I feel like trickster ed is going to be the third strongest build in the game behind ele wander and srs. Maybe a decked out spectral throw.

Damn, that actually sounds sweet. I even clicked through it in one of the threads on reddit because it giving you negative crit chance per power charge is highly amusing.

It even makes gearing easier cause there is no need for a Marble Amulet. Hmmm.... I like.



You'd go just Trickster ED without RF? The synergies though.

As for map changes, inb4 GGG went through literally every single good layout map and destroyed them all with OP bosses. I was ready for this the entire time though, they're not touching Shaped Racecourse, ha!

edit, new split arrow jewel: lol.

Go RF if you really want, I'm not sure it's going to do you any favours having to path around the tree like that searching for life regen etc instead of going directly for more damage.

The Trickster MoM RF ED dream looks like this right now. I dunno, pool goes up to 8k now but it kinda feels like I could just play a real RF Berserker instead and have a stronger build. Bit stuck overall, feels too hard to push the life pool higher.

so I haven't followed every change they listed in the last few weeks.
did they do anything specifically to buff life (as in amounts on the tree or gear?)
or was it merely nerfing ES

All armour will have a new Prefix modifier that can be rolled that increases flat defences (Armour, Evasion, or Energy Shield) and grants a small value of added maximum Life.
18 to 23 Life and +14 to 20 Armour/Evasion Rating OR +8 to 10 Energy Shield
24 to 28 Life and +21 to 42 Armour/Evasion Rating OR +11 to 15 Energy Shield
29 to 33 Life and +43 to 95 Armour/Evasion Rating OR +16 to 25 Energy Shield (Not on Gloves and Shields)
34 to 38 Life and +96 to 120 Armour/Evasion Rating OR +26 to 30 Energy Shield (Only on Body Armour)

This does not look impressive. For ED you don't need pierce gem, projectile damage no longer gives you more DOT. Take two passives from tree to get 1 pierce or 2 pierce. And pick efficacy support over all others you put there it gives you better value.

I made two Trickster DoT builds now with more average gear (or more attainable). Both are pretty cool, Vortex and 9000 ehp.

I'm honestly not sure if piercing two targets will be enough, prolly something one has to test out but I'm not too hopeful. Efficacy is a good call though.

As for your items in the first build, I'd be careful with CoD, wouldn't surprise me if that spikes in price massively like the old days. Also 4k life + 4k mana don't translate to 8k EHP. 40% dmg to mana from CoD, 5% from Power Charges.

You take 7k damage. 45% of that goes to mana (3150), 55% goes to life. You're not at 150 life and 850 mana. Need to be careful with MoM builds, when in doubt more life.

Also it looks like you missed the changes to charges, I don't think Surgebinders make sense at all now. since Frenzy is basically useless.

e: Ohhhhh, clear mind allows me to kick out clarity. Now we're getting somewhere.

Don't you need PoF with RF though? or essence wyrm i suppose...

RF will take care of most little guys. 2 pierce should be enough to hit the boss. With Trickster you want to be close so to keep the 70% inc mana and life regen on all the time.

Amulet gives me 7% to MOM. Also in full game I am sure I will be able to get +1 PC from a quest. So 48% MOM. Also I do want a bit more mana, I don't want to run out of mana at any point. Also Life potions are more effective than mana potions so you want stay with more mana when you get big hits. Also the build has 1000+ ES which will protect vs big hits. Also I used tier 3 stats on gear this time, I am sure with right tweaking the defense numbers can go higher.
What is wrong with surgebinders? Frenzy charges give general elemental damage per FC. Base more damage of FC that was changed to only work with attacks has nothing to do with how Surgebinders work.

And yea CoD might be costly. But it is not a critical part of the build. There are other armors I can use, including a rare one with high life, mana and resists. I can just focus on more life in that case, like you did.

Also the build has 1000+ ES which will protect vs big hits.

Yeah, now at 9k effective with Acro I'm starting to feel comfy about not having pierce at all even.

What I mean with the Surgebinders that the investment into Frenzy at all seems a bit meh. The bonus is a couple percentage points increased damage and not much more at this point.


ES in these builds is never there when you need it from my experience. Random tickling by white mobs will remove it and you have no way of getting it back easily.

new question calling upon your cumulative experiences
if I keep poe trade open at start of the league, how likely is it I can get a silverbranch/+1 bow for a chaos or less in the first hour of the league?
