TRAP ASSASSIN

---

Introduction
Not much changed in the upcoming patch just a small nerf on NCINERATION TRAP all else works pretty well.

---

Pros

-High -enemy fire/light resist
-Alot of slow target
-45% block with no points in dex

Cons


-PHASE BOMB still have cooldown for some reason
-not the best build for multiplayer unless all are casters

The main skill you will use are:
Effect: plants a device that continuously burns enemies within a radius
Effect: lightning sentry that explodes into a nova pattern
Effect: plants a device that, when activated, slows nearby enemies in a radius around it
Effect: lowers enemy resistances, but disintegrates physical attackers

If you dont like phase bomb please skip to the spoiler at the end where is placed The Nutshell guide.Much more friendly and newbie

THE NUTSHELL

► Show Spoiler

This build in a nutshell:
==================

The trapsin uses the incinerator trap for crowd control, and electrofield/beacon for single target.

Pros:
Really simple build (casters for dummies), craft theory is very straight forward.
Lazy playstyle with very rewarding active playstyle
Cons:
lvl 130 ubers are hard, if not impossible, consider switching to claw/nagi for these
Maybe that without Vizjun set you can't do much? But it's doable with just crafts and RWs, but Vizjun is too good.
And maybe if you don't like lazy builds this one might not be for you.

==================
About your character:
==================

What about the traps damage? The damage of her traps gets calculated in a different way than other spells.
Subterfuge grabs a % of your total spell damage (of all elements EXCEPT poison) and applies it to your traps
This means fire, cold, lightning and phys/magic spell damage bonuses on items and skills will contribute to the total damage of your traps.
//Forget about energy factor too, so no investing in energy nor in items with EF/%EF

What about pierce? TRAPS CANT GET PIERCE FROM ITEM STATS
Investing base points into your traps (incinerator and shockwave) will give you pierce, the max pierce you can reach is 135% each.
//And Phase Bomb's debuff, or any other debuff skill that reduces enemy resistances (like Mythal).

What about stats? Enough for gear, rest on vitality, we have Perfect Being's %avoid and Artificial Mastery's free claw block (which also works as %avoid)

==================================
So the overall focus for this build's gear is:
==================================

Get as much %spell damage as possible, if you can't get all elements at once, aim for every individual (or more) elemental spell damage, EXCEPT posion.
Get as much +x to assassin/to all skills as possible, it boosts both your traps base damage and subterfuge's bonus damage.

=====================
As for it's gameplay style:
=====================

- Buff with Beacon (duh)
- Buff with whatever you have off-hand
- Slap an Incinerator trap, cast some Shockwave traps to get rid of fire absorbs, move around and buff yourself with Shadow Refuge until shit dies, if you want your enemies to die faster, summon a catalyst.
- Beacon's damage gets a boost from catalyst trap as long as you are standing inside of it's ring before beacon goes off (before the pulsating ring graphic dissapears)
//Take this into account when dealing with Act/Uber bosses.
- If you aren't using Beacon, but rather Phase Bomb, place it after buffing yourself with Shadow Refuge (we don't want to get 1HKO from Phase Bomb's reflected damage)

//Lavadome is more of a survival choice
//The Allseeing Eye will give you spell damage that will boost your traps damage a bit more, plus %STR that will help you equip items

Rings: Anything with +skills and or spell damage (lucky lotto it, and MO with fire,cold,light,phys/magic, and %res)

Amulet: Anything with +skills and or spell damage (MO with fire,cold,light,phys/magic, and %res) > Teganze Pendant > Witchmoon
//We can get Witchmoon by cubing a magic/rare amulet with two Arcane Crystals and an Oil of Enhancement (Blue)
//If we can get a good roll of %spell damage and +skills on Witchmoon, goodbye to ever thinking about getting another amulet ever again
//You can use a Teganze Pendant as a placeholder for early game

Gear tips:
MOs should be applied once you have heaps of gold (probably once you get to IOTSS) and your items reach tier 4
Hoard as much amulets as you can so you don't fall short of them when trying to craft Witchmoon (ilvl doesn't matter)
Also, hoard perfect gems, like, A LOT, just in case you are unlucky rerolling runewords for mid game's gear.
Even if you are done upgrading your TUs, keep shattering whatever TUs you find, we will need as many arcane shards as possible for crafting Jewels.

=========
Early Skills:
=========

1pt to martial tree to reach Perfect Being, max it from there
//Gimme dat avoid B

1pt to Backstab and Shadow Refuge
//Free Movement Speed and Phys res? Yus.

Max Subterfuge
//It will become a 1-pointer later on, but we need to max it to boost our traps damage in the mean time

Max all 3 traps skills (Incinerator, Shockwave, Catalyst)
//Order of priority: Incinerator > Catalyst > Shockwave

Artifice Mastery will only unlock until your three traps reach level 15 and your char reaches level 96
Once you reach that point, you can only spend 10 points on it (with that you reach the 45% claw block when still breakpoint)
//Claw Block is avoid and only works when standing still, this is good when we fuck up and we get swarmed

Ultimate/Rewards:

Primsatic cloak: 10 points
//No need to explain myself, the phys res from shadow refuge will make it even better
//We are spending that many points because ~300 flat phys res is more than enough considering we get 50% phys res from Shadow Refuge

Beacon: 1pt
//Makes you faster and the nuke it drops is too good

Vampiric Icon: 1 pt < Great skill to keep us up when getting surrounded

//But what about the ways? ways are useless for a pure caster as is, 1pt is more than enough, and we will let our +skills to take care of it
//Why not Phase Bomb? For now Beacon's damage is too good to carry our ssin during the first ubers, plus more movement speed is always welcomed, we will use it on later stages

//Rha RW on both claws is an improved version of Dual Spellgrips, only downside is that the rolls can vary a lot, so make sure to have lots of perfect gems in case your roll sucks.
//Where do we get an Oil of Conjuration? It is a random drop at the Icy Cellar, Abaddon, Pit of Acheron and Infernal Pit.
//Once you get it apply it to the base claws that you will use for Rha RW
Off-Hands: 2x Crafted Katars with Bloodlust Oskill. //Great Placeholder until we get a nice roll of Shamanka (SU Long Staff)
//Use any shrine for these except Enchanted (we want to save them for our crafts)
//It can roll +1 to +4 to bloodlust, first aim for whatever roll you can get of it, then aim for +4 once you have enough shrines to waste.

Mercenaries
===========

==================
Early to mid game:
==================

Act 2's Shapeshifter

"Why?" It's a great self sustained merc that will buff us with Bloodlust which will be a nice addition to our traps.

"Ok, but what should I aim for gearing?" as much +skills as possible, if you get Mythal proc on an amulet, use that and keep it until you get a better version with more +X to all skills

"And MOs?" Resistances and Strength

What about socke- Resistance Gems if still lacking res, or Ko runes to buff his heroic strength

Gear:

Weapon: Enyo RW on spear
Gloves: Iblis RW on any gloves
Belt: Whatever, I go with Deadfall because of procs and moar STR
Boots: Firedance proc boots > Megalith RW
Chest: Lumen Arcana RW > Dragheart RW > Crafted creepy Body Armor with +2 to all skills
Helm: TU All seeing eye/Lavadome/Auriel's Halo > Crafted creepy Circlet with +3 to all skills
Rings: Anything with +1 to all skills, even better if it has resistances on top of it
Amulet: Ditto, altough prioritize getting one with Mythal proc above everything else, even better if it rolls +x to all skills

==================
Mid to End game:
==================

Act 5's Barbarian OR Act 2's Fighter Mage

"Why Act 5 barb?" Once we either get claws with bloodlust OR Shamanka OR Qarak's Will, our act 2 merc will be practically useless, also Act 5 barb is very tanky with creepy Crafts.

"Why Act 2 fighter mage?" Because of chronofield, baby.

Gear for Act 5 Barbarian:

All crafted pieces with creepy shrines, make sure they roll a high amount of Enhanced Defense, %str and flat str.
Aim for highest bases to craft on (Gauntlets, Plated Belt, Graves, Ancient Armor, Great Sword, Avenger Guard).

Keep a crafted Great Sword until you get Qarak's Will or Shamanka.

MO strength and all resists on each armor piece, if you reach max res after this, insert Ko runes on each slot (or resistance gems, your choice).

Give him the same amulet with Mythal proc from your Act 2 merc

Gear for Act 2 Fighter Mage:

Just give him your shapefighter's gear.

Weapon: 20%ED and/or 100%AR Not true
Any weapon + Oil of Conjuration → returns item, may add bonus, for caster
why all the attributes in energy? Vitality must have
FB? End of teamplay Beacon synergies subtefuge, catalyst trap.

[Johnny Impak]

There are a couple things that feel wrong to me here. Make sure you understand the concepts before making a guide

1- Use oil of conjuration to get 40% chance to get 10% to spell damage.

2- Except for Laz, Fire set’s Wolf Stance is not very useful. Beacon does the job better, without sacrificing slots.

3- Statwise, maxing energy is useless since traps do NOT get damage from enery factor. Enough for gear ( Next to none) in strength and dexterity, everything else in vitality to synergize with trap mastery.

4- Subterfuge is not so useful past 8 points. Early game max it because the increment is substantial, later on it is only 1% per soft/hard point. Investing in a 2 seconds blink is way more reliable.

5- Catalyst trap must be maxed in order to deal enough damage in the 125-130 range. On the other hand, around 10 hard points in Prismatic Cloak and 50% dodge via Perfect Being feels enough to me.

6- Beacon is more suitable than Phase Bomb if you have any type of external tanking. Barb merc is very useful, and with proper gear, can take you down pretty far within the labyrinth.

7- Some of the gear recommendations do not take in consideration the trapsin’s particular way of increasing her damage. IE: Best in slot for gloves is Lorekeepers, the firedance skill raises damage significantly. Set is extremely hard to best, requiring all BiS pieces together with UMO/Occult effigies fitting accordingly. Do some research on this, you will find better options. BTW Rabbit’s Foot T4 is better than Crafts for spell damage. Very endgame, %spell damage is superior to + skills to increase damage.

8-Shadow Refuge. 1 point, 40-50% physical damage reduction depending on skill level. Must have.

Weapon: 20%ED and/or 100%AR Not true

well it is true, just not useful to the build, is what you mean I assume. I agree. definitely oil of conjuration, even though it would only add like 3% trap damage

[Johnny Impak]

well it is true, just not useful to the build, is what you mean I assume. I agree. definitely oil of conjuration, even though it would only add like 3% trap damage

It increases damage by 33% of fire, lightning, cold and physical/magical spell damage. So more around 12% total damage. Hence why % spell damage is so much better on this build.

OP tried at least. Even though there are many mistakes, he made a guide, which I don’t have the knowledge to do beautifully myself. Guides are rare these days. I will help if I can

my apology, i misinterpreted my own logic when I wrote it, you're correct

[cnlnjzfjb]

Nice work！Finally here comes a trap sin guide！Appreciate it a lot！
Just one stuff in doubt:
I heard that the - enemy res in gears didn't work with traps, did it?

[Rusev]

I addet that oil there in the middle as option If you want to use beacon and catalyst trap and wait the 20 sec delay between detonations feel free to try.I however remember that at patch 1.1.0 sigma this happen
Phase Bomb:
Removed Next Delay, damage increased by 200%
Fuse duration decreased by 50%
Added a 5 second cooldown
Increased mana cost

and thats why points goes to energy.I need mana to cast alot from far No time for shadow refuge with Phase bomb.mele dont work very well with it.
Not sure if - enemy res in gears dont work.
