Kick/trap gear advice.

Kick/trap gear advice.

I'm working on my kick/trap hybrid and I figured out how the gear I have for her would add up for skills and such. Here's what I have so far.

Helm: Guillame's
Amu: 20 res Mara's
Main weapon: 39 res HoTO
Alt weapon: Perf CTA
Body: Enigma
Shield: Spirit (I haven't made this yet so FCR isn't known)
Gloves: Trang
Belt: Nosferatu's
Boots: Gores
Rings: Ravenfrost and Manald
10/19 Anni
10/13 Torch

Merc:
Insight polearm
Vamp gaze
Fort armor

My problem lies with my gloves and belt. My resists in hell after Anya quests are only 22 fire/75 cold/57 lightning/57 poison and I was hoping to use BoS for trap speed. The other gloves/belt I have are Lava Gouts (IAS and fire res) and a String of Ears but I could easily trade for other things. What should I do? Just use Fade? Swap the gloves/belt for maybe Lava Gout/Credendum for some more resists and use BOS instead? Trap speed with this current setup is pretty slow because of the lack of IAS. I could even trade my perfect CTA for a lower one plus a higher Maras and some res charms or something.

Re: Kick/trap gear advice.

Your kickspeed is useless like this with Fade too. You can skip the trangs, I don't think you will have a really high level Venom and with worst Spirit you will still hit the 65% FCR bp and with the best Spirit you still won't reach the 102% bp.

This gives you the freedom to get 20 IAS gloves which should bring your kick speed to 3 frame follow up and your trap speed to 11 fpa, still using fade.

I'm not sure in which order you listed the resistances, but I assume the 11 is fire and the 75 is lightning? If you get Laying of Hands most of your Fire res problems are solved too and you might be able to run with BoS. Then you can switch the Nosferatu for SoE.

I checked some of the stuff I have for her and it was higher res than I thought, so it wasn't so bad. If I swamp the Trang gloves (my Venom is level 13 with CTA) for LoH and the Nosferatu for SoE, then my resists are 72 fire/57 everything else. Not TOO bad, I can fill that out with some res SCs and a better Maras. I could also socket my Guillame's with an Um rune, that brings me up to 75/72/72/72, which is fine with me.
