1.2.4 Crit Trapper - MOM AA


Though I've been playing POE for about a year, this is my first thread.

Unlike other leagues before, only in rampage league, I was asked about my trap build so many times

usually in public rooms.

To a few guys I even sent a passive build link mail, which made me decide to write.

I love playing in party & especially vaaling maps which ppl hate :p

Like you guys, I tried lots of builds.

In rampage, trapper, mjolner discharge and voll's sets discharge.

But the trapper was the best I'd experienced until now.

Hoping more trappers to be shown in public rooms, I'm writting here.


Pros & Cons

NO LAG
CHEAP or cost effective
reflect-immune
fast clear speed - also has very good single target dps
survivability - high phy & spell block + MOM + AA



flask-dependant
trap charge limit
no life leech
high mana regen needed to increase survivability
trap can be broken sometimes by spells


Stats

Fire trap with herald of lightning


Lightning trap


Cold snap


Defense


Defense with rumi's flask





Bandit

Nor - OAK
Cru - Kill all
Mer - Kill all


Gear


High crit chance & multiplier is important as this build is based on Crit.

Btw you should notice that power charge on critical gem does not work with traps

power charges ofc affect our crit chance however :)


Flask



Trap throwing

This build's power comes from Elimental Equilibrium.

Remember that you should throw your lightning trap first and then fire trap to gain more dmg.

Cold snap recommended to cast "sometimes"

especially on rare mobs, bosses or when you are under dangerous situation

as it freezes all mobs and ele-proliferation cannot have its effect which slows your clear speed.

Im trying this build now, lvling a templar as we speak :) looks really great and fun, specially with the crits from heralds. All the explosions, damn fun.

Though id recomment not using Ele. Equil. before merciless, because mobs have rather low hp anyway. If someone decides to use EE fromt the start, you might also use fire traps and then Arc or lightning tendrils, works just as good. (until the mobs start to hit like a truck ofc)

Holy shit that video quality haha, I recommend using open broadcaster software next time you make a vid.
Is free as well, good quality and no watermark.

Build looks fine btw :)
I LOLED at "CHEAP" part:


rathpith (top rolls) - 3ex
malis (perfect crit) - 2ex
6L cloak - 30ex~
2x empower lvl 4 - 60ex
firetrap lvl 21 - 8ex~ (roughly)
clarity lvl 21 - 5ex

108ex~ total not including all the gems and the rest of the gear.

before anyone replies, ofcourse any build can be done with lesser gear, but that's not the point I'm making.

I LOLED at "CHEAP" part:


It never seems cheap now, i agree :D

But the build showed a great performance

when i invested around 3-4ex in the begnning of the rampage, with 12-15000 dps.

First of all, i chose this build to farm dom & maps and gain currencies empty-handed,

to try another build ultimately.

However, suprised at the performance, i decided to stick to the build

an bought expensive gems to boost dps and defense in the mid of the league.

Ye now it seems not cost-effective.

But you'll definitely feel how cost-effective the build is

if you have no correncies and choose this build like i did. :)
