Trap
From Guild Wars Wiki
Skill type. Trap is a skill type that is unique to the ranger profession. Traps are characteristically planted on the ground, and its effects will trigger if a foe walks over it.
A Trap is easily interruptible. If someone is hit with an attack while activating the trap, that target becomes interrupted, and the skill begins recharging.
Except for Healing Spring, a trap always lasts for 90 seconds, and will automatically trigger themselves once that time has passed. When this happens, they can still damage targets that are near the trap. Most traps cause a small amount of damage and can inflict conditions towards nearby foes that trigger that trap.
Traps mostly fall under the Wilderness Survival attribute, except for Viper's Nest (Beast Mastery), Black Powder Mine (Deldrimor rank) and Weakness Trap (Ebon Vanguard rank).
The Trap Healing Spring is the only trap that affects allies, and will always trigger as soon as the trap has been set, as the target activating the skill is always in range.
