The "swap" that you made is:

40 dex (does nothing)
16 base HP
16 base mana
12% atk speed (does nothing)
32% HP
10 str

What I had was:

10 dex (does nothing)
40 int
Harrier (only 6% move speed helps from this)
18% HP
24% mana

Remember that mana is about 1/3 as effective as HP because of Mind Over Matter.

40 intel gives big boosts to your mana as well because of it adding to base, as well as % energy shield.

While your way has basically 14% raw extra HP, my way more than makes up for it in mana and 6% move speed is nothing to sneeze about. Movement speed is quite useful on this build because of it being one of the most mobile builds you can make.

I have also been playing a permafreeze trapper since 1.0.2, fast clearer and very fun to play! Been playing out with different combinations, pretty nice burst damage can be achieved.

hi, can i see your stats (DPS). I want to have a clear target for what DPS i should achieve (or at least close to it). I spend 11c for sunblast and 4c for the boots though (your price was so cheap back then, can't find any with that price at least not the one with buyout stated that I know of.

So pretty much all acc went to mana regen rate if possible and then resist.

So, for weapon what do i look for?
because wand cant use shield so it is opted out as options, right?
Dagger with spell damage is what I am looking for this build?


thank you for your guide

You can still use a shield with a wand, so either would work. The stats that will be most helpful for damage are crit chance and spell damage.

There are definitely other useful additions that can go with that, but those are the two that will cause significant help to your trap damage overall.

Hey Ark, first I applaud the build and performance.

WAAAAY back in the day (8 months ago?) I had a 3x Fire Trap Shadow and new that eventually trappers would be epic and it looks like you've got that figured out. :)

Your guide doesn't discuss much about recommendations while leveling (For example pick up 2 Fire Traps to hold you over etc, it would be nice to get some pointers for that.

In addition how do you feel this build works for Nemesis?

You can't use double of traps any more like the old days. Even though I don't use Lightning Trap, it is very good while leveling. I would probably say it's best to level a Shock Nova in your weapon swap and use Lightning Trap until you hit Merc.

I'm running it in nemesis but am only in cruel A2. I will say a great leveling tool is to use cold snap and lit trap instead of ice nova and shock nova. With those two, the damage starts out strong enough that you can kill things faster, and nothing is strong enough to get through it easily. Of course be leveling your gems on the side in your offhand, but they were MUCH more effective for me.

I have recently just switched to shock nova, but am still using cold snap since I don't have crit nodes yet, the passive freeze percent and extra chill of cold snap makes up for that till I'm properly geared/passived.

I am also running this build on Nemesis! Act 3 Cruel - here is my gear



Max resits - if i dont max resits i have some gear that can get me to about 1200 hp..but i prefer to run max resists for Nemesis.

I have some mana issues right now - most likely need to fix my flasks, and get reduced mana for clarity.



I am not sure if the wand or dagger is better, been testing both out. Hope the mana issues fix themselves soon! One of the best things I did was get a cheap shock nova like 14%Q and then get some GCPs..that 20% shock nova is out DPS my fire trap ATM!

I had a lot of mana issues in Cruel and the start of Merciless as well, then I got Elemental Equilibrium and suddenly I did a ton of damage from just the basic shock-fire-ice combo and didn't have to cast the traps more than at most twice to kill mobs. Also, Eldritch Battery helps a lot aswell. ^^
