PoE Explosive Trap builds without Mageblood

pob: Spectres: Xoph's favoured Baranite Cleric (not here cause he dies so much, might replace with primal crushclaw) AG gear: \-9 fire res warlord helm Southbound gloves Kingmaker Garb of the Ephemeral Brittle implicit boots with +35% fire and lightning res Went LL, got some neat focus tech with trigger on helm. Will try to get a better watcher eye with hatred crit and maybe pen enchant on boots.

average hit x (3.2 (cluster) or 1.8 (swift assembly)) x (1/trap throw rate) x of explosions I believe this is how to calculate explosive trap damage. I might be underestimating or overestimating the dps here. 149657 1.8 (1/0.27) 11 = 10,974,846 million dps. Bottled faith puts dps to about 18 million. Ignore other flasks, they're for if you have a mageblood. Polymath applied in config, 9 3 for 27% more damage. Polymath gets most value from going hybrid, to double up on recovery. Can you squeeze in a Glorious Vanity on Doryani for the huge ES

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

I know I know, yet another seis trap/exsanguinate build. But, I haven't seen any ascendants using this! This build uses aegis aurora, iron reflexes (60k armour), 100% spell suppression, molten shell on lmb and life gain on trap trigger along with mini-pf 4% life gained per flask use (should be approx 20% life regained every 2-3 hits) for defences. From my experience with PFPC this league with lower armour, I found that AA alone was ridiculous for sustain. Ignite immunity from flask, shock immunity from tempest shield, and pantheon freeze immunity and poison/chill mitigation. Enduring compo

This was my only character in Scourge, and the best version of a build I've been playing with for about a year. Hybrid Crit Seismic Trap Saboteur (pobb.in) I like to make cheap builds, which is good because I don't play enough to make mad stacks and don't like to do much selling. In Scourge I got everything but the watcher's eye with my first exalt. I expect the 21 gem and the 6L Tinkerskin to be more expensive this league, but should fit into 5ex easy (worst I've seen in the last year is \~3ex for the 6L Tinkerskin). Note about Spell Suppression - Kongming's

Greetings Exiles, Wanted to try something more boss-viable for 3.17 and here is the result! POB: Honorable mentions: Low estimate of 2 Million boss dps with 1 unique (Hrimsorrow) + whatever dps that Seismic trap does now. 1 k net ES regen, 500 net life regen with RF up. No need for enduring mana flask. Tree is for level 94. Will be buffed! Dishonorable mentions: Skill Tree travel is a pain. Clear is probably shit. Pretty squishy all things considered (only about 8 k Effective life vs a 5 k Phys attack). Need
