[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)

Thinking about to start this build in hc, should i stick to this Thread or ghazzys?

Hey, I got really lucky yesterday and managed to get my first ever Headhunter out of a temple. Not really sure what to do though. Definitely see the potential just messing around with it but is it really worth it for this build?

Yo Guys!

Why Percect Form instead of QotF or Kintsugi?

Jolo0213 How do you cap your resists?

I'm lvling a Soulrend Trickster, but Im not sure what way to go: LL, CI, MoM + Life... etc, that's why Im wondering about the chests.

There's advantages to each. QotF gives a good chunk of movespeed and ES due to the ascendancy. It has life and resists which makes the strain of getting those stats on other pieces a little more relaxed.

Perfect Form gives you free Phase Acrobatics which is really strong defensively and also has life and decent ES. Free Arctic Armor is also there if you choose to socket it in.

Kintsugi provides similar stats to Perfect Form but also has a bit of fire resist and synergizes with Ghost Shroud recovery when hit.

You can see my character, I've got elemental resists on rings, boots, gloves, and helmet. Amulet and belt can help too if you're not using uniques.

Hey-o. I need a new chest plate, but I don't know what to choose Perfect Form or Kintsugi, could you check my character? Also can't roll 2R-2B evasion helmet D: To use bligh+totem, more often I use them not as damage boost, but as a decoy :D I think I am gonna stick with this shield for a bit, shield charge gives me ability to dodge many attacks in a row (hey, you don't need more evasion, if you can prevent that damage by dodging the hit :D) I have 800c as my budget, but I can try to squeeze and get another 100-200c if that will help boost my defenses.

Why i have only one soulrend projectile?

I've been using it, it's been a lot of fun for mapping. If you don't care for it though you can use it to fund a nice crafted bow with a lot of + levels.

I already mentioned the advantages to each chest on my post that you had quoted. It's a preference based on playstyle and content tackling. Your character is private so I can't really tell what you're working with currently. If you have trouble capping resists, Kintsugi might be better. If you can afford to cap resists, Perfect Form is great and you get free Phase Acrobatics and potentially Arctic Armor.

Use the jeweller method to color your helm if you're having trouble.

You don't have GMP in your setup.

Some people are picking minions nodes in the tree, why? Am I missing something?

Oh, forgot to remove the check from private characters. Gonna go and do that jeweller method :D
Thank you <3

The node spiritual aid on the far left makes minion damage apply to you

Really enjoying this build so far!
Running a 5L QOTF.
I'm at high tier maps - 15/16 and a few bosses one shot me.
Any advice on what I could switch up / upgrade to help survivability?
I've been a little lazy on some gems and have some spaces, so any advice what could go in to improve further.
Have about 400c to spend..

I'm assuming your resistances are capped, so not going to bother doing the arithmetic for that.

1. Get some more +life on items that have a low amount (or even none).

2. Get the Devouring Diadem, use it for your auras. With an Enlighten gem and the Clarity cluster of passives, you can run a third 50% aura. Devouring Diadem gives you EB for free, which means that with some rerouting, you gain 3 passive points to spend on something else. Move auras into your Diadem, put Bane into your boots and move CwDT/ImmoCall to a wand.

3. Replace the mana craft on your left ring. You should have barely any unreserved mana, so things that affect mana pool or mana regeneration do nothing.

4. Benchcraft something in your right ring.

5. Consider getting non-ailment chaos damage over time (NACDOT) multiplier crafts on your wands. Point-for-point it's far more powerful than increased spell damage or increased chaos damage. Use PoB for exact figures.

6. Link CwDT/ImmoCall to Increased Duration Support. This support can be level 20 (isn't affected by the CwDT level restriction).

7. If your Energy Shield is fairly high compared to your life pool (for one-shot protection, a 7:3 ratio between life and ES is optimal), if you manage to squeeze in some 40 unreserved mana, you can add a level 1 Clarity and combine it with a Watcher's Eye that gives you a mini-MoM effect for 6-10% while affected by Clarity (on top of the 30% you already get from the MoM keystone).

8. If you still need more tankiness, consider switching to 1H + shield. The combination of Cerberus Limb with Lioneye's Remorse gives you quite a bit of life and ES. Instead of LR, you can also use Ahn's Heritage with 2 Fragility jewels and get +3% maximum resists and permanent Onslaught.

I've built my Trickster to be fairly tanky, considering I'm going for level 100 with a lot of solo play and as such don't want to get hit by the experience penalty too often. You can take a look at my profile for ideas. The only expensive items in there are the 6L chest (4 ex) and the Diadem with Soulrend enchant (5 ex). Everything else I got on a budget (each item below 100c, some way below).
