Just getting back into D2R and haven't Pvp'd since LoD. I mostly played a Hybrid there so trying to set up the same but want to catch up on how things may have changed since D2R.
Curious if there is a general consensus v all build or mostly swaps vs matchup.

After LS what staff mods are you prioritising for your Chaos? I would assume BS and DF to save points or MB and WB. Blade shield seems universally good but in what matchups are you wanting DF?
I'm not going to be able to afford the super gg claws so was considering multiple chaos options to switch having DF or not.

Are you always running 7FPA trap laying? If no, which matchups do you consider it a must? Obvious v necro/hdin youre using BoS and will have it
With no WSM glitch you seem pretty forced for your fools claw to be RT/GT/FC and still hit 7fpa.

If you have a slower fools claw are you switching Chaos to main hand to have better trap laying?
I know WW has changed too but don't understand the details too clearly but it seems like your main hand is still hitting more often so you would want the higher ar claw in the main hand.
Is putting the chaos main hand for trap laying worth that trade off?

LS synergy changes give us more points now. Is the general approach to max claw mastery and remaining in venom? This might be matchup dependent too where you would prefer to max MB?

Pretty rambely post so ill try to clean it up later and ask some build specific changes.
Sins out there let me know what you think, happy to dm or chat elsewhere if anyone can help clarify.
