- Proposed change 1: Faster Trap Setting
Cutting the set time in half would still require a full round in combat, this could however allow players outside combat to be a bit more agile around setting traps and make their use in non PvP and non combat a bit more fun as you could set a trap for fights that are about to start even with a party a lot of the time and not just be bent over for a lifetime.
This could scale based on either hard skill or soft skill and the higher the skill the faster non combat setting could be if mechanically possible. - Proposed change 2: Stealth Trap Setting
Perhaps implementing some way for trap users to remain hidden if the trap doesn't immediately do damage to an enemy, this would prevent gimmicky trap laying from stealth and harassing but would allow trappers to carefully set traps near or around enemies before attacking them with a ranged weapon and drawing them through the traps. It could also add another element of trap use to combat situations for group PvP by allowing rogues to strategize while "negotiation" is happening leading to more danger in the field of battle and some unique methods of area denial for rogues without giving their presence away when they put 1 trap down.
This could be a chance that increases as Use Trap is invested in, starting out only moderately possible and getting better.

Use Trap Skill Improvement Idea
I love the recently posted idea for Use Trap specific to the rogue feat Skill Mastery but I feel the skill is still a bit lackluster when it comes to other classes who get it like Ranger I believe part of that is the glaring issues with setting traps to begin with namely that they take bloody forever to actually put down (like aggravatingly long) making it just faster to hit the enemies with a sword in PvE anyway and you are always removed from stealth when you set a trap. So I propose the two following ideas to make heavy investment in use trap more fun to work with in PvE while from what I can tell not breaking the use of traps in combat.

Re: Use Trap Skill Improvement Idea
Probably not possible due to hard coding, but in principle this (esp the from stealth) sounds reasonable. Moving to approved, but don't get your hopes up.
If someone picks this up and finds it is defintivly impossible, please let me know and I'll move this to denied.

This too shall pass.
