So, what are you making your Traps Defender?

After fiddling around in Mids' for an hour or two, I still can't decide what secondary I will be giving my future Traps Defender. I've been working on trying to soft-cap mine to Ranged/AoE and I've actually made it work with Radiation Blast (Electric Blast came close with 45% to Ranged, ~40% to AoE). Here is /that/ build:

&lt;Topic&gt;

I want to make a Traps Defender, and I definitely plan to try/test one out on Test during I16 beta.

BUT ultimately I'm going to wait till Dual Pistols to make one.

Trickshooter's Characters | @Trickshooter @Brightside

Oh, I want Dual Pistols soooo bad. Hm. Maybe I'll make a Dual Pistols/Traps Corruptor. Hopefully the shiny of the Dual Pistols will be enough to get to 10/16 for Acid Mortar/FFG (I'm very impatient when it comes to cool/good powers unlocking, and Traps is kind of "Meh" [In my opinion] until you get those two). I don't think I can wait for Going Rogue to make my Traps Defender. :O

I think it is a little harder on a defender because you don't have a defense-based shield in the epics.

I've been under the personal opinion (though I could be incorrect) that Going Rogue was going to come out before i16, since i16 feels like it's going to be coming out around February (guess), and Going Rogue would make perfect sense to coming out for Christmas.

That's just my feeling since people need to buy Going Rogue and they don't need to buy i16.

i16 will be going into beta soon. So I'm guessing an October release.

Anyway back on topic. Traps/Sonic all the way for me. Already have the name resevered and everything.

Mine will have the immobilize secondary.

I have promised a friend that I will make a Traps/AR defender some day, if only so that she can feel better about her AR/Dev blaster's damage.

I'm also debating between a Traps/Sonic and a Rad/Sonic, so I may have two Trappers.

Traps/rifle of traps/pistols if they release it for defenders also.

It is a little harder. I made a Corruptor build that was soft-capped to Smashing, Lethal, Energy, Ranged and AoE. Scorpion Shield helps a *lot* for that.

At the San Diego Comic Con it was announced that i17 would be Going Rogue.
Also, i16 should be going to test in about a week or slightly more at this point.

A nothing/nothing/nothing, unless that stupid time bomb is replaced.

Traps/elec probably. I like electricity

Traps/Traps/Traps. Seriously. I would do this.

Traps/Elec I guess. 2 sets I havent tried yet and they might even work together.

Traps/Archery probably, I'll want Pistols on a Blaster with a Martial Arts secondary.

I have three I'm thinking of so far

Traps/Radiation
Traps/Sonic
Traps/Archery

So far I'm leaning towards Radiation

There's a secondary other than sonic?

Anyone else thinking Traps/ Super Team!!!!!!!!

I'm going to be extremely unoriginal and make a Traps/AR defender
