What chest armor would you recommend? I'm planning to make a crit trapper, but can't decide between a carcass jack and a nice eva/es rare. I can afford either one with 5L, don't think a 6L is necessary, but can't make up my mind. What are the (dis)advantages of Carcass?
Carcass = Low life, low ES, Decent Armor, More OVerall Damage, Bigger AoE
Other chest = Potential Higher life, Should get way Higher mana, Resist + Chaos resist if chosen

Pohx,
Love the build man. Scion EK Trapper has been the most fun I have had in POE especially once I got my trap + multi-trap + cold snap + elemental prolif setup.
Sadly I ripped last night to a pack of flame dogs in cruel docks due them shaking the freeze faster than expected. It definitely taught me that over confidence gets you dead, no matter how strong your character feels. I'm not sure if I want to re-roll or continue on in standard league yet.
I did however want to talk about a link I was using with fire trap while leveling, Iron Will. I didn't really have a lot of currency and the gem dropped for me (3 actually) and a red green 2-link was pretty easy to come by. The build has some strength early on so it seemed to be worthwhile at least until I could get a more desirable gem.
I was wondering if you have tried this and if it's maybe worth mentioning in the leveling section of the guide.
Thanks for putting the guide and videos together
EDIT:
Also I took Oak in cruel to scale the phys damage of bear trap and ek. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this for the long term, 18% phys damage vs. 1 skill point.
For a non crit trapper the phys dmg scaling off Cruel is fine, it's actually what I used to pick up.
As for iron will, the build really doesn't have as much strength as you might think, I would much prefer like an AoE increase for firetrap for leveling or multi trap

In the 'Links' area he has Lightning Trap, but Pohx doesn't use Lightning Trap on stream and later down he claims he never does either. He uses EK instead? With what links?
I feel as if the OP needs to be updated generally. Some inconsistencies.
The build changes literally every day and if you look at the " Party Play Crit Trapper " you'll see that it in fact does state about shock nova, It's extremely difficult to update this build everytime something new is discovered so I would rather wait for big changes
Shock Nova 20% Quality > Lightning Trap
Lightning Trap > Shock Nova 0% Quality
Thanks for the reply, Phox. I've been watching some of your videos lately to try and get some information I may have missed. I'll read over the OP again.
Cheers.

It's no problem at all, just remember you can ask for specific content here or on the live stream, I know it's a a lot to read on the guide lol

Thanks for the reply. I curently have a r g b 3 link available for fire trap. I was thinking of picking up increased burning damage and elemental prolif, but do you think aoe increase would be better in the blue socket?

Fire Pen, AoE, Fire trap
or replace aoe with conc/multi traps is what an Ideal 3L is

Pohx, I've tried your non crit build and it is pretty solid. I find that boss killing is slightly slow, but when I watched your recent boss walkthroughs I see that you are using the crit version with great success and dmg. In the video, are you using party crit or just solo crit?
Do you mind making a video of a map completed solo using your crit build?
Something like the "many near rips" video, but all solo.
Thanks!
