i disagree with alot some of that...
WoF the reason it is better at level 1 is because FIRE damage has the longest damage animation, and it hits more consistently that any other type of trap.
pekson: you're wrong no character is "fragile"
i know the 2 top necros on battlenet they both have over 2500 hp without any 1.08 gear and still do over 550 bonespirt dmg
same with assassins, you guys dont understand that vitality is (usually) a waste if you have the right vita charms with secondary mods.
pumping str/dex is wheres it at =-)
one of my friends latest assassins doesnt use any 3/20/20's
has 100 vitality (considerably low) and has 1500hp, he has maxed dr with a ber 09 gaze 160/60 , ss, string
and with all of that his damage was well over 10k with all maxed charges..he used ethereal suwayahh of locust (4%ll)
..
the bartucs is debateable based on what skills you are planning on using...if you are sure you want to be a hybrid use the bartucs, if you want to use pure physical damage i would go with a cruel ethereal, it also depends how much ias you will need if you use a scis suwayahh/suwyahh you will only need
29% ias, which you means you will need 2 sources of ias no matter what you decide (20 ias amulet [cats eye], 15% atleast ias from a jewel {40/15 gaze or instead of 160/60 160/45/15})
the 29% ias is needed for highest speed with a non-elemental atk (7fps) 80% ias needed for 7 fps w/elemental atk
you will need 13% ias to have 7 fps with a dragon type attack
(talon/claw/flight)
an ethereal (200%) bartucs zod'd doesnt need any ias with a non-elemental attack and 0% ias with any dragon atk, and 22% for a elemental atk
the damage for ethereal tucs is (200%)= 160-290(not taking into consideration the +skills ed%/str/dex)
a good ethereal claw can easily attain 300+ damage,
you also have to remember that the claws that are cruel inherently have +skills, so you should keep that in mind if you are in the market for them
btw: the minimum damage is quite low i recently had a cruel 299 claw (scis suwayahh) and that had 160 minimum damage
dont forget about minimum damage max isnt everything (it is you just need to make sure you minimum isnt too low)
in my opinion i would take a cruel over a tuc's any day but then again i dont use hybrids much, so you have to decide for sure if you want to use alot of +skills
hope this helps=-)
