What's your fire trap damage?

[Xendjinn]

I'm a light trap Sin, but by the time I reach 99 I'll have about 20 points left over, which I was thinking of investing into a fire trap, or fire blast. I was wondering how much damage are people pulling with level 40+ fire traps? I can try and figure it out without the synergies, jus wondering which is best. Fire Blast is great because of the light trap synergies, but the other 2 are easier to manipulate.

Use this (http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~cbradfor/diablo2/skills.html) to work out what damage you'd be doing.

Uh...That planner is messed up. It claimed my light traps should be 26K at their current level... Thanks, though, I'll try to find another one.

Then you're using it wrongly.

My guess is you're just putting what level each trap is instead of setting them at 20 and using the + to Sin and + to Traps skills to increase the level.

Edit: By doing it that way you'll be adding 40+ levels of synergy for each skill to LS, instead of the realistically capped 20.

The planner is right. Remember, plus skills dont give the synnergy bonus, but on that planner it does. So if u put lvl 46 light sentry, and lvl 46 synnergies, ull get a huge damage. You should put the skill that u use as 46, and all the synnergies at 20.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. My bad! Thank you kindly :) I'll check it out again. Appreciate all your help.

I'm curious, has anyone tried creating a light trap and something else hybrid? Obviously light trap would be the main source of damage, but adding a fire trap, or even a physical damage skill? Just to mix it up a little so I'm not just spamming light sentry.

There has been something of an emergence of WW/Trap hybrids lately, but they tend to be for PvP. A much older hybrid is the kick/trap hybrid, which I am sure illkori or order have a guide for. Great fun little character.

I've played alot of PvM with my trapper and fire blast is very good. 3-4k spammable fire damage. Great secondary for those pesky lightning immune.

I second that! Fireblast is a really great secondary attack and you can also spam it once you lay down your sentries to increase your damage output.
