if your not gonna pvp with that claw its fine even if you don't reach the 42ias bp on gt, you can still aim for 102fcr you will just be laying trap a lil slower unless you use bos instead of fade

I wouldn’t say ruined, make that your offhand now and get a new main hand with ias to hit trap laying bp(s)

well that was an off-hand claw without ias
now, with 30ias on it you are a 30 out of 42 ias needed for trap laying speed, so you could socket griff with another 15ias jewel I guess

What people normally want is a 40ias GT for main hand, then adding 2x 15ias jewels is making you reach 70ias which is enough to counter the 10% slow from arach.
Playing with 45 ias is also possible, but you'll lose 1 frame per trap whenever you are hit by someone with arach, and this slow lasts for 30s.

Just use an IAS calc if you want to figure out your options:
https://warren1001.github.io/IAS_Calculator/?data=1-0-Greater_Talons-0-0-None-0-Laying_Traps-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0


What classes actually apply the arach slow other than BVC though? I’m currently using a 55ias claw while saving for a GG 40ias 2os and I’m wondering when I actually need to swap to my griffon with the ias jewel in it

Still useable with an ias jewel in a griffon to hit the fastest BP like the other guy said
