Hi! Thanks for the build, it's my first ever trickster (i always play new class for new league/race), so here few questions.

I feel dps quite low for even t6-7 maps where i'm am (especially with breaches). So maybe it's wise to put in some spell dmg/chaos dmg skill points?

Also life total sucks and i need 3 life/1 mana flasks. How do you get with 1 life only? I know my flasks are shit, but after buying bisco i have no chaos left:)

I played casually 3-4 hours per day, so it was 4 days leveling and i played last day all day, cause i'm on holiday. So my char's gear suck:(

You may want to check out my Trickster's skill tree - I've taken the dmg nodes and I've enjoyed it thus far!

Character name: Yusneakying

Note that I am aware that this character is in Harbinger league and its not a great reference if you're going for the same result in a 10-day league.

Thanks for the guide! really enjoyed the build 1-90 in the turmoil race, thinking of doing it again for mayhem unless I run across something else that looks interesting.

What I had -mostly- self found;


I actually managed to bring in around 10ex in drops, didn't really invest anything into gear because it felt good enough to get me to my goal.

Hey guys,

Quick reminder for everyone:

I have my final exams going on for my eduction which ends in less than 4 weeks now, at the same time I'm applying for jobs without success, for now... Sadly, I'm not a fulltime streamer but I do my best to keep up with all the threads.

For those of you who don't know, I am trying to keep up with Discord, Stream, PMs, Forum Threads & YouTube at the same time.

So if any questions in the past few pages that I missed are still unanswered, please fire again and I'll do my best to get them answered now!

thanks. I bought breath of a coucil, tho it upped dps only by 2.5k. Still dagger was more safe option with 6% block.

Tho i only at t10 maps now, so maybe in bigger maps the difference will be greater. Shield charge with +as dagger is better.

And the problem for healing was i didn't do the uber lab. Once i killed Izaro i put last 2 points into patient reaper and heal became quite good. Far better than it was.

Recovery Rate is completely insane in this game :)

hey ghazzy, im crossing fingers for patch notes to not nerf this build. I hope you can make to cover all your duties and to find job :)

Thoughts on what's been released so far? Spell Cascade Support could work nice with contagion.

Personally I don't think it will be an issue, but you never can tell. What I always look to be nerfed is whats dominating the play.

sc turmoil race 4.11%
harbinger sc at 2.78%
hc turmoil at 7.54%
hc harb at 5.70%

Aaaand they will nerf Vaal Pact in 3.1 :D

Thanks for the build. I also tried it to get 1-90 in turmoil race and it worked pretty well.

Got lucky with drops early on (Tabula Rasa and Lifesprig in Act1). Later I got the Cloak but didn't manage to get it 6l, but I also didn't feel the need of more survibility. Instead I tried to go a more damage glass canon oriented route :D. Worth mentioning in your guide is maybe Cherrubim's Maleficence (low budget) and Skin of the Loyal (high budget).

So I just bought Skin of the Loyal (2ex), Rathpith Globe, Grand Spectrum Jewels and Empower 1.
I was able to farm up to t13 easily (had no higher drops until I got 90).

Ended up with this gear:




Now I think about using this build in SSF next league. Maybe it can capitalize from pseudo 6l shaped/elder Items for buffing damage of contagion. Or +1 gem rare Chest with other mods.

What does the frenzy charge in the passive tree do for the build?
