[TEMPEST] RaizQT's Poison trapper [lvl97+ top 20] BUILD OF THE WEEK + ATZIRI KILL!

I really wish I could have had some time to work on this build on the Taiwan servers, but my ping was just way too damn high.

I dont understand why anyone wouldnt take Clever Construction. I feel it is vital in a trapper build. There are so many enemies that can fuck your traps up, like Whirlwinders and Leapers and AoE users.

I have decided to select two or three builds to work on myself to improve them, instead of just getting a build to 75ish and picking up a new one. I really like this build, and I want to work on an Ice Shot build after the initial leveling rush in the new leagues. Have not decided what to do for the third one yet. We shall see.

I never really found a need for clever construction and I leveled this build to 92 in ambush just have to get used to throwing it directly on the enemy.

Other than that, if you go to the CC cluster, its eight points for 39% damage. Cannot really get that anywhere else. I cannot bring myself to get the Sniper cluster because you have to take a shitty, worthless node to get to it.

What's your tree look like mind sharing the link?

Mine has a total of 104% increased trap damage without even touching the CC cluster. Not to mention the 71% damage over time and 79% chaos damage for a total of 254% extra damage. The CC cluster only offers a total of 32% more trap damage and that is if you take a useless node called High Explosives to get to the 5% extra damage node otherwise you can get the three 9% nodes that are decent...

The location of sniper was simply convenient. If sniper wasn't there, I would still go up to get the efficient life and mana nodes while picking up 30 strength. Coordination is useless, true, but worth it to get some amazing nodes.


To put it simply:

CC wheel - 8 points to get nodes
27% trap damage
12% trap throw speed
Traps cannot be destroyed for 5 seconds

Blood siphon + Soul Siphon + Sniper - 10 points to get nodes
24% max life
30 strength
26% mana
+10 mana
28% projectile damage


If you want CC, I would drop some less efficient nodes, not Blood and Soul Siphon + Sniper.

Here is what it is looking like right now.



131% Trap Damage
79% Chaos Damage
71% Damage Over Time
=
281%

If I did some changes to get the Sniper nodes, Id drop the Golem's Blood cluster to go up and get the Sniper nodes, the Life/Mana clusters. Putting my damage increases over 300%

The tree I posted and others optimized/shared variations (linked previously somewhere) is for level 90, has the same trap, chaos damage, and DoT damage but another 28% projectile damage damage, 12% area damage, and 16% increased AoE. 182% life at 90 with enough mana to support level 20 AA (almost positive, haven't tested). Levels after 90 are spent getting more life.

Mine is very similar to yours without the proj damage and more life regen/mana regen. I want to focus more on surviving so I can kill atziri just like in last leagues and I only used a 5L bow this time should be no problem getting a 6L so that will raise my damage significantly.

That's a level 100 build with the same damage as the level 90 build, same mana, less life, less armor, less elemental resists, and not enough strength (need 75 more on gear for Reduced Mana). Not meaning to bash but a more efficient tree has already been posted. The flask nodes above Blast Radius don't seem to be worth getting anymore, as we already have 80% life recovery from flasks and 20% recovery speed. Blood Siphon and Soul Siphon are superior to Cruel Preparation and Deep Thoughts, as the latter don't offer strength, have less life, and don't have sniper sitting directly next to them. Golem's Blood should be dropped in favor of the Scion life wheel and potentially Shaper if you need more mana regen or strength.

Yeah, life regen is definately nice for Atziri. However with the new life flasks and amount of recovery from them, I'm not sure that as much is needed.

EDIT: oh, you can drop a couple of 9% damage nodes to pick up sniper, 28% proj damage for 2 nodes.
