Defender Traps
I saw the thread title and thought: "Thinking that you have to keep the team alive" is a pretty common one.
But seriously? Defender traps do get superior values.
Where to now?

Plus MasterMind traps have to deal with Detonate which is not the best power. Killing pets is not a good sign.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Either way, we all go boom.

The only significant thing Defender Traps has over Corruptor Traps is:
--6.6% higher -res on Acid Mortar and stronger -tohit and -dmg on Seeker Drones. The higher -rchg on webnade is insignificant.
--3.3% higher base def on FFG, makes softcapping wayyyy easier, and softcapping to all positions a much bigger possibility.
Web Grenade(effectively), Caltrops, Triage Beacon, Poison Trap are the same.
Trip Mine and Time bomb are better on Corrs, though you shouldn't be taking Time Bomb anyways.
So basically better seekers, acid mortar, and easier softcapping for Defenders, better trip mines and more damage from their primary for Corrs.
I'd take the corr any day of the week unless I was specifically going for softcap to everything.

Have 2 traps defenders, and they are both great, but different strokes for different folks.
Anyway, should this be better suited in Archetypes & Powers General Discussion?
"If you want to win you must not lose."
"Easiest way to turn defeat into a victory is to put on the enemy's uniform"
"Better strategic retreat than dishonorable defeat"
No I had a question.

Traps for defenders just feels really mediocre to me compared to mastermind traps and corruptor traps. Since much of traps are psuedo pets, is it possible that defender traps are not superior to the other versions like they should be?
Just curious.
