[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)

Isn't the buffs to evasion/dodge you get from Acrobatics a big part of this build's survivability? Sorry, I don't fully understand the mechanics. Thanks for your comments!

Using evasion from flasks and gear you can usually achieve a decent amount of chance to evade attacks. Attack dodge from Acrobatics and spell dodge from Phase Acrobatics are separate rolls. You can read more details about how they interact with each other on the wiki, but in general most of the deadly big hits are telegraphed and should be manually avoided. When you play a build that makes use of MOM+EB, energy shield becomes a big factor of your EHP. Taking Acrobatics reduces the value of ES you get.

Ultimately, if you feel you are not lacking in EHP and are comfortable with the dodge that Acrobatics gives then that is your preference.
I switched to MoM+EB recently, dps and survivability increased drastically however at t15 maps, I lack dps to clear it fast enough. Sometimes I got 1-shot as well. I'm short on currency right now (1 ex and 50ish c)

Here is my pastebin.https://pastebin.com/bEwb9teh

Can you give me some advices to improve my dps and survivability.
Thanks.

I'm having a major issue with my ES. Im running EB + MoM. Would anyone be so kind as to look at my profile and see what the easiest way for me to increase my ES would be? I can't even break 1k ES atm. Thanks


Respec your ascendancy. Get rid of Weave the Arcane and Swift Killer and get Ghost Dance and Escape Artist. Your current setup is more suited to the MoM version of the build (without EB).
Hello,

Thanks so much for posting this guide! I'm a fairly new player (started in Betrayal with an Arc Elementalist) and still trying to get the hang of things.

This is my current progress on the Soulrend Trickster. I'm level 89 and just finished the final Labyrinth. I can take down mobs in tier 12 maps but struggle on boss fights.

I have been aiming to transition to the EB version but it seems as though there is a massive currency jump between the level of play I am at currently, and where I'm required to be to switch to EB.

Currently, my goal has been to save for a 6L chest that would allow me to successfully do the respec. My current chest I bought for about 1ex so I can sell that, and I have another 1ex and 53c in pure.

Is that currently my best bet for continuing to upgrade? I also have a Cospri's Will I found and six-socketed myself, but I don't know if it's worth it to try and 6L it myself. It's currently 5L.

Thanks in advance for any help. I've really enjoyed playing this build as it's taught me a lot more about the game. There is a ton of nuance to learn and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I'm not as knowledgeable as some, but I think you could go EB if you focused on getting a better ES helmet and an ES shield. I'm EB based mostly on that combo and I'm doing great, t15/16 maps are super easy, red elder down, shaper down.

I'd also personally get those 2 damage over time nodes instead of the life regen node on the way to the chaos damage near the start point.

Had to show this off somewhere...really proud of this guy. Running 4 purities + discipline + clarity + malevolence while also bleed/freeze/stun immune from gear and jewels. But also still doing millions of dps. Lvl 26 single resist purities plus discipline. **working on capping cold resist so I can release purity of elements in favor of aspect of spider. Only big dps loss is the lack of zealotry...



Oh yea...and 95% extra run speed BEFORE flasks

Awesome, thank you! Dot nodes sounds good - I prioritized life nodes while I was leveling and haven't respecced all of them yet.
