AR/Traps Love-in

Just wanted to say how much fun an AR/Traps build can be. Loads of nice AoE's and cones for maximising Scourge - Buckshot, M30, Flame-Thrower & Full-Auto.

Plus Traps suits those of us how fancy a more tactical way of playing, but once you've got all your toys set up the spawns just melt away under a hail of hot-lead (shame there isn't a proper heal though!).

Probably hopeless in PvP but for PvE its a really underated combo.

"Eat my full-auto!"

Never had the patience to play */Traps with Trip Mines etc. while solo, but I can definitely see the potential fun to be had if everyone else on the team had */Traps too, ie. all 8 players with a like-minded tactical set-up, plus the set-up itself takes one eighth of the time. Then Full-Auto-times-eight... the screen would fill with bullet casings and little orange/grey numbers!

Not at all i've enjoyed many aerial dog fights with AR/Dev blasters..Ar/Traps corrs can certainly hold there own V AR/Dev's and it does stop any blaster from using defiance

I have a real love/hate relationship with AR. I just can't get on with the fact that its best actual rifle attacks are so very underwhelming a lot of the time due to so much lethal/smashing resistance out there. Sniping an even level Longbow minion for less that half his health is always a bit disappointing. Not to mention frightening when the rest of the spawn come running/flying in with all their various attacks and synergies.

Web Grenade/Ignite + Flamethrower is often the only thing you have I find and it's starting to get a little old now. But hey, that's what alting is for

Maybe the Inventions system will let AR slot enhancements to do different types of damage? That would make the set as good as it should be.

Heh, only way I could take down Warriors was doing this, over and over again. Igniting myself worked because they kept running away rather than attacking me with their swords.

Haven't done much PvP but I found AR/Traps to be quite versatile, due to the rareity hardly anyone knows what your going to do.

Takes a while to solo though due to having to set everything up but its the best class purely because of beanbag.


It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!
