So I see that a trapsin is one of the highest DPS characters. I'd like to make one to farm with.

Please shed all your knowledge upon me.

What is a good damage to be at?
How do I get to that damage? (gear)
Will I be able to clear cows, diablo, baal, etc with ease?
Is this a running or teleport build?

I usually go on here to find my builds but noticed almost all builds are the same gear setup and don't really compare to the people I see carrying lobbies: https://www.icy-veins.com/d2/lightning-death-sentry-assassin-trapsin-build

Any more questions will be added.

12k+(maybe higher with d2r's reworked synergies)
dual 5 light sentry claws(ideally 2x greater talons, mainhand needs 42ias so base 20ias minimum+2x 15ias jewels or get 30-40ias and u only need 1x 15ias jewel), griffons, 2/17+amulet, spider trang 2x fcr ring, enigma, shadowdancers or rare resist boots(meh) , merc with infinity
yes, just lay 1 or 2 death sentries mixed with your lightning sentries for corpse explode damage if solo farming, if players 8 maybe just 1, if its like corpse explosion it only uses the players 1 hp for the damage calculation(which is why CE sucks at higher player counts but if u can constantly kill/spam it still its nice)
teleport ofc

if your on ladder you could use a sunder charm as well, to pierce more immunity before infinity conviction takes effect at 17% effictiveness

doens't work on a trap build. Traps count as minions.

almost everyone knows this.

griffons is best trapper helm because 1/25fcr hat.
even if the damage does not work.

Griffons

i suggest 65 fcr for pvm, you don't gain much by investing in 102 fcr. you won't teleport long distances anyway since you need to wait for monsters to die to your traps, scan the loot, pick up the valuable loot. only exception might be if you are the char to tele baal or nila or do seal pop chaos. but even then, your tele speed would only be increased by 9%, imo not worth it. 65 fcr and max skill boni for high trap dmg

174fcr for fast tele

Blizzard sorc.

if you are happy that trapper is not one of the highest DPS chars, carry on.

slow and steady, a trapper is very beginner friendly, and in this regard yes it is very good for farming specific areas.

really depends. The easierst way is to play with Shako (Cham), Hoto, Spirit, Mara's, Magefist, Arachnid, War Traveler and dual Soj. Cheap and very strong.

re-read Haseo's post again.

when making a c/c build griffons is the only way to hit 102fcr. everyone knows it doesn't boost trap damage, but it is the helm for the build.
c/c builds will have higher damage traps and weaponblock, and be able to keep their trap speed on fade.

shakosin is entry level trapper setup. yes it is cheap and strong.
but griffons best in slot for higher budget builds like the one Haseo posted.
