questions concerning ww/trapper hybrid
Hey guys. as usual, I have checked the guides, and found a lot of useful information in them. i have decided to try my hand at a pvp ww/trap hybrid sin. I am really thinking that I want to give it a go with a physical damage based (this is on ladder), so here are a few things I was looking at and maybe you guys could help me with the decisions I need to make.
I really really stink at teleporting, so if I use enigma, please be notified that I won't be teleporting with it. I also like the idea of 75% block vs. melee, so am going to have max block with a shield (probably a ss). with this said, bos is probably my best bet for the speed that it will give me running and trap laying.
I am not sure if I want venom or not, but I am positive that I will max claw mastery for the attack rating, damage, and critical bonuses that I can achieve with it. I am also going to think about us ing fortitude, enigma, or even somethign else for an armor. I am not going for the venom/ow route entirely...would prefer to let it be if at all possible.
questions, though. should I go dual claw or not? if I do, then the second claw will be my 271 ed/fools/40 ias runics, probably either Lo or eth this. resists are certainly not needed.
If I use fort, then should I use arachnid mesh and a pair of 20 fcr gloves? this gives me the 65 fcr bp for mind blast. could also be trangs if I really wanted to bother with venom. I have a whole slough of rare fcr rings to choose from, including one that gives 10 fcr/17 str/144 ar/other mods and others with resists/life/etc. I am thinking that dual ravens is better for ar, damage, mana, etc, though, or raven/soj for mana and +skill. since I am thinking ss at the moment, then maybe a chaos in a scissors suwayyah, as I believe it possesses the most damage.
if I follow the raven/soj route with arachnids and trangs gloves, then maybe this for a gear layout?
ber shako/um kiras
-15/resist jewel ss
gores (upped is likely)
chaos high damage claw
fortitude scarab/fort
highlords (deadly strike)
raven
soj
trangs gloves
arachnid mesh
gives me a total of +6 all, for a level 7 ww..one short of that level 8 I need to break even on whirlwind damage requirements. I could use a cta on switch, but I don't know here. it all depends, I guess.
I don't know if this is a good setup or not, I guess I need you guys to point out flaws in my gear. note that I have nearly a complete inventory of 10/xx/life charms and smalls, also resist/lifers and such as needed. would I need many trap/shadow charms to make this girl shine? the traps are just there to take out guys I can't get to or isn't wise to ww vs (barbs come to mind). I will have one and only one point in mindblast, so that is it as far as that goes. as far as traps...should I consider a caster switch and forego having all the fcr on one side? I have the hoto+ss or whatever it is I would need. I am not at all opposed to losing the arachnids/etc for more useful items in those slots. If anyone has any input, please point it out. I am not sure on this sin and would really like it to be useful.
