I don't get it..

..How the hell are you able to keep a 3.6k-4.2k WW and still have 7.8k Traps?!
Or 3k-3.6k @ 8.9k Traps?

If I am using 9x Shadow-SKs, I can get a 3.6k WW at 6.4k Traps.
If I am using 5x Shadow, 4x Trap-SKs, I can get 7.2k Traps, but at the cost of just having a 2.7k-3k WW :(
What's wrong?
And what's better to use?
Any other ideas?

I can also post ScreenShots, if needed, because I desperately need help! :(

that is true but other than the fact that they are "perfect ed" fools claw, i stuck to the build all 100% accurately...

aka i didnt eth/indus the fools and for the chaos that i did eth/indus i didnt give it any +skills... that way it would be pretty realistic compared to east

as for charms i did that too, since the charms on d2pk are 50life, i used 15life scs to make up for the boost, and etc for everything else

THESE STATS ARE POSSIBLE. IT JUST REQUIRED GETTING PERFECT ITEMS

no, most zons don't know how to duel trappers


I would say he's right.

How else do you think Druids do well? Most Trappers don't know how to play.

So, what about my little problem over there?
I really don't know what to do =/

I tried reskilling to get rid of the Fade-precast, which seems to be impossible.

So..
I am usually using 9x Shadow-SKs, I was at 3.6k WW & 6.4k Traps.
I could also use 5x Shadow, 4x Trap-SKs, so I could get to 7.2k Trap, but then my WW will go down to just 3k.

Right now I am using a mix of 7x Shadow, 2x Trap-SKs, and I am at 3.3k WW, 6k Traps (_ALL_ Stats before BO/Precast! Just using base-Venom(+Fade)).

My skill tree is like:
Maxed Shock-Net (? Dunno the english name for that one :x)
Maxed LS
Maxed DS
Combo is at 15 w/ Equipment

Venom is the only maxed skill at the Shadow-Tree, while having level 20 Fade there (+12 from 2x6 Fade Precast-Claws = 32% + 8% from Eni = 40% DR, good enough I guess?), of course 60% Weapon-Block and I also put in some points to Claw-Mastery, to get a little AR-Boost.

But still, I am not really happy, since my DMG seems so low...
My Equipment & Inventory is pretty fine (not to say gz) tho, so I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Also, I am wondering what kind of benefit I will get from a higher MB..?
I am currently not using 1 Point into it, since my Chaos-Claw gives +2, and with Equipment it already is at level 22 this way.

Help is really appreciated!
I'd like to have a damage like on those ScreenShots, about 7k Trap while still having at least 3.5k WW =)
Can also upload screenshots/show Equip/Inventory InGame or anything so I can get helped!

Kind regards,
Sissy

First off, use all shadows GCs.
Second, the way you did your skills is the problem.
To get high LS damage like Bui did, put only 1 point into Claw Mastery. Venom should be the only shadow skill that you max on your hybrid. You have low LS damage because of your spread points into CM and your maxed fade. Keep 1 point in fade. 50 DR is nice, but not always needed. If you really want more DR and high LS damage you'll have to go with suwayyah/runic WSM bugging so you can put a Ber in your helm.

Basically what you want to do for skills is 1 point into all shadow skills but max venom, 1 point into dragon claw for necros, then max LS and the synergies.

Ehm...

Problem is, that I neither put much skills into CM (just for a test like 4) nor did I max Fade =/

If I am using all Shadow-SKs, I usually run around with just maxed Venom/60% Weapon-Block, everything else 1 point; Traps of course maxed out as far as possible.
But even then I just get about 6.5k Traps while my WW is stuck at 3.5k~~

4 points can make the difference.
Also I forgot to point this out in my first post: you don't need to level block up to 60%. 1 point is enough. Bui has 60% in his SS because the claws on D2PK give +2 Weapon Block on each claw.
Also what level are you and what is your gear?

if he can find a claw with +2 wb that gives 60% claw block (otherwise you will be at lvl 24 or something) - i'd put in 2 pts for 1% more... seems worth it to me

as for your problem ph0bic... if u lack ww damage than u need to use stronger claws (aka feral/runic and not GTs) if u need more trap damage than u need to level up more (each lvl = 1 more synergy to traps)

Finding 2 claws that give both LS and WB will be quite difficult on realms.
