With traps now able to benefit from -res are they in a better place? I know the delay on traps setting up but how are they now with the -res?

The -res change definitely buffed traps and made them scale much better with gear.
They’re now more competitive in PvE, but Javazon is still faster for farming.
In PvP, trapsin is far stronger.

PvE farming
Javazon wins.
Lightning Fury is simply absurd for:
cows
chaos
dense maps
Clear speed is usually faster than traps.

Javazon (Lightning Fury / Charged Strike)
Generally considered top tier PvE.
Pros
Insane screen-wide clear
One of the fastest cow farmers
Huge burst vs bosses (Charged Strike)
Cons
Mana heavy
Needs gear to shine

Trapsin
More control-based gameplay.
Pros
Extremely safe
Mind Blast stun + traps = strong control
Great hybrid damage with Death Sentry corpse explosion
Cons
Slightly slower raw clear
Damage requires setup

I wish i had the FG to play java based 3 hybrid on d2r. should be epic with the new dodge functions.

Fury needs high physical damage, CS to punnish them lacking, and plague and bow to be a mean asshole vs them ^^
