In my personal opinion: Not worth it. Even if you can get all the stuff for the build, you're only looking at a difference in 1-7s faster recharge over a cheaper build that can increase you and your henchmen's survivability.
Any other tips and stuff, procs and the like?? Also is it worth keeping triage beacon or try and fit in heal other. I see a lot of views but not many replies.
This is a build I threw together that's based off my Robotic/Traps' build. It won't work quite as well in some instances because there's no Protector Bot bubbles, but for the most part you're looking at high marks in both resistance and defense for the henchmen and good end efficiency.
Notes:
---
- Poison Trap might seem under-slotted, but it does it's job all the same with only Recharges in it. I've been running it for a very long time with that same slotting and found no trouble.
- Hell on Earth is the Aura Mule in this case. You could diversify one or two of the Auras into the Demonlings so you could get more out of the Living Hellfire, but I'd consider this setup a better use of the slots and power. It's still a decent damage buff and the Hellfire will be pretty tough.
- Crack Whip has a KB set for the Recharge/KB Protection primarily, but it's still an alright attack for the de-buff and mitigation.
- Charged Armour is a great toggle because it reduces the three main damage types by nearly half(Which occurs before Bodyguard, so it's also less damage dealt to the henchmen. Soul Mastery's toggle is good as well, but has more emphasis on exotic damages.
- Provoke is in this build. If you've never tried it, I strongly recommend giving it a try. It goes a long way in giving you more control over a battle, and is a huge boon to henchmen survivability.
- Caltrops has two less-than-common Purples in it, and Demon Prince has three. This isn't necessary if you don't want to bother with it, in which case I suggest switching out for Damage/Recharge Air Burst and Detonation in the case of Caltrops, Acc/Dam/End and Damage/ Blood Mandate with a Slow IO for the Demon Prince.

So is it worth using scorpion shield so your defense is well over being capped or using charged shield
Quote:
I'd say you've better off with having the Resistance in conjunction with the defense, so if your defenses fail you have something to keep you safe from most damage(Traitors come to mind as an enemy that will cascade-crash pure defense if even one hit gets through).

When you get him to level 38, could you come back and tell us if the Demons blow up like Zombies/Bots, or like Thugs/Ninjas/Merks?
Please, please, please???? I've been dying to know.
So anyway lvling my new demon/traps mm up and I made a build that focuses primarily on recharge to get my trap devices up faster however having never made a traps to 50 before I'm wondering if it's worth all the dough for it. Also in seekers I have the purple stuns and I'm wondering whether its correct to enhance the stun or to enhance the tohitdebuff which would help out my def. Any other build help would be appreciated.
