[3.25] The Infused Trickster | Demo videos up : T17 Fortress | T17 Citadel

It uses Eldritch Battery, so no mana required.

Just a quick beta update for 3.19

With the loss of "15% mana efficiency" Mastery, it's necessary to remove an aura. I can remove Vitality (currently level 18) or just put it at level 3 and I'm ok.

The new gems (Galvanic Field, Lightning Conduit) are not yet integrated into PoB.
I will replace Frost Shield with Galvanic Field. And I'll have to test Lightning Conduit ingame to see if it's better than Crackling Lance (or Shock Nova).

I'm willing to go for a full shock version, by removing Secrets of Suffering and taking the new High Voltage cluster. A quick simulation shows that we'll need 50% effect of shock to get the same DPS as with 6% Brittle.

I have yet to choose the Ascendancy notables.

GL & HF :)

Version 3.19 beta

!! High Voltage !!

(Current 3.18 PoB : https://pastebin.com/KsAz6BN9 )

* For the moment, the DPS in 3.19 is inferior, but it will depend on the shock effect we can get and how useful Galvanic Field will be.

* No more Secrets of Suffering

* Frost Shield to be replaced with Galvanic Field

* Faster Casting, because gotta go zap zap !

* 6 different Masteries (Crit, Elemental, ES, Life, Lightning, Reservation) for the new ascendancy notable Polymath = 18% more dmg, recover 6% of Life and ES on kill

* Frenzy charges can be generated with Vaal Cold Snap. If I'm not mistaken, all charges should last 30 sec for us.

* I've put a conservative estimate of 25% shock. Can go up to 65% with the Mastery.

* The reworked Singularity sceptre is included.

* The 4pts to Sanctum of Thought can be replaced by another cluster for crit or more ES, for instance. Craft your own prototype ;)

* I'll have to try Phantasmal LT again. Seems worth it to get uber shocks ;)

Good luck and stay steampunk, Exiles :)

Thx for the 100k views !

First updates for 3.19

PoB : https://pastebin.com/FhdkMAvF

* I've removed SoS.

* Galvanic Field : very much yes. For bossing, this looks excellent ! (my gem is barely levelled atm)

* Lightning Conduit : no, too clunky, especially when channeled. It can only strikes shocked enemies, so it's too unreliable.

* For the moment, I'm going LT CwC Shock Nova ! Quite good actually.

* Frenzy charges generated with Cold Snap.


First demo video coming soon !

Thanks for the update! Are you manually using Galvanic Field? Would there be any merit in attempt to automate it or is it just for harder packs and bosses?

I've used it just for bosses.
I'm using Added Lightning Dmg and Inc Crit Strikes.

Also, I generate Frenzy charges with Cold Snap. Since these charges last 30sec, it's not too troublesome.
If I automated a skill, that would be Cold Snap.

Good luck and have fun ;)

Some improvements and testing

* I'm using Phantasmal LT again to inflict max shock with the Stronger Pulse.

* For farming, I've gone back to Crackling Lance. Shock Nova is still ok though. It's more a melee-range defense, as it can help to freeze enemies thx to Call of the Brotherhood conversion.

* I've tested a bit Galvanic Field on 4L, with Inc Crit Strikes, Inc Crit Dmg and Awakened Added Lightning Dmg... but it seems to do 0 DPS. I'm honestly puzzled.
I start a boss fight with LT, shock the enemy at 40% at least, then I put Galvanic Field (which is supposed to do more dmg based on the amount of shock), but frankly it does nothing.
I don't know if I'm doing smth wrong ? Or I'll just use it for the shock chance and duration against bosses.

* I have linked Wrath and Cold Snap to Inc Duration. Wrath with Divine Blessing now lasts 19 sec and Cold Snap 7sec.

PoB : https://pastebin.com/twsMxqAm

* I'm levelling the character (I want to reach level 95) so I'm using Wellspring of Creation on the Atlas tree : enemies deal 25% less dmg and have 50% more life.
I've tested the shock effect in various situations, including maps with another 50% more monster life (total : 1.5*1.5= 2.25 = 125% more). I can reliably get 40% shock effect on bosses, Harvest rares, Rogue Exiles and so on. Sometimes, I briefly go up to 65% (e.g. the Plateau totem bosses).

Good luck and have fun :)

By the way, if you like Lightning Tendrils, you probably like Palpatine and all things dark side. So you might be interested by the 3.19 version of my "Jedi" Energy Blade Hierophant, because he has just gone dark side ! Now using Rage Vortex with Chainbreaker and it's quite fun to play, as you can see in this teaser.
Who is the master and who is the pupil ? ;)

This build could be good, however there is no walk-through for levelling for the new update. Having loaded the PoB for 3.19 and started to follow it, I die all the time in Tier 2 and 3 maps even. Something is not working. The older build was more effective.

There must not be a lot of differences to level this new version.
Go with the Singularity sceptre up to yellow maps, maybe low tier red (t11-12). No more need of a Secret of Suffering sceptre. Rest of the stuff is the same : a Viridi's veil setup + Skin of the Lords body.
Shield can be Light of Lunaris if you don't find a better rare one.

If you want, I can check your char with a PoB, or if you set your characters to public.
When I played the build in Archnemesis league, I had a hard time beginning the Atlas, to the point where I was considering giving up entirely. After some efforts and investments, things suddenly got really good.
