This is the first build I "made", in reality I was basically looking at what other people were doing in poe.ninja and adapting to this build.

I made this build as a challenge to myself, wanted to finally try to come up with a build that is not following a guide. And while I enjoyed how the build turned out, there is really no reason to go this build instead of the other meta options, unless you really like to play cremation.

I went trickster just because I wanted to build a tanky trickster for the longest time, and I am happy with this choice, I was deathless up until I started practicing ubers on this build.

The build is a Cremation of the Volcano Trickster, that scales damage stacking power charges.

Damage Scaling

• Power charge stacking with Inner Conviction
• Anathema for multiple curses

Defensive Layers

• 95% Evade change
• Aspect of the Crab
• Corrupted blood immunity
• 120% reduced curse effect
• Stun immunity
• ES Overleech
• Crit immunity
• Ele Ailment immunity
• Chaos/Poison immunity (CI)
• Anathema for multiple curses

To calculate the damage of this build you have to consider the number of geyzers, number of projectiles, average hit, firing rate and a subjective multiplier of how many projs you think you are going to overlap. So something like this:

6(geyzers) * 9 (projectiles) * 1.1(Firing rate) * 325.000 (Avg hit) * 0.8(80% projs hit) = 15.4mi DPS

Then you factor in of how much effect your punishement curse will have during the fight and the culling dps.

For me the current DPS is enough, you can check the uber maven to get a feel of how much actual DPS the build does.
