PoE Ballistics, Trap builds

An Elementalist trap build, mainly utilizing the interaction between the Lightning Golem, the golem ascendancies and Slavedriver's Hand. Some stuff are nerfed after I made this build but the idea should work for pretty much all traps.

Basically the cookie cutter uniques in the title to leverage damage, spectral throw/spectral helix multi hit mechanic to scale damage (PoB is configured for single hit, should be x4 for spectral throw and like x2.5 for spectral helix). Wind Ward + Wind Dancer for defenses, although the build is by no means a defensive powerhouse, just 95% evade if hit recently and some basic mitigation. I put starter in many quotation marks because heatshiver/yoke and lethal pride can be kinda expensive so I dont wanna advertise it as a full blo

Hi - I'm quite casual. This is the first league I've sunk a lot of time into the game in a while. I suck at dodging mechanics and need to be decently tanky to enjoy the game. Is there anything I can do to improve my damage on my build that doesn't break the bank? Should I realocate some points in my tree? I run despair on hit because I map and it's more a quality thing. I self cast despair/temp chains on bosses which I think overrides cast on hit (unless I misunderstand the mechanic) I have about 5 div but would be willing to farm more. [

BOSSING: You must have a Cold Iron Point, or a dagger with +1 Phys and Dot Multi to use blade trap. Obliteration is for mapping, CIP is for pinacle boss farming/completion

Made a quick delve mockup to see whether blood of summer or fragment of eternity is better for a frenzy stacker, turns out its not even close (turns out nighblade is pretty decent kek)! Thought I'd share my PoB mockup since it seems pretty decent. Between 50/50 block and capped suppression you shouldnt really be in danger of dying unless you fuck up (yes tanking a big phys slam is a fuckup). 75% endurance charge on block chance should keep you topped on endurance charges and give a pretty massive 3 endurance charge immortal call w

is my build, I am not a PoB warrior so my calculations are probably off. Are there any glaringly obvious issues I have in my build, maybe more efficient pathing in the passive tree, or gear choices that aren't working? I just tried Maven and I made it to phase 3 but it felt i wasn't pumping enough damage to safely move through the fight before the floor was completely covered. I know there is a skill issue there but I tried to overlap the floor as much as possible, the fight was just going on for a while. Mostly looking at triage of gear to change, maybe link
