Scout Archive

I am sorry to say that I will not have enough skill points to master the scout profession let alone make it into the ranger profession. However, I will be able to make it up to Trapping 4 (as well as 4 in 2 other branches). I currently only have Trapping 2 and have noticed that even against the newbie creatures it fails often.

If I go all the way up to Trapping 4 will I be able to uses traps on the higher level creatures (like level 50 or so)?

Am I just wasting my time putting points into trapping if I only go up to Trapping 4?

I have trapping 4, and I would say it is usefull. But the better traps come with 3, the P(something) Darts. They snare you opponent for a set amount of time, where they can only move a few meters throughout.

The Trapping 4 Traps, don't work as long, kinda sucks, but it renders them imobile for a SHORT period of time. Short being no-where near long enough.

In short, if it gives you a bonus for trapping, yes it's good (can't remember off the top of my head), but that trap that comes with it, isn't anything special (and is hopefully getting beefed up a little at some point).

Thanks for the info...

However,I do not really care about what the trapping 4 traps do I just wanted to know if the total trapping skills you get by having Trapping 4 will allow me to use them on the higher level creatures. You see, I am a master Bio-Engineer and a soon to be master Creature Handler. For the most part I bring very little to my groups besides my pet(s). Take my pets out of the equation and I have very little offensive skills. So basically I was interested in traps to give me something to do while grouped. But if it were to turn out that traps rarely work on the higher level mobs I just do not see the point in them.

Oh, one more question (after answering whether or not the skills you get from Trapping 4 = a total of 30 trapping, is capable of trapping higher level mobs):

Can traps be used on droids? I know traps cannot be used on humanoids so I am wondering about droids.

No, beast only.

Guys,

The upper level Scout traps do work well on higher level creatures. I made Trap Master in two days using P-darts, Adhesive Mesh, Glow Wire and Glow Juice traps on Fambaas.

I would say that Trapping 4 is not the worse skill you could dump those last skill points into. You will hit a bit more often, but probably not more often enough that you would really notice the difference.

At least get to level III, the Phenociene Dart has really been a force multiplier in taking down creatures. It almost makes combat boring. Throw dart. Go Prone. Blast away with a sliced master weaponsmithed carbne until they're down to 20%. Stand up. Melee (or blaster) down the rest. Stim pack, twice, and I'm ready for the next. I'm sure if I put some thought into it I woudn't even have to melee, but then I like to keep my action pool high for burst run.
