Trap Assassin Tips?

[DaethWalker]

My trapper is just a baby......42 or so, and she is still delighting in her Civerb's Icon amulet to let her spam traps.

Heh, I'm still wearing Civerb's Icon at lvl 74. Though I think I probably no longer need it, since I'm also using a Rhyme shield and Gloom's Trap. My mana bulb stays full nearly always, so time to twink or go shopping for a +3 traps amy. :P

As far as which traps to use. Alot depends on your playing style. I have a bad habit of lvling fast in cows, then going back and walking most of the acts solo. Hence, I maxed LS, WoI and DS.

I used LS nearly exclusively in norm and nm, with an occasional WoI and DS tossed in. DS was the trap of choice for cows. And in hell, I find myself using all 3, depending on the situation.

1 pt in SW, until lvl 73, when I actually started walking Hell. I then added about 8 to SM and will continue until my master can hold her own.

1 pt in all requirements and 2 in MB, though I may add another pt or 2 here.

Oh, and 1 pt in TS, which got me through my early lvls. :D

I'm still a little slow in Hell. But, I hope that's mainly due to a low lvl(43) merc and having not switched to my end-game gear yet.
