Wanted to showcase my Settlers HC character. It is a CI trickster that abuses charges with ralakesh and olesya's delight. Sadly hardcore trade is almost like SSF and I'm missing a few key items from ideal pob. I think it should be all content viable already but haven't done all ubers yet. Going for that next.
There are many nice things that combo decently together, to mention a few:
- Story of the Vaal combos well with Pyroclast Mine of Sabotage which results in 825% more damage and the 10 frenzy charges give us insane mine throwing speed so it actually feels good to use
- Replica Badge gives us 10 extra fortification and we can use that well
- Affliction charges give us a lot of damage but they also scale chill to max (from fblink and sword hits) and shock to 32% (from ring focus and sword hits)
- Plenty of endurance charges from endurance charge on stun support for immortal call
- Stormshroud solves ailments (helm and jewel)
- Trickster is op with new bases
(18m dps) Here is my char in poeninja and the one in the video: https://pobb.in/6FuKEpFbKxLP

(28m dps) Here is a bit more ideal pob that I would go for with more time or if I was in softcore trade: https://pobb.in/KHHJ1UpueCgM
The more popular variant of the same skill is a CI elementalist with aegis. That one clears maps much better with explo flask but has way worse bossing (much lower damage, much less max hit and recovery). My version is quite a bit more expensive but maybe is a bit more HC oriented.
