One of my deepest dream is to make PUS SPITTER viable someway somewhat.

Hybrid trap Assassin with max Venom + burst of speed and some sc with poison dmg.
In switch widowmaker.
Merc infinity

You fail at basics. Conviction doesn't lower poison resist. External poison damage hardly benefits venom.
The real hybrid for pvm is max dtalon, max venom, max death sentry, 1p blade fury, fade or BoS.

His dream will never come true

I'm making a kicksin with schaefer's hammer. That thing is sursprisingly good with BoS.

Infinity will help for the hybrid part (light trap) Sir.

it did in PD2

Pure trapper doesn't need gimping itself with something it doesn't need. You lose crescent moon and + skills/mana from spirit. A trapper deals lightning, physical and fire damage.

We are missing the focus:
- Pus spitter is a must
- I try to make something viable (something that doesn't struggle in P1 hell)
- I belive that a pure trapper is way more powerful but thanks to lower resist of the pus spitter i thought that the "light tree" is the best tree to build with if I want to give this awesome crossbow on an assassin (opinions on other classes are appreciated)

In my mind there is something like: run, traps, shot until low resist proc, attack and maybe switch with (new idea) Gimmershred for the elemental output.

Just use gargoyle or a poison dagger charges fools kris

"Charges" speaking i probably rather use a wand with lower resist and replacing pus spitter. But i wont consider this solution.
Poison dagger? Assassin already have venom that is incredibly stronger than Poison Dagger.. looks like the same effort of adding poison charms.
