Default Ranger Trapping

I farm with a ranger trapper build that includes
Spike Trap
Barbed Trap
Flame Trap
Dust Trap
Tripwire
Trappers Speed
Troll Urgent
Whirling Defense

14 Expertise
16 Wilderness

the creatures i farm in normal mode are easy to kill
i'm also able to do these same creatures in Hard Mode
my only problem is before my traps kill them 2 out of 10 usually
live because of the warrior skill healing Signet
Anyone got any ideas how i can stop them from healing ?

uhhhh, who are you fighting? It helps to know what and where you are farming. There is a lot of "The creatures"

Replace a skill and add choking gas. This should aoe interrupt them.

CG only affects spells.

@Pyra, AoE = Area of Effect, DPS = Damage Per Second.

To the real problem here, try d-shot and/or savage shot?

You can use the search and look up "echo dust trapper" for the kind of build you need. No need to load up on all kinds of traps when dust does most of the damage anyway. Echo FTW!

You know farming trolls either in NM or HM is senseless? I mean drops are crappy and they are not worthy of the time spend on them.

Echo dust trapping is trickier now that Energizing Wind is nerfed, but a 2/3-man trapping team can usually get a lot of traps set down before the now-shortlived Energizing Wind spirit dies.

The preferable method is a 2/3-man trapping group who uses Trapper's Speed or SQ, and does not worry about spirits.

15k per day....if that day is any more than 2 hours isnt worth ur time. a 2-3 trapper team would work but good luck trying to find ranger willing to do it with u for that kind of money...especially since the loot-scaling would kick in.

FYI back in the day I got my first 15k armor set piece by piece, farming Ettins all week long. 15k a day is a blessing!

Unless your talking about UW that would be pointless. If your on topic and talking about Trolls then look at the video please...
