Thanks:)
3.16
SKILL-TREE:
I purposely allocated 1 point too many. This is for you(the reader) to notice that you have some options!
Firstly, you have the option of swapping alira for +2 points once you're comfortable with your resists.
Secondly, you have the option of dropping certain semi-weak masteries and re-allocate those points.
An example of "semi-weak" masteries could be 2% es regen or light radius (I got used to the dark...)
Otherwise, you can drop the extra point I allocated into Deep Thoughts notable -- or a mastery you don't feel you need.
Third, the SAFEGUARD notable is optional, however the area provides 18% spellblock!
Fourth, the 150% crit vs full health enemies mastery is useful while leveling/mapping and before you're in really good end-game gear.
ELIGHTEN SUPPORT GEM:
You do not NEED this gem in 3.16 unless you are trying to make room for Arctic Armor.
However the phys% gained from Defiance Banner is imo better and doesn't require an enlighten.
Freeze immune can be added to one of your 2 or 3 magic flasks.
MASTERIES:
Check level 50 skill-tree by switching tree at the BOTTOM of the tree screen!
REMEMBER to change masteries later on when you go from life build to full es!
ASCENDANCIES:
Some players prefer chain reaction, some prefer explosives - try both, stick with what you prefer.
MaxBlock 2021 version of my LL Lightning Trapper.
Pro's about this version: Crazy survivability with max attack and spell block. STR requirement is also made easy and with +32 all resists your gear will be easier/cheaper to obtain.
My most recent character if you want to look at my setup/links, is found here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/oestergreen/characters
Name of the character is DissentXTV_Scourge
Remember!: Cluster setup is your LAST points towards lvl 100 and Jewel sockets are your 2nd to last points, so around lvl 86+.
This POB has Alira, but if you don't plan on reaching 100, then around lvl 93+, consider switching alira for +2 skillpoints to achieve your cluster setup even without being lvl 100.
Note:
Note: If you lack trap throw-speed, remember it's craftable on multiple different items and/or you can pickup Expeditious Munitions in the tree. (Throw speed exist on jewels, shaper gloves, essence of zeal crafted belts and bench craft belts)
Note: Many skillpoints are adjustable based on your own currency/budget and what items you happen to drop/obtain.
Note: I league-start my build always and I only go for jewel sockets when im in the 86+ and can afford decent jewels. Before that, you're better off investing those points into early trap damage nodes and/or survival.
Note: At the bottom of the pob skilltree, you can select a level 50 tree, to see how you *could* level - you can also type !quickguide in my twitch chat to get a jpeg with all instructions for leveling.
Around lvl 65-68 is usually a good spot for switching to full ES with CI (or low life if you can afford a shavs). Getting CHEAP 1alch/1chaos energy shield pieces is easy as they often are far far cheaper than equivalent life gear.
Note: REMEMBER to pickup Zealot's Oath as soon as you go low life or ci, else your pyromaniac ascendancy won't do nothing for you.
