Well I have finally decided to start playing my ranger. Curretnly I am at level 17 and have access to all 3 campaigns with most skills unlocked. I am trying to level from 17-20 and came up with a build to solo (kind of) the 6 jade knights outside the market place (154 exp ea). The thing is, as I am new to trapping, sometimes it works and sometimes is doesn't. This ismy build as of now
Energizing wind
Quickening Zepher
Trapers speed
Dust trap
Barbed trap
vipers nest
flame trap
whirling defense
armor max no insignia yet
runes sup exp, min wilderness
wep stormbringer (+30 health +10 energy)
Now for the cool part I use a hero to bond me but since he doesnt attack he get no exp so its like a solo in that regards
bonds
Life barrier
watchful spirit
mending
vital blessing
Problem
I set my spirits EW and QZ back a little then set my traps
all 4 in the same place then back up and repeat
I then pull the group into them cast whirling defense and set more traps (keeping trappers speed up all the time)
The thing I am having trouble with is that sometimes they don't seem to trigger all the traps or they run away (even though there are only 3 at a time) any hints. When they dont all go down right away it s=just takes forever b/c I have to wait for whirling defense to recharge so I can reset traps, health isn't an issue with all the bonds in place and I was thinkg of even using bal's spirit also for more energy.
Any input would be nice

(Bump) I have looked at various trapping builds but most are for specific areas and level 20 rangers with spike trap.
I am really looking for a quick way to level my ranger and this to me seems like it should work. My big problem is stategy in regards to trappin. as with any specialty you learn things as you do it more. Since I am new I was hoping I could get some pointers from everyone.
Oh yeah I made my monk a M/R and have him use EW and QZ for me. so i was think of adding serpents quickness to increase my recharge time on whirling defense and traps.
Like I said any input advice is appreciated as I have never played a ranger before

maybe you culd switch secondary to Necro and make a touchy necro with defense skills + two touch skills.
Another way, maybe mark of rotgorth could hex them and you could set them all time on fire with fiery string.
Just 2 cents.
Have fun!

Oh randomness...I've just started a new Ranger today (didn't like the old one's hair) and I'm thinking about trapping to lvl him. I'll get guildys to help me through the desert, I'll beat the dopple and then it's off to UW trapping!

Didn't think about making him a touchie. Don't have Offering of blood yet though sop energy management would be tough. Hmm guess i'll just keep playing around. I need to do those desert mission anyway for the extra attribute quests
