It's probably a dumb question. It's my first time making a mosaic and the mosaic guide videos are too long and the guides I've looked up don't offer this information. Figure I ask the community for a quick answer. Maybe someone can link me to a good guide or video.

This is for my mosaic veterans out there, but does it matter which hand has which claw?? Thanks for your help!

Hello ,
Questions like this belong in the D2:R Discussion forum rather than general help. Best of luck for your answer(s).

has a really good sin build and walk through

Mosaic Sin
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/0ry10aw9

Gear:
Weapons: 2x Mosaic Claws. Best base is Greater Talons, +3 Phoenix strike. After that skills in this order Claws of Thunder > Blades of Ice.
Helmet: Griffon's Eye 5/-5 Lightning Facet
Armor: Enigma Mage Plate
Belt: Arachnid Mesh
Boots: Shadow Dancer
Gloves: Rare +2MA/20IAS/Stats
Amulet: 2Sin/20Fcr/Res
Ring 1: Raven Frost
Ring 2: BK or SOJ
Switch: CTA+Spirit or (if BO barb) 2x 5-6 Fade Claws

Gear Options:
If 2/20 amulet is out of the budget you can go with maras for the 45fcr BP, or 2/10 + 10fcr ring.
3/20 gloves are an excellent choice if you do not need the resistances.
If you like to hit a faster FCR BP: Magefist, 2x FCR rings, 17FCR amulet and Cham in Griffon's
Boots can be changed for 30frw/tri res if needing or wanting. If doing so, get more 12fhr MA GCs to compensate.
Claws bases can differ. You will reach different FPA BP's on either skill charging up skills or Dragon Talon.

Inventory:
Annihilus
Torch +3 Sin
Crack of the Heavens Sunder
4x MA Lifers
2x MA 12FHR
5x SC Life/5@
3x SC Life/11LR
One MA Lifer can be changed for a Gheeds

Mercenary - Act2 Defensive
Infinity Eth Mancatcher/Thresher/GT/GPA
Chains of Honor COH Eth AP
Cure Eth Corona/Spired/Demonhead/Bone Visage

Skills:
Max: Phoenix Strike > Blades of Ice > Claws of Thunder > Fade
Dragon Talon until 6 kicks (30 points). Some people like keeping this as low as possible. But I like making sure every dies in one hit.
Weapon Block until 60% block (26 points)
Fist of Fire until 75% phys is converted into fire (25 points)
Tiger strike (rest into this)

Stats:
Enough Strength and Dexterity to wear gear.
Rest into Vitality.

Charges:
+2 PS
+3 BoI, CoT, FoF, CS and TS.

Notes:
The game has a bug where life and mana leech will not take effect if these numbers equal to high: Monster Health, Leech and Damage. Fist of fire will negate this issue.
Charges last 15 seconds from last hit. So if wave 3 in Throne Room spawns Hydra you gotta hit a random monster while waiting for wave 4.
The same thing while waiting for Diablo to spawn (here you can use Mind blast on the last seal boss, I prefer just hitting a monster in River of Flame).

Roneye give you the right build
I try for fun with
Enigma
Circlet 2/20 + mf
Amulet fcr mf
2× gt +3 ps
Chance guard
Ring 40 mf
Raven
Wt
Gheed
Light sunder
Torch
Anni
Full 7 Mf sc
Swap cta and eth spirit monarch
Merc infinity
You still have amazing dps with 500+ mf

102 fcr > all other builds. Damage and survivability are absurd already. Speed is just better.

You really should update this to include the 102 fcr setup as the main load out with the ravenfrost one as a budget option or something imo

Thanks for all the replies. I'm currently trying Roneye's build, but I would like to try the 102 fcr build.

Where can I find the guide and gear set up?

take Roneye's but add
trang/magefist
2x fcr ring
minimum 17fcr amulet
cham helm

Normal DT IAS breakpoints = 18 or 46
BoS DT IAS breakpoint = 14
Mosaic has 20 IAS, so what's the purpose of gloves with 20IAS? For the occasional time you encounter Decrepify or Holy Freeze?
