Another difference is they have 2 blocks instead of one, which is good if they're blocking weaklings they can kill quick, but it means even more dodging RNG (twice the incoming attacks = twice as much dodging required) and while they do have a bit more HP and Defense than rogues of equal rarity, survivability can be sketchy.

Thanks for the input I guess i'll just stick to my current team for now.

Yes indeed, but it's more about not being specific enough, the traps do true dmg, the ranger + skill doesn't.
