Im looking to make a dual claw / death sentry trapper hybrid. Anyone have any recommendations?

thought my original post said it all but Ill elaborate.

Im wanting to make a dual claws sin that uses death sentry, I was wanting to know if anyone has done this, if its viable, and a rough build for it if it is.

edit: all ive been able to find is kicker/trap hybrids and straight trap sins

Your build is exactly the same as many trapsin's.

I don't know what you mean with the 'hybrid' in dual claw / death sentry hybrid though. You want to use Dragon Claw as attack next to DS?

I was thinking more along the lines of BoT / Phoenix Strike with Dragon Claw in melee supported by death sentry?

Anything in that ballpark, basically just a claw/claw melee build supported by traps

That's basically a Phoenix striker with 1-20 points in DS. Sure that works. There is a guide for Phoenix strikers available.

though the guide has helped me a great deal with how Im going to build the claw side of my sin, I still have a few questions about my traps. Do most people recommend 1 or 20 in death sentry? And no where in the guide does it mention blade shield though it seems like it would be quite effective with this build. Any comments or suggestions regarding traps?

also, unless im misunderstanding 'next delay' wouldnt the third charge of CoT be almost completely pointless?

1-20 point DS is matter of personal preference and style. If you put 20 points in it, the CE might become to dominant to your taste. It will also cost you a synergy of course. Personally I always it max though, unless style reasons demand otherwise.

Blade Shield is not particularly useful. It hits very slow (once per second) and with low damage. Things like OW and CB don't work with it either.

Not pointless. You can even get around the next delay by using DTail as finisher. It gives knockback which pushes the monster just far enough away for the next delay time to pass.

Basic Skill layout would be:

MA tree

20 CoT
20 Phoenix Strike
1 in all finishers

Shadow tree

1 in everything

Trap tree

1-20 Death Sentry

With the rest of the points you can do a few things like pumping Venom/Shadows, get another elemental skill (FoF/BoI), give DS more shots (Fire Blast). A point in Blade Fury, if you have a nice weapon for it, is always a good idea.

Gear is not any different than a regular Phoenix Striker.

thank you very much sir. Just the stuff I was looking for. I've never even touched a sin before so some of the basics were beyond me.
