Background information:
Currently at lvl 63
Max dragon talon
Max shadowmaster
1 point death sentry
1 point blade shield
8 unused skill points

Stats:
136 str, heading towards 156 for udgores
Dex 85 for ar and Block
Rest in vita

My current gear is:
Head: Lore, looking for Gface
Amu: 2 shadow disciplin, 5 frw, 17life 13 all res: looking for cats eye
Weapon: Black, thinking of either lawbringer og crescent moon
Shield: Ryhme, looking for stormshield or sanctuary
Gloves: 2 Ma 20 ias 21 fire res, 7 str
Ring: raven Frost
Ring2: mandal heal, looking for something else, but What?
Armor: Treachery
Boots: Goblin toes, upped once.
Belt: SoE

Since its offline im limited What items i Can get. Like stormlash and shadow dancers

Now for the questions
What should i do skill wise? Should i go venom or trap tree?
What should i do armor wise? Really fearing switching out treachery for the likes of duress so that i miss out on that sweet lvl 15 fade and all the ias do i wait until i find The cats eye or highlords?.
What to with the weapon? Considering making lawbringer, but i guess i cant until i’ve found Gface because of the lacking crushing blow. Could silence rw be an option if i some how find Reapers toll for merc?

Any help with some or all of my questions are appriciated

Guillaume + lawbringer would be good upgrades. And also upped gores or double upped goblins.

Try crafting 20ias/cb gloves as those are better than ur current.

Rhyme works wonders early on.

Some curse from lawbringer will help a lot, but know that enemies killed by any melee attack then will not be poppable by death sentry.

I would max death sentry man, possible ls too. I dont see any value in making dragon talon or shadowmaster. You May max dt, but its not very vital. Who cares if the kick does 600 or 800 damage, thats kinda the difference... its the speed of the attack combined with good ar bonus which is the Key feature to trigger CB and curse and later on static from stormlash.

Duress is best armor for u now. There are other relevant too, the one that looks like btal (rattle cage), and I think there is even 1 more. Lvl 1 base fade is decent. Hl is better than cats due to skill level, but cata is nice. But prior to atma's ur current ammu works fine.

1. Guillaume
2. Duress
3. Elite boots(gores/goblins)
4. Craft 20ias/cb gloves
5. Better death sentry who helps better

Those should be Main priorities

I Think the problem is the Ar and safety for me. If i dont Max dragon talon, i loose a lot og Ar bonus to hit targets. I maybe see the option Down the Line when i get demon limb for prebufff enchant tho!
But why Max DeathS if it wont pop monters if i use lawbringer? I Think lawbringer is gonna be my main weapon for a Long time due to the safety of it. Should i Max LightningS and fireblast instead then? So ideal set up, without stormlash
GF + 15 ias jewel
Highlords
Lawbringer
Duress
Sanctuary
2/10cb gloves
Ravenfrost
String of ears
Maybe dwarf star?
Duble upped GToe or upped Goreriders

Right?

If this is the set up my skills should be
Dragon talon : enough to hit stuff
Max LightningS
Max DeathS
Max Fireblast
1 blade shield
1 fade

I also like lawbringer a lot. You won't be able to explode bodies killed by your kicks. But the bodies made by corpse explosion, death sentry or lighting sentry will be able to explode.

And killed by merc/sm etc :)

Still gonna pop a lot, but many u need to kill 1 or 2 more enemies before it pop.
