on trapsin HC:

Do I need crescent moon still as weapon (mainly talking eg. p6-p8 games), for area clearing such as CS and WSK, or will HOTO become better? eg. hoto + shako with lite facet + infi on merc? or will crescent moon will still be clearly highest dmg and worth it even as combination with infi merc?

I think for broken light immunes cmoon will noticably deal more dmg, for bosses and regular non-immunes it will be close depending on your setup.

That is what I noticed when I tested both on p8 with my trapper. I don't have an inventory full of skillers though so take that into consideration.

and griffon and facet +% lite dmg is actually strong on trapsin (unlike lite sorc) due to skills not giving +% lightning dmg (unlike lightning mastery) and + % lighting actually adds a lot of dmg?

Its strong on trap because:
SorcLightSkillBaseDamage * (1+((Synergies%+Mastery%+Equipment%)/100))

Meanwhile on trapsin:
TrapSkillBaseDamage * (1+((Synergies%+Equipment%)/100))

So when sorc has a light mastery with 500-600% light damage, as well as like 400-500% synergies bonus. Well then those 15% from griffon would make: 1200% go to 1215%. So little change.
