Trap-assassin question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hi,
I'm starting my first Trapassassin on USEast HCL. As i want to put as
many points into Vit i need to know, how much str/dex do i need to use a
+3 claw? In other words what is the lowest claw that can have +3 Traps?
Where should i look for that claw?

BTW Is this build viable in Hell?

Max Death Sentry
Max Lightning Sentry
Max Fire Blast
Max Shadow Master
1 in every other Shadow Discipline except Venom

Any suggestions? Am i missing something very usefull?

Thanks in advance
Sascha Hoemig

Welcome to USEast HCL, come join out party I sold all my +3 claws,
but I believe I still have +2 claws and/or +shadow claws, as well as
loads of assassin amulets/circlets. Message *bingain on b.net or call
1-900-Bing-kol if interested.

Lowest str/dex claw I had seen with +3 trap skills was 46/46 (I think
it's a Blade Talons with -req mod). However if you are looking
forward to be godly, ie, +3 trap/+3LS/+3$$$ claw, lowest requirement
will be Greater Claw with 76/76 requirement.

If you want to max out damage, what you can do is to aim at casting a
slvl 17 Shadow with dual +3 shadow claws on switch (actually you
should also cast Fade with alt claws.)

I recommend Blade Talons. 50 str/dex, speed class is -20 (trap laying
speed depends on IAS). Yes, +3 can be on Blade Talons. I know this
because my BF Assassins has those on weapon switch.

One of the few builds that can solo Hell in 1.10. Not enough fire power
for big parties, but lots of fun for solo play.

Instead of maxing SM, just enough points to be able to cast her at slvl
17 are enough. That's when she gets the best equipment. The saved points
can go into LS synergies (Shock Web, Charged Bolt sentry).

With my trappers, I always like to have one point in Blade Fury, and the
Tan Do Li Ga on weapon switch for boss fights. 50% slow down makes
battles with Diablo and especially Baal a lot easier.

In HC, a few points in Weapon Block (presumed you go for claw/claw mode)
are a good investment. 10 points after equipment give 50% chance to
block without any investment in dex. Keep in mind that WB can block
elemental attacks (like the lightning attacks of Gloams) that can't be
blocked with a shield.

Oh and you should really try to bring up the resists in Hell to a level
that allows you to use Burst of Speed instead of Fade. Running around
faster is more fun, and you can throw fire bombs a lot faster this way .
