1.3 ✮ The Crit DoT Chin Sol build ✮ Puncture Trap / Ice Shot (Build of the Week S3E3)

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAsNii2cgU9W9qjBa_Ax4mlR9BYeIGI1VLtUhtbDY944Sdqg5IYqxsjBGWtMUHHsLs2-eVLipbBbVwUfDVgl6Nv9Qj6NZ2b0lRUuxRRzBxIup-sJUFMHzdqLEw2FTZxgiJfyuNfUt4tQgylJrx1oqQDXfXI_Y6QnGhfwJdaDN4VvpNkqOKj0-m4Mqp5zoUdfzF-WMb4BjbZ6DdDRn-5LF08Yd2LOkbAUPnIWBKfdqN_sg53UCgq9IFLSU_YEt675smMgGyGc96dO3K0xm0-rHqYt7GFSAi4kfi0IGkOQ==

That is my change to the build starting from the shadow area.

Going for high life, more flat physical damage but not speccing an inch into crit.

I figured, only Puncture needs the crit chance because the Ice shot chance was way too low for it to be worthwhile.


I haven't gotten too far, but I'll see how puncture works out without the crit chance. No one has been able to reliably answer how necessary the crit on puncture is.

Is it the difference between using one and ten traps OR just using two more traps to finish the job? Quite frankly, not everything needs to die in 1, 2 or 3 shots, the fight just has to be a cake walk.

missed out on two trap nodes and 3 damage over time nodes near shadow.

i think the main benefit of the build is that one of the three traps will crit for massive damage. you are missing that in this tree.
Question 1
Can someone explain me why we dont get point blank in the tree only being two points away? Couldnt we save a support gem that way? Iceshot would also profit from point blank wouldnt it?

Sorry if its a silly question, but I seem to oversee something.


Question 2

How do you guys handle Manaregen? I seem to have serious issues with my manahousehold, i am lvl 65 right now have a Manapool of 414 of which 120 are left when I run Hatred + HoA.

Q1: The OP explained that he did not pick up the Point Blank nodes as although it worked with the trap, it reduced the AoE clear DPS as you would usually be performing that from beyond point blank range. I suppose if you are strapped for gem space and you are only using this to clear Atziri for example, you could spec in and out of it between bosses.


Q2: The further you get with the build, the less spam is required as you would be doing a lot more dmg and require fewer attacks. However I use a low lvl clarity (lvl 5) at lvl 77 which seems okay for now, and before that I just utilized a mana pot when I wasn't regenerating mana fast enough

Hey there, just starting this build up in Rampage because it looks quite promising and Ice Shot is a lot of fun right off the bat anyways. Any chance of a more detailed leveling path/guide beyond Crit > Phys > Trap?

Thank you for the kind answer sir.

Pyre would pretty much brick his build...

He is proliferating the ignites from this Ice Damage. If he converted it all to fire, it would shock only. And the Proliferate is a lot of his AOE damage output.
