question about light trapper

[ichim]

I read about 5 guides and they are all different from the gear to the skill placement and it got me a little confuse .

My intent is to max the lightning skills (80 pts) and add 1 point in mind blast , in the +resists thingy (fade i think) and in claw block . i will have a few spare points , in what should i put them ? shadowmaster , fade , claw block ? (i will use my assa for pvp )

As for the gear . will dual claws work ? (bartuc + jade talon or bartuc bartuc or whatever ) . Tell me what the best gear would be and maybe some alternatives.

Is there any way to break the lightning immunes ? will one point in a fire trap be sufficient to kill ?

What should i aim for ? damage reduce , resists , life , +skills ?

Well since you're pvp don't really worry about the lightning immunes...
Trapsins typically use HOTO and a good shield. Spirit for skills or something like SS if you need protection against melee chars. Don't use claw block, but if it were me I would probably go for a few extra points in Fade. With enough + skills on equipment your Mind Blast should be fine at 1 point.

Sorry, but you obviously dont know what your talking about.

Having played both claw/claw and hoto/shield trappers I can safely say that a 65% fcr claw/claw is MUCH better than a 102% fcr hoto/shield one.

For starters claw block allows the use of fade, which hoto doesnt due to the cack trapping speeds.

Secondly, 60% Block vs just about any attack is better than 75% Block vs melee and 0% block vs spells. (and tbh, going 75% block with a trapper is a waste, since you WILL have bad life, especially with the stupid str reqs on the spirit/storm)

Thirdly, more points in mb is never a bad thing. The extra duration makes stunning easier and easier.

My current trapper is claw/claw base str. 3.5k life at the moment, and i need to upgrade my charms.

Lets just say she doesnt have any problems with general pubbies, and in Good mannered duels she's fine too, since people generally don't over absorb.
