[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)
" thanks! It took me a few days to get all the items and to understand everything you've said. I had to read it a ton of times and I learned alot from it so thanks a lot! I missed the gloves being linked separately so I bought a more expensive one. I went over the 100 chaos but not by too much as soon after I read your post, enlightment dropped for me so it was free. This build has double the dps my old build. I was definitely freaking out when I saw my mana was close to 0 after all the reserved. Funny to see that I could still spam spells with no issue. I think my survivality stayed the same or slightly improved even though my total life went down close to 500. I think Ill have to work on my flasks next to improve on survavility since things are getting much tougher. Thanks again! | |
" NACDOT Watcher's Eye will be a big increase. 20/20 Swift Affliction will beat a level 3 Empower as well. Honestly, taking Acrobatics while being MOM+EB hurts your EHP. I would drop those and those health nodes that way and push towards Sovereignty. You can also get Purity of Flesh for more HP and then with leftover points either go for Devotion for HP and aura effect or Void Barrier for ES and Evasion. Getting these aura effect nodes and the mana res nodes on the way to Sovereignty opens up room for Zealotry for a nice more multiplier. You can drop Void Manipulation from the Blight setup as that's more of a debuff to make your big damage dealers Bane and Soulrend stronger and put Flame Dash there to get the Zealotry on helm. " You have a decent amount of the ES nodes already. Before I switch to 4 auras, I took nodes going up to and including Unnatural Calm. You could also look into some sort of Watcher's Eye, ideally with Malevolence NACDOT as it also gives some ES. And if you drop the jewel by Melding to get Intuitive Leap you can take the Melding notable as well. | |

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. | |
" 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. https://pastebin.com/0CYuLSCX 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. |

Hey im looking for some pointers for what i can upgrade on my gear, gems atm is a work in progress.
More looking for some advise on gear :) thanks in advance | |
" 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. IGN: SirCritoris

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 Last edited by jsuslak313 on Apr 24, 2019, 1:09:45 AM
