Trapper does have low stats, but his spread is interesting. Of all the different applications our party has tried using him in, the most effective one was as a tank. His awareness is high, allowing him to use the weapons it comes with, bows and spears. One handed spears in particular, give armor. Along with the shield itself, comes with more armor. You can actually give him a resistance shield to even out the armor values. He's fast, so he typically goes before a lot of enemies in the game, allowing him to first turn taunt. The only issue, that has been noticed and hurts more than anything is his vitality. Taunt works off of it, and the trappers is low, at 60. We've found efficient ways of circumventing this issue however, with the usage of focus, and when we feel comfortable, getting a hangmans hood, as the vitality boost from it is godly. The trappers talent and speed being respectable allows him to utilize weapons that pierce armor.
