I've never made a trapper, but the good ones I've dueled either wear Arach or a crafted belt with FCR/FHR/Life/Str/Resists.

You want to have at least 103 fcr with your gear, this allows you to keep stunlocks against most people with low FHR.
If you are ladder, I reccomend Spirit shield. It has much better mods than lidless and since you have enough STR for it you can also easily swap out for a Stormshield against charge paladins with a lot of FHR (Charge+FHR is very effective at escaping mindblast)
i use hoto, chaos armor, and sanc shield, shako, mara,s soj (depending on who i face), boots with +dex and str (i got some rare boots), and gloves with ias/fastcase depending what you are.
i maxed all synergies and ls, added one to MIND blast and 1 to Burst of speed. dont know what to do with rest, i dont have a shadow warrior "yet".
thx dudes.
can someone tell me EXACTLY what they would have for a trappassin plz?
and plz set it out like i did or a way that i can understand it.
thx

I used to have a trapper I pvp:ed with. Haven't played in a year, so I'm a bit rusty when it comes to equipment, but what I can remember is:
One +2 *** skill +3 light sentry claw and one that gave +2 of each. That's +9 to your light sentry from claws only.
On switch, I kept a wizardspike and um'd Lidless wall, to keep my resists and cast rate up.
When deploying traps I used the claws, and then quickly switched to the wizzy/lidless for resists and spamming mindblast.
Had a bunch of different equip depening on who I was fighting, but tgods belt is nice against light, infernostride boots for fire, magefists for cast rate...
Had anni and... 7 or 8 trapskiller. Did 9k with light sentry. And was a real caster-killer, cause of the massive resists. FoH-pallys couldn't touch me neither, cause even with their lower resists aura, I still had 90 light resist.
I didn't use fade neither, I used burst of speed most of the time. With burst of speed, and really heavy resists, you're a real surviver, and with 9k damage traps you're a real killer. Only had trouble with enigma bonecasters.
Anyway - my point here is to beef up resists, and keep claws for deploying traps, and quickly switching to resist/cast rate setup when the traps are in place.
thx mon. but thats a bit of my problem... in duels in hell my resists are super low with my fire res down to 6!
and my inv is almost completly full of res charms... its so damn annoying
i fixed it now!
here we are:
Helm: Shako (1 clean socket)
Armor: Enigma (dusk shroud)
Weapons 1: x2 +3 trap claws (1 with a lit facet 5/5 and 1 with 1 clean socket
Weapons 2: Hoto (36 res) and Spirit (monorach)
Belt: Arachnids
Boots: Sandstorm Treks
Gloves: Laying of Hands
Rings: SoJ and Ravenfrost
Ammy: +3 traps with 68 life
Charms:
5 G'cs ( 2 cold 1 psn and 2 lightning)
11 Sc's (mostly lightning and a few cold and fire)
3 Lc's (all cold)
No trapper skillers :(
this build so far is absolutly wonderful... with 8k dmg and very fast running speed combined with (now) high resists and a fair bit of def... its a force to be reckoned with :D
i was thinking of getting another lit facet but i read on a guide somewhere that a nice IAS, FHR, with life jewel might be nice... how much do these cost???
