Hi all,
i have currently a lvl 81 Trapsin that focuses on LS/DS and has some points
in WOI (about 10+4)
Result is:
dmg LS: 1-2300
dmg WOI: about 530
I am now at the point where i have to decide to raise synergies for LS or
raise WOI.
Tips on this would be great.

But back to the topic:
(for a new Trapsin:)
I never found WOI really useful so i think of instead of putting 20 points
(or even more for synergies) into WOI, putting ONE point into Blade Fury
and use the other for more light dmg (for example).
Of course the reason for this idea is my problem with LIs in hell.
Will 1 point in BF give enough dmg to help my SM and merc ?
The question is also - im using c/c - will BF support the 2nd claw-dmg ?

Any comments and tips very welcome

Many thanks

-DocS-

Not really. If your SM can tank, you can tickle one or two monsters
to death (a lot of patience and the prevent monster heal mod are both
good to have) and blow up the rest with DS. And BF is a very fast
attack, so crushing blow is very effective.

Regards, Jens.

There's 3 ways I can see to go with this:

1. Max Venom to add lots of poison damage. - Lots of people like this one.
2. Max Claw Mastery to boost damage
3. Use a high damage weapon / shield combo on the weapon switch.

I went with number 3. My assassin has a Nord's Tenderizer and Tiamat's
rebuke on the weapon switch. I get pretty good damage out of my 1 point in
blade fury. I don't remember exactly what the damage range is but the
monsters definitely know they are being hit as I can see their life bar
shrinking.

I went with that option so I could spend points elsewhere. I did max Wake of
Inferno. I've got a bunch of unspent points now. I'm debating whether I want
to max Venom now for more damage or if I want to max my Shadow Master or
maybe the trap skill that adds more shots to Death Sentry and damage to WoI.

I see that you still have maxed WOI and thus use WOI AND BF ?
Then i would still have those 20 pts into fire.
I think i will try that on my existing Trapsin, 3 skillpoints left will
give me BF easyly and will try the combo of WOI and BF on LI.
Important seems for me to get a good shield, which i will try now.
Thank you Hacksaw
