PoE Reap, Spell builds

So, since Reap AND Minefield Support are getting pretty big buffs. I realized that I'd give it a try. and 3.17 is a prime league for Mines since both the league mechanic and the expansion mechanic is about bossing, and gives opportunities for pre laying. reasons for picking Reap: 1. since the spellcast buffs get better the more levels you stack, I figured since double CIPs already give 6 levels, this is the easiest way to circumvent the nerfs to high impact mine support and come out ahead in terms of damage 2. minefield is getting buffs(it's gonna get 14% more Throwing speed than before basi

I am planning to league start a CoC build this league, having never played one before. Bit of a personal challenge and a project to work towards. With the help of some of the people on here, I got a lot of information on how CoC works and I've read up on the breakpoints. Now with the new PoB, I need to actually plan out the tree and skills. Initially I thought about doing Martyr of Innocence Blazing Salvo build, but that would require to path all the way to the templar side of the tree. So for now the plan is cold conversion Reap. However, after a bit of planning the damage and defenses are

I always heard trap/miners were glass cannon so I wanted to take advantage of the massive amounts of incoming life/ES from tinkerskin. Honestly it felt pretty solid defensively, I ran a 15 summit full of porcupines and never had a death clearing and I was just kind of running headfirst in, the build had a strict 1ex budget so a 6Link tinker was out of the question which is a pretty significant problem but overall it wasn't too bad I just don't think the trap life is for me. Keeping reap stacks up was kind of annoying and unleash not fully stacking bothered me but

Not much to say. Seems like it could numerically, with max stacks on every dot thanks to the hit rates. You even get bleed-splosions thanks to Kinetic Blast and Pierce Sources (main reason to choose over Scion IMO). Lategame I'd go for the usual Life on Block shield and such. Not sure about the wand, or other potentially OP gear though.

So I whipped together a rather simple build, since I haven't seen anyone go about this the Occultist way. I'm looking for some feedback \- mainly from people who have tried the skills already or just everyone that enjoys being a bit of a PoB warrior. The main idea is to have good AoE with Reap by stacking up some power charges and focusing on on-hit damage, rather than the DoT. Exsanguinate is used with Unleash to hit 3 DoT stacks with each cast and/or cover more targets with the linked (Hextouch) curses - Vulnerability and Assassin's Mark. Casting both of these using Life allows us to r
