View Full Version : Best pvp assassins?
Not sure what to do.. or possibly whats best for PvM and PvP both if it even exists?
Trapsins, WW sins, kickers, and DClaw sins are the builds that can do both. As for best... that's beyond my experience.
For a trapper, what should I do for strength and dex, it seems dex is ually max block but since itl be two claws should I just do Dex as high as equip? And since I am starting fresh, I don't KNOW my future equipment, so whats a good average STR and Dex value for me to hit before I put the rest in vit if I dont know what gear ill use

if i were in your shoes i'd probably save some stat points for a rainy day after you get to 79 str (for bartucs if you can find/trade for them) just in case.
I'm making, or made depending on how you look at it, a trapper who is lvl 77 and in A3 Hell. She's a whole lot of fun, I mean tons of fun. As for stat points, I have enough STR and DEX to equip dual bartucs. Bartucs give something like +20 STR and +15 DEX so when both are equipped I have enough STR and DEX to wear basically any equiptment. As soon as I could wear bartucs I put every last point into Vitality. Right now I have something like 1.3k without items.
I made the trapper because A) Looked fun and B) My sorc got owned by one in a duels game so I thought they were awesome for PvP. Honestly, I can't duel worth $hit. Really, I try to use MindBlast and run around and lay traps but I get destroyed by other chars. Don't get me wrong, I;ll win sometimes, but without the teleporting kick (Dragon Tail I think) I can't get close to zons or necros or Fist of Heavens Pallys. I can handle some barbs, well I can handle them until they put on lightning absorb equiptment. Thats the thing about PvP Trappers. The other chars can always put on lightning absorb or +lightning resist equiptment and you are basically s.o.l. It is really hard to use 2 different element traps, Wake of Inferno and Lightning Sentry and have a decent build.
For PvM, I love my trapper. She stinks against Lightning Immune but after making a pure fire sorc it doesn't really bother me all that much. In areas without lightning immunes, I can only think of Arcane right now, she rules. I've cleared arcane in hell in a 4 player game. This was a huge feat for me, maybe not for others but I was proud.
You don't really need elite equiptment to make a trapper. Bartuc's is pretty easy to get, and they arn't even the best claws out there. You can buy +3 Trap skills and +3 lightning sentry claws from dealers, I think Larzuk but I don't know.
My recommendation? Make a trapper, they are tons of fun.

Oh and in my opinion, make ur trapper LS. DS has bad dmg, WoI SUKS (dont let it fool you, its a bugged skill that can basically only hit monsters if they're standing still, the graphics dont show how bad it is). CBS could be sweet also...
but yeah my dueling experience is just like the guy before me. Except I have enigma so I can run more before I die lol.
k, I already started a LS trapper, so could you help me with this problem: http://forums.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=226192
