So I needed a build to zerg down ubers as fast as possible and settled on explosive trap. I'm using jung's build as a template but am not entirely sure how best to scale it. I'm using divergent explosive with ashes which gives me primarily cold damage. This will give me bigger brittles and turns on hatred for damage scaling. hatred watcher's eyes are also on the table. Crit capping should be easiest on this version and crit multi is super desireable. I could also slot in cold to fire split the damage and try to scale both (cold to fire looks a big damage increase, but I feel like this method

So with the release of the 'monsters deal 25% less damage, 50% more life' I think Assassin benefits more than anyone, especially because Opportunistic grants -20% less dmg taken when 2+ rares around, and 8% less from Infusion results in enemies doing 0.55x the damage. I somehow got 400k sirus DPS with severe restraint in terms of the items I chose not even counting the release wave damage. Scorching. This is obviously a template and not a full build but I'm surprised at how good the numbers look on this. Comments welcome.
Thoughts on my first decent looking starter - Incinerate Assassin?

Original idea was to do CwC bodyswap (which this still can with a gem swap) but frostblink is also instant and might be tolerable with some reduced CDR. I tried to use reasonable week 1/2 items, but maybe overstepped in some places. Anyone ever played a build like this? I saw one other similar idea on poe.ninja here but this trickster take ought to have more recovery/sustain. I crafted some clusters for it, but am not sure what to dr

LEVELING TIPS: 1) Make sure every piece of your amor is an evasion base for the extra 10% spell suppression from our mastery node. Especially your chest. We get double evasion from our chest. 2) While leveling, look for high pDPS daggers, bonus points for crit chance. Usual life + resists on everything else, try to get a turqoise amulet ASAP. 3) Use PRECISION instead of MALEVOLENCE until you get a LYCOSIDAE 4) Use your alt weapon slots to level a vicious projectiles support, and a malevolence, you will need them later! 5) LINK PRIORITY WHILE LEVELING
