3.3 Blinding fire Elemental hit trap deadeye


Introduction
This build relies heavily on blind to deal huge amount of damage on enemy and as a defense layer. Due to the lack of life on gears, Mind over matter and acrobatic are also used as defense.

Pros and cons
Pros
-Good ability to sustain mana/life
-High damage output as long as your enemy is blinded
-Good chance to avoid attack, high mobility
-Budget
-Can do most map mods, temporal chain and unlucky dodge chance is annoying, but doable
-Good clear speed thanks to chain and AoE impact

Cons
-Need specific gears and they are fated uniques => Hard for ssf
-Fragile af, and your chance of survival is based on RNG, so praise RNG before each map run
-RIP blinding aura radius 2018-2017
-Technically not a that good build (good damage but ultilities = OMEGALUL)

Required Item


Gear explanation
Spoiler
Weapon

Corona solaris grants global crit chance and crit multi against blinded enemy and 40% light radius in total, they also give us the skill "blinding aura" that can blind all enemy nearby. The light radius increases/decreases are also applied to increases/decreases of area of effect of blinding aura. you can also socket an increase aoe gem into one of your wands to get more aoe. More detail about "blinding aura" is available here https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blinding_Aura

Amulet

Blinded enemy can't evade attack thanks to the amulet "the Effigon", which eliminates the need of gear with accuracy rating, easier for us to gear up.


Ring

Pyre is somewhat "must have" item for the build, it converts 40% cold damage and gives some resistance and light radius, Burning damage bonus is not that great, but overall, it gives us more benefit than a Call of brotherhood
I prefer a rare ring with ele damage with attack, life and resistance over Call of brotherhood, if you want more damage, you can pick up the call of brotherhood, but you must find more res and life somewhere on your gear

Body armour

Tinker skin with Eldritch Battery will help you sustain mana/ES to use trap and grant frenzy charge. A belly of the beast can be OK, much tankier and more res but you will rely much more on clarity/ mana pot/ siphoning trap to sustain.

Glove

This is an interesting item, thanks to this glove, we don't need any 6 links, thus reduces the cost of gears. I managed to snatch it for 5c iirc.

Helmet

A rare helmet with life/strength/resistances will serve you well

Boots

Atziri's step has medium amount of life, good movement speed and some dodge chance. If you want better boots, a rare pair of boots with life, res and move speed will be lots better and open possibility to use call of brotherhood

Belt

Rare belt with life/ele damg/ res will be good, if you can ballance res, you can craft trap damage on the belt

Jewel

combat focus jewels are required, rare jewels with life/ crit multi/ resistance if you need more resistance


Completely budget gear set
Spoiler



Ascendancy
Deadeye gathering wind > far shot > ricochet > enless munition
Why not saboteur? this is interesting question, with saboteur, blinded enemy deal less damg, more regen, immune to ignite/shock and more ultilities, but you need to get a GMP which is bad for your damage and you are a bit slower than deadeye.

Pantheon
Major god: Full upgraded soul of lunaris is a must to help you survive
Minor god: Garukhan for better survivability and some movespeed, ryslatha for better sustain

Gem link
Movement skill: Lightning warp + less duration + faster casting
Mana sustain: Vaal clarity + increase duration ( + empower + enlightened)
Anti nuker: cwdt + immortal call + increased duration + phase run
Ele hit setup 6 links: Trap + elehit + trap and mine damage + ele damg with attack + cluster trap + slower projectile
Ultilities : decoy totem, siphoning trap, bear trap, stone golem

Skill tree level 86

Offense

Defense with MoM


Leveling
Spoiler

I used arc trap for leveling, as soon as i can equip eclipse solaris, i use ele hit
You can also level with bow skills if you want
Try to grab trap nodes and keystones (mom/pointblank/avatar of fire) as soon as possible

Boss fight
Spoiler
I have a tendency to stand still inside t16 boss skills and run into shaper balls. But i managed to finish a red elder (not dead) and some t15s, i will update this build thread with end game boss pics if i can stop running into shaper balls



This is my first ever build guide, if you have any suggestion to improve these, just complain, probably i will be able to fix zem
