Thinking about running this build for 3.5 but I am not so sure. I love the concept of self casting ( trap playstyle wears me out), but does this build fair well early game and can it do tier 7 or so without much investment ( starter gear). I was planning to do this or a bv elementalist but I am just wondering. I know you list starting condition's for mapping but I assume you mean white maps and not yellow. ( I hope I am not just forgetting to read something if I did I apologize and just tell me to go back and read :) )

Not sure how much it means but I've started playing at the beginning of the week more or less and I decided to give this build a try, with budget gear everything is easy, I did buy an Inpulsa and Fragility but the rest was all very cheap 5c and under gear and everything is trivial. Map clearing is fast and easy and although single target is not that great, with flasks you can down white/yellow map bosses easily. Atziri is a breeze. I'd guess if you have Tabula, you can easily get things done until you can snag an Inpulsa. Decoy totems makes everything safe. I just alch and go for maps, haven't found a single combination of map mods that wreck me up. Just farm Tabula (and now Channels is T1), try to get a Wise Oak and Atziri's Promise and you'll be golden for early mapping I'd say.

I found one on poe.trade a few weeks ago with...cannot regenerate life/mana/ES and cannot leech life/mana. To be fair, I doubt any build could reliably do those mods. Other than something like that we can do any map with any mods. Very safe for running unidentified maps.

Builds that use Life gain on hit shouldn't be too bothered.

Am I the only one to spam F5 here to see the updated guide? :D

Just wanted to thank you for all your work! Delve was my first league and I kind of followed this guide and somehow ended up as a meh arc witch with 8 golems. Made it to 88 165 delve T12, but had tons of fun. I'm rereading the guide now and there is so much I missed the first time through! All of the effort you put into the side stuff - how to find gear, etc. actually makes sense now :) Great job and an awesome intro to the game for new players!

Can i start this build in HC? Seem's good, but idk about survivability

im not sure which build i start... Arc Trapper or this one? This looks incredible and i like selfcasting Builds more than Builds like Totem / Mine / Trap.....
..... just waiting for an update! :-)

Me too!
I think molten or selfcast arc. Really hard choice ;)

Is it possible to use CI with this build?

Thanks for the guide.

Maybe, but you’d have to rework the entire tree to avoid wasted health nodes and reach the correct keystones. Where you’d really hurt is on Inpulsas. Otherwise you could tailor the rest of your gear to be CI appropriate.
