I've been working on this build for a bit over a week now, spending more time in POB and trade than actually playing several of those days. I've been wanting to post it here for a while, but I wanted to see how far I could push it first. I've nearly reached the end of what I can reasonably change with my current understanding of the game however, and a few people in another post were requesting a pob, so I've decided to post today.

First things first, this is a Trickster with a Ralakesh/Replica Badge core with a current charge count of 12/12/5. I've managed to hit 90/90/90/76 res, 100% spell suppression, 32% fortify, roughly 48% physical damage reduction, 100% ele ailment avoidance, curse imm, and 80% crit reduction. 2.2k life that rarely moves, and 900 life regen for when it does. Has about 8m guardian dps, peaking to 20m with berserk/totem/bottled faith up.

It's a fun build, this version is very expensive, but it can be built cheaper and still be very effective. Presumably there are better skills that could be used, though I'd look into CI and drop EB if I were to look at other skills.

I basically cobbled this build together by cross referencing a few WSE builds on PoE Ninja, and have tweaked it this way and that to get it to the strongest state I can, but I am dumb. I'm sure this could be better optimized, but short of a couple corruptions, maybe a rare chest, and voices/adorned configurations I'm not sure what else I can do with it. The weapon in particular is a bit odd to me, I proved I have no idea how weapons scale damage by plugging in a bunch I thought were upgrade only to see the numbers go down.

Long story short, here's my build. Feel free to point out any glaring flaws, areas you think I could improve, or options for min-maxing. If you're brave, overburdened with currency, or weird you can use it I guess.

Edit: forgot to mention, there's some room in the skill gems for improvement as well. The inc. Duration supports aren't really needed, I just had spare slots after picking up shakos and no idea what to do with them.
