[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)
|
How viable is this build for a straight beginner starting on PS4 when it releases tomorrow?
|

I'd say very viable because you don't need that much gear.
But I've learned that PoE is quiet different from other games like this, for example Diablo 2 or 3. So if you don't understand anything feel free to ask here! I've got another question about crafting: I think I'll go for the dagger for shield charge. Though I rarely used it when I had it, I don't really want to miss the opportunity to use it if I change my mind. So I want this dagger with the decay mod, how do I go about it? - get 3 dagger with dead synth mods - scour, regal, anul - craft chaos damage on each - synthesize for implicit chaos - use essence How do I get the essence mod isolated? Do I just spam anul and hope I don't hit the essence mod? This could get quite expensive... |

" It's an expensive gamble. After you use the essence you want to have 2 prefix 2 suffix. I'm pretty sure that's the minimum but if you get 2 prefix 1 suffix with the 1 being Decay that's the best. Anyways, with 2 prefix 2 suffix you craft Suffixes Cannot Be Changed (2ex) then scour. Then you Annul and hope you don't hit Decay or else you go back to the essence step. |

That's too expensive for me I guess. I'll go with the non ailment over time damage and focus on other gear. Probably try that with the decay mod later!
Thanks for the explanation! |

I'm sorry for being such a noob, this is my third league and I have never been able to kill shaper, I would appreciate any help from more experienced players.
Currently i'm (accidentally) using a hybrid of these two builds, I have 4k Health, 3.5K ES and 1.5k Mana. My defenses felt solid until I picked up Eldritch Battery. Does the increased dodge chance from Grace really make up for the loss of effective health from my big ES pool? Could anyone tell me how I could salvage this character to push endgame bosses/ which items to upgrade first? Thanks for your time, |

I have a question. In the Life+MoM+EB build why do we have Flame Dash and Shield Charge? When do you use each of the two different movement skills?
|
|
" Shield charge is used as our main movement skill, however it cannot leap over gaps or terrain. That's where we use flame dash, to get to places not accessible with shield charge. Hope that helps! |
|
" You can't really mix Life + MoM with the MoM+EB combo. With your current chest you should def stick with Mind Over Matter + Life and take the mana nodes behind MoM. Your current tree says you don't have MoM or EB but with the Cloak of Defiance, Essence Worm, and the weapon combo you're using your skill points on the tree are best geared towards pushing mana and hp. Your rare ring also has no life and you have no available jewel sockets yet for putting jewels with life rolls. |

to make crafting dagger less expensive and have only 25% risk to fail annul you need to essence into 2preff and 2suff then you do bestiary recipe change random suffix to preffix(beast was 14c when i did it) so you have 50% chance to get decay as only suffix and 3 preffix, then annul. if you failed start over, in case of success you'll have 2preff and decay. craft multimod + suff cannot be changed and scour. dagger with decay and multimod ready to be crafted
