PoE Trap builds without Explosive Trap

I spent quite a while trying to find a build I could shove those new recoup life nodes in. I think I got one. I am a bit worried about attack speed, but other than that it is 100% spell suppression, 50% recoup, big ES leech with some mana and hp on hit/kill. I think the lightning mastery (always lucky non-crits) will be great with the huge range that Energy Blade provides (15+0.04%ES - 235+0.8%ES) \[147-2875\] Any thoughts would be great since I can't really test in out in POB since the skill isn't added yet. I have also nev

Howdy folks. I've been tooling around with Energy Blade, spectral helix, crit, and gladiator, I cobbled together something moderately ok. As PoB'd it shouldn't be too outrageously expensive to build on leaguestart. It will also use the new Tempest Shield for +25% spellblock so I left some unreserved mana for it. The PoB What it does ok 3-4m boss damage if you sit on them and cast. Moderate ~5k ehp Leeches both life and ES Decent block and Evasion What it does bad Clearspeed is garbage. Maybe flickerstrike/multistrike gemswap because that new sword mas

The build is just a rough idea, it is nowhere near min-maxed. But the number seems promising so I decide to share it :) pob with quite endgame gears: dps while focused: 13m x 2 (helix hits twice in close range) Defense: 4.5k life, 46k evasion, 100% spell suppression, +216% ms (with QotF), purity of element for ailment immunity. Hopefully it's enough to survive most of the contents. I generate Endurance/Frenzy/Power charges by using Doedre's Elixir. With the reworked Survival Instincts jewel (50% chance not to consume charges), it should be sustainable. Flat

Made this skeleton (non conversion) build with a friend this morning: EDIT CORRECT LINK: (Level 94) You can fill out the gear with evasion/life base if you wish, weapons and such are all up to you. The usual from rares to cold points. Lost about 10-15% damage from 3.15, but multiple things to make up for it from masteries and new keystones e.g. Ghost Dance. They can be swapped around as people see fit for the build. Overall nerfs were a bit of an exaggeration as per the usual community knee jerk. However wouldn't mind someone pulling this apart and making it be

POB: Due to passive tree changes this is just a rough outline of notables and gear without factoring in Mastery for the most part. Reservations assume that Faith and Steel counts for Energy Shield Mastery (for 25% Discipline Efficiency) otherwise drop Tempest Shield or spend a few points for Insightfulness/Unnatural Calm. Open to ideas or suggestions for refinement. Never played spectral helix so unsure what sort

Okay so this build kind of originated off of one of my favorite unique swords Dreadbeak. The idea is to boost base damage with bloodthirst and reserve exactly or slightly above 50% of life for permanent low life. Now you may say, but adrenaline can be abused so easily if you just reserve at 51%, and I'll say 6 auras/buffs with very good aura effect. Instead of creating a gigantic block of text I'll try to note all the advantages with formatting I'm not used to. Exactly or close to 50% reservation using a herald of purity and a high level vita
