trapper's Focus [E] : So u wont be interupted while casting Healing Spring.
Dust Trap : To take out close range melee if they step into your area.
Flame Trap : Same idea as Dust Trap.
Needling Shot : For Dmg to make presure on them.
Resurection Signet : For rez in case u need it.
Optional Slot.
Optional Slot.

Heres the idea its not meant for High class guilds wich wanna come to HoH its just meant for Fast Fame farming.

How to use : Group up so u all will get healing from Healing Spring, When all bulked up at each other start casting -> Trapper's Focus -> Healing Spring -> Dust Trap -> Flame Trap. Team is 8 Rangers All with same build all does the same. rinse and repeat build and u wont be getting any trouble hopefull.

Counters : Leaving your Bulked up group as you wont be getting any healing.

Keep in touch i have never tryed/tested this build as i'm not a big HA player but would be happy to have a guild team to look at this and might post what u think about it.

0/10 , Your all grouped up Dervishes will rape you. Ele's will rape you. Earthshaker will rape you. Splinter weapon will rape you.

Basicly your gonna get raped, and Real players aren't like AI, they won't think "Cool they're using traps, let's go stand beside them and watch...Oh wait, We died."

Dervishes wont because of dust trap, earthshaker wont either because of dust trap, splinter mabye but when u look at the massive healing from healing spring then i doubt it ele's hmm yes they will probally rape us but when i have HA i only seen like 1 ele in a group or 2 mabye but if all focus on the ele and use needling shot then ele will die pretty close and mabye with some tactic in group before they start like ' if a ele tryes kill us and use like sh then move right or left idk ' and then the group will have healed alot again and then might presure the other group well imo it can be done with a bit diffuclty and hard work. sry bout my english.

No offense, but the build is terrible. It has nearly no damage if the other players have played GW for more than 10 minutes, and elementalists will rape you.

Epic lulzz Yes it's not like people snare targets In Ha is it? No they just use Sh on you then let you move. Your blind won't go far, the cooldown on Restore condition is quicker than your dust trap which means buffed up frontliners are going to stomp you into the ground while their ele's blow you up. I wanna see this Versus a balanced team with [Earth shaker] [Savannah heat] and [restore condition].


Note to self : stop being Evulz.


Edit : I feel bad :'(

As long as there are alive people on the opposing team (I.e not leechers or henchmen/bots w/e) you nwill get owned, because they will see that your trapping and either sit and wait or just wand/cast spells on you without triggering them.

To be fair I think it could withstand wand damage :P

But rangerspikes or caster spikes would be nasty with no prot in your team

I going to go out on a limb and hand out a -4 outta 10 on this build
It's not really a grade I like to hand out, but I think this build deseves it.

1) "optional slot x2" If your going to make a build, then make a build, not 3/4 of one.

2) Ranger Spike is all the rage in HA, so people with ranged attacks will have no problems.

3) do some research on "VIMWAY" it's an OLD Ranger Trapped team build that was nerfed away a couple years ago.

4) You will not have any energy since you are useing a bow to fire off all those mighty Needleing shots.

5) Along the lines of #1 you should TEST a build prior to posting, that way when you find out it fails, you won't have to post it and get flamed.

6) The saying is "Keep in mind" not "keep in touch"

I could go on, but I suggest you scrap this, go make a complete build and test it, then come back for suggestions/tweeks/more flames.

Sigh. Ha matches are not based on who has the most heals, I have won numerous matches with EoE / Shockwave spike teams which consisted of 7 eles and a ranger even teams like that would wipe your team within seconds.

/Evul mode on You registered here over a year ago, so You've played the game around the same time as me I'm guessing (a year and a half or so) and you don't seem to have a knowledge of how it works whatsoever.
I advise you to stay In PvE or find a mindless gimmick team (that actually works) and stick with it, because in my opinion your not fit to design a team build with your current knowledge.

Also, I agree with Milk on most of his/her statements apart from the bow thing.(weapon switching)
you should try builds out first, if they work good and you wish to share them or need advice on them feel free to post , But you clearly haven't tryed this versus the current meta It seems to me like you observed a couple of matches.

[Savannah Heat] laughs at your face. [Teinai's heat] and [searing heat] or plain old [searing flames] makes your 33 hp every 2 seconds into -30hp every second +burning at the end. And your traps are easily interruptable - be it wanding or Cry of Frustration.

well to be fair, you can't wand the traps while they're using trapper's focus.
dunno why I'm defending this build..but whatever :P

To reply after Abedeus...We all know that Cry of Frustration really stands for a 4-character word that starts with an F and is probably the most common word in all humanity.

That word basicly tells you what you are when using that build anywhere.

The build won't even stand out in PvE.

To top it off..trapping is for farming or very very VERY organised dungeon trapper teams. (I love to trap Kinslayer. 5 trappers, 3 monks (1 bonder))

LOL wow you guys are harsh. give the guy some credit for at least *trying* to make his own build, albeit one of THE WORST ones i've seen. there are plenty out there who just go for the "mindless gimmick"

I would give him credit, if he had spent more than 5 minutes thinking of this.

At least people that make mindless gimmicks usually have an understanding of the game, and don't just think "Omg we have lots of heals and some blind!!! now enemy melee will be useless vs us!!" seriously this guy didn't even list AoE as a counter for the build, he obviously hasn't given it a minutes thought. Ok so I was rather harsh but I don't like it when people spend a few minutes on something and think it will be good enough to share.

I'm guessing the OP is one of the players who wanders into traps set by PvE monsters that could be avoided even by a bad melee character.

Your traps do not move. Even if you set them all nicely, how many people will wander over to trigger them? How will you kill anyone without them getting hit by your traps? Needling Shot won't do much good against a team with an average Monk, much less a team with a good Monk.

You said a Dervish wouldn't do much against you because of Dust Trap. What about a Rt/A using Spirits Strength and daggers? 2 skills say they would have fun with you - and a Monk on their team can keep them alive fairly easily in your traps.
