hoto or cresent moon for trap sin?

>>

you can shop

Anya for blue

Claws with +3 to traps.
you can reset her over and over again by entering and exiting the portal that is beside her.


If you get lucky you might see one that has +3 to traps,+ 3

Lightning Sentry and even +3 to

Weapon Block. (don't waste your time looking for god

Claws though)

there's only 3

Claws on

Anya's tab so shopping will take a long time...

Crescent Moon is cheap, 35 lit.

Pierce

build a Crescent Moon.
these

Claws are extremely rare. I have two

Claws with +3 to traps each and a better combination hasn't shown in about 5 hours of farming. yes, it is possible to get the perfect combination (although you don't need

Weapon Block as your traps kill everything before anything gets near you) and even then getting +3 traps and +3

Lightning Sentry on one claw is nearly impossible.
the pool of combinations on the

Claws is so big and the amount of

Claws

Anya has to choose from is so small that it can take you months to farm this.

I would even go so far as to say that no one has these

Claws on bnet.
also, if you change to these

Claws you lose a lot of attack speed and faster cast rate. this means you put your traps down very slowly, which is bad.
speed is much better here.

long story short: get the Crescent Moon + Spirit and be done with it.

I'm completely with you on that one, just not worth the time spent. According to Maxroll the odds of rolling the most desired

Claws are 1/89,232,131 ;0 ;0

Crescent Moon is easy to obtain and provides - lightning resist win win.

find a claw base with max 3 sockets amd +3

Lightning Sentry; roll Plague in it until you get 2 skill.
You can wield 2 of these. Faster base is better for trap laying speed.

Using standard MF gear https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/ii0106dl#5

CM + Spirit

Monarch
Against

Baal (non immu to light) => 1-10,953 (1-6445 and -70 resist)
Against Cow King (immu to light) => 1–3674 (1-6445 and +43 resist)

HOTO + Spirit

Monarch
Against

Baal (non immu to light) => 1–10,162 (1-7528 and -35 resist)
Against Cow King (immu to light) => 1–1656 (1-7528 and +78 resist)

Now using dual Plague with + 3 LS base
Against

Baal (non immu to light) => 1–12,598 (1-9332 and -35 resist)
Against Cow King (immu to light) => 1–2053 (1-9332 and +78 resist)

How about super expensive dual +6LS with 2 5/5 facets?
Against

Baal (non immu to light) => 1–15,582 (1-10,053 and -55 resist)
Against Cow King (immu to light) => 1–4222 (1-10,053 and +58 resist)

Facets gears: 6 from CS and 4 from

Monarch
Against

Baal (non immu to light) => 1–10,589 (1-5724 and -85 resist)
Against Cow King (immu to light) => 1–4121 (1-5724 and +28 resist)

So CM is the clear winner against HOTO.
Bis is still dual +6LS with 2 5/5 facets

Never played a trapper, but isn't Mosaic best now with the (maybe) large bonus to lightning skill damage? Now that they patched this trait to work on traps.
Or maybe the +2 skills on Plague is better? I find it hard to believe...

I Like Silence for trappers the 20 ias and 75 @ res makes running

Burst of Speed more viable in hell difficulty and the cast rate on hoto is Useless outside of

Teleport, IMHO the -1 skill for its other benefits are worth it if you have the

Vex for hoto Id save it for this instead, its a better budget option, although the +6 LS

Claws double faceted are your BIS.
