I've got a lvl 83 dtalon/lsentry on east nl (mostly pvm though i've collected a couple of ears here and there) and i'm having a hard time deciding on what to do about a couple points...

first:
I have an open weapon switch, and not sure what to put in there. right now I have naj's puzzler for the teleport, as i didnt want to waste a point in dflight. I was thinking about a good jav and shield in case i need to range, but my sentry does over 4 k so i thought that'd be enough (except for tough lite immunes?)

second:
my dtalon after +skills is at 36, so I have seven kicks. I heard that's too much for pvp, but I don't think it's that slow for pvm. If i do want to take off a lvl on the dtalon though...i'm not sure where i would do it, as i dont have any martial gc's. thoughts?

my gear:
guillame's with 40ed/15ias jewel
+2 ma amulet w/30 str/res all (a very lucky gamble)
coh
bartuc's socketed with ber (for cb)
bartuc's socketed with 5/5 lite facet
crafted +2 ma gloves w/ 9%cb/ 3%ll
carrion
raven
ik belt
s dancers

EDIT: oh and third:
i need to unsocket the guillame's (i acquired it with the jewel already in it) as the %ed im pretty sure doesnt transfer to kicks, and i dont need the additional IAS. so my expensive option is a ber for %dr, and my cheaper ones are a pruby for life, and....??? i dunno what else

There are a lot of guides you should read first.

Especially the ones that tell you facets don't work with traps.

i've read a dozen or so guides, and not one has said that...(of course now that i think of it, not one has suggested using a facet, either..)

but how come when i switch out the bartucs with the facet with my other bartucs that doesnt have a facet, my lsentry damage goes from 3900 to 3714? is the stat page telling me one thing but the gameplay doing something else? i'd have thought if that was the case, blizzard would be on top of that and would fix it.

also, could you be a little more specific as to what guides I should read? what should I be looking for?

The Screen says so, but since they're minions, they don't get a bonus. Shock Web and FireBlast do however. The screen lies, much like how Grief's dmg isn't shown :)

Nice Kick/Trap guide (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=572795)

well maybe i can make use of shock web later, so maybe it wont be a total loss...

do you know if the -5% enemy resists still works?

No, facets (any mod) will not work....except maybe dying :P

Same with Griffons.
