Introducing Guardian HunaHard, the Sassy Trapper

(that should read 'Introducing' lol)
I haven't been playing much D2 lately due to RL stuff but hit it again about a week ago. I finished my Trapper who was parked at the Hell Ancients. Here's the lowdown on gear, stats and skills.

Character name  : HunaHard
Character type  : Hardcore Assassin

She was having a hard time with the Ancients (as we all do.) Even with the decrip on the merc's Reaper, the Ancients were quickly burning through him and setting their hungry eyes on me. In fact my 2 NDE's came from these guys. After the 3rd attempt I needed a plan. Step forward this beauty:

Spellsteel
Bearded Axe
Two-Hand Damage: 55 to 129
Durability: 35 of 35
Required Strength: 37
Required Level: 39
Axe Class - Normal Attack Speed
Item Version: 1.10+ Expansion
Item Level: 60
Fingerprint: 0x82dc74f5
+100 to Mana
+165% Enhanced Damage
Regenerate Mana 25%
Magic Damage Reduced by 12
Requirements -60%
10% Faster Cast Rate
Level 3 Decrepify (0/30 Charges)
Level 10 Holy Bolt (100/100 Charges)
Level 12 Firestorm (60/60 Charges)
Level 1 Teleport (20/20 Charges)

The decrip allowed me to slow the Ancients myself, gumby chimed in with the decrip on the Reaper's and LS/DS/FB and Mind Blast finished them off. The rest is history as they say. In fact I must say Spellsteel is a wonderful weapon that I will look forward to using on future guardians.

Future plans? Not sure. I have a TK/Tele Orb sorc running Hell Meph and Andariel so not sure what a Trapper is good for running. I hope to Guardian my Bowazon and Fishy soon as well: Bowie for Pits and Fishy for WSK. Any suggestions? Take care everyone.

Congrats on the guardian. Trappers are rather strong , I remember I finished mine with no deaths and the gear + resists were subpar. Only the ancients were a hard fight.

Nice to see Spellsteel in use , it's an interesting weapon.

Good job You could have written a bit more about the gameplay though, seems like you were in a hurry, hopefully to guardian next charcter Wish you good luck with that

Trappers are rather strong

Having recently made my first untwinked guardian with a trapper in Green with Envy tournament while being really undergeared, I can confirm this for sure

So not only did you get your trapper to summon a clay golem, but you also got him to swing a reaper's?

I just started a HC trapper (my first HC character), so hopefully I'll make a similar thread.
