well for pvm, there is two much more optimal routes to go down.

#1, it would be using a 2sin/20fcr ammy + 20ias gloves + 6os facet sword + for the extra 30% lightning damage
or to use a 2x 15ias/15res jewel / 4x facet phase blade + 20ias gloves for max trap laying speed with 20fcr ammy


or even better yet, would just be to use a 6x fire facet + 4x fire facet shield + 3trap/20fcr/2 facet helm + mage fist + arach + 2/10 ammy + 2xsoj and just fire blast everyone to death with telestomp. Its faster than hdins.


or just mosaic since mosaic significantly better than for leveling

I love a good 6 banger + j-mod but let's be honest, is OP running that or is OP rocking a Crescent Moon until they get a HOTO/shopped claw? It's a good enough guide for them. Anybody truly trying to dig into the weeds of optimization is smart enough to not use Maxroll

Good to see respect on fire blast though. Made one recently and it's my new Java

even maxrolls number one build for trapper is wrong for fully decked out. They using ias jewels and 7fhr jewels in both claws.

Where you should be using 2x facets in each 3trap/3ls/40ias/2os gt and your 3trap/3ls/2os offhand

Then to get max trap speed you use 20ias gloves. Then you use griffons+ 2/20fcr ammy + arach for 65fcr

again, maxroll is jsut littered with incorrect information regardless of what build you are looking at.

That's because they're using Crescent Moon + Jmod on swap instead of CTA

Facets increase your damage. So you can cast trap at higher damage with facets in them and then swap to - res gear


So yes, maxroll as always is wrong

To be fair, those are only build variants. All the items you'd want are under Essentials and you can piece it together yourself. For a returning player, what are their alternatives?
