Because greater talons have the highest attack speed (or laying traps). Runic also have the same speed but they need higher str and dex to use.

Hand Sycthe is just as good as Greater Talons just as long as you find one with the 5 LS and 40 IAS. Using another Greater Talon off hand, you can still reach the fastest trap laying speed with just one IAS jewel--the same number of jewels needed with a 2/3/30+ GT.

This is false lol hand scythe is -10 while gt is -30 so gt is a lot faster

Feral and runic are most used for assas who also use wirl or DC ocationally. And ofc ghosts etc.

This is terribly incorrect.

With a HS and GT offhand you need 63 ias for 9 FPA traps

You would need 2x 15 ias in the HS if it has 40 ias

For GT and GT you only need 42 ias. So you would only need 1 jewel in the 40 ias claw

its not jsut trap laying speed

its a combination of trap laying speed and requirements

trappers will only have 85 dex with shadow dancers and therefore gt (79 req) and SQ (82 req) work the best

you don't need to get any dex from jewerly or stat anything to equip ur claws

besides that they offer really high trap speed (not the highest, that would be war fist + gt)

i personally use this: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=84688665&f=54

these give me max speed possible in the game and the WF actually gives me blade shield which is amazing for some extra stuns on kick or while being telestomped
