Poison Trap Sin Idea

[bcsean]

So I've been playing this for a long time. Honestly, in all the time I've played, I've never really made a sin.

Recently a trap sin rushed me through hell and just rocked it out. I loved it. So I made one myself. The thing is that I like to be able to solo in hell, and an all lightning sin is great until you get some lightning immunes in the game. So I tried putting some points into her fire traps... and... they suck.

So then I started over. This is my new idea and I'd like to know what you all think.

Max claw mastery (for ED and AR)
Max Venom (for LI's)
Max Lit Sentry and any other lit traps I can
1 pt to blade furry (keeping me out of the mess)
whatever I can spare to Shadow master as a meat shield

I'm debating if I should max shock web, or death sentry first. I'm limited to only 5 traps at a time, and death sentry's damage isn't good, but it has corpse explosion (a bit toned down, but it's there) while shock web gives just as much synergy to lit sentry as does shock web. Should I just put one pt to death sentry, and then max shock web and just toss it in the fray every now and then? let me know what you think.

I figure that with this build I'll to decent physical damage with a good claw, great, fast poison damage, and even better lightning damage, leaving no one enemy not at my mercy. That's the way I like it. :thumbup:

The standard way to deal with LI's on a trapper is to max out Fire Blast.
20 Fire Blast
20 Charged Bolt Sentry(usually maxed last)
20 Lighting Sentry
20 Death Sentry

You might be better off with a Kick/Trapper if you are wanting to Melee LI's, with Dtalon you can apply crushing blow very quickly and drop their life. This build would work, but you killing speed throughout the game is going to be rather slow.

Thanks for your idea. Will fire blast be effective in hell? I know that most every trap is a synergy for it, but will it? Plus blade furry with venom is faster than throwing those long-arched bombs. Plus it's physical damage AND poison. There are monsters immune to fire and lightning, but nothing is immune to lightning, physical, and poison.

I have an Infinity waiting for her merc when she gets to the right level.

Also, thanks for the idea with crushing blow, I'll have to try and get some of that on my equip. I had neglected it.

Well with Infinity there will not be many LI's left. FB can actually do some really nice damage and with your merc/shadow in melee range and you outside of it you can get a nice 'hail' of bombs.
