New Player? - Here's why I prefer Arc Traps (Saboteur) Over Arc Witch

Much better than your first approach. Just a heads up for the future: avoid doing everything you've done in this thread and the response will be much more positive. Don't do it for me or anyone else, do it for yourself.

Regarding you following me, that was never the issue. It was claiming that you didn't know who I am when you atleast had to have an idea after finding my twitch through my guide. It just came off as very dishonest, and your behaviour afterwards didn't help.

The points in my first post still stand, but i'll take out the last few lines.

Well done my man and I am glad you changed the title and the thread can hopefully get back to its original intention.

I can see you've been around a while with all of the supporter things attached to you and I am glad to hear that your intention is just to help folks out here.

I actually have an arc trapper - 94 this league and 92 I think for previous one (my first league). As I said I love Sabo Ascendancy. It is really fun to lay a bunch of traps and open unidentified boxes without really worrying etc.

I am very tempted to try this witch for comparison myself as it looks very promising to be honest.

I think in the end it comes down to taste - in part at least. For instance initially I played a bunch of melee - reave, blade flurry, viper strike etc, all very viable except... I don't like melee all that much(something I kind of knew from my extensive WoW experience along with other games, except ironically I like melee Zero in Borderlands 2 - a first person shooter... go figure). I like casters and bows mostly and traps too in this game.

The biggest downside to traps is you have to be on the ball and almost preemptive because the delay when you are reacting to things is sometimes deadly (especially in delves). Also the delay to healing as it requires the traps to go off and can be pretty paltry compared leeching. I imagine the witch fares slightly better for reacting and recovering from things going south - but again I think it's a playstyle preference thing.

I'm trying this for Betrayal, unless patch notes say we removed arc because it's OP ;)

I am in LOVE with the Arc witch so 4x more arcs is REALLY appealing!

Is there a written guide?

I usually read during trips back to town.
I watched your video yesterday and it seems pretty straight forward, but I get a lot of "lore" out of reading guides, and if they are great, I read them many times!

Thanks, I'm sold :)

Arc traps suck. Stay away from them. And I'm not just saying that because that was my planned league starter and I don't want a bunch of people driving up the price of shaper gloves.

Totally not at all.

Nope.

But can your traps cast ON CRIT?
