that's ok but i reread your conversation on steam.. and what was suggested is not really a trapper.. it is just a melee (spear) or archer (bow) with side points on traps.. a true trapper is a toon with stat points and gear aiming to make traps as strong as possible.. meaning all or most of its damage comes from traps
like this character by icefreeze this is a good example of a true trapper brigand
https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=688.msg6943#msg6943I'm not saying a melee or archer is weak.. it's just not a true trapper brigand.. like for example i have a mage summoner (earth + nature) and i have side points on pets.. that doesn't make me a petmaster.. it is still a mage with side points on pets.. that's because my gear is for making my spells stronger, not making my pets stronger
so if you want a true trapper brigand, i think icefreeze can help better.. i can help too but they are all "i thinks".. or if you want a spear or bow brigand with side points on traps, then ask the guy.. it is easier for self-farmed anyway.. in fact, just 1 or 2 years ago that's how i would've built my brigand, with only str and dex and no int.. then with side points on traps.. but after seeing icefreeze's vids, i saw there was something lacking on my theorycraft that i doubted for a long time.. if i am to build a brigand now, it will be closer to icefreeze but with less points on dex and more points on str so i can swap captain's signet with a pet ring + monkey kings.. but that's harder for self-farmed
and your titancalc link is wrong.. you should copy the return link at the bottom of the page
edit: i don't post vids as much as i used to anymore.. after spending time on this thread.. i know what the next one will be
