This is an Outline to get everyone started, You may Do WHATEVER you want with the build, there is no right or wrong progression, it's all adapted to your Playstyle. If I don't get something that you agree with picking up early simply pick it up, This progression was designed based off the information of many new players and is geared towards them

This Ring Swapped for Taming Depending on Scenario

Skill gems are all in there, only thing I plan on swapping is my enduring cry and re-coloring GGB on my shield, put enhance in it's place and snapshot my Reduced mana for Enduring Cry.

Additional Information

Hello Everyone, Welcome to The Min-Max Section. You are not required to do this what so ever in your trapper build, This is for players who have Dedicated Groups & Would like to push their characters to the Extreme in party play. The main change here is you're able to Conduit over all 3 types of charges as a trapper, Additionally the skill tree will be changed up Due to party play since you will not need as much regeneration if someone can run vitality. Furthermore, Due to running 4 Power charges, you don't really need " DoT " Nodes anymore since your crit rate will be out the roof, you'll constantly be refreshing your burning damage regardless.

Note That all these changes were brought up by [ FreezeNelo ]

Rath Pith Shield


This shield will be replaced for a 70%+ Spell Crit 50%+ Spell Power Shield, it'll ramp your overall crit up more and will scale you to over 50% Crit Rate on your fire trap

Rings

Tamings will give you your highest DPS potential from what I've been told

Sunblast
If you're able to drop your belt for resists and use Sunblast I would highly recommend it, you won't be at too much of an hp disadvantage since you're losing Rathpith and hopefully gaining HP off your new shield

Swap Lightning Trap for Shock Nova
Shock nova is a much easier & quicker method of shock stacking to ensure your fire trap will incinerate its targets.
Shock Nova (20% Qual)
Multi Trap

Prolif

Flasks


This Flask + Conduit In fast clearing groups you'll be able to keep 100% up time aside from certain bosses, You could even remove your diamond flask to rotate 2 Of them.

Shock Nova Vs Lightning Trap.

Lightning Trap > Shock Nova For Shock Stacking IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A QUALITY SHOCK NOVA

Shock Nova > Lightning Trap at 13%+ Quality, Either use a quality or don't use it at all.

Hello & Welcome Everyone To The Main Debate of the Guide! Crit Trapper Vs Non Crit Trapper!

First off I would Like To Put a Huge Disclaimer Here Stating That if you chose to go Crit Trapper
There are a Few Distinct Items You Require,

#1 Crit Damage Ammy ( 50%+ )
#2 Maligaro's Virtuosity
#3 HIGH Spell Crit " DAGGER " + Multiplier ( 60%+ Spell Crit 15%+ Multi )

Just Note That it's not always easy to find a Crit Damage Ammy With Hp Along With Resists, You May End Up SpendingExault's just on this one acc,

Rathpith & Carcass Jacket are great additions. However, not needed at all They're cheap for the huge impact theybring on the build and that's the reason I use them.
Well then, let's get on with the meaty part, the Debate.

Non Crit Trapper - Constant Stream of damage, barely any crits, Costs literally no currency to build.

Crit Trapper - Much More Damage, Hit or Miss, either your critting doing insane damage or your not, that being saidI transitioned into crit trapper once I was able to grab all My crit nodes at once to try to limit this factor.

Solo Play - Non Crit Trapper Is Much easier to fund since you don't require demanding gear, Thus making it much moreversitile without great gear, with the Spread AoE on multi trap Fire Trap you can easilly clear through whites/bluesand still have decent clear time on bosses with bear + ek traps.

Solo Play - Crit Trapper. You will literally 1 Shot anything you come by with the execption of some bosses if you don'thave a 6-Link, that being said you NEED to crit, your firetrap won't give you the wide range of stuns like it used tosince it's not covering a huge area, your lightning trap prob won't stun either so you're down that. Ultimately it's much harder in terms of solo if you don't have the gear to backup your lack of survival ability for dropping your gloves.

Party Play - Non Crit Trapper. You won't deal as much damage as other classes. However, you have a constant stream of sustained damageand can keep nearly 100% up time unless you have casting speed/haste on. Regardless, you can still hit through reflect, proximity shieldcorrupted blood and so forth. You do however, bring Crowd Control & a possible front line if you chose to be.( OVERALL DAMAGE DOWN )

Party Play - Crit Trapper a Bit more squishy then the previous trapper, your cold snap will not freeze as long unless it crits.OR if they are shock stacked. That being said, you're potentially bringing a longer freeze, With shock stacksAnd let's not forget the insane fire trap damage that will Still continue to 1 Shot yellows in 3-4 man groups. With theexception of certain map mods + Fire resist mobs in High end maps. You also have such a safe distance to lob traps fromdepending on your mapping group as well. ( OVERALL DAMAGE UP )

Introduction
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the leveling section of this guide! This will guide you through the ways of leveling with pretty much no gear and no currency, maximizing your EXP gain with either high risk high reward or the safe paths.

Starting off as a Scion you will not be able to receive a Fire Trap spell, to fix this first problem go ahead and create a shadow and literally run to the first town. His first quest reward is fire trap.

Furthermore, you're going to have to find your means of either picking up Lighting Trap, or Clarity as you'll need both of them in terms of leveling. As a scion you will only receive one of them from your Brutus quest. You can either level another Scion to brutus, or possibly another class.

Your last leveling skill you'll need will be Ethereal Knives, this is a Very early quest reward as a Shadow. I believe it's off your Mud flats quest reward.

Once you've gotten all of your skills ready, go ahead and create your Scion. From here on out you can chose to twink your character with uniques, if this is the case then you have no need for this guide xD.

Skill Guide
Main DPS - Ethreal Knives, You will literally spam this ability. Ethreal Knives is one of the skills that scale so well based off skill level. ( Be weary of the slow cast time )

Sub DPS - Fire Trap, You'll basically rotate this to keep the burn damage up while spamming Ethreal to maximize your dps, It's also a great Kiting skill, ( Hit & Run )

Single Target - Bear Trap, This is your boss killer. Bear trap is another skill that scales Extremely well simply based off the level of the skill.

Filler - Lightning Trap. Essentially you'll use this just like fire trap, as a filler or simply for kiting due to the fast cast speed of traps compared to EK, it's not a great source of damage. However an early shock stack could easily wipe a group or boss.

Auras
]Grace - Since i'm using Iron Reflexes this is pretty much a Must on what you're going to run defensive wise.

Clarity - I'm currently running this on "Blood Magic" To make sure My mana can sustain the hits from Mind over Matter. ( Do Not Blood Magic If You Do Not Play Cautious )

Support Gems
Note that these are what I used for leveling, by no means am I claiming these are the best suited for leveling. However, I've never had an issue leveling with this character. This is simply to get you started until you get a feel of your character & find your own way of playing him/her.

Bear Trap

FAQ
How Did your Level 88 Die? BLUE SCREEN
What's an FAQ ?
FREQUENTLY - ASKED - QUESTIONS

#1 Why Don't You Use Lightning Trap?
Lightning trap has a 4% Base crit opposed to most skills/spells having a 5% crit rate, making it harder to crit via shock stacking, also it would require you to run a 4 Link, added lightning, multi trap & Ele prolif to properly shock stack with a low crit chance and w/o Static Blows

#2 Why Don't you use Elemental Equilibrium
You deal enough damage as it is, you're spending 3 Points just to grap it. Also when running with a group you can potentially lower your groups total damage output depending on what element your forcing to apply

#3 Why do you use EK on a Trap?
Being that this role is focuses on traps, EK gains bonus damage via Trap support gem due to all of our trap nodes. [ I use Multi Trap EK ] Thus scaling it to extreme measures.

#4 Why Don't You Use Shock Nova?
This would require a 3-4 Link just like lightning trap and I really don't have the room to replace anything. However, for group play if you wanted to you could potentially replace your curse/another active skill With Shock Nova or Lightning Trap.

#5 Why do you take EB?
Eldrich Battery gives you an insane mana pool Which gives you an insane Mana Regeneration. Which works directly towards your Mind over Matter Keystone, or the unique Chest ( Cloak of Defiance )

#6 Why Do you use Cold Snap
Cold snap allows you to Freeze your entire screen for a multitude of seconds, You can look above in the guide to see video proof.

#7 Is This Build Expensive
No. This build is not expensive at all. Traps scale very well simply off the level of the trap. Meaning if you keep up to date with your zones you can stay ahead and deal great damage.

#8 Why Scion over Shadow
Scion allows you to save a few points, and allows easy acess to Iron Reflexes.


#9 Where does your damage come from
Your Gem Levels. Keep them up to date and level them up at all times.


#10 Why does my mana regen suck
Get EB, Run Clarity, Get mana Regen on your gear & use Hybrid ES parts ( MORE MANA = MORE REGEN )


#11 What is my Build
Scion Trapper.


#12 Is it strong Endgame
Yes, you can deal lots of Damage endgame, while having great survivability & CC Potential ( Crowd Control )



#13 is it only for solo or does it work in groups
The build works Great for party play, You can still Deal amazing Damage & Freeze Everything.


#14 Traps vs Reflect Vs Corrupt Blood
This does not affect you.



#15 Do I need to use Uniques
No, You really do not. However if you would like to You can use Deer Stalkers to Level up, or check the " My Gear " Section on the guide to see what Uniques I currently Use.


#16 What mods are best for weapons
Check the Weapons Section On The Guide.


#17 Can you level up as a trapper?
Yes, Look at the video in the guide.


#18 what uniques do you use when Leveling
Deer stalkers, or check the guide.


#19 Why not use Mines
They take too long to setup + Activate & You pretty much have to be melee for most of them.


#20 Gem Quality Order

Currently out of order. Please come back later.

#21 What curse to use and when?
Enfeeble = Works every time
Ele Weakness = - Resists, gives you an overall nice damage boost. ( Helps with freezing )
Vulnerability = Made for single target ( EK + Bear Trap )
Temp Chains = Increased freeze duration.
flammability = Used for leveling
Projectile Weakness = Do not use


#22, what is ur rotation Pohx
Cold Snap - > Ele Weakness before it goes off, -> Fire Trap -> Ethereal Knives

#24 what gear do you look for?
Read above in the gear Section in the guide

#25 CWDT Vs AA
I recently discovered how strong Artic Armor is in general, and having the CWDT gets a bit annoying on chain maps, I much prefer having AA running over CWDT
