C/C Trapper: 10k LS sufficient?

[:1]Hi. I got this trapper and I'm wondering how to balance my skill points. I want maxed MB, but I also want a good FB as I don't like the idea of just having one elemental. I like FB vs many builds also. Wanting maxed MB and good FB leaves me with a weakened LS though.

Currently my LS do 1-10001 damage and my FB do 3377-3982. If I respec to have my LS do 1-11106 my FB drops to 2320-2789.

The FB difference is insane if I respec. I lose so much FB and gain so little LS.

I'm just thinking that 10k LS is a bit low and if I switch to w/s (for max block) my LS drops to 1-7706 and FB drops to 2970-3528. FB is still good, but I feel like my LS will be a joke. I still need a dex circlet to actually preform a max block switch, which is why I really haven't had any experience with this low a LS.

How have you guys build your trappers? Should I stick to this 10k LS build and just ditch my max block stash items? Or up my LS and forget about FB? Or should I ditch max MB?

I'm lvl 96 and I got good items. I won't level anymore as it's a non ladder toon.|||Max MB.



Go with option #1 (10K LS, 3K FB). 10K LS isn't a joke. Usually, people hit 12K, and pure damage gets only 15k.





With maxed MB, that 10K and good FB coverage can easily stun like crazy. Even 10K LS will chew through stunned people, so keeping pressure is going to be much more important than 1K here or there.





On max block side, the same mentality for LS applies. You're going for survival, so there's naturally an offensive draw back. Don't let it get you down. If you can now tank more + keep them stunned, 7K will chew them up just as well.





Hybrid sins tend to hit 6K and lower, yet they kill with LS often. What matters is how you play her and if the max block can tank well (still not recommended, though the safety helps in a pinch).|||Max MB.

Don't feel entirely obligated to synergize LS completely before dumping into FB. However, keep in mind that all the elemental traps synergize FB.

At level 96, it's all the equipment that will determine how many softpoints you get, and assuming you're properly equipped for NL PvP, Your Shadow tree should manage effectively with 20 into MB and the rest 1 point, allowing the rest to be dedicated to the trap tree.

I personally don't see much point in a max block/dr setup on a trap, considering the equipment limitations to hit 102 (105 effectively) fcr c/c. , A trapper has so many tools at her disposal, reliance on tanking is counter-productive to her general strategy. The only melee attack that gave me pause (that could be blocked with a shield) is a barb's ww, and being in the middle of a dance of death is the last place my trapper should be.|||Yeah dual tucs is way cheaper than x2 2/3/2os ls claws which one of them has to have at least 20 ias. But 10k damage is what you will normally have when you use dual tucs so not worth going for 2k more damage imo.|||Quote:

Hybrid sin do 8k damage, atleast mine does. Pretty expensive build though

Btw, the more damage the better. Because the lower the damage, the easier it is to absorb.

I never ran the numbers, but I can tell you from experience it's much harder to nulify high elemental damage.|||Keyword: expensive



Don't even bother considering sorb. 6K or 8K--absorb shuts a hybrid's traps down.|||13-15k on trapper is good enough c/c

and maxblock 10-12k dmg since w/s is nice vs barbs etc

i would go for max mb since when maxed the SM casts its more and when casted by SM it allways hits which is nice when chasing and keeping an opponment stunned for longer..

on hybrids 7-8k is ok going for 10k in most cases unless u have a high budget results in low whirlwind dmg unless u can find high-end claws 2 assa/ias/fools/2xx base ed/ eth/ self rep 1-2 socks
