[1.0.6] Poison arrow/fire trap EB MoM degen build (Cheap and effective and BUFFED CRAZILY IN 1.0.6)
|
PATCH 1.1.X : Look at raizQT build , it's just superior to mine in every way http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/883344
PATCH 1.0.6 : Gained 60% damage at gem level 22 on my poison arrow. Holy. Fuck. Video about the build : http://youtu.be/fuRzpabaxY0 My stream where you can ask me questions and maybe see the build in action : http://www.twitch.tv/nicosuper Hello boys and girls ! Today I'm presenting to you my latest build which I like a lot. The purpose of it is to apply nasty degens to the ennemies to kill them quickly, while also being very tanky and all of that for very little currency investment and viable for high level maps ! So let's get started :
The passive tree
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAm40ILu2DGY4AXtN-73p9de4O_rpW-iP2u-N0QfzF7_DEot1f3Q1noFpIlwa7TSzpW6-Hdi2DZ_wVIE4qGNtKfRmKKk2D2ymlrUp08Zu1-wk_J_xLUq8hYIUywzr22krIznHNJkCgykpWLYngGo9uqmwWBS2euW-erH_mWLXyYEuDCZMfNZJ670ZxSRP-j6xZdO20DOGITeOI8ZMnHaqmV-djHNzcVzrhMZ7-Cn_G8XYelPJFwcURlqw_7BiIQnC7p1y00YIe2RNJUSQ8doLbCy9vWm3IDA== Progression : Rush to corruption first , then to growth and decay , then Iron reflexes , then go up from ranger and grab Charisma , mana geyser and Method to the madness and finally go up to grab Entropy , the rest of the auras nodes , and Eldritch battery all of that while grabbing life nodes on the way.
How to level as this spec
Follow the progression listed in the passive tree section, grab a +1 bow or better yet a Silverbranch unique bow and level with poison arrow and fire trap. It won't be amazing to begin with but as you start to get those DoT nodes it will get better and better. Then just throw traps and poison arrow to the mobs , and viper strike the rares/bosses. Doesn't get any easier than that.
The links needed
Poison arrow 4L : Poison arrow + Empower + Concentrated Effect + Slower projectiles 5L : add Culling strike 6L : add faster projectiles Fire trap 4L : Fire trap + Elemental proliferation + Chance to Ignite + Burning damage 5L : Add fire penetration (quality if possible) 6L : Add level 2+ Empower Auras : Reduced mana + Discipline + Grace + Clarity Viper strike swap : Viper strike + Increased duration + Empower
The gear needed
+3 bow , +3 melee weapon for viper strike, ev/es gear, jewelry with mana/manaregen. That's it Here's what a +3 bow is (no need for 5L ) : If a +3 bow is not available/cost too much , get a +1/+1 so you can still get +3 to the gem with empower, will be a bit slower but it will still be pretty good. Same for the viper strike swap , +1/+1 is fine. The rest of my gear for reference :
Spoiler
How to run Arctic armour
First you need Eldritch battery, won't be able to run this while leveling. Then check your mana regen after all auras , check the total cost of AA here : http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Arctic_Armour (you need to add both values, mana drain and additional mana drain to get the total mana degen per second) and level one to the level where you can run it comfortably (give it a little leeway , if you get next to no regen you'll be out of mana all the time because of poison arrow/fire trap cost and mind over matter)
Bandits rewards
Normal : Help Oak Cruel and Merciless : Kill all
Map playstyle
Curse vulnerability , fire poison arrow , throw a fire trap : Watch as everything dies before your very eyes. Viper strike/Vulnerability bosses and rares aswell. And there we go , I think that wraps it up for this build :) Any question/ thing I missed ? Don't hesitate to ask me here or on my stream : http://www.twitch.tv/nicosuper Thanks for passing by, and have a good day.

It's scary how similar this is to a build I made in the tree a couple days ago:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAF4ILhGWGNsZihmOGo8c3B2qHpQj9iSdKaUtgy9vRitGcUkTSVFKfU4qTptSr1YtVvpaSFuvYlpnoGf8b55wu3RBdPF2gni6fXV_xoIegwmFMod2iEKJ4JMfkyeXBpuNm7Wfe6dcrD-sf61KtAy00btNu-PBxcM6xKLIDMpKzSbTftkT2wvcV90N3V_hiOZY7Bjtg-4O73rv8PF29tr7CfzF_ro= Though I took some nodes you didn't along the pathing and I didn't decide what I wanted to do with 20 or so end game skill points. |

How much would a decent +3 bow cost?

" Mine costed 15 chaos It's usually around 1 exalted for one IGN : @Supernico

It looks like many of us got similar ideas about combining Poison Arrows and Fire Traps.
However, I thought you would be using both Fire traps and Poison Arrows traps (with the trap support gem) and, obviously, using Trap passives (instead of chaos dmg passives) that would benefit both. That's what I would do anyway. Btw, why didn't you take the 3 passives that gives +45% skill duration, south of Scion starting position ? It would greatly benefit both Poison arrows and Fire traps.

" Skill duration is pretty useless in my opinion , not a real problem to rethrow traps or recast poison arrow once or twice , most of the time they die before you have to do that anyway Don't put poison arrow on traps , trust me. They go in random directions , you can't fire as much as you'd like, you can't kite as efficiently and most importantly you have no control on them since they fire anywhere If you watch my video you can see I put a lot of poison arrows to cover a very large area , something that's just impossible to do with the trap gem IGN : @Supernico

Do you think it's possible to do this build starting off with a little bit of currency? I've been playing for a while but I haven't been able to sucessfully make it to maps due to the dropping off of my builds with unlucky gear drops
