Hi!

I have some questions for HC trapsin players
this is my first character on HC and I don't want to fall too fast in battle, I'm currently lvl 94

my build: shako um'd, mara, soj, soj/raven/wisp, arach, hoto, stormshield eld'd, enigma, aldur, magefists, swap cta+spirit, trapskiller with low health or FRW and you know anni and torch - 3000Life and i need many mana potions
I have 75 resistances, ~69 poison, but it's not a major problem,
merc: infinity, treachery and andariel w/ 15ias/29res

I have questions:
i only gave one point in DS and the rest in WoF - is this how it should be?

I have low FCR and FHR, traps also require IAS which I don't have much
In general, when I play solo, I kill the minions quite quickly, but in +5P games it's not so easy, but my life never drops below half

i dont using sunder - does it positively affect with trapsin?

i saw other trapsin have sometimes shako ber'd sometimes wizspike sometimes silence runeword do you think it's worth considering?

can someone share advice/build with a younger colleague?

where u leveling 95-99? TZs ? Baal? multi? solo?

Thanks in advance and regards,
meli

Hi,

Afaik, sunder charm works, but once your enemies are at 95% light res, nothing else can affect that ( -lr on your equipment don't work for the traps), so sunder is quite useless for trap at the moment ... you better kill immune with fire/ds

Investing sk points in ds increase the radius of CE effect, so you'd better max it (your trapsin will not be a mess if you don't, but you have enough sk points to do so generaly, so .... )

Wiz or silence pb allow you to have decent res under bos, who provide massive ias for your trap as well on top of frw (comfort, but really usefull if you don't tele much...)

Fc i a matter of comfort aswell, if you plan on doing keyrun with yours, it will be a pain, if you cs/pits/..., you'll be fine i guess

for the leveling, i only play legacy d2, so it's still cs/baal, a trap can handle it quite well even in p8, but you enjoy having a friend or two for increasing speed

Primarily focus on the comments from me.

Thanks!
This is what i looking for, not spamming 1 button for 2-3 months

I would like to try this build but the items that are needed are unavailable or very hard to get especially on HC
e.g. 3x15ias/15all@ or scs 5all@+life,
2MA+20ias+10%cb gloves,
fcr dual leech ring with AR/mana/res

without them this build is applicable?
