My purposes are PVM - Hardcore.

I'm trying to go full Trap, not ghost or martial arts.

And I'd like to know if light/fire can be good. Can I have 5 traps of each?

Or maybe light / physical traps?



Fire blast does a lot, especially when you’re also maxing it’s synergies. Bui is right on the skills. Lightning sentry for most things, death sentry for corpse explosion (CE does 50% fire and 50% physical) and fire blast for light immunes.

Yes, you’ll run into some fire/light immunes, but those are fairly uncommon and almost always a super unique.

There was nothing wrong with mind blast or fhr or wsf (feature, not a glitch)


Wsg was a bug, that why there was so much effort to kill many of its abuses like casting in town and swap channeling molten Boulder/meteor for… nefarious purposes.

Literally just needed to give it a 1 to 1.5 second cooldown. Anything could escape the actual MB lock itself, but other sources to stun could still effect the targets and the rest of PvP skills would be unaffected.

Traps skills are all ias based. Sentinel is on a cooldown (but ias based) fury is always 6 frames, nothing can speed it up or slow it down and shield is Fcr based.

Because I disagree with you on wsg being important and fundamental to the game to feel any sense of enjoyment? At least that’s how devastated you made yourself sound about the topic Lol

That’s adorable, but you’ve got some main character syndrome going on. You’re not the only person who loves this game.

Yes. Corpse explosion
Removing it as a synergy to light sentry did nothing for pvm. It shows you how severely incompetent blizzard is, as they tried to give a trapper more skill points to use in pvm.
You still max death sentry.


It shows clearly that they haven't played the game. Even one of the most famous and basic chars, the trap assa. I think they did something similar with the java.

Yep. It’s like they just read random comments and throw them into a hat. And pull one out and say, let’s do that.

He’s not wrong about maxing DS in PvM, but I think it was done for PvP purposes. A little “sorry” after killing mindblast in PvP.


Assa would need 20-30k trap damage as compansation to even be viable as a trapsin when stun is like today xD
