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

I covered the recent changes, you can find the list in the main post. Overall we got small damage and survivability nerfs, however the build still functions in the same way and will be a strong league starter for Legion.

Damn looks like yet another great skill ruined by GGG, first Arc and now Bane/Soulrend.

They aren't ruined in any way. Soulrend is basically unchanged(the aoe nerf doesn't really matter), while Bane was incredibly overtuned and everybody knew that, so the damage nerf was expected.

-Soulrend projectile radius reduced to 10%(from 13%) - doesn't really matter, so there's basically no nerf to our main skill

Thats not 13%->10% its 13->10 units, so -25% on projectile radius (so not leaving the screen by default now).
Will be noticeable for QOL :)

It's not changing how far the projectiles go. It changes the range from the projectile that is affected. The projectiles always went way more than 13 units. This just means there will be bigger "gaps" between the projectiles.

Your right, seems to be this way, so the hit box of every single projectile has lost 25% width ...

Which given the short duration of the dot will also be a DPS loss. Absolutely no idea how to calculate the uptime though.

Never played a build like this before, how does the "Unleash Support" really work ?

Glad to hear the build is still viable! On a PS4 playing and I don’t think melee style characters will work so well with the optimizations as they are now.


Sooo... I’m using this build again! It’s been really strong and fun and hopefully I can get the gear to move past the MOM only version.

Path of building links are updated for both versions now, the written guide will be updated later today or tomorrow.

Well, once the new patch drops, we will receive a full skill tree reset for all these changes I suppose.

How do we proc arcane surge with soulrend at higher levels ? Can't use that much mana now can it, how how does that work
