after using Adhesive Mesh traps and (preferred at the moment) Phecnicine(sp?) dart traps (I will tell you why I prefer the latter in a moment). I have come across a couple of ideas (some of which have been tossed around already).


First off is the popular area movement dibilitator. I don't really mean a movement stopper like adhesive meshes, but like an area P. dart trap. something to slow down the large heavy-hitting aggresive critters while you scramble to safety while not getting pummled. I understand the complications, but if used wisely, and with a little luck, you can get out quickly and safely. 5 seconds is all that is needed, you may want to increase it to 30 if you want. But 5 seconds of burst running will get most people out of most situations. The down side with this kind of trap (and I would probbably use it once or twice myself) would probbably be this, "Use trap, HAM Shot creature 1, (Mind/action/health...the bleeds) HAM shot creature 2, HAM shot creature 3, trap, rince repeat with head,arm,body shots. however this can easily be discouraged by solo hunters (like myself) by just the damage aggression most creatures (that I noticed) have. let me explain, when I mindshot a creature, then peace, when the damage hits, it aggros me and starts to attack, with 3 or 4 hard hitting creatures, I don't last long.


I do not know the resources needed for the higher up ranger traps yet, but if adhesive meshes is any indication, they will be along the same lines. That is one reason I mainly stick with P. Darts as opposed to using adhesive meshes more than I do. I do use meshes for larger game, but for most critters, a good P. dart is all that is needed. As for who can make them? I would suggest master ranger, but that is just my idea.

Hello , I don't use the Adhesive Mesh anymore , although I did use it a bit when I first got it . The only trap I use , and sadly the only useful one to ME is Phecickfhaosidfl;adsf




aww hell I just call it the slow bomb . Makes em slow for a good 20 seconds or so every time , works against hard MOBs with good Trapping skills and is just more consistent and usefull . So the others all suck .



That's my only point I guess .



You didn't mention why you use the dart one , by the way . Found a use for something useless ? I'm curious ....
