Clvl Req: A character must be this level to equip the item. All Claw weapons have 1 range, the same as most other one-handed weapons. Range: Goes from 1 (least) to 5 (most). Each 10 is equivalent to an normal SIAS item. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower. Weapon Speed: A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item, and it factors in when you get to gamble for this item type as well. Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. 5% of the total weapon physical damage in bonus. All Claws are 50/50, which means every point in Str and Dex adds. Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Check the actual Weapon Speed in this table to compare their true rates. The in-game hover speed on claws tells you virtually nothing since 6 out of 7 are always “Very Fast”, and all of them with any sort of SIAS/IAS/GIAS modifiers will always be “Very Fast”. This build will take away some survivability but adds an extra 10 or so levels to your Lightning Sentry allowing you to deal a lot of extra damage.The monster that drops the Claw must have an Mlvl as high or higher than the Ilvl of the item modifier to drop it. Amulet – Maras or a rare that gives Assassin skills, faster cast rate, and resistances. Armor – Dusk shroud of mage plate Enigma.
This build will give you plenty of resistances, faster hit recovery, and faster cast rate while still dishing out some solid damage. One will prioritize damage while the other prioritizes tankiness.
We’ll be going two different builds you can go depending on the type of playstyle you enjoy. You might need a few points if you use claws but you won’t need much extra.
Strength – Enough strength to equip all of your gear. Wake of Fire – This will be used to help kill any lightning immunes. Make sure to use Fade for extra resistances and reduced curse duration. Since Shock Web is a timer skill that lasts for 3.6 seconds, you’ll be switching it with Fire Blast to cast during its downtime. Keep your Shock Web on your left click and use that while your traps are down. Lay one Death Sentry with your Lightning Sentrys to get corpse explosion. Lightning Sentry is going to be your main source of damage in this build.
