Is a Cresent moon better than a spirit sword for Light trap sin?

Yes Cresent Moon in a PB for fast trap speed

136 dext seems like alot for a PB specially since you'll probly have a spirit shield which is 156 str. Is there a diff base that could work? Specially early ladder when no anni or torch that's so much stats?

3os crystal swords but their base WSM is much lower is all.

CMoon can be made in axes, swords, and polearms.

That's what I was thinking. Might have to have 20ias gloves or something to compensate I dunno what would be optimal for a budget crystal sword crescent build would look like

Maybe a 3 socket War Spike would be the next best choice. Not as fast as a PB, but only 54 Dex required.

ik gloves plus boots is a VERY good combo to reach 45ias and to gain 40stats // 44 life // 40frw // 25mf, mb is time for IK to shrine?

at lvl 99 you have to invest 2 hard points in str and 56dex (considering perf anni/torch) and that's before any affix to dex for ammy/ringo: u till have over 3.3k hp with plain trap skillers & fade in pvm


the open socket of griffon can be also chammed at this point, opening 1 ring slot for skiller over raven (sweet)


personal ez pz pvm end game:

cmoon
griffon (cham)
2/15 ammy
1x fcr // mana ringo
1x soj
arach
spirit


Prayer Emilio with ecoh/infinity/cure

I'm not playing this ladder but it seems very sweet indeed:

till u have a 15fcr ammy just give up one fcr break point and slap a mara // 2nd skiller ring over the extra fcr stuff

Long Sword or Military Pick are the next best crescent moon bases attack speed wise compared to Phaseblade and only need 39/33 dex, so no investment needed with Anni/Torch
Would be 2 frames slower than Phaseblade though while using Fade (1 frame slower when using BoS and same speed with BoS + 20% attack speed somewhere)

In a BiS Setup, you can also argue wearing Infinity Brandistock yourself, which would only be 1 frame slower than Phaseblade with fade and same speed with BoS

Thanks for the resposnes everyone, this is very insightful!

for pvm I suggest the PB. trapsin is very defensive anyways, so you don't need the stat points to vita and can go full fade
