What’s best weapon option, Crescent Moon with Faceted -5% light shield? or are people using spirit shield? Griphons of course im sure.
Would holding Infinity be best? I’d really like an OP scythe wearing assassin.
your assassin probably wont be that OP without dual mosaic 
the build seems pretty damn op once rdy to go but i dont like the initial charges setup they have to do when charges drop off or at the start of games.

CM is good starter maybe even good finisher tbh. Needs to be in PB I think.
The only point of FCR is if ur wearing enigma. If you are trying to hit a good BP isn’t a bad idea.
Griff is clearly BiS yes.
You could technically use self-weild infinity, but I think you’ll struggle with your attack speed and rounding out your build, but I haven’t looked into it that much.
Fairly certain that is a trapsin build.
It’s just the Mosaic that is OP, regular MA sin/trapper/kicker are not OP. Basically you build a trapper and re-spec once you are set with the gear to go duel mosaic.

Mosaic will probably be nerfed next ladder.
Trapsins have defiantly however got a massive power boost from working with facets even tho blizz messed them up. They always had good damage numbers. Cmoon+Griff+infin+Sunder makes the damage off the charts. Fade and claw block are good tanky options. Their FCR frames suck, but you’re just teleporting so thats cool.
Traps aren’t the best ability, but trapsins definitely moved up some slots in the rankings with this change.
uhh guys a bit of a noob question here but will ethreal claws lose durability with this build?
i got a pretty decent one to drop but its ethreal and im unfamiliar with the assassin mechanics so im not sure if i want to chance it
I’m pretty sure the MA sin hits. Are you kicking? maybe it is just the boots?
If you’re a trapsin you don’t have to worry though I’m not sure about if claw block costs dura either.
You should wear the claws without making the rune word and play the class. See if you lose dura. Then you’ll have your answer
im googling right now and apparently claw blocking reduces durability just like shield blocking, but only if the weapon is in a certain slot, i think the right weapon slot but im not totally sure. im getting a mixed bag of results here
but apparently kicking doesnt wear down durability on the claws, just the boots. but i really have no idea about the mechanics. if anybody is more familiar let me know
i guess if this build uses claw block im kinda screwed. thats all ive made of it so far
Well but maybe you could put it in the passive slot. But remember it needs to be the right type of claw to go into the “1” slot. The 1 slot is where the IAS comes from. Perhaps there are people who are techincally smarter than me in this aspect. Never really made many sins and it has been over 10 years since I last did.
If you use kicks as a finisher you won’t have an issue once charged up. The problem comes to charging, when you hit to charge up the skills you will use the claw durability. You can swap weapons to charge and then swap to it once fully charged but that is probably not worth the effort.
If he were making a trapsin though and using claw block could an eth claw be put to a proper side and take no dura loss?
ahhh screw it im not gonna bother with that as i’d rather have a call to arms on the backbar. well i guess i’ll keep on hunting though
it was a +2 dragon flight +2 wake of inferno +2 lightning sentry anyways and no phoenix strike so it probably isnt worth throwing a mosaic on anyways. but its the best one ive came upon so far anyways. i just thought i would inquire. appreciate it.
Trap sin was already one of the best if not the best starter class in game.
It was already OP if u know how to play it with CE now its just down right broken.

It looks like you don’t need a god tier blade even though it would be nice to have one to get the build to work. It does however seem like you need 2 of them. The rest is just a bonus. If you’re going for the build 2 guls for 2 temps isn’t that bad of a tradeoff considering the power spike those items givey ou.
i tried mosaic sin yesterday
and after couple hours i sold 2x mosaic and went back to trapper
trapper fit my playstyle on players 1 terror zones, dual mosaic wrecks player 8 content
and meteors were crashing my pc
allso i dont like 15 seconds to hit another mob or you lose all you build up
allso flashbangs are annoying
its definitly a strong build, but not for everyone

After the changes this season Trap sin is damn near on par with hammerdin like people are sleeping on how broken OP trapsin can be built right now

My tip for you is that you should keep your promises and leave D2R for a while
Cuz mosaic is the meme of the season right? Like it is better than trap.
Trap did get a huge buff probably is near an A+ build now which is great, but honestly since they messed up the buffs to traps 3 times maybe it is okay that no so many people went that route early on. But when mosiac gets the eventual nerf, trapsins will become very popular I think.
If I were a betting man…
I’d bet he only made this thread to serve and alternate purpose here before too long.
Paying attention to his posts over the last bit, I believe he’s smarter/more cunning/scheming than he lets on, and, this forum is not much more than some form of entertainment though getting people engaged, then enraged.
I mean, just last week he noted he had more game knowledge than all others on the board… now he wants help with a build?
It’s too bad… many months ago he was rather helpful in some of my threads where I posted ‘honest’ questions… now, it seems to me, this forum is nothing but a playground for his conniving mind.
When your life sucks, some people find relief in trolling. But the queen might just be in all over her head. Some jsp related trauma or some kind of epiphany that made her realise her own limits and failures that leads to overcompensating and troll rampage.
Either way it would be healthy for her to take a break
