lightning coil is good for every build if you want more survivability
since 30% phys damage convert to lightning

Forgive me for being pedantic here, but...

Lightning Coil is certainly not good for every build... but for this build, it's good if you're simply worried about mitigating incoming physical damage.

For builds focusing on life or on armor (and probably in some other cases as well), Lightning Coil won't be your best defensive option, even against incoming physical damage. It gets complicated, though, so often you'd need to run an Effective Life calculation to be sure. And even so, it's murky because other considerations come into play - other damage types, possible loss of DPS, etc.
======
Back to this build...

If you equip Lightning Coil in this build, incoming physical damage is reduced, but your DPS goes down; moreover, you'll need to cope with the -60% lightning resist intrinsic to LC and, LC's physical damage conversion doesn't help against other damage types (chaos, elemental, etc.).

Carcass Jack's increased AOE radius (probably causes Ice Trap explosions to sometimes/always overlap for 2x or more damage) and - to a much lesser extent - increased Area Damage are a form of defense; if stuff dies faster, stuff does less damage.
=======
So it's a toss up for me.

I went with Carcass Jack hoping to kill stuff before it kills me; but to improve defense, I went with Heretic's Veil + temporal chains and enfeeble; for curse immune maps I'll equip an evasion helmet and go with Anger + HoI.

And for certain encounters, you're going to be 1-shot if you're hit anyhow; in which case, optimize DPS so that the encounter ends as soon as possible.

my new stats:

4750 life 40/46 dodge 4500 eva and


frenzy + power charges

<carcass + enchantment 8% ice trap radius neutralise conc eff>

why dont you use expeditious munitions?

its right next to acro and would help this build a lot

Why dont you take the Method of the Madness and Expeditious Munitions node? Its really close by

Hey Dude,

i playing with your guide and its fantastic. i leveling as trapper and rushing like hell. now i have my equipment, second dagger and all these stuff. but atm im a little bit confused about your gemsettings. can you maybe repeat the gem settings or are the settings on the front page still legit? (clarity + Herald of ice + blasphemy(temporal chains) (with enlighten lvl2)) i counting 5 gems, how i can build this? (using already boots with vaal settings)

sorry for bad englisch :)

regards,
edelnerd

ps: is the 8% enchant from lab?

Well, Carracas Jack is possible option. But 6l version. Need to link it first before i can drop tabula :(

ps. It will take some time, recently became a father so... :S Lurking on forums at work keeps me going :)

Good luck on fatherhood (and 6l'ing that CJack). I have a pretty hectic life as well. Logged in this morning briefly to run a quick atziri. Cadiro sold me 20 fuse and I nailed the 6l on the 12th!

I'd try this build, but I've only got a 5 link carcass and a legacy consuming dark lol

I just killed uber atziri at my first attempt.

Thanks for nice bulid

Ya, pls update your first post.
Where do we even get Power Charges from?
