Hi,

Assuming you are lightning trapper you should use an eth andys, eth fort, eth infinity.

Shadow Warrior Vs. Master?

For a pure MF traps sin, do I even put points into any?
if yes, which one, how many? few or full 20
what do I put points into mind blast?
if yes, how many

what should my build be, pls help

first time making a assassin



I would do master. I like my shadow being able to cast different attacks vs mimicking the ones you only cast. Also 1 skill will do fine because the gear you're using will add +skills which will pump that skill. You should focus on maximizing damage or maybe fade if you REALLY need resistances.

PLEASE any advise will be much appreciated!!

Making a MF trap sin, seen them around. just wondering what they wear and what their build is
I've tried to google it, but it seems no one has made a guide for one, least not one that I can find about traps sin MF
Seen a few for kickers

No idea what points I should be posting into
Pls don't factor in how expensive a gear is. getting gear isn't a problem, just need to know what to get.

This is just for MF'ing all the bosses/keys/choas-baal runs.
atm I have a
shako with ist (should I be using this?)
Enigma mp
anni
torch
cata no spirit yet (if that's what I use with it)
no idea what I use for weapons/shield for mf ( 2 claws?) or weapon/shield,

if weapon/shield, so I use hoto/spirit?
what boots? atm im looking for war travs 50mf like my H-din has, not sure if that's what trap sins use or not
atm I have a 30 mara, again no idea if that is what I should be using
1 soj
1 10fcr 92ar 18str 13 cold 13 mf ring only using these rings cuz I had them laying around. should I be using 2 sojs or 2 pure mf rings
using magefist atm too, just cuz I had one laying around

Help with skill tree
should I max out: shock web-charged bolt sentry-lightning sentry-death sentry? alrdy that's 80 points, not leaving much for anything else

what 2 moves do I mainly use?

PLEASE any advise will be much appreciated!!

Trap laying speed in IAS based and being cold isn't too good for that.

Your merc uses a weapon with big CB. More ias = more CB = more damage. Also more constant leech etc, awesome res, DR%, curse lenght reduction etc via FADE and so on.

Go with eth thresher infinity, eth treachery, and eth vampire gaze with a cham rune in it. Andarials vissage adds 20 ias but that is not enough to hit a higher breakpoint on the ias table for an a2 merc.
With this setup u will get a very high ias bp, a source of cannot be frozen, 34% damage reduction from gaze and fade, a source of life leach and max res in hell from fade.

He doesn't need the DR% and fade already gives reduced freeze effect. The extra CB strikes via faster attack speed might be usefull. Also higher ias = more leech.

Edit: The difference is not big though, so whatever floats your boat I guess.
