3 19 Trickster Explosive Arrow (Hit) Endless Heist & Beyond

Hi, garf412 here, and this is my levelling guide for this build portrayed in this Path of Building. All gear, the tree and chosen skills have been tested in Standard, SSF and Trade League, it works :D However, if you want to try other things, be my guest, have fun :) Stay Safe in Rogue Harbour ACT1 = BBG / GGR / G / B Killed Hillock from Tarkleigh = Explosive Trap, link to Chance to Poison Killed Helrake from Nessa = Swift Assembly, link to Explosive Trap Killed Hellrake from Tarkleigh = Take a gem for later use or sell to trade, Frostblink After getting Waypoint in the Prison, go back to town From Nessa = Added Lightning, for levelling Buy from Nessa = buy an INT (Lapis) Amulet and a Heavy Belt (if you haven't found one), Added Fire Damage Added Fire replace Chance to Poison in our Explosive Trap setup Killed Brutus from Tarkleigh = Precision, do NOT level this. Complete Allflame from Nessa = Lightning Trap, link to Added Lightning damage Buy from Nessa = Swift Assembly, link to Lightning Trap Lightning Trap is now your Clear Skill Explosive Trap is now your Single Target skill Act 1 Links = Lightning Trap, Added Lightning, Swift Assembly / Explosive Trap, Added Fire, Swift Assembly, Frostblink / Precision ACT2 = BBG / GGR / B / G / B / G / G / (OH = 2GG) Rescue Helena from Greust = Summon Skitterbots Hand in Quest at Act 1 = buy one colour of each gem from Nessa (3 wisdom scrolls) and any amulet, sell them back to Nessa to get an Onyx Amulet Buy a Rain of Arrows Gem, Use whatever currency you have to make the Onyx amulet, Rare, place both the Amulet and the RoA gem in your stash for your vendor recipe Hyrri's Bite Quiver, later Killing Weaver from Silk = Trap & Mine Damage (1), this gem (1) replaces Swift Assembly in Explosive Trap Buy from Yeena = Trap & Mine Damage (2), Culling Strike Trap & Mine Damage (2) save for later when you get 4L for your Lightning Trap (OH levelling) Culling Strike = save for later when you get 4L for your Explosive Trap (OH levelling) Act 2 Links = Lightning Trap, Added Lightning, Swift Assembly / Explosive Trap, Added Fire, Trap & Mine, Frostblink / Precision (still level 1) / Summon Skitterbots / (OH 2G) TRADE OPTION = Start looking for a Death Rush ring (Level 30 required), this likely will be expensive at League Start, but is a build requirement once we are in Heist. ACT3 = BBGG / GGGR / BBGG / B / B (OH = 3G, +1 Other) once you have got a 4L BBGG, add Trap & Mine Damage to Lightning Trap once you have got a 4L GGGR, add Culling Strike to Explosive Trap Catacombs Tolman from Maramoa = Take a gem for later use or sell to trade Buy from Clarissa = Purity of Elements, Grace, Haste Remove Skitterbots Deactivate Precision, start levelling this to Level 5 Activate Purity of Elements Grace & Haste place in OH for levelling Killed Grevious from Maramoa = Flamethrower Trap Return to Act 2 = Buy from Yeena = Controlled Destruction, Trap & Mine Damage, Elemental Focus, link all of these to Flamethrower Trap Act 3 Links = Lightning Trap, Added Lightning, Swift Assembly, Trap & Mine / Explosive Trap, Added Fire, Swift Assembly, Culling Strike / Flamethrower Trap, Controlled Destruction, Trap & Mine, Elemental Focus / Frostblink / Purity of Elements / (OH Precision (only to level 5), 2G +1 other) TRADE OPTION = PRAXIS = lots of Mana buffs & reduced Mana Cost, (Level 22 required) LE HEUP OF ALL = gives all attributes, all elemental resists, damage & rarity. (Level 24 required) Your choice on which rings to use, the unique ones suggested here or Rare's ACT4 = BBGG / BBGG / GGGR / B / B (OH = 4G, 2 Others) From this point forward, start looking for Sharktooth Quiver, normal rarity from the vendor for Hyrri's Bite vendor recipe Killing Deshret from Oyun = Take a gem for later use or sell to trade Opening the Belly of the Beast from Dialla = Barrage Support (for OH levelling) Act 4 Links = Lightning Trap, Added Lightning, Swift Assembly, Trap & Mine / Explosive Trap, Added Fire, Swift Assembly, Culling Strike / Flamethrower Trap, Controlled Destruction, Trap & Mine, Elemental Focus / Frostblink / Purity of Elements / (OH Precision (only to level 5), 4G +2 others) Flamethrower Trap is your situational trap, big pulls, magic packs, singel targets that dont move too much etc etc... TRADE OPTION = ASTRAMENTIS Amulet = The easist way for us to get our Attribute requirements ACT 6 = GGRR (5th L = B 6th L = G), GRRR (5th L = B 6th L = G), BGRR, RRRR, BRG MASSIVE Gem change, gear change, and links. Buy your ACTUAL Gems = Explosive Arrow x2, Elemental Damage with Attacks x2, Inspiration x2, Mirage Archer, Ignite Prolif, Barrage Support x2, Efficacy, Ballista Totem, Combustion, Lifetap (MUST be level 1) x2, Phase Run, Increased Duration x2, Cast when Damage Taken, Molten Shell, Defiance Banner Do NOT level the Lifetap's, you want at Level 1. Be Wary of Levelling the Precision gem past Level 10, you need mana in later gameplay Links = (1) In Weapon = Explosive Arrow, Ballista Totem, Elemental Damage with Attacks, Inspiration, Combustion, Barrage Support (2) In Body armour = Explosive Arrow, Mirage Archer, Elemental Damamge with Attacks, Inspiration, Ignite Prolif, Barrage Support (3) Phase Run, Life tap (level 1), Increased Duration, Efficacy (4) Cast when Damage Taken, Life tap (Level 1), Molten Shell, Increased Duration (5) Purity of Elements, Defiance Banner, Precision (Level 5 to 10, watch your mana pool!) (6) in OF levelling = Grace, Haste, and if wahtever gems you dont use above in your 6L, so if you only have 4L, you'll have 6 gems in your OH levelling YOU WILL NEED 3X SILVER OILS FOR YOUR AMULET ANOINTMENT Act 10/True Endless Heist = We change our Aura setup to Grace, Haste, Defiance Banner & Precision (watch that mana pool) For further investment into the build see the below guidelines, Uniques, Crafting, ALT Quality and and BIG Ticket Items at the bottom = . The Uniques I suggest for the build = Replica Conquerors Efficency = this is for the -mana cost of skills, if your mana is good, then its an empty jewel socket ;) 6L Quill Rain, still the best/easiest bow for our build (see blow for crafted/trade rare options) Hyrri's Bite, easiest cheapest quiver (see blow for crafted/trade rare options) 6L Queen of the Forrest = SPEEDY! :) Devoto's Devotion = BiS helm for Endless Heist Astramentis Amulet = we need a lot of STR & INT, this gives us that, plus more dexterity for EVA, which because of QoFT, = speed :) Death Rush ring = more speed, chaos res, and life on kill... BiS ring for Endless Heist Replica Quill Rain does a lot more Damage, but adds Arrow Nova support, so you have little control over where your Self Cast Explosive Arrow goes... its an option... CRAFTING (Or buying Rare from Trade Options) = Bow = Imperial Bow, Elemental Damage with Attacks, (any) damage with attacks, Increased Attack Speed, Increased Projectile Damage, crafted on Increased Physical Damage. Check the DPS of the weapn BEFORE buying from Trade, the rolls have to be really good to surpass the Quill Rain Quiver = Primal Quiver base = (any) damage with Attacks, Increased Attack Speed, Increased Projectile Speed, Increased damage with Bow Skills, then crafted on Elemental Damage with Attacks. It could go even further than this, based on your crafting experience / currency limits. ALT quality BiS gems are (other ALT gems lower our DPS or QoL of the build) = For Self Cast Explosive Arrow = Anomalous Explosive Arrow, Anomalous Cruelty, Anomalous Inspiration For Totem Explsoive Arrow = Anomalous Explosive Arrow, Divergent Combustion, Anomalous Inspiration For CwDT setup = Anomalous CwDT For Aura's = Anomalous Definace Banner, Divergent Haste, Precision = Divergent (more DPS) OR Anomalous (for Mana Res) For Movement setup = Anomalous Efficacy Buying the Following BIG ticket Items Headhunter or Mageblood, Corrupted Gear, Corrupted Gems Going Beyond Heist = We move to a Crystallised Omniscience build, stacking Attributes, and a tree change, this will be an expensive change.
