Why don't trappers use shadow dancers?

[lumpor]

I understand why kickers don't use them. Gores have mods which beat +skills any day. But what about trappers? Why don't they use shadow leggys?

[BAMFSpecialOps]

Lets see, a little dex/fhr on shadows, or +life from wwalks, str/vit, or nice rares. Not to mention the high str req. Nothing jumps out on them for a trapper, the dex isn't needed often with C/C set ups using gt's low reqs, C/S is usually spirit for 102 fcr, and 25 dex for max block with stormshield isn't a deal maker to put the extra str in to wear them.

What about the main attraction, being that they're the only boots that give + to a whole skill tree, and a potential of 2 points to boot. Even though +to traps would've been better +skills are a very good mod for being on an un-valuable equipment spot like boots

Shadow dis. skills arn't highly used by a trapper, you have to remember that a trapper will toss on a lot of +skill gear, the str req isn't worth the life lost for the measly +2 shadow skills.

Shadow dancers have zero to offer a trapper. The only assassins that would use shadow dancers are kickers as they offer the highest damage, but I think even shadow dancers are outclassed by up'd gore riders, same damage as shadow dancers, but with much juicier mods.

dancers are a good choice for c\c trappers if they have enough res without the boots. the +2 shadow is useful for hitting the lvl 17 shadow threshold, clawblock, mb, and fade.

most trappers that use well socketed claws (7fhr/15res jewels) will use dancers.

Hybrid 'sins use SDancers as well.

i use dancers on all my sin builds. like tienje said, resists will be no problem unless you are playing on a budget, which i am not, so i gladly take the mdos that dancers offer.

apart from that, i have always found ways to use kicks sensefully in my dueling style which is a big plus for dancers as well.

[NumtyDoo]

I see Tienje's point, they could be useful if you already had maxed resists without boots.
Hybrid 'sins use SDancers as well. I would use up'd gores over Sdancers on a hybrid, the mods on gores are just too good to pass up on a kicker.
