If you get a second claw like that just make a sin without claw block.  It's quite overrated imo, trappers will practically always be moving in which case CB doesn't work.


Perhaps, but its still vital to have "i think", although ive never played a trap sin so im probably wrong lol
but now that ive read up a bit more and now im completely unsure if wb reduced durability or if it only does it on 1 claw

claw block is only good vs casters its like amazon avoid. its terrible vs melee/ranged phys.

i dont think trap cast has anything to do with durability i could be wrong. however blade shield (which no one uses anyways) would ruin those very quickly as casting uses durability

edit. i can test for you in hero editor if i have time. i dont typically play assasins

Even vscasters it rarely helps.

The only time you will clock is when standing still (not walking OR running), so it only helps if you're standing in 1 place trying to namelock MB/trap lock, which I don't think it a great strategy for light trappers anyway.

So you figure wb isnt as useful as people make it out to be (in lld)
edit: id still have to stat it to get to shadow warrior : /

It's great on my ghost since it works while kicking and I will often stand still trying to get a mb stunlock, but on light trappers I don't think it helps much.

But wouldnt I also try to go for mb stunlocks standing still if/when I get traps up(once again I dont know anything about sins so correct me if im wrong)
but I think its a moot point anyways since id assume shadow warrior is too good to pass up anyways and to get to it i need wb

well this is true. i mean mb is really effective with high cast rate. with dual claw you cant really stun the opponent effectively so if you sit still too long it could be bad news bears.

However any chance is better than no chance right? in some duels 1 or 2 hits is make or break.

sorcs love to tele stomp so it might prove worthwhile when he is sitting still casting traps.

i'd say 1 base point in w/b is worth it
