Mr

Trap Assasin Build

-------------------------------

Introduction to this build

-------------------------------

The trapist is a excellent character to duel PVP in 1.1 , and there are many a time when a person has to be forced to use absorb to counter the huge damage potential of her traps. However, a person if not given an opportunity in public games when 7 different types of characters are there and she/he cannot just get lightning absorb. She is also excellent in PVM as well, having a source of insane damage that consists lightning.

This character can also be made for Mf, as they can easily equip Shako, Engima, 2x Isted Baba, War Travs and MF stuff like that but ARE still able to kill effectively.

However, this is no cheap build, it requires a lot of expensive items. BTW light facets do not work on traps.

Statistics

--------------

Strength: 85. Enough to use Stormshield Monarch when equipped with Engima + T gods

Dexterity: 160-220. Enough to Get Max Block

Vitality: Everything Else here. You will need a lot of life for whatever ur doing : )

Energy: Base. You do not need much mana to cast your traps and energy spent on it will be wasted anyway as more life = better.

Skill Distrubution

---------------------

Fire Blast ?Basically your backup fire skill against lightning immunes. Gets synergy bonuses from all of the points ur going to put in traps, and has quite a decent damage.

Together with maxed synergies, a lvl 20 Fire Blast can do about 700 damage in its blast radius and the damage increases a lot after Slvl 20.

Recommendation: 10 points.

Charged Bolt Sentry: Synergy for Lightning sentry

Recommendation: Maxed

Shock Web: This Skill is pretty decent for crowds and it is a synergy to lightning sentry.

Recommendation: Maxed

Lightning Sentry

Basically your main killer skill, both in PVP and PVM. Outrips Death Sentry in damage potential in late game and synergies helps it to achieve a whole shitload of damage.

Reccomendation: Maxed FIRST

Death Sentry: As this skill is good in PVM for its exploding, it should deserve to be maxed. Moreover, it is a synergy to Lightning Sentry.

Reccomendation: Maxed

Burst of Speed : Increases your running speed which is very useful in PVP and PVM. Also, the IAS helps when casting because FCR is not taken into consderation when casting traps whereas IAS is.

Reccomendation: 1 point

Fade: 1 point. Use this for PVM.

Mind Blast: Stuns your enemies, a must have in both PVP and PVM

Reccomendation: 2 points.

With skill quests, your build will be completed at Clvl 82 or so, and additional skill points should go towards Mind Blast

Items

-------

Helm: Obviously a Shako with a UM or Shael Rune Socketed would be the best helm for this build, but there are other viable options as well like Andariel뭩 Visage, Crown and ages or anything that has + to skills. A poor man뭩 dream would be a peasant hat or a Lore Runeword Helm.

Armor: Engima Dusk Shroud for its teleport, high defense and awesome r/w mods. The Mf is a added bonus. This is probably the only armor suited for a trapsin with an exception to Chains of Honor Runeword Dusk Shroud. Vipermagi or Que hagans would be cheap alternatives BUT you need to spend a lot more on strength to get the build right.

Weapon: Heart of the Oak. Try to get this as it has excellent mods like +3 to skills, FCR for teleport, and nice resists. Downside is the runes are quite rare and even expensive for some of the ladder players, so a Bartucs or a WizardSpike would be better. Note: If u plan to use bartucs you might want to forget about shield and use two bartucs and get weapon block

Shield: Stormshield Monarch. There are other options too, but none beats this shield.

Amulet: You would choose a Mara뭩 Kaleidoscipe over the rest. +2 to skills and resists makes it a rather good amulet. Of course you could always craft yourself a asn amulet or use any amulet with + 3 to traps etc etc.

Rings: 2 x SOJS.

Boots: Silkweaves

Belt: Thundergod뭩 Vigor. Why? This is because most duelers you meet have lightning based attack and you will want this for vitality and strength bonuses too. Another alternative is Arachnid뭩 Mesh for its +1 to skill.

Glove: Frostburns

On switch:

Poor: Get 2 claws with + to shadow disiciplines, BoS etc etc

Rich: Call to Arms and Lidless on switch

You will also need a lot of trap GCs charms to improve ur overall damage, and also resists charms to withstand some of the elemental attacks.

Annilius is pretty helpful too?

Against Zons

You should not have problems with Bowazons in particular, since
