Trapsin + Li, how to deal?

[sorcees]

I am building my first trapsin, and i am impressed from LS and DS.
Now i entered hell, with a lot of Li, and i do have some problems in Act1 already (lvl 73).
What is best, MB + FB or MB + good merc (A2 might or holy freeze, reapers toll)?
Or are there other suggestions, maybe SW?

I am using 2x bartucs, viper, shako, treks, IAS gloves+res, 3 traps amu, bahamut rings, 2 GC trap.

Try using high level Shadow + Strong Merc + a bit of Fireblast, or just lure them near some dead bodies and let DS take care of it.

Also try putting one pint only in Blade Fury (you don't need more) and have a crushing blow weapon on switch.

I also put 20 points in fireblast amazing how it scales!

So you have lS, DS, Fire Blast and a very good physical attack.

I also had a Holy Freeze merc as well for cold. I finished the game with no deaths at lvel 82 with modest equipement - my Merc had rattle cage, kelpie snare and vampire gaze.

Also CB on your Merc will help.

Doesn't anyone use WoI anymore?? Seems like it would do well as a backup if you drop a few synergy points into it, plus it already gets some synergy from DS..

Only problem with wake of inferno is the very thin firing line, it has great range and damage but its firing line is very thin. This means its very hard for it to hit a target thats walking past it (not directly towards/into it).
Plus fire blast can just be thrown so fast with the right weapon/ias and it has a circular radius making it better for clumped groups.

so fire blast is the way to go, i suppose.
i have read the guide about the furysin, it will be my next project.
thx all.

you got 3 options:
1) fire blast
2)shadow master
3)d.talon

now u use 2x bartucs, i would spend points on d.talon and go in for a kick. i like to be in an action:)

if you want to be safe, go for fire blast. awesome for a pure trapper. great skill to use vs light immune monsters. and you would have a merc against those light immune and fire immune monsters to kill, which are very rare to find anyhow.

shadow master well in game play i hate to use them, they slow you down a lot as they convert the monsters.
i like to kill fast and quick, after all we are assassins :)
