Persistent Traps ...

I don't mind the traps on certain things and places, but we are finding if we are sans Bard or Rogue with trap skills, even if you tak ethe damage from a trap, it barrs you from keeping on going.
Say like I found a chest in the Undead area near Orcgate ( near where you get the ring for the lady in Archibald's Royale ) , the chest is trapped and locked ... you can unlock option it, it triggers a trap, but still can't open it because the trap auto-replaces/resets.
Now a chest is probably no big deal ...
But in the epicy areas we are finding some doors, like the one to the inner sanctum for the harp of Winter quest , the door after you get the stone, is trapped and locked. Unlocking makes the trap hit you , but it auto resets as well, making to where you cannot go on if you have no skills/ability in trap springing. It's pretty much blocking access to advance ,to all classes not trap proficient.
I don't mind getting hit by the traps, but don't like having to wait on a rogue to play, be of the same level range, just to get to areas to finish up quest and such. We simply do not have the player base to support having all classes available all the time.
My suggestion would be to have the resetting traps, be one shot for a set amount of time, say a minute or two , and then replace/reset itself ... that way, if it's triggered, it goes away ( but does it's damage ) , and doors can be used/unlocked in that small window ... and still keeps traps there for the rogues and bards to mess with.
