3) I'd freeze trap twice in a row, get both of his charges down, & next time he's on you scatter + trinket. Honestly, he shoudl be dead by the 3rd freeze trap. GL

1) I can start trying to beat him trap CD not beeing up after I can beat him with my traps ready. I don´t think I should make the fight even harder if I don´t manage to win as it is.
2) Of course Aimed Shot causes more damage than Steady Shot but you can´t really compare Aimed with Steady because Aimed resets Auto and Steady does not. From a pure theorycraft point of view Steady + Auto surpasses the damage of Aimed at a certain amount of RAP while beeing cheaper and taking only 1.5 seconds to cast. Only Problem beeing the 0.5 seconds between Steady and Auto.
3) The problem with multiple Freezing Traps as I see it is, that even the first one only stays for 12 seconds. All following traps are subject to DR and stay even shorter. In my experience I could hardly even get in range when after Intercept Stun let alone deal damage before the trap is gone. I tried this tactic in my first few duels and I might try it again, but it´s not really as helpful as it used to be when traps could potentially freeze opponents for up to 20 seconds. Besides - if I followed your advice and tried without trap CD up this wouldn´t be an option at all.
Don´t get me wrong, I really appreciate your advice, but this always sounds so easy in theory and rarely works in practice.
