3.12 Heist League Starter: Toxic Rain Mines Trickster

This Character is a Day 5 SSF run i did to try out all bosses T16 maps late day 2 Atziri + Uber Atziri day 2 Elder & Shaper day 3 Sirus 8 day 3 (the fight sucked I have such low damage I reccommend getting better gear than mine since I had nothing available) Trying to get uber elder frags now. Start with 3g setup: caustic arrow, pierce and void manipulation until fairgraves Look for 1b 2g bow early to swap to toxic rain mines before merveil after you kill farigraves. Early on you should look for phys damage on your bow and rings as you are capped accuracy until the later acts and hit damage from pods exploding will help with clear and single target. Later on you will only look for + level of bow gems or + level of all gems, (also craftable with essence) This can easily be found by simply Id-ing bows that drop on the ground, a +1 bow will suffice until later maps, and most importantly until you get Chaos damage over time multiplier craft unveil. A Silverbranch upgraded to Silverbough will easily carry you into yellow maps until you unveil damage over time multiplier and farm 6l imperial bow cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GLASS CANNON - you will not have insane damage unless you invest into good gear. The real beauty of this build is 40% damage redution on 1 shots & 82% damage avoidance making you a very slippery character allowing for smooth & chill mapping all the way into t16s. Bossing can be a bit more of a challange on a very small budget. I would suggest getting better gear and mana regeneration on at least the boots & 1 piece of gear to sustain for bosses. (ps. mana regeneration boot enchant has 100% uptime since detonate mine is considered a spell!) Damage over time effects are attributed to the player regarless if they come from a mine This means that even if you are using mines, on kill effects are attributed to the playing making trickster a no brainer since you will gain insane recovery from patient reaper You will also gain really good utility, speed and defence from speccing the elusive nodes on the tree early as they will speed up your leveling and grant you dodge. You may also eventually get a onslaught on kill abyss jewel, and a phasing on kill jewel if you want more consistency. You can also spec into freedom of movement before you get a cluster jewel for movement speed and dodge for easy mapping, I had Freedom of movement & Clever constructions (mine nodes) specced until I found a decent cluster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 link: Blastchain + Toxic Rain + Void Manipulation 4 link: Blastchain + Toxic Rain + Vicious Proj + Swift Assembly 5 link: Blastchain + Toxic Rain + Vicious Proj + Swift Assembly + Trap & Mine Damage 6 link: Blastchain + Toxic Rain + Vicious Proj + Swift Assembly + Trap & Mine Damage + Charged Mines Make sure to spec into 5 frenzies before getting 6l ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Imperial Legacy (6l Imperial bow cards) can be famed in the acts & maps. These are the locations where you can farm the cards, you will aproxiamtely find 1 card per 3-4 maps, therefore if you plan on farming it expect it to take ages. I suggest farm currency and buy them for 2c each instead. Imperial legacy can be acquired in the following areas: Desert (map) Desert Spring (map) Dunes (map) Pillars of Arun ( unique map) The Foothills (act 9) The Oasis (act 9) The Vastiri Desert (act 9) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key items for the build: Kitsugi for insane damage mitigation - Can be bought or farmed through the Deadly Rivalry V Prophecy (100% drop chance) Atziri's Steps - Very cheap and insanely good pair of boots will help you cap evasion and dodge. Profane Proxy (use in left ring slot & socket Despair) this will give you immense quality of life and clear damage as the bot will curse all enemies and bosses at LVL 23 effectiveness. The belt and gloves I have in this PoB Are completely not necessary it's just what I was able to find in SSF in my short week run. Damage over time on quiver and necklace gloves & Gem levels on main 6l (lvl 21 gems are HUUUUUUGE for the build) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once you get a 2nd 6l Setup you can look to use caustic arrow with arrow nova for faster clear (will most likely be in late maps depnding on your 6l luck) CA Links: 5 link: Blastchain + Caustic Arrow + Vicious Projectiles + Void Manipulation + Arrow Nova 6 link: Blastchain + Caustic Arrow + Vicious Projectiles + Void Manipulation + Arrow Nova + Swift Affliction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Swift assembly = 62% more damage multiplier assuming 4 overlaps Charged mines superior support over +- 40% more multiplier because of mine laying speed To calculate your TR mine dps you must divide your DoT Dps by your attack speed then multiply by mines thrown per second (1/mine throwing time) then multiply by 1.62 which is swift assembly. with 5 proj 25 radius is the breaking point for 5 arrow overlaps - This can be achieved by obtaining a 25% AOE Dying sun and a 12% AoE Craft on necklace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shaper dps assuming 4 overlaps with frenzies & no wither stacks 1,683,411.4285714285714285714285714 Shaper dps assuming 4 overlaps with frenzies & 15 wither stacks 2,789,308.2857142857142857142857143 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
