[GUIDE] The Tri-nuke -version1.3

At what lvl does the lightning warp begin to shine? Any specific items that is a must, or passive nodes?

I'm currently lvl 42, and using the deerstalkers, until I get better armor. got lightning warp linked with multi trap, lightning pen and testing with concentrated effect, but I feel it misses alot, and not a reliable source of dmg.

Right now I feel its better to use fire trap, bear trap and lightning trap.

Grab the 3 "Life and mana" nodes across from Clever Construction. Grab the three life nodes in the middle of the shadow tree, then head up to The penetrating Trap/Mine notable.

Its hard for me to say when this begins to shine the most. As I've said before, I didn't begin using this build until the late 50's. I originally intended some other form of lightning caster before experimenting to get this, so it's hard for me to comment on how the first 50ish levels should go.

Basically this is happening because by the time you get lightning warp, your lightning trap gem should already be levelled to lvl 9 or 10, and it will outdamage the warp for some time until you get to higher content and the difference between gem levels will be less.

Don't link it to concentrated effect - since it drastically reduces the blast radius, without Carcass Jack warp traps will miss a lot, just as you said. Link it to added lightning / chaos damage for example, or even increasd blast radius.

Yeah, its probably not a good idea to link up conc. effect until you have a carcass jack and the witch area notable. Hook up crit chance or multi til you reach the 60's and can switch to the final setup. Added light damage is also a good choice.

I am Testing out increased aoe now as my "5th" gem, in the Deerstalkers. Lightning Warp worked alot better. Can't wait to get my hands on some of the uniques to make this build better :) Also testing out Lightning trap with chain, multi cast, elemental proliferation. That combined with conductivity makes everything on my screen pretty much shocked, and its just fun to watch my lightning traps chain reaction :)

This build just keeps getting better and better!

I'm curious, what's your min-max tooltip damage on lightning warp?

I've also tried multi-lightning warp traps on my Lvl 82 trapper. Like you, I one shot things in Docks and low lvl maps in solo play but in party play I feel sustained damage is needed more...

How is partying like for you?

screw it, just ripped on my super tanky lv 78 char, time to try something more squishy :D could you comment on how this build does in high level maps though? 3K life seems INSANLY low (want to try it on nemesis)

I don't like to play in large parties. When I map it is either solo or in a group of 2-3 people. In these situations, things still die extremely fast. The few times I joined with a larger group, the play is a bit different. You end up burning two tri-nukes to take out a rare, then your shit is on cool down. As you suspect, the sustain is lacking. I end up warping on top of stragglers while I wait for more traps.

I mean, don't get me wrong. Its cool watching your group wittle away at a mob with extra life mod or something and then you walk up and obliterate its remaining 3/4th of a life bar. As far as survival goes, it all depends on how well you pull off the mobile play style. the skill cap here is much higher than my sorc for example who walks up to the boss and blasts it in the face while face-tanking. If you cannot play smart and move out of the way to avoid rough situations, you will die.

I have already sent a Nemesis variant to a few people, once I return to my desktop I could send it to you as well.

Edit: Forgot to answer your question. My current tool tip min Max display is roughly 21x - 40xx

Hey mate, awesome build.

I had just ripped in Nemisis and unfortunately had just spent all my currency so was struggling on what to play next. then i saw your post. I started using LW with Trap & MT from level 24; even at the low levels it is quite super fun happy time.

however as i am as broke as a $2 hooker having a half price sale and my gear is really, really shit i am using whatever i find along the way. Having deerstalkers would definitely help until you reach 50 and by then your gems would have leveled to 11 so you may as well switch them out for something better. I have just hit 51 but in nemisis but just not doing enough damage. when linking withc conc effect the traps tooltip is at 7xx which will kill most things in one hit but without the extra radius it can be a struggle so for now am leaving conc effect out and just throwing down two traps per mobs and it seems to be quite effective.

i am complementing these on some rare mobs and bosses with bear trap then fire trap and of course ele weakness. just spamming the bear and fire traps they go down before you run out.

Anyway thanks for the post...enjoying the nuking so far
