Hi all,
Im not much for building Ranged toons but I think what Ive done is a fair job.
Can I get some thoughts on what I could do better (and why)?

Im near the Ranged softcap and took SS so I can place Trip Mines without causing agro.

Cheers

This is what I plan to field for my Beam/Traps. Perma-Hasten and softcapped to all positionals with 0.97 end/sec. You can swap the Apocalypse set with a Decimation set in Lancer Shot and the Ragnaroks with Posis in Overcharge, and you'll be over the set bonus cap for 1.12%s (still over 1400 HP), but it'll be cheaper. You also won't be perma-Hasten anymore, but you'll only be 2.4 seconds off from it.

Here's what I cooked up on my Traps/Beam Defender. Though obviously a bunch of the Defense values etc are different, maybe it will give you some thoughts.
