[3.2]Blink & Mirror Arrow Necromancer * Shaper down * Build of the Week * Deadeye version added*

WOW this looks fun to play and leveling!

Update for Ascendancy:

The build is as good as ever.

Apparently Cluster Trap is a "Less Trap Damage" modifier (whereas Multiple Traps was an overall "Less Damage" modifier). This means that a Cluster Trap setup is far stronger than Multiple Traps, and even self-cast mirror arrows, in terms of AoE damage. (Not sure what clears faster though - I still dislike waiting for traps to trigger)

3/1/16: RaizQT is currently playing a Cluster Trap Saboteur Mirror Arrow summoner on his stream. I consider this to be one of the stronger successors to this build. I recommend that you look at his vods/stream if you need guidance.

I have not played PoE since last fall, and will not be doing so until summer. I have to study for my board exams and will be unable to update the guide further. Please direct your questions towards the other players who have contributed in this thread. Thank you all for a great time, and best of luck in Perandus!

Have always enjoyed playing this build. I run the trap variant myself just cause I like traps, even if they are weaker (until, as u say, cluster/ascendacy).

Best of luck with those board exams dariidar!

Hi,

i´m pretty noob :D i played a lvl50 tornado ranger last league, but i was looking through the "Build of the Week"-Videos and found this guide. Looks pretty amazing. i just have no clue what you guys are talking about traps and stuff....

i thought about giving this build a go for the comming league.`i like to play a build where i dont have to walk to the mobs to kill them :)

also i cannot imagine the possibilities and influences of the new Ascendancy changes. Would it make sense that someone capable write a new guide? or maybe update this one (maybe with a newb-section)? :D

anyway, here are some more questions :D

- Good idea to play this character for a starter?
- can i follow this build without having to worry that i waste my time?

i'm doing trap variation with chain reaction. it's pretty strong.

have tested two setups:
a) mirror\blink + trap + cluster trap + chain + WED and rare 35+% WED quiver
b) mirror\blink + trap + cluster trap + gmp + pierce and drillneck

and they seems to clear with about the same speed. I prefer option A, as it gives you some life and res.
ice shot + curse on hit + enfeeble + ele weakness for though mobs / bosses. ice shot allows you to forget about cold damage on rings and gives some chilling effect.

ps: corruption with additional arrow will be superb for my setup

How do you get Chain Reaction if u are not shadow?

I loved this build when I played it before, but Scion no longer seems optimal. While starting Shadow and going Saboteur seems like it allows you to easily trigger traps, I'm not convinced it's better than starting Witch and grabbing all the minion damage ascendancy nodes. Here's my tree:

So guys, I am pretty convinced that Necromancer is the best route. The damage is crazy, you get huge defensive buffs, and you get psuedo-perma-quicksilver.

My build was originally designed to be an aurabot-focused character that just supports clones, so it takes all but one aura cluster. I use Blink-Mirror-Cluster-Trap-lmp-chain in tabula, so I have 6 sets of 4 clones to throw, and I take the 30% reduced cd on traps. I use cheap construction x 5 + sunblast to instant-detonate traps. Basically, I can throw out 24 clones out in a short amount of time, each lasting 3.9 seconds, and all having hugely increased damage due to Necro nodes, detonating corpses (and getting you that 35% block!), and putting out 4 auras (24% damage, 8% attack speed).

I am only level 80 atm but I am pretty sure this is the best you can get. Not having to aim your traps is a godsend. This build is also SUPER fun to play in PVP (aside from getting murdered before casting auras).

Someone asked me in game for my skill tree, so here it is: http://exilecraft.org/#AAAAAwMABAcI9BVQFm8XLxg8GFYZihqPHNwdFB2qIvQkqiSwKPovbzWSNuk6WDrhQYdFnUZxR8pJUUmxTLNN41NSVcZV1lcrWpFfKl+wZKpk52o2akNqrGvbbAttGW+ecLt9GH/GgKSCx4MJg9uExYUyhWCPGo9Gj/qTJ5rgm4aboZu1oS+mV6cIqH2qxKyYtAy3PriTvOq9J72CvorAVMHFwzrKSsrTzLzQH9P718/YvdkT2t3fiuGI42rpAuvk6+7sGOyK74jv6/DV8kX22vfX+Tf56PrS+wn+Cv5J/o/+sw==

atm 3500hp 400~ es, no life on gear really. I am planning on respeccing once im wealthy enough to poison damage and dropping the auras. I decided to change from hybrid to hp and auras to curses mainly because I pvp (poison is retarded) and because I dont play with people that really benefit from my auras. ATM I am still aurabot though.
