[3.8] Demi's Infinite Tinkerer, the Lightning Trap Saboteur (EVERYTHING/BUDGET VIABLE)

I prefer the mechanic of traps to mines. Traps are really quick when you can just throw them at enemies like grenades. What comes to DPS, I feel like I got pretty close to Arc Mines. I know for sure that Mine builds do not come even close to these defenses. The build works with Loreweave, but the Life Gain on trap triggering is hard to beat, and the Loreweave would need too many off-colors with a good corrupted implicit to keep up with the DPS.

I also wanted to play a character that can do ALL content with ease and I achieved that. I dont like glass cannon builds where the point is to kill faster than you get killed. I like very well balanced characters with damage, utility and defense. With my character pretty much everything in the game gets 1 shotted, Shaper phases take only as long as his attack animation takes etc., but is still very satisfying to play.

Movement - Shield charge is for faster running and fortify. Flame Dash is for Innervate, Culling Strike, gets you over cliffs and clutter on the ground. Mostly I play the character like this: Throw traps into mobs -> Shield charge in -> Flame Dash out. Gives me Fortify and Innervate almost every time.

Dropped the Pierce Support for Lightning Penetration and got pierce from the passive tree instead.

For The Wise Oak I was able to get Reduced Damage taken from Fire and Cold. My lightning resist is 4% too high for being reduced aswell, but dropping that extra 4% would get very expensive at this point or I would lose another essential suffix.

The crafted items are done in such way that I have the best possible damage prefixes/suffixes in slots which have the worst regular mods for damage (like resistances or some random prefix). I have thought about a delve crafted stygian vise with Elemental Damage, Lightning Damage and Damage, but I would then have to find precious resistances elsewhere. With the current gear I'm exactly at the cap with fire and cold resistances (The Wise Oak keeps me over the cap in Ele Weakness maps).

+2 to Trap or Mine Gems Implicit is the best.

I havent had the time to delve deeper than 300 yet.

The source for shatter comes from the Abyss Jewel and labyrinth enchant on gloves (which hits for 40k) since I dropped Herald of Ice for Aspect of the Spider.

To Demi if he reads this: Since most of the mods haven't been in game yet, do you think this is possibly the strongest lightning trapper in PoE?
