Raven/FCR ring is the best.
Raven: CBF, AR, stats, mana.
FCR ring: FCR, AR, stats, life, res possibly.

Have you not considered using a non glitched Suwayyah for your regular claw build? 3Venom/3LS Suwayyah sounds nice to me.

Your norm claw setup looks like Runic/Runic..
I'm saying you should try non glitch Suwayyah 3l/s3venom + Runic 3ls/3venom

hi,

it may be a noob question (i'm not common with assassins) but in your guide ( wich i think is just awesome) i don't understand something. Is there an ias breakpoint? or not? i was wondering if i have to soc my fools claw with a 15ias/15 res jwl (runic talon) to hit the ww breakpoint.

my setup will be like this:

fcr circ
3ls 1 weaponblock 1 mindblast chaos suwayyah
2sks 3 ls 1 weaponblock 1 mindblast 2 soc fools claw
eni mp 15ed
arach
trang gloves
raven frost + fcr ring
shadow dancers
2 sks 15+ fcr/life/str/@ res amu (15fcr to hit the 65 fcr bp if i'm usin shako jah vs sins)
cta6 + spirit
torch anni
7x shadow lifers
2x trap lifers ( to get 8.2k+ ls dmg)
5x max/ar/life scs
5x 20/5 scs
prebuff:
2x 6 fade claws
2x venom claws facet + bramble
demon limb

would this be a good setup?
i hit the fcr breakpoints except 105 because i think it's useless 65 is fast enough (that's just my opinion). If my calculations are right i'll have to put like 30 stats in to str MAX. all the rest goes into vita.
i also hit the fhr bp with shadow dancers
but will i break the ww breakpoint?

best regards

no its not worth getting. i used to have it on my old build and did not find it worth the loss of 400 trap damage



yes, widow switch is for dueling again bvcs and stuff when you cant hit them with ww. its not required but ofc it may help. it can also force trappers to not sit in their traps and just camp you.

here is screenshot of skill tree. no i do not recommend the point into mastery. as you have seen here yourself, the whole point of gclaw is to have powerful ww WITHOUT the mastery. because if u put points into mastery, that would only leave you with even weaker trap damage. even for a non gclaw sin build, i would not recommend mastery. its either good ww damage with a gclaw or good traps damage without it. dont try to make up for the lost ww damage by sacrificing your other damage.

oh yes and another question like i posted earlier with my skill layout (10 claw mastery 10 shockweb 20 ls 20 death sentrys 20 charged sentry 20 venom all the rest 1 point) and inventory i can reach +8.2k trap dmg. I also switched 2 shadow lifers vs 2 trap lifers without losing 50% dr from fade. Is it worth than the 10 points in to claw mastery or should I add those 10 skill points into shockweb to max it.

I think with my skill layout I'll have good trap dmg + nice ww boost from claw mastery. Correct me if I'm wrong.

With that amount of claw mastery, I suggest you get a fury claw to use instead of only your fools. It doesn't hit hard enough to make use of the claw mastery. If you want to stay with the fools claw, leave claw mastery at 1 point.

By claw bugging, you automatically hit the WW breakpoint. The only breakpoint you need to worry about is trap laying speed.

To put in context how easily the WW breakpoint is hit, a feral claw alone with just it's base speed is fast enough to hit the highest WW breakpoint.
