Hi Miraio,

Enjoying the build so far. What would recommend for gearing through the lower levels? Did you use traps from level 1?

Yes, fire trap, bear trap and lighting trap are still very nice skills at lower level, and i liked to use them (especially fire trap) even if i didn't make a trap build. The weapon with +1 or +2 fire/cold/lighting gem mod is a good choice at lower level.

i want to try this but what does it mean when the guy asked you how to deal with chaos damage you said you equipped the "shiv" what exactly are you talking about

and what auras and gear do we need to use i see you have alot of reserved life and mana but nothing about what aruas or anything elase about the gear ? i want try the build but its not worth it withoutthat info cuz i would just get lost

I meant "Shavronne's Wrappings". The chaos damage cant bypass the es.

I equipped malachai's simula to cast vitality and discipline and then equipped my helmet to cast clarity.

Today, let's talk about why i could make enemies three shock effects or frozen for a long time by dropping a trap? how it work?

1.How to make enemies shock or frozen?
a. Elemetal damage deal a critical strike.
b. Your gears, passives or skill gems offered chance to shock or chance to freeze. When you hit enemies and got a shock or freeze roll, the enemies would be shocked or frozen.

2.Chance to shock and freeze: How it roll? is it same as critical strike?

From wiki, we knew Critical Strikes are rolled on a per-action basis, not per-monster. So each time you use a skill, the Critical Strike roll is made once and only once. If you roll a Critical Strike, you will deal Critical damage to all enemies hit by the skill. But chance to shock or freeze is different. Chance to shock or freeze are rolled on "per-monster". The test video is here(http://youtu.be/zO5RBIkD0ak).
My lv93 char picked resolute technique(your hits can't be evaded/ Never deal critical strike). So if i made enemies shock or frozen, that were from chance to shock or freeze. My shock nova gem offered 30% chance to shock and cold snap offered 39% chance to freeze. The video showed chance to shock or freeze are rolled on "per-monster".

3.The chance of shock or frozen

a.Shock

The passive(static blow, chance to shock) offered 20% (10%+10%) chance to shock.
The Q20 shock nova offered 30% chance to shock.
Total chance to shock is 50%.

PS. the passive, shock near shadow also offered 5% chance to shock.

b.Frozen

The passive didn't offer chance to freeze.
The lv20 cold snap offered 44% chance to freeze.
The Q20 added cold damage skill gem offereed 10% chance to freeze.
Total chance to freeze is 54%.

PS. the passive, freeze near shadow also offered 5% chance to freeze.


c.My spell critical chance is about 23% to shock nova and cold snap.


d.Roll process

1st: roll critical strike 23%.

2nd: roll chance to shock or freeze to every enemies.

3th: shock or frozen status effects spread to other enemies by elemental proliferation skill gem.


4.How it work at one or many enemies.

a. One enemy

Shock nova

One action could drop three shock nova trap.It would roll critical strike once and chance to shock three times.
the chance of three shock status:
23% x [50%x50%x50%x3] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%] = 8.625% + 9.625% = 18.25%

the chance of two shock status :
23% x [50%x50%x50%x3] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%x3] = 8.625% + 28.875% = 37.5%

the chance of one shock status :
23% x [50%x50%x50%] + 77% x [50%x50%x50%x3] = 2.875% + 28.875% = 31.75%

the chance of zero shock status :
100% - 18.25% - 37.5% - 31.75% = 12.5%


Cold snap

It's more difficult to hit one enemy three times by cold snap because its skill area is smaller. I assumed enemy could be hit twice.

Chance of frozen status:
1 - 77% x [46%x46%] = 1 - 16.3% = 83.7%


b. more enemies

Assumed we met enemy "A" and enemy "B". When "A" got one shock status and "B" got one shock status, the result is A and B got two shock status because of elemental proliferation. The analyses are very complex, so i didn't count the real chance.(If someone is interested, help me. :) ) When we met 3 enemies, the chance without shock effects is 0.195%.(12.5%x12.5%x12.5%) We understand why this build could make enemies 3 shcok effects or froze by dropping one trap.

Are you suggesting we switch to the build in the new vid? :)

I'm still enjoying levelling using traps, lightning, fire, cold snap, freezing pulse etc. My gear sucks but I seem to be doing ok in normal. I'm gradually building up my gems when I get the currency.

What did you do for rotations though the levelling process? And any other tips you may of missed would be great to help the levelling process.

Good stuff so far.

How feasible, if at all, would it be to do a similar build that is HP focused. Not everyone can afford the Shav's. I'm assuming Chaos Damage maps would be a problem since you couldn't get a ton of HP nodes, but what do you think? Thanks :)

was actually respecing toward a frost trap build from a build that used lightning warp and in the deerstalkers as its main skill instead.

was really good just got really bored, is there any chance that lightning warp would work better than shock nova here? remember each lw trap can potentially hit twice aoe for a total of 6 hits per throw. remember, you lose +3% per quality shock duration but you gain much more than 1.5% shock chance and damage.

Tip about solo farming or leveling

You can pick elemental equilibrium(EE) and that will raise your damage quite much. My lv79 witch in video(farming 73maps) didn't pick EE, but you could see the trap damage have been very nice. If you picked EE, your damage would become huge. I didn't pick EE because there were 1-2 freeze pulse witches in my fixed map group. When you solo farmed or leveled you char, it's a good choice to pick EE.

Rotation with EE
1.Shock Nova
2.Cold Snap / Fire trap
3.Fire trap / Cold snap
4.Lighting trap / Shock nova
Repeat.....

Rotation without EE
1.Shock Nova
2.Cold Snap
3.Drink a coffee (because all enemies had been frozen :P)
4.Drop all traps
5.Pick your loots :)
