Dont try to fight this shit, just a bunkerish build. Rotate elsewhere and win the game :).
Good build,the T0 pet Fanged Iboga make this build very good for solo.But I don't think it can handle being killed by the Deadeye +1 very well.Nerf deadeye pls :)
I love this build, on my lvl (g3) is quite strong, very beginner friendly, i took trapper expertise and against condis which the build may feel weak if you fight on the heal trap you are almost invincible, a weak point is the pet is very vulnerable.
good mobility, easy stealth, high survivability, good group support with stealth and the elite.
The dmg looks bad on peaper, but it has a good hybrid damage.
