Yes, thats correct, but I dont think he updates that build anymore, but I'll add reference to that on my post.

Hey, i wanted to try this kind of build, followed a bit yours but made it a CI shield based one instead of life:

I'm not really experienced in all the game mechanics yet, and my highest character is a 57 LA/frenzy ranger lol, but i really want to try a trapper build and poison arrow trap seems really fun, any advice on this build, or overall going mana/life would be more safe?

Hi, I really recommend poison arrow trapper, it has great clear speed and its fun. I can't really say that I know a lot about CI builds, but I made some changes to your tree:

link to tree

One thing that I discovered recently is that projectile damage affects poison arrow damage, which is great damage boost.

Playing life character has advantages in my opinion. For example with aoe trap builds, you want to go close range, so you can keep mobs in your aoe and you can keep yourself alive with instant life flasks while doing so. But with CI you might have to play more safely because you have no way to recover ES in combat.

I would like to try out CI version of this build in near future though.

Hopefully this helped you.

is non-trap poison arrow strong? I kind of just want to do a non-trap version is there a reason the trap version is more common?

Well, the thing is that there is not a lot support gems that you can link to poison arrow, and since trap passives gives huge damage boost, it makes it great support gem to use.

In my case I get around 40% more damage from trap gem, but it still does great damage without it, especially if you can get more chaos damage nodes and projectile damage nodes.

So I would say its viable without trap.

ty for the reply, so things like LMP or multiple traps would be bad for poison arrow overall you think? It's more area covered but afaik it doesn't stack so it makes sense to just focus on a single trap/projectile and maximize its damage

Would starting as a scion and taking the projectile nodes near it, the hp ones and then make your way towards damage over time/chaos and more hp be more safe? though i can see this build being a late bloomer.

Something like this:

Did you link your poison arrow with a trap support gem as soon as you could. If not about when did you link it to it.

Around lvl ~30, I think it's worth it when you have at least 2 trap damage passives.

I don't think desecrate is such a good idea.
Damage wise it could be awesome but that leave no damage ability to manage totems.

Fire trap is way better in that regard.

Maybe swap it with cold snap prolif for more utility.
