The plan is to have one Guardian of each class. I've already made some progress with most classes. I've got 3 chars in Hell and the rest in NM. When I'm done with that and I've got some wealth, it's time to Guardian some weird builds.

Hey there! Welcome back.

Congrats on the Guardian.

What made you start with a Trapsin?

 

[Drystan]

Welcome back, winmar! Congrats on the Guardian, and good luck with the rest!

 

[winmar]

Thanks. I always Guardian a Trapsin first. Easy to plan your gear, don't have to worry about immunes, great crowd control, very safe play syle. I find them easier and safer than a Fishymancer.

Just get Spirit Sword + Rhyme + Lore + Switch Claws and you're good to go basically.

I will use her to run The Pits and WSK.

I did start with a Blizzsorc though, but I only use her for NM Meph runs at the moment.

Nice job on getting the Guardian done untwinked! BTW- you do know that cast rate doesn't affect trap speed? That would be the IAS.

 

[Zenigma]

FCR does affect Mindblast, though, which I'm sure helped keep him safe. But those mods might also have just been icing on the cake.

 

[winmar]

Yeah, I know the FCR is useless for traps. But the items with FCR got some nice all res and +skills, that's why I use them.

 

[pharphis]

congratz and welcome back!

When D2 multi was still active I also made trappsin first for Terror Key hunts. The only place it can have problem is Hell Ancients.
