As for why people don't pick up the crit damage nodes near CI, you just have to give up too much to get them. You're either giving up mana or energy shield to get them most likely, which are things you can't really spare. Thanks for the response, but it would only take one point in +int to get that crit dmg, so not a lot of waste. And since we also use traps, would it not be better to go for global crit chance and crit dmg than to get crit chance for spells and spell dmg nodes, e.g. the ones right next to the starting point? Traps are spells.	Posted by blackspiral#2985 on Feb 16, 2013, 5:23:24 PM Quote this Post
I have a few questions relating to the build and I was wondering if someone could give me some insight please. 1. I don't know what variation of the build to go with. I'll be doing a lot of soloing so I don't know the most ideal class/build/gems. 2. What's the deal with the word "lightning" in the thread title? Where does lighting damage come into play? 3. How beneficial is Astramentis for a dual totem build? Thanks for anyone who answers my questions!	Posted by Twoshay#7800 on Feb 16, 2013, 6:59:26 PM Quote this Post

Traps are spells. And bear trap does not scale with anything that has to do with spell despite what the toolbar says.

What is the difference between: Increased critical chance Increased critical chance for spells And if there is any difference, why this character takes both nodes? I'm a bit confused here. Maybe for the traps? Thanks in advance. And sorry if this has been answered before, I didn't read the whole 95 pages :) IGN: Gonorreitor Last edited by Valmar#3550 on Feb 17, 2013, 12:36:31 AM	Posted by Valmar#3550 on Feb 17, 2013, 12:35:18 AM Quote this Post

Do you think faster projectile is bettet than iron will？ I currently have 300+str, but iron will only provides little bonus This may because i already have high spell damage% from wands So i want to know, have you tried faster projectile？ Casting speed, projectiles damage and speed also higher！	Posted by Vendetta00#2100 on Feb 17, 2013, 7:28:27 AM Quote this Post
im testing your luxury build iron will does not increase 60% damage for fire trap damage gained from str does not effect on bear trap faster projectile is better than iron will	Posted by Vendetta00#2100 on Feb 17, 2013, 10:55:41 AM Quote this Post
Hello, I've been following this guide for quite a while, and I love it so far! I noticed you changed your gear, so I can't remember what gems you used for traps. Could someone tell me some good supports for fire and bear trap? Thanks!	Posted by Thegoodlol#2125 on Feb 17, 2013, 11:57:09 AM Quote this Post

I run with a party for maps and I can freeze-lock most mobs easily, including bosses but I feel like I'm fairly useless in the damage department aside from my traps. Currently running GMP, and Ele Proliferation with increased crit dmg and my base DPS is 388.9 (I realize that DPS doesn't mean much, but I'd like to compare with others). Mine is at 800-ish in group, 1000+ when I dual wand. I'm running faster casting, increased crit dmg and GMP. IGN: Naforce	Posted by Naforce#4681 on Feb 17, 2013, 2:39:51 PM Quote this Post
