Very confused Help please (trapper help)

[solars2ndhalo]

Im remaking my trapper and im planning on going dual claws. and was planning on using griffins and light facets in everything. but recently ive been told that facets dont work /w trap damage nor does griffions. is this true? am i better off just sheal'ing out my claws? also do i bother pumping weapon block? any response would help thanks

Facets don't help with trap damage, to my knowledge. I love it when someone shows me trapper gear that's decked out with facets. Always a good laugh when they realize they just wasted a fortune to be lied to on the character screen. I'm not sure about claw block, but having to spend points in it seems kind've.. iffy, unless you've got massive +skills to all trees. Not had much experience with trappers, so excuse me if any of this is wrong. :)

The above post is correct, lightning facets and griffon (and other things like this) do not affect your traps as the game treats them like minions. Unfortunately it does display on the char screen that your damage is increased which leads to the confusion surrounding it.

regarding claw block, if you are pvp this is essential as no block means you're dead, also claw block can block fireballs and FoH which is always handy.

I've got tired of trying to explain this in games "STFU N00b, i pwn u" is the usual response.

Your best bet with facets is a charges strike zon, their unstoppable, and with all those items you mentioned, sweet!

Both %skill dmg aswell as -%resist don't work for traps. The lying stat screen tells you different though. But it's lying.:P

Shael would prolly only help you if you're going with Fade. And also , just use Shaels in your primary claw (the one you equiped first). Since traps are only cast with that claw.

Weapon block is a must , having no block at all means dead bodies everywhere. And I don't mean your oponent's bodies. :P
