Trapper: Does he need a buff?

[preadatordetector]

When I was looking for a class to pick (there's so many) I chose Trapper at first because I thought he would be cool.

Guess what, I did a reroll.

Anyways, I was thinking if Trapper could use a buff somehow that would make him more... viable. He's not that good late in the game because everyone would be able to outperform him in his farming role due to them having better stats. So, I would like to start a discussion about the class.

Maybe a second passive ability where detrimental status effects are more powerful? Or a specialization in specific types of magic?

Honestly though people say that they could max out their resource gathering skills very early in the game, making Trapper useless. I just thought that making him more powerful with status effects could help the class out more.

It's just that I like the resource gathering ideas that Trapper has, it's just that I don't like the fact that the Trapper isn't considerably strong at farming compared to classes that can deal with combat more effectively like the Ranger or Regener. Battles take way too long and are way too risky with the class, which negates whatever resource gathering benefits he gets.

I just want something that would make Trapper able to get resources at the speed at which he should be able to do. Even something like buffing his experience gains with magic to a 5% bonus instead of his current -9% penalty. In exchange he could have a defense penalty of -9%, since the Trapper's equipment is likely very heavy and that should hamper agility.
