Hey guys, I just got a couple nice claws and I was wondering if anyone knew what to put inside them. Also what’s is the best geared build for a trap sin?
The claw is a GT 2os 2sin 30ias 3ls w/ a couple other skill mods on the main side it currently has a 15ias / 15 @ white jewel in it but not sure what to put in second a lot. 45ias on a main hand is all you need and I been hearing mixed things about 5/5 facets working and not working on your trap due to traps being a minion . Just wanted to know what is the best other jewel to put inside . Also have another GT for my off hand a 3trap 3ls 2 fade 2os , any ideal what to socket it with to make it work the best for me? Also keeping in mind fcr and fhr breakpoints , any ideal on gear that could be useful) so far I have 9x 45 monster lifers 20/20 torch 20/20/10 anni and the 2 claws, need some help with the rest TY, first person to give me all the info I need correctly I will send 100fg Ty

Pvm d2r yes currently ladder

Disclaimer: I know just enough about d2 to get in trouble. I’m shooting my shot tho!!! and maybe it’s a starting point. Maybe it’s pretty accurate



In the last patch they made -%enemy light resist work for traps. I’d put 3x 5/5 facets in your claws (unless you wanna boost res).


Fcr breakpoints
27%. 12 frames
42
65
102%. 10 frames

Fhr breakpoints
20%. 8 frames
32
52
86%. 5 frames

Hat: griffins eye
Armor: enigma
Ammy: maras or 2sin w/ 17-20%fcr (if going for 10 frames fcr)
Belt: arachs
Ring: soj or fcr ring (if going for 102%fcr)
Ring: soj or fcr ring (if going for 10 frames fcr)
Weapons: you’ve got em
Gloves: magefists
Boots: rare

The thing about that claw trick with the ias is you can’t use weapon swap or you’ll have to take off both claws every time you switch weapons (or at least the one offhand claw) to make laying traps faster again. I THINK THIS IS ACCURATE.


Going with burst of speed:

If you go with the max fcr you’ll have 35 all res in hell, if you use 10x 5@scs but that doesn’t count any res you’d get off your rares/crafted (boots, rings, ammy)

If you go with 65fcr, and the 10x 5@scs, you’ll be at 65 all res without counting your boots and you’ll do a lot more damage.

Fhr only comes into play if you take a big hit (8% or more of your health?). For pvm I tend to not worry about this very much. Ofc you’ll use claw block so I’d try to get fhr on my boots or on some of those res all small charms.

Good luck, homie! Nice claws

Exactly what I needed to know thanks sending 100 ty for the time

1) yes facets now work with traps

2) for the same reason, since this change the new best option for pvm is now Cmoon + spirit.
-res from items is applied at 100% effectiveness, while conviction from your infinity merc is only -17res vs immunes.
Dual claw is a pvp setup, unless you are doing both, but perfect dual claws cost 500x more than cmoon/spirit for the same strenght in pvm.

3) trapper is not like most casters who dont need “cant be frozen” cuz you actually attack to lay traps. Best option is cham in griff.
Griff was previously only used for the higher fcr to make it possible to reach your fcr breakpoints, but now its finally really good cuz it boost trap dmg a lot (and traps require less synergies)

4) I wouldnt use BoS, fade is just too good… easy to get 50% dr now. Using spirit you can already easily reach 65/102fcr, so gloves can be 20ias/res/stats or even crafted CB% if you want to put a point in dTalon for faster boss killing and even able to do ubers with minimal gear swap.
