[3.22] Triggerbots Impending Doom Saboteur
|
Greetings Exile! I'm LieAndSMile, here is my Saboteur Doom blast build!
You may check out an up-to-date version on poe.ninja: Poe Ninja Current Build Variations : Kulemak Version Shako Helmet Version So I decided to try how Trigger bots are working with one of the meta Skills, and it is pretty solid. The main difference from Occultist and Pathfinder is that we do not cast our things directly, instead it does our Trigger bots which provides some benefits and big mana problems :) So in this case, I believe that Saboteur is in the middle between Occultist damage and Pathfinder survivability.

Pro's - Possible starter, as soon as you get to LVL 31 and buy this game, it can be used in 4link with Curse Ground support. Detailed in Leveling - Huge potential for build investments - Possible to combine different uniques/rare items, not a single unique build - Good clean speed - Cleans any map modifiers - Interesting archetype of trigger builds - Huge AOE, full screen in the end game Con's - Not a face tank build, you have to dodge the stuff - Can be outplayed by some map mods which requires snapshot one gem at the start of the map. (Detailed in mapping) - Unable to do "Curse immunity expedition mod" - Mana cost is a big deal in early game Some stats: Offensive This is without Turning on Malevolence, which I use with divine blessing. If you're running 1 hand with shield, it will be like 2x lower.  With Offensive aura turned on:  Defensive 70k EHP, Even thought I have just 3.3k HP, but this was enough for me to clean almost whole content without dying and struggling. (I haven't done Uber exarch and eater) Our Def layers are: Evasion - 70% with Flask Armor - 70% with Flask Spell suppression, can be done up to 100% - right now 80% and Lucky mastery Poisoned enemies can't crit us Born in shadow's ascendancy - Nearby enemies are blind, 15% less damage from blind enemies Bomb Specialist - 20% chance to take 50% less Area Damage from Hits + Solaris pantheon, which doubles that amount and gives us 40% chance to take 50% less Area Damage CWDT Molten Shell - 2000 damage lvl 11 Elemental and Chaos Hit mitigation using - The Fourth vow unique Armour (Armour also applies to Chaos Damage taken from Hits ) combined with Xibaqua Glorious Vanity.(50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage +5% to maximum Chaos Resistance) Life/ES leech from the Tree Leveling

As for the leveling, we have a first ( and the last I believe ) chase item here, which is Vixen's Entrapment lvl 36 Gloves. BUT we can trigger our things even without gloves. For this we'll use Cursed ground support which allows triggering Doom blast from Temporal Chains starting from LVL 31. BUT To trigger this curse by itself, you must have +1 additional curse passive (Whispers of Doom), which I suggest to rush at the beginning. Leveling gem setup will look like this: Mapping

Best in slot as one hand, cheap and effective Another cheap league start unique, good defense and 40% increased ailments duration. Great mid/end game upgrade. Simply gives us quality of life by ignoring curses, resistance, evasion and curse effectiveness which scales DPS. Great DPS staff. Not sure if it's even possible to craft a better one. Usually it was fair cheap since not many Chaos skills are popular. In 3.21 it was around 25 which is too high on my opinion. This might be the best item which gives major DPS boost. Starting from LVL 30 you won't beat it DPS with any craft things, especially if second support suits us. Very expensive, around 30-5- div in average, end game upgrade. Fair cheap unique ring for DPS and chaos resistance Epic Chest to boost our elemental survivability, using in combination with timeless jewel Xibaqua Glorious Vanity.(50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage Gem links

Leveled with Chaos Skills - ED/Contagion and Blight. Respect to Intending doom when receive gem and have a 4 link 3 Blue 1 Green sockets. Using a Plague Bearer for single target POB - https://pobb.in/63DqrJ8-h25q LVL 75 just finished acts 21.08.2023 update Also bought 2 forbidden Noxian Jewels, 70C each 23.08.2023 update Bought 5l Kulemak without 1 mode for 50c, also lucky 6l on Body armor. Next step will be getting cluster jewels and Escape jewel which is extremely expensive this league. 02.09.2023 update Lucky Shako Drop. wanted to try self farm it this league =D LVL98 POB https://pobb.in/r0-w98SaO5wY 16.09.2023 Final update, LVL 100 and my thought on Gloves nerf: The damage in POB is already lower since it doesn't count Spell cascade anymore: https://pobb.in/dcs4P9VaybwH I've done all Uber content in the game, including 30 wave simulacrum this league. In addition, I'm going to test how it feels like to play without spell cascade, but the damage is obs lower due to the lack of overlaps. The good news is that Shako helmet might be significant cheaper next league :D Last edited by Desire61#1025 on Sep 17, 2023, 1:30:49 PM Last bumped on Aug 18, 2023, 1:40:21 PM

I heard about Vixen's gloves nerf after 3.22. Wonder if it will be possible to scale damage in other way, any ideas? =D Last edited by Desire61#1025 on Aug 23, 2023, 3:30:22 PM

Hello !
I see i'm not alone following this path. For reference, I chose the "Critical Strike" way : https://pobb.in/WpvO4AyhM_aL I'm melting everything right now but ubers are still a bit hard without mechanical knowledge. However I managed to find a balance where I can sustain impending doom mana consumption thanks to the 10% instant leech. Last edited by Kaomax#1108 on May 9, 2023, 8:33:27 AM

Sup!
I was made this build in crucible and i have one problem. Where i take Whispers of Doom at passive tree Doom Blust just stoped work. All cursed just stay on the target and not make something. Can you give your advice, pleace? P.s. When i play without Whispers of Doom all works |

" Hi there, I'm sorry for late response, going to start this league with this build and update it if possible. I assume you had 1 curse less than I had, which doesn't require +1 from whispers of doom. In my case I have 3 curses in gloves (Punishment, Enfeeble, Despair) and the Main one I cast - Temporal chains. Basic Curse limit is 1, then I have +1 from gloves and +1 from Whispers of doom, at this point 4th curse overrides and triggers Doom blust. Last edited by Desire61#1025 on Aug 18, 2023, 1:34:56 PM

" Nice deeps you have there. It seems to have more damage compare to average crit Occultist setup but less survivability. However, with such DPs you probably won't experience any issues if enemies dying fast :) |

" Thanks, I appreciate it :) |
