Kick/Trap Hybrid I am a regular in the HC forum but strayed a bit this direction for some help... Does anyone have any experience with a Kick/Trap hybrid in hell? I was thinking of making a PVM Dragon Talon sin with Death Sentry for crowd control. The intent was to go C/C, with obvious points in SM (17 after equip), 1 in MB and CoS. I also intended to run BoS as opposed to fade to attain max FPS on kicking, knowing I will have problems with resists that way but I think I can find the equipment. I also planned on using a blade skill so I am not completely useless while IM'd. The main question is about skill placement; I have a ton of them left and am torn between something like PS or TS, leaning more towards PS due to having another method of damage as just a few points in DS wont due crap in NM, let alone hell. Suggestions? Please include skill and equip ideas. Thanks guys.
I'm doing a kicker/lightning trapper in HC now, but I'm only level 34 now. I play untwinked since it's my only HC char. Until level 30 it sucked because the only think I could do was kick and I didn't even have crushing blow yet. But now it starts to go fast. I've played this build in softcore a lot and I know it rocks in hell. However I do have some nice items in sc that I lack now (harlequin, bartuc, jade talon, nat's armour, +2 assassin amu, ravenfrost, string). I plan on making a Strenght claw and craft blood gloves to get me to 35% crushing blow. Any big damage boots will do then. If you max DS, LS and CBS your trap damage in hell is fine. edit: I use the build as mentioned in the post above.
Hi, I have a level 75 Kicker/Trapper hybrid on Europe HCL. Here's the rundown of her skills and items: Skills: 20 DS 20 LS 20 CBS (currently maxing this) 18 DTalon (level 30 with items) 3-5 Shadow Master (can't remember the exact amount, but aiming for lvl 17 with items) 3-5 Fade 1 Dragon Flight 1 all the rest shadow skills except Venom Gear: - Guillaume's Face (ias jewel) - 2*Bartucs (primary claw socketed with Shael rune; nothing on the other one) - 2*+3 Shadow claws on switch - perfect upgraded Vipermagi with Um - upgraded Gore Riders - Thundergod's Vigor - rare gloves 20%IAS, +2 Martial Arts, 3%mana leech - Ravenfrost - some rare ring - plain +2 assassin magical amulet I have: - Maxed resists in Hell (75/75/85/75) - Maxed kick speed with 6 kicks (7/2/2/2/2/2) - 50% Crushing Blow - 50% Weapon Block - 90% Faster Hit Recovery (iirc 4 frame) - dual absorb (cold and lightning) - decent trap damage - ~1500 life Ideally, I'd like to have more Crushing Blow but I can't think of a combo where I can still have maxed resists and kick speed and good +skills.
try blood gloves, i did get +2 amazon bow skills and 20 IAS once, combined with CB and life steal. I guess I could have gotten +2 assa too I traded them for a Nat's armour, I'm not sure if that was smart, the gloves were really good
So I'm playing untwinked hardcore with a build that needs crushing blow using Dragon Talon and guess what the first unique is I find: Goblin toe, the unique lite plated boots with 25% crushing blow Sometimes I really love this game I might even upgrade them to exceptional since I don't expect to get Gore Riders any time soon...
