Kairn_'s Notes
Just wanted to put out a video on the character I've been really enjoying after leveling it. Little bit of experimentation with trappers outside of saboteur (somewhat, still ascendant sab) is always really fun to me. Only level 91, still could improve a lot of things. Some gear pieces could get really big improvements, and more levels would allow another medium cluster and stuff put in. Character can go much farther with more investment.
Video below to talk about the character, with a shaper fight showcase for damage. Haven't ever made a guide or build overview, so pardon my stutters/unfinished thoughts at some points.
Originally had the idea when I clicked explosive trap on PoE Ninja and saw that not a single ascendant version was on ladder.
Thank you for reading!
