If you like putting things up and waiting for stuff to die and focus on yourself in terms of evading but it might feel clunky - you go for totems


If you like a faster clear and more convenient life - then go for traps - all you do is right click and run. :)

i put up 2 videos that shows the clear speed of the Arc Trapper build so youll know what im talking about :)

Hi Ryvenn, great guide and fun build so far after 2 acts.

Two questions:

1. You ay you took Alira for Bandits, but your PoB shows passives. Which did you settle on?

2. You took the 3 +10int at the very start instead of Trap & Mine DPS nodes. Do you think the ES and Mana / Mana Regen you get there outweighs the 4% ish DPS the Trap nodes would garner?

Also bear in mind that totems can take damage and then disappear, but traps cannot and can be placed with more abandon. Totems also have "redundancy" in the sense that they clear out enemies and then do nothing - traps and mines are one-time only. Another drawback of mines is that you need to get used to detonating them yourself.

Mines = Highest DPS possible - Clunkiest - Worse clear
Totems = Second Highest - Clunky - mediocre Clear
Traps = Not as high as Mines or Totems - Fastest Clear most convenient.
