Trap Claws?

[Wikipedian]

Which would be better for a pvp trapsin: trap claws (with benefits of weapon block) or hoto/spirit? Or maybe something else?

Thanks.

I like spirit phase.

2 Bartucs against melees, bowzons, bonenecs.
Silence Phase Blade + Spirit against casters.

What are your goals? Dmg? WB? FCR?

The hoto+spirit can easily get a good fcr for mb, but the c/c leaves plenty of wiggle room in survivability and dmg.

I think it would be personal preference between stun or dmg in your traps.

If you can't get a good +5 ls or fire trap claw then I would stick with the other combination
