I play a ranger type as my highest level character. I mainly only use EX traps if I'm in a real Jam. And this is pretty much the same kind of setting I used since I played Guntecher. I use the same mantra. "When the going gets tough. The tough get to trappin' ".
If I'm having an easier time, and/or not as stressed for time against certain specific large foes, I may hardly use any traps on the mission. There are plenty of times the regular traps may have use, and I know I can sometimes forget to use them there.
Still, my main damage comes from combos, using good multi-mob hitting devices when applicable, and a good array of weapons including at least 1 utilized for PP regeneration and a different form of attack outside of bullets. I'm also a lover of things that control the mobs, so I do like inflicting status effects. I even have that attribute configured on my character to raise the chance of SEs.
I barely even touched Vanguard as my lvl 70, but I did make a lvl 23 Vanguard, and stopped using him.
In any case, I just play the way I normally do: Shifta and Deband, timing attacks and PA's, block, dodge, resta spam, mates when I need them and the occasional gun.
Traps? Never needed them, although the Shifta and Deband buffing takes some time out of my over all play, but still it helps when I fail to time my perfect blocks right. That extra 10 damage off from blocking with dual hand weapons saved me countless times.
