Бандит - [3.19] Charge Stacking Explo Traps - Форум

********* WIP - Will be continually updated along *********

CHARGE STACKING EXPLO TRAPS!!!

Hello All! My name is Meow and I am a cat pretending to be hooman playing PoE.

This is one of the builds I created from the ground up and is the one I enjoy the most. This is the build I'll try to nurture and try to improve upon in the future.

The basic concept of the build is to get 2x void batteries and a badge of the brotherhood and go BOOM BOOM with it. Together with Charged Traps and Divergent Swift Assembly Support, having 10 power and frenzy charges results in a substantial DPS and QoL boost with a very low investment.

Pros:
+ Insanely Good DPS
+ Great at Bossing
+ Cheap and Scalable
+ Great League-starter
+ Able to do ubers (if piloted by more capable hands)
+ A refreshing approach to traps
+ If you like dancing, you'd like this build :D

Cons:
- Very squishy
- Mapping doesn't feel as good as a dedicated mapping build
- Not zoom zoom
- Depending on the pilot, can lead to 6-portal gaming (like me)
- NO EXPLO TRAP MTX

Disclaimer

I'd just like to say that I am not a good player nor am I claiming that I am. I just want to put this build out there because I believe in it and its capability. I'm hoping that some other player who is able to pilot it better might be able to take it further.

With that said, please take note of the following before judging the build:
1. I have a hard time dodging projectiles and attacks
2. Some deaths might make it to the showcase vids. I want it unfiltered and to emphasize that a few wrong moves or decisions would likely lead to a death.

Build Idea

I started this build on 3.18 and fell in love with it. Here are the requirements I set upon myself when doing it:

1. must be a league-starter
2. must be able to do bosses (I love bossing builds)
3. must be a capable mapper
4. required crafted items must be cheap and relatively easy to craft
5. must be scalable from league start to end

And with that, I settled upon this build: Charge Stacking Explo Traps Sabo!! Do take note though that the build is squishy and will get one-shot from time to time. So I suggest not taking this build to HC.

What this build offers is a fun time, not an easy time. If you like bossing and don't mind not being able to tank everything, you've come to the right place.

Enjoy!!!

Playstyle

Mapping:
- flame dash on packs
- throw some traps
- flame dash to another pack
- rinse and repeat
- be mindful of big hits though

Bossing:
- throw some traps
- before they come out of invul phase, throw a mark and bear trap
- cast zealotry and activate damage flasks
- enjoy the BOOM

League Performance

3.19 Lake of Kalandra

**wip**

We are number 1 for 3.19!! (and we don't use a mageblood)

POB Data

3.19 High-end POB

Notes:
- use community version
- POB only looks at 1 explosion per trap for DPS calculation (though I have no idea how many explosions per trap can hit the same mob)
- POB doesn't take into account effects from swift assembly and the mastery "5% chance to throw 4 additional traps"

For 3.19 high end pob only:
- in the tree, check if Precise Retaliation (from medium cluster) is allocated
- add Arcane Cloak linked with lvl 1 Arcane Surge. This is to add arcane surge from the Arcane Pyrotechnics notable from the cluster jewel
- in the custom modifiers section, type in "89% more damage". See notes 3 for the reason

Bandits

Kill all.

Ascendancy

Perfect Crime -> Born in the Shadows -> Pyromaniac -> Explosives Expert

Pantheon

Major: Soul of Lunaris

Low Budget

**wip**

High Budget/ Min-Maxed

Weapons:
- 2x Void Battery w/ 10% ele pen implicit

Amulet:
- Badge of the Brotherhood anointed with Overcharge
- implicits are a personal preference

Rings:
- Circle of Anguish geared for damage
- Amethyst Ring w/ strength and chaos resistance

Belt:
- must help fix strength and dexterity requirements
- must help fix resistances
- increased flask effect is very desirable

Jewels

Clusters:
- for large clusters, get 2x 8-passive physical damage clusters with Force Multiplier, Iron Breaker, and Master the Fundamentals

Gems and Links

Main 6L:

Aura Link (in Devouring Diadem):
Enlighten 3 -> Vaal Grace -> Herald of Purity -> Divergent Summon Skitterbots

Flasks

Map Mods

Avoid these mods:
- ele reflect (cannot use flame dash but otherwise can be run)
- reduced effect of auras (personal preference, can still be run)
- for invitations with hubris: be wary of "takes x% reduced damage from critical strikes" as this can substantially reduce dps
