[3.17][Tested in Standard] Storm Rain Trap Saboteur

After some tinkering with PoB, talking to other build creators on discord, a lot of back and forth, I finally finished this build and tested it in Standard on a LVL 95 Character (but with the level 90 Skilltree from this PoB). I had a slightly better Bow from Scourge, but the rest of the gear was very comparable.

​

I killed The Feared, Maven, Sirius, Elder, Shaper and Uber Elder with it and ran some maps.

​

Boss damage is amazing, easily in the Top 5 of builds I have made myself so far.

​

But that is not the best thing about it; the clear is SCREEN WIDE and even off screen because of the crazy AoE this build has.

​

Only problem: You cannot league start it I think (scales too hard on how good your Bow is). BUT it is not like you cannot league start with another Trap build.

​

With the coming league and expansion, this build will only get stronger, despite the nerf to Trap Support.

​

The items are generic, cap resists, as much HP and Evasion as you can get, Ele DMG with Attack Skills goes a long way, good Bow and Quiver mandatory - if you cannot get Helmet Enchant, get +1 proj on Quiver. Scale with Crit Multi and Added Lightning DMG.

​

However, this is a true Softcore Experience Character. You will die. But we have the Cast on Death + Portal tech, so everything is fine.

​

I usually propagate tanky characters with all the meta stuff, like Grace + Determination + Defiance Banner + Suppression + Block and Elusive + Nightblade abuse, so this was a very refreshing to make.

​

I hope you enjoy this build.

(the PoB is missing a skillpoint. at the very top, select the Crit With Lightning Damage is lucky mastery. sorry, i had multiple with very similar names)

edit: For Clearing, Swap Concentrated Effect for Phys to Lightning OR Advanced Traps (I'd recommend the latter).
