SPEED TRAPPING UW for pro trappers!
Well UW seems to be getting a bit dull latly so thought i would throw this one out, its a dual person trap build which drops attaxe in about 30 secs.
This is not a guild im too lazy to write one i put this here for discussion only, please dont flame or say what kind of guide is this blah blah blah ITS NOT A GUIDE.... as such, if you dont like it then dont use it just please dont sit there criticising as im too lazy to explain.
Both should have 16 in trap the rest in expertise
Energy staff and attunement runes in spare slots (i use 2)
Trapper 1 - Puller
Echo
Dust Trap
Barbed Trap
Flame Trap
Trappers Speed
Trolls
Res
Whirl
Trapper 2 - Umm weird person who has 2 elite skills
Arcane Mimicry
Dust Trap
Spike Trap
Barbed Trap
Trappers Speed
Trolls
Res
Whirl
So its simple really trapper 1 u should be able to lay this as follows 1 echo, 2 dust, 3 echo of the dust, 4 dust, 5 echo of the dust (echo will run out then u should of laid 4 times) drop in babred a few times and flame once when waiting for the above to charge , then you pull if u like u can wait and lay dust the 5th time.
Trapper 2 use arcane mimic to copy trapper 1 echo as above, whenever you can lay spike so they stay in dust trap for max time, lay barbed when ever.
Before attaxe hit traps hit whirl
If your finding it hard or cant pull very well then drop in another dust or two before pull, you need to make sure all hit traps as same time.
Keep up trappers speed at all times you should find that once you have laid the dust traps 4 times each (with the other traps when ever poss) that you have enough damage down to kill Attacxe theortically just the dusts do enough if you could keep em there for the 5 secs.
All others are just too easy too mention and i guess now that you cant group smites as easy with monk build, and with this build you can pull about 20 at once (well i do anyway) that in the long run this is probably one of the quickest builds going.
Dont know for sure and in all honesty dont really care lol, im here to have fun and if a run takes me 15 or 20 mins im really not that bothered.

For those interested-
I'm working on a 2-man UW trapping guide (yes, the builds are different) and am looking for volunteers to help with it. I'm considering expanding it to a 3-man trapping guide, but then it wouldn't be as cool. It's also fairly inexpensive for any armor/runes that you need.
Any volunteers are welcome to e-mail me on guru or PM me in game, my IGN is in my profession description under my poster name.
@Sour Pancake: The mesmer elite "Echo" will echo traps, "Arcane Echo" will not.

You can help trap as soon as your monk can make a 25e cost skill into a 5-9e cost skill...
Actually though I've been considering the addition of a Mo/R or Mo/Me for mass-pull purposes (whole aataxe room at once, for example), though I think a 3rd ranger would be more effective after some practice.

lol the build speaks for itself, all you need to know about trapping is lay down traps, know where traps are and lure the enemy into them :P
Nice build ill have to get my friend out of spider farming in fow and try this, i could use some ecto.

I would help you but what's the difference between you're build and the odd 2/3-man?

Skills used in the build... I've been using my build since a day or so after NF came out, I didn't just copy it off of the OP and change 1 thing. I've actually been hinting at the possibility of duo-trapping in UW in almost all my posts about Trapper's Speed.

Hi Bloodied Babe, we have been due trapping UW for ages now its ridicuosly easy but slow (about 20-30 mins per run, smite run) thats why we do it for a laugh when were generally drunk!, the build i have here is for speed ie you can lay traps kill and go onto next set within 30 secs i dont think you can get much faster for a duo trap as you need to lay traps to do more than 960 damage to kill attaxe however more than happy to try. (dust is the highest damage dealing trap and thats all u lay apart from the spike to keep em there and others whilst dust recharging)
If your a good trapper, then PM me in game and your welcome to join our guild, its called TRAP.
Curios what skills your using due to NF though, give me a shout, i cant see much that is any use other than trappers speed (not as good as two spirits but quicker recharge), trip wire is ok but you have to lay the other trap upfront to get the degen before they hit the main set other than that none of the new ones do much damage.
I do hope your statement about copying old builds isnt referening to my build as its nothing like the old builds other than it uses echo the idea of mimicing hasnt been used before or dual echo or trappers speed etc to beat recharge time etc. The only thing thats the same is that you use traps lol

Honestly... why do you need 4 dust traps? Why not dmg with Flame or Spike? Each person has minicry, Spike/Echo and have 2 spike traps. Maybe even Archane Echo for 6 or so... ? Not sure if that would work...
EDIT-Nvm, dust does xx dmg each second, doing more dmg over time then a big BANG(with alot of flame/spike/barbed) and everyone dead... tho it might be easyer to use a 20barbed then 20 dust for more instant dmg.
ps-i havent trapped uw much... so im just looking at other posibiliys

Hi again all,
Targoyle if ya like trapping come join our guild, were all rangers as base chars but all of us also have monk, necro etc. Were called Trap. Basically small guild likes a laugh but only open to people who have a drink problem and like to have a laugh and take the p out of each other.
Elthanor, dust does 26 damage per sec per trap however the attaxe are really only there for 4 seconds so you cant consider the full five sec damage (just for your calcs as you said you had not tried trapp much) so the damage is about 104 with the echo build you can lay 7 traps if pulling on 60 sec mark so approx 728 damage that with 3 dust traps is enough for you to kill attaxe on your own! Trapping is great fun its like a fireworks display but its also very slow. However now with the group nerf its one of the quickest ways to farm big groups, at the mo were duo the end elite missions in NF for styren gems can pull 2 grps of 9 (single pull) of the lvl 28 styren what evers (not fiends, they are too much messing about) and kill em all in one hit and tehy come in waves to make it even easier lol and you get light points! drops are ok odd gem and odd gold but not great but then no where is nowadays.
Have fun

Thanks for the offer but i must decline. I am the proud leader of a very small pve oriented guild, all friends and i cant leave "just like that".
But im always game to meet somewhere and play because with 3 chapters the ppl are getting very thinly spread out and its getting harder and harder to get a good PUG group.
