Trap Rat Miniguide Pog

[huangyunshy]

Well you dont need to sacrifice your mf. I have 380% mf and still 45% DS.



Fauzt p8 is easy but it's frustrating cuz Trap Rat shitty FHR and its not worth farming for me. If I want to farm fauzt then just reset to Wolf for cakewalk.

Can you showcase your gear please?

XisXisXis Eth Plunderbird.
Undead Crown with 4x Crystal of Tears UMO.
Tainted Shrine Crafted on Light Plate (aim for more than 170% minion damage and %mf)
Tainted Shrine Crafted on Light Plate (aim for more than 110% minion damage and 2%block chance or 1% block chance with %PR)
Rogue Foresight
Lilith's Temptation
Wind Runner Boots
Beads Queen with 4x Marksman's Eye UMO
Giant Knucle
Arush with 4x Marksman's Eye UMO

Because of Plunderbird + Undead Crown carries your damage so other item slots are just for minion damage and dex, %PR. If you want 100% UA then switch armor to SOTS and Deadfall TU belt. MO for %UA. I've tested 100% UA in p8 fauzt but not much faster, just less frustrating.

How do you achieve 3700% EWD? I did what you said, except for marksman's eye UMo, I only had 660% EWD

WORK IN PROGRESS

Patch 1.7 changes I've noticed (thus far):

The trap rat is still viable. The new changes to damage, enemy health, and the Druid rework have done it some good.

For one, the skills have changed and moved around. At 119 thus far my skills look (and will likely be) like this:

Trap Rat tree:

► Show Spoiler

Trap rat form - 25pts atm, will smax
Quill storm (main attack for multitargets/mobs/farming) - 24pts atm, will smax in intervals of 10 (caps at around 30pts meaning 5 targets overall)
Egg trap - 1pt
Ferocity - 22pts currently, it seems to hit diminishing returns rather early, will likely smax but maybe not--will need more time to experiment with this and report back
Thorn Wall - 10pts here - single target attack/for bossing/long range killing (example: stormeye totems in k3kba)

Seer tree:

► Show Spoiler

Harvest - 1pt
Elvensong - 3pts currently, will eventually get to 26pts for the synergy with Symbiosis to give us an additional 20% avoid
Infected Roots - 1pt
Barkskin - 20pts currently, 20pts moving forward. This is the new "Lifeshield" and at 20 points the efficiency level is 100% (max)
Harvesters - 8pts currently, will likely be 8 in the future. The harvesters don't deal much damage however their aura gives us +30% attack and movement speed. Speed and damage are important for the trap rat.
EDIT: Edyrems can't summoned outside of Toraja, so it's best we stick to 8 points here and use the Harvester summons when necessary.

Reward tree:

► Show Spoiler

Mythal - 1pt, and 1pt moving forward. The only benefit to adding more points here is the reduced cooldown at -0.2 seconds for every 1pt in the skill, with a minimum of 5 seconds (comes out to around 20 points into the skill). I use Mythal now more than before (2 patches ago when I played trap rat) and currently don't see a benefit to adding more points here--if I'm wrong or if experimentation proves otherwise, I'll revise this accordingly.
Symbiosis - 4pts now, 4pts moving forward (the max). See the skill "Elvensong" above for more info.

Ultimate skill:
Faerie Fire - 10pts currently, smax'ing moving forward. This is where things get tricky because depending on our needs we may need to respec in favor of Vine Companion. As a general rule of thumb: we use Faerie Fire for general play/farming, whereas when it comes to labbing Vine Companion is our friend.
OR
Vine Companion - 0pts atm, may switch to it should I decide to spec/gear for high labbing again. It doesn't seem like there's a cap on the max life percentage like before so I might smax this skill also and take advantage of all the max life I can get--which is essential for high labbing. Check back for more info as time progresses--I have more experimentation to do here.

As for gearing, I have yet to get to endgame stage gearing, however here's what I've done thus far and plan on for gearing in the future:

Generally we'll want to prioritize our breakpoints, maximum elemental resists (particularly fire, cold, and lightning--want to get 90% as our maxes here), physical resist (50% is the cap however the Erinys debuff deals -10% to physical resist so maybe 60% physical resist could make us quite resilient despite the debuff).

8pts currently, will likely be 0 in the future once I can get Edyrems. Or I may keep it at 8 points for the 5 max summons. The harvesters don't deal much damage however their aura gives us +30% attack and movement speed. Speed and damage are important for the trap rat.

You can't summon edyrems outside of Toraja anymore, if you were thinking about using them as meat shields.

"Despite the nerf on Plunderbird (used to be -10% now it's -6%) the Undead Crown/Plunderbird combo remains the most lethal/BiS options."

This is actually a buff. -6% EWD per 1% CB > -10% EWD per 1% CB. Unless there's some reason someone might actually prefer less weapon damage, but I can't imagine it.

Because everything was halved, including EWD. So if it was in line, it would be -5% EWD to be comparable to the -10%, so you lose 20% more EWD than previously.

From what i'm seeing - overall EWD were lowered not by exactly half but by 40%. For example previously

had 100% EWD max and 60% now (same goes for any other EWD sources). Also rat passive EWD were buffed too (7% before must be 4% now but it's 5% instead). So 10% to 6% means that actually it remain unchanged.

Your gear could probably be optimized but I'm pretty sure your problem is execution and not numbers. The only number problem i noticed, is that your block rate is kinda low but that is probably not really relevant for Kab. I suggest you either elaborate on what you think is wrong or specifically try to look through videos of Kab kills to get a more nuanced idea about how people do him. He can be an annoying boss, especially with shit gear but you should have the damage for a somewhat moderately fast kill.

Edit: Ohhh yea, mandatory mention of eating 400 signets. Alternatively, try to raise max poison and fire resistances.

1. I feel that my dmg low
2. trap rat can stop doing any under attack. Very low fhr animation (or i dnt known what it). I up to 90, but problem here
3. I cant find video with trap rat and bosses.
4. LOL. This guy cant farm nih for sigs - hi dyed BECAUSE ONLY 4 target and cant rush like bear/pal etc.

It's not just karabxis - any boss, who can move fast seems me impossible with VERY LOW traprat atack animation and machanic/ at current lv.

Yeahsper: "You can't summon edyrems outside of Toraja anymore, if you were thinking about using them as meat shields."

Thank you for pointing this out. I will then likely stick to +8 to harvesters and make edits in my post accordingly.

Bagboybrown: "This is actually a buff. -6% EWD per 1% CB > -10% EWD per 1% CB. Unless there's some reason someone might actually prefer less weapon damage, but I can't imagine it."

Great observation; -6% is > -10% so what you're saying makes perfect sense.
When combined with Undead Crown, we deal no Crushing Blows and CB becomes inverted which also means the EWD inverts. The -6% (or -10%) EWD now effectively become +6% (or +10%) EWD.

Keter: "Cant kill karabxis etc at 126lv. Need some advice"

The trick is to keep moving in circles and laying down quills as you move along, keeping Faerie Fire up at all times to deal him more damage as he follows you. Get him to follow you...instead of the other way around. You can also try increasing max fire and poison resists, and get your 400 signets in as Cheno suggested above. Keep in mind he now only "soulsteals" (regens a % of his max life) when he kills you but not your minions. Use them (Harvesters and/or Elvensong) if you feel they'll help...

Another thing that will help is +% to Slow Target...a summoner necro using Veil King(s) can easily kill Kabraxis thanks to the high slow percentage Veil King(s) have. Alternatively, you can respec into a werebear (which has an innate 50% slow target), good amount of life leech, and Rend him to his death.
