I do not. Since i got my Enigma, I needed to tele so a Sprit Shield was
easy to get since I had one and I finally I got a HOTO. I do not say
two weapons are not good as you can put resist jewels, still it could
be long if someone need the fastest weapon and get two sockets in each
of them. Ten it could be nice to be always on Fade though another built
could always be on BOS. Then again most always switch between the two.


My thirth Trapper has only 1 point in the SWarrior and if he dies a lot
faster in bad situation, my Asn kills a lot faster so it is not a
problem. For people who would want to try this build keep in mind my
Asn has +7 to all skill (also +6 to trap) so my SM is at level 8 and
you need to be agressive with MD and COS. I do not have an Anni or a
Torch but I should eventually get both then my trap and SM will be even
stronger. I decide to give up my lvl 90 Asn (with level 22+ SW) then
the lvl 88 (with level 14 SW) when I noticed the difference in killing
speed. I still use ShockW now doing over 1-2000+ but not in all
situation since everything die so fast. The only problem are the TViper
but it is a problem for my merc only since they are easy to handle with
MB when the merc is dead.


.. Anyway, if you

I did use a tele weapon for my Necro but Enigma is so nice.

Poison doesn't kill a player/minion instantly. Snake projectile
is bugged (like nearly all monsters' elemental attacks). They
carry some (? or all?) of the vipers' physical damage. Since
poison damage is dealt on a frame basis, the physical damage
component has also become frame based.

There were many occasions where both my merc and SM turned
green, and SM survived but merc died. I would take it the SM
D-Flight and avoided most of the nasty clouds while the merc
walked through them.

Bane doesn't help with poison, except reducing the duration.
What is supposedly good is the flat DR per frame.

I see a similar phenomenon with my valk and my merc. Even though nothing
else (other than IM) kills him, when there are snakes he goes down like a
lead balloon. The valk, however, invariably survives. (Might merc wearing
eth Duress, Pride stick and Andy's visage. Might have to try a Glad bane.
However, his resists will suffer. He's only level 91, 55% res all if I take
off the Duress, still only 70% if I swap the Andy's for a Tal's)

Thank you for the clarification and I will for sure try to get a
gladiator's bane. Beside IM in Chaos, the TVipers are the only monsters
giving a hard time to my merc even if I tele or MB.

Another option:

Treachery on merc, which means 15% DR and 60% RA when Fade is
activated, besides that fact that he'll be jabbing in fast motion.
