This is the first time I've gone traps or even leveled with traps.
I did die a lot before my first ascendancy. But after that I was all good and blasted through content.

I finished the story at LV65 without issues.

Unfortunately, you're doing it wrong if you think a 6 link tinker is required before transition. I was wearing 5 links rare till maps.

If you have speed issues then get >25% boots and a quicksilver like everyone else and use flame dash?

My bad, I made it sound worse than it is, disregard my bitching haha I'm just spoiled and used to minmaxed 20-30mil sDPS builds zoom zooming.
I'm level 76 now with 3 labs done and I went Chain Reaction before Born in the Shadows for smoother mapping. I've only died 8 times, and my gear is all 5-10c cheap stuff and I'm on a rare 5L chest that I got 30 levels ago.

I found a solution for my frustration by heavily investing in trap throwing speed, I went from ~20% increased to ~70% increased, and the difference is HUGE. Good boots with 30% movespeed, resists, life, and % chance to avoid stun enchant are a bit hard to find right now for me but I managed to get a pair and that solves my stun problem as well. Movement is still a bit slow but I think I'll stick with the build and see how far I can push it.

Maybe this game isnt for me... Skill feels fun, but im omega squishy. This is by far the most times i died progressing to maps. How much ES i should have when starting maps?

According to PoB, Controlled Destruction cripples our damage as it reduces our crit chance massively, replacing it with Lightning Penetration changes the average hit from 690k to 1.7M !!! This can't be right surely, maybe PoB bug miscalculating crit?

I run the three dragons helmet in order to freeze enemies for more safety in maps (huge difference imo). However, what best to replace the Elemental Focus support gem with?

According to the POB, increased critical damage is a good option

Hey there!


Build is quite good, so far I struggle a bit with higher tier map bosses around t14, but DPS and Survi is fine. I need pierce on helmet for extra clear, but I do have few questions:

- I feel like my dmg is low, no matter how hard I try in PoB i reach at best 255k average dmg (a9 sirus, 3/3 charges, bear trap, assmark, all flasks, enemy chilled and shocked, you get the point, no overcalcs, no low calcs).

I know i do miss some stuff, my gear isnt even close to be minmaxed, but I need advice on how to improve.


- How about final gem setup in 6l? To be honest I feel like after obtaining Bottled Faith there will be no need for Inspiration, I have no mana issues so far, idk, will check that later after I switch off dream fragments aka big mana issues solver. Also we need tiny bit investment in max mana anyway coz trigger have 150% multi on wand and CWDT have some multi too. In general I feel like some extra %max mana will be needed - or either more reduced reservation.

- Best in slot Cluster Jewels setup?

- Edit, how about throw away Sigil of Power? Seems useless for me tbh, havent feel any difference with and without it during boss fights.

Hey guys, i'll make a "broad" answer to those of you saying you struggle with DMG or Surviving.

Idk why people keep asking "why controlled destruction?" ...
Is there an old POB somewhere in the guide or? ... the POB that I updated a day before 3.15 release, does not have constrolled destruction, it has pen as 6th. The gem section that I updated before 3.15.. does not have destruction, it has Pen. ..... *confused face* o.O

Ok, next point:)

We're an ES build with multiple layered defenses:
1) ES Pool easily beating health-pools which is kinda the point of ES in the first place. I'm only lvl 76 as I haven't had the time to be online but i'm running around with 3-4k ES mapping.... and doing act 1-10 and 20+ maps so far, my death counter is: 1 ... which btw came from a beyond boss;)
2) High Attack Block/Spellblock even in mediocre gear (can even reach max-cap 75/75 at later stages of gearing)
3) Regeneration (both Ascendancy and es-on-block shield later when you can afford 50c+ --- or selfcraft, i've shown on stream how to guarantee to craft es-on-block mod on a high ES shield for ~ 2ex, making the shield value around 5ex+)
4) Res cap should be easy, since we get a lot of ALL-res in our tree.
5) From our ascendancy we are ignite and shock immune.
6) We blind EVERYTHING on-hit. We auto blind ALL nearby enemies. (50% reduced hit chance from monsters and 10% less damage taken from blinded monsters that do hit us)

7) When all else fails, or you feel threatened... PRESS YOUR VAAL DISCIPLINE BUTTON! ... you don't have ANY life flasks ... so you really should have VAAL discipline in your mind as THIS IS your life flask in an ES build. When you press that button, your ES will go UP and you can almost survive any type of pressure for 3 seconds that it lasts, which should give you time to move or land traps. You do NOT even need to reserve discipline in order to USE vaal discipline.

We have all the tools. I've shown in league after league since 3.5, clearing all content, videos, updates, clearing the atlas in different levels of budget and min/max gear, ranging from doing it with merely 450k trap dmg, to doing it with 2mil+ trap dmg (which is not 2mil, since its 2mil x 3 x 9).... everything you can ask for, i've pretty much recorded it and thrown it into the video section so anyone curious can make an informed decision by watching gameplay... it's also what literally made me STREAM my league starts. :)

Trapping is not a playstyle for everyone due to the animation speed.

It is however a very strong and very tanky playstyle (for certain in this build) if you get used to benefitting from our pretty insane saboteur nodes combined with our defense(block&regen).

Throwing traps in the direction you are travelling is literally the difference of dying sometimes and never dying again (or having 1 death like me @76 cuz i thought it was brilliant doing beyond bosses with 3k es ;)

Trap throwing speed can help you "speed up" the pace, but it cannot save you from stupid deaths if you flame dash into middle of monster packs with no active traps. It really isn't that hard to get used to right-clicking in the direction you are moving and the more you do it, the more it sticks and you notice your death count stops going up.

I haven't had much time this league yet, but I've leveled from act 1 to maps deathless and it's all in the VOD on my twitch, so you can always spy on any part of the leveling process or early mapping that you'd like to. :)

Hey is there any other way to combat freeze ailment other than flasks?
Everytime I get frozen and I use a flask, there's still like 1-2 secs delay before I get unfrozen and at that point I'm already dead..

This is my first time league starting a trap build, I don't really know what I'm doing anymore xD

I'm also having a lot of trouble surviving, I think this game is not for me lol.

i just started mapping and i feel my damage just isnt there, pob says 190k avg hit.

sure im just 70 but what would be the easiest gear upgrades for some dmg boost? all weapons i compared just gave around 20k dmg which seems nothing

got shavs but still running hybrid bc of my level, so dmg improvement skillwise will surely come but the leveling just stagnated after entering maps

€: gotta correct, wrong gem sets selected. its just 29k avg hit and weapons give me whooping 4k increase. guess i just gotta level a bit
