Poor kicker equipment...

[BlueOctoberFan]

I have a couple of questions on building a kicker, as I've made some, and they're fun, but I'm poor and can't afford/find most of the godly stuff that people recommend using.

1. If I use two "strength" claws, will the CB add together, or will it only take from the first claw?

2. How well do fire traps work for holding general monsters in stun lock? I've messed around with DS before, but never tried fire traps for anything, so I don't know how effective they are at anything.

1) No. Only the mods from the "main-hand" work. Go with a Black flail instead.

2) Not well. WoF is for PvP. Death Sentry explodes corpses, which ups your killing speed nicely.
