Im making an anti-mage kicksin...and I have some tough gear choices before me.

I have to choose between trang gloves and dracs, and gore riders and shadow dancers.

trang gloves add poison damage and 30% cold resist (very nice vs cold sorcs) while dracs offer strength to boost your damage, a hefty amount of open wounds, and life leech.

Shadow dancers add dex to boost your damage and AR, and +2 shadow skills which is very useful. Gore riders add a low chance of open wounds...and thats about all that I can think that is good about them.

I will be using a lionheart mainly, but I do have duress, even though I dont see any reason for using duress as an anti-mage. If anyone that has experimented with these different setups can give me some insight, that would be great.

Frankly, I see no reason to use Gores when you could go with Shadows...

I think I'd personally favour TO over Draculs, but will leave that to the more experienced people to discuss :D

What weapon will you be using? Dracs is nice for OW, but that's about it. The STR is minimal compared to tons more Poison damage.

Trang's and Dancers all the way!

I think Gores are nice, but best combined with other gear that helps crank up your chances of open wounds/crushing blow/deadly strike. Works great in PvM even without that stuff.

-stopped in midposting to make a correction. Apologies if that resulted in a double post.

Regarding C/C PvM...would TO still be better than Drac's on a build with maxed Venom?

Is the Lifetap on Drac's even worth it?

For PvM - absolutely... It's a life saver.

Particularly since AR on Cobra Strike is severaly lacking imo.
