[Talisman] MoM/EB/ZO Bladefall/Firestorm Trapper HC ~WIP~

essence drain OP as hell.

i still play essebce + contag. gfg

So i've been toying with how to make this build not clunky as hell. So I know so far that I can spell totem wither which is nice so i dont have to worry about holding it down all the time/mana isn't an issue.

Contagion can go on traps but throwing a trap, casting a totem, and then throwing out an essence drain is just really clunky. So I took the trap out and its still a bit clunky. Idk how are you guys running it?

I guess when i get more AoE it'll help make the effects bounce more but right now it just doesnt bounce as much as I want. of course I did just start trying to switch off firetrap for it

This doesnt work, contagion isnt the dmg here, essence drain is, but cant be used as trap.

At first I was thinking that Essence Drain can be spread via Contagion so this build can still be useful.... but then again this build is all about trap/mine damage with Contagion. I fear that we should attempt to transition to a trap-less build that uses self-cast Essence Drain with Contagion as a means to spread it around. I dunno though.

I'm playing bladefall trapper and is insane lol, i'll update and change the thread completely later today

After realizing that Essence Drain doesn't work with trap, I decided to rework the build for crit if anyone is inteested. Haven't really revised it yet, so forgive any bad pathing or wasted points (could use a second set of eyes) .




The skill effect duration by the scion health wheel is pretty much the only reason that I went that direction. It might be totally unnecessary (depending on current gear levels/ dps/ clear speed), in which case you could travel into the Templar tree, gain +1 Power Charge, some spell damage, and around the same life %.

6L - Essence Drain > Void Manipulation > Rapid Decay > Controlled Destruction > Power Charge on Crit > Empower?

4L - Contagion > Faster Casting > Inc Aoe > Inc Duration

4L > Wither > Faster Casting > Spell Echo > Inc Duration

4L - Blasphemy > Enfeeble > Temp Chains > Assassins Mark

3L - Lightning Warp > Red Duration > Faster Casting

3L - Arctic Armor> ? > ?

Will most likely drop Inc Duration from Wither + Contagion links (probably not wise without skill effect duration from passives), and run them on the x2 3L. In which case I would drop AA into the 4th slot on LW, and run CWDT > IC > Inc Dur + Enduring Cry.

Cool. Wouldnt mind switching out to that.

I'm afraid this can sound pretty stupid but i have to ask - how can I respec these starting elemental damage nodes? Will it be possible to respec them when I get the other starting points for phys/chaos dmg and connect them with the other points?

Logged in on a old 80+ char and with the free rework and tried going for a Bladefall Trapper with the Bear Trap shield. Just for giggles.

I basically said the same thing you did. This is insane lol.

Also.. For moar giggles. Double Bladefall Totems and spam my screen. The players in my party weren't amused with me lagging the shit out of them lel. (It was also pretty effective tbh)

cool, so basicly, bladefall gets the same bonuses like EK, aka etheral knives ?

its a spell

On the tree, "Increased Physical Damage" works, but "Increased Physical Damage with Dagger/Staff/Wand" does not

> ? <


It's affected by +% Global Increased Physical Damage mods on gear


BF / spell totem / Added Fire (or Empower ) / Faster Casting / Spell Echo / ...?



will this work ?
