This build guide is so disappointing. It seems like a fantastic build, created by a very talented, intelligent, and capable man - but the guide itself is very shallow and lazy.

Compare the details and info in this guide, to the Cyclone guide I am using on my other character: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1819239

They just don't compare. A lot of things missing in this guide, leading players to take guesses. Like for example, it tells you to use 4L with Arc+Trap Support+Trap & Mine Damage+Multiple Traps. Then it tells you to grab some unique boots that have trap support within them, which frees up a gem that was previously taken by the Trap Support gem, but the guide makes zero mention of what you should put in that fourth socket now that it's free.

Also, another big one. No mention of other linked gem setups we can use to support this build. For example, that Cyclone build lists we should do Cast When Damage Taken + Immortal Call + Increased Duration for survivability. It lists we should get Blasphemy Support + Flammability to create a weakening aura around enemies. Stuff like that, this guide mentions nothing of the sort, leaving us to wonder what gems to socket in all the other gear besides are two damaging skills.

The guide is too straightforward, doesn't give a lot of options or hints or tips or explanations. When telling us to do something, it should explain why, and why it's better than other options. Etc, etc, etc.

This is potentially one of the best builds in POE, matched with one of the worst guides. It's incredibly frustrating.


The PoB file tells you all the gems you need man... Read.
LV 87 with ok-ish gear in red maps now (Shims, shaper gloves, 5L Tink's); couple comments on my experience thus far:

1) Resilience - If you're looking for a more mellow/steady experience, I highly recommend taking "Born in the Shadows" for your final U Lab ascendancy point over "Explosives Expert". The AOE blind effect is akin to having a Stibnite up all the time and is incredibly helpful for activities like Delve where close quarters encounters are unavoidable. It's also just great for normal mapping; really cuts down on the random rips from diving into packs a bit too quickly. Arc Traps / Spire already do an obscene amount of damage even on a 5L; damage isn't an issue here without DE.

2) Shaper Gloves - Get these asap w/ trap support and +1 traps. One of the best upgrades you can make on gear and you can get a decent pair with 60+ life and one resist for ~50c or less.

3) Mana Regen - Strongly recommend you pick up an amulet with ~40%+ mana regen rate. Nice QoL perk and prevents most mana issues if you're running without a mana flask. I'd still use a mana flask on longer Shaper/Elder fights though.

Overall, easy mode build; pretty solid.

I have a question regarding the Boot slot. Have you given any consideration to running Inya's Epiphany since the build goes heavy on Power Charges?

Sorry if you've already answered this, thanks for the build.

Hmm this is actually a very solid recomendation. Inyas could provide extra smoothness to power charge uptime, at the cost of no resists

I picked this beauty up yesterday. And I agree about the shaper gloves which
have a nice bonus of throwing that extra trap pretty close to your character which would generally be bad but I have found with the Syndicate it is good.


heyo :)
really enjoying the build so far but i am wondering where you get your power charges to make shimmerons good. so far, blast cascade barely gives me any power charges because i guess the chain reaction trap triggers dont count ?

dunno

Hello thanks for the Build. In 1400 hours of PoE i have first time killed uber atziri with this build. its very powerful but as you said u need to be careful and avoid stuff else u get one shotted easily.


i crafted some items and wonder how to use them // im selling them too


How to deal with shimmeron's lightning damage from power charges? I always need use my life flask. Its a bit annoying...

They do count, but they are indeed counterproductive since you trigger all traps at once.
generally speaking: blast cascade is good when needed (when you throw a lot traps non-stop and they trigger one after another), but chain reaction is "always good" because it is a straight more dps output.
