Which Traps Are Better

Hello again everyone. I already got one response to this question that I appreciate and I think I agree with the poster but I thought I would get more opinions if I made another post where it was the only question.

Which traps are better for a Dtalon kicker assassin. I think I will use this character mostly for solo mf baal runs. Lightning does more dmg and can have corpse explosion but fire hits more enemies and would help against lightning immune enemies that my static field triggering doesn't hurt... then again so would corpse explosion but I don't have much experience with death sentry. Does it work well with corpse explosion? Anyway thanks for all your advice.

Well, I'm strictly a trapper, so I'm not sure how many skill points you have available. But, for me DS is a life saver in Hell, especially against LIs. All I need is one or two bodies, then I spam my maxed DS and the floor is littered with blood and guts.

And as far as fire hitting more enemies, that's not neccessarily true. Lightning pierces enemies, so if dropped right, one bolt can easily take out as many or more than my fire blast. I've even had it take out off-screen monsters. But, it's also maxed along with most of it's synergies.

One small correction: DS synergizes WoI as well, so you could have both fire damage and CE. Not that I think that would be a great idea. None of the fire traps are very good without a lot more synergy investment than 20 points.

The most efficient route is definitely LS/DS. If you can work with its limitations, a high level DS's CE is a very powerful (and fun) way to deal with lightning resistant monsters in its own right.

Thanks for the advice I think I"ll go with Ds and Ls.
