Preface: This is an omni build, it's not a league starter. Just play seismic trap as a trickster instead and respec if you want to play explosive trap. This was more an experiment on seeing if it would perform better than a saboteur, which I think it does.

With the reveal of the rework of trickster and seeing some of the discussion for the other ascendancy nodes, Swift Killer stood out as kind of bad compared to the others.

But Charged Traps and Slavedriver's Hand can take advantage of that pretty well. This lets you use the 200% increased charge duration on all 3 charges for likely permanent uptime. It also increases the impact those 2 extra frenzy charges have on your dps.

Build has 9 different mastery types taken so gets 27% more damage from Polymath. The build is also a hybrid life/es build so it doubles up on the polymath recovery. Build has a queen of the forest equipped, but any evasion heavy chest probably works with the Escape Artist synergy. A Replica Soul Tether is equipped for Corrupted Soul both to split the damage and to increase the es pool.

Wicked Ward and Spellbreaker have some nice synergy, build should hit 100% spell suppression even if you have to get 15% from a watcher's eye. Combined with Ghost Dance gives a pseudo Aegis Aurora effect without having to have a shield equipped. You could also take the ES mastery for "Cannot be Frozen if ES recharge has started Recently".

Taking the build to further investment would probably involve getting an Annihilating Light, fixing resists with better omni stats on the helmet/boots, finding another way to get level 26/27 on Explosive trap. Finding a way to get a Glorious Vanity to get Corrupted soul that way lets you use a mageblood, forbidden flame/flesh could be used either for Born in the Shadows for more tankiness, Explosives Expert for damage or Pyromaniac for ignite/shock immunity and regen.

I don't know how the mana reservation mastery change will affect the current reserved mana, but the enlightens in the build are only level 3, so maybe one has to get bumped to a level 4.
