[3.22] Triggerbots Impending Doom Saboteur

Greetings Exile! I'm LieAndSMile, here is my Saboteur Doom blast build!

You may check out an up-to-date version on poe.ninja:
Poe Ninja

Current Build Variations :

Kulemak Version

Shako Helmet Version


So I decided to try how Trigger bots are working with one of the meta Skills, and it is pretty solid.
The main difference from Occultist and Pathfinder is that we do not cast our things directly, instead it does our Trigger bots which provides some benefits and big mana problems :)
So in this case, I believe that Saboteur is in the middle between Occultist damage and Pathfinder survivability.

Pro's

- Possible starter, as soon as you get to LVL 31 and buy this game, it can be used in 4link with Curse Ground support. Detailed in Leveling
- Huge potential for build investments
- Possible to combine different uniques/rare items, not a single unique build
- Good clean speed
- Cleans any map modifiers
- Interesting archetype of trigger builds
- Huge AOE, full screen in the end game


Con's

- Not a face tank build, you have to dodge the stuff
- Can be outplayed by some map mods which requires snapshot one gem at the start of the map. (Detailed in mapping)
- Unable to do "Curse immunity expedition mod"
- Mana cost is a big deal in early game




Some stats:

Offensive

This is without Turning on Malevolence, which I use with divine blessing.
If you're running 1 hand with shield, it will be like 2x lower.




With Offensive aura turned on:



Defensive

70k EHP, Even thought I have just 3.3k HP, but this was enough for me to clean almost whole content without dying and struggling. (I haven't done Uber exarch and eater)

Our Def layers are:

Evasion - 70% with Flask

Armor - 70% with Flask

Spell suppression, can be done up to 100% - right now 80% and Lucky mastery
Poisoned enemies can't crit us

Born in shadow's ascendancy - Nearby enemies are blind, 15% less damage from blind enemies

Bomb Specialist - 20% chance to take 50% less Area Damage from Hits + Solaris pantheon, which doubles that amount and gives us 40% chance to take 50% less Area Damage

CWDT Molten Shell - 2000 damage lvl 11

Elemental and Chaos Hit mitigation using - The Fourth vow unique Armour (Armour also applies to Chaos Damage taken from Hits
) combined with Xibaqua Glorious Vanity.(50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage
+5% to maximum Chaos Resistance)

Life/ES leech from the Tree

3.22 League Start

I heard about Vixen's gloves nerf after 3.22. Wonder if it will be possible to scale damage in other way, any ideas? =D

Hello !
I see i'm not alone following this path.
For reference, I chose the "Critical Strike" way :

I'm melting everything right now but ubers are still a bit hard without mechanical knowledge.

However I managed to find a balance where I can sustain impending doom mana consumption thanks to the 10% instant leech.

Sup!
I was made this build in crucible and i have one problem. Where i take Whispers of Doom at passive tree Doom Blust just stoped work. All cursed just stay on the target and not make something. Can you give your advice, pleace?
P.s. When i play without Whispers of Doom all works

Was a fun build during Crucible, thanks for this!

Hi there, I'm sorry for late response, going to start this league with this build and update it if possible.
I assume you had 1 curse less than I had, which doesn't require +1 from whispers of doom.
In my case I have 3 curses in gloves (Punishment, Enfeeble, Despair) and the Main one I cast - Temporal chains.
Basic Curse limit is 1, then I have +1 from gloves and +1 from Whispers of doom, at this point 4th curse overrides and triggers Doom blust.

Nice deeps you have there. It seems to have more damage compare to average crit Occultist setup but less survivability. However, with such DPs you probably won't experience any issues if enemies dying fast :)
