aah. i see.. damn those synergies. since i did put a pt into wof.. i guess ill go and pour every point in. thanks.

No matter how much you pump them, WoF is totally useless PvM and WoI is almost so.

A couple of points in the fire tree won't cripple you - a lightning trapsin doesn't *need* totally maxed out synergies to do good damage. And WoI is not totally useless when your tanks (shadow + merc) are holding an LI monster still for you. But unless you are pure PvP, pump your lightning traps and SM with what you have left.

I must respectfully disagree with the theory fire/light traps can't work. That being said, Woi is bugged so don't place points there. Max Fb, Ds, Wof, Ls works for me in hell. As always, trappers can do well with more +skill items so find and use. I currently have a character with those skills and am doing fine thanks ;) Single points in the whole shadow tree is good except for venom. Shadow Master can take the rest of your points. Also, having a friendly conviction Pala is good ;) Merc is an option but I don't like them. Good luck and have fun :) If you are on uswest non ladder, I can help ya out with a couple of Bartucs if ya like ;)

What is bugged about WoI?

[lextalionis]

Since you are Po, I recommend going straight Lightning Tree. You will still have good Fire Damage from FireBlast. You'll be surprised with it late in the game. Don't forget to use DS too. Eventually CBS can be very good at big slow monsters like Duriel where every CB will hit it.

One point in Wake of Fire won't kill you and it may help with leveling. But eventually you'll need the damage you can do with Lightning. As much as people want to say you can go both or go pure Fire, don't. Not while your still poor. It will take more +Skills and more Trap charms than you'll have.

Its a great build and a lot of fun. As for leveling, I recommend not killing Baal and doing lots of baal runs normal until level 50, Nightmare till 70. The reason for this is so you can find 8 player Baal Minions games.

If you do this, I think you'll have a great time.

Jeger: Q: Why is my WoI barely hitting anything?

A: It's been discovered that the actual missile that causes the damage of WoI is extremely thin, which makes it useless on moving targets, in addition to another bug, which reduces its damage to 1/3 of the listed damage. This effectively makes WoI a mostly useless Trap, unless you’re putting points in it as a synergy to another Trap.
