[2.6] [SC/HC] Saboquisitor MoM Pure Cold damage with Hrimburn [77-158 less cold res]
 Hello guys (sorry my english), I was doing a build of Blast Rain Miner and was very dissatisfied with the results. So I decided to make a trapper using spells with another character. At first I was wanting to test a trapper using only Frost Bomb trap , so I was leveling and using Ice Trap to help. But the combination of Frost Bomb trap and Ice Trap was so successful that now use both being still Frost Bomb the main skill (until 6L) and Ice trap secondary skill (only 4L). I killed Dominus and Voll very fast level 64. Level 63 I did full clear a Desert Map (level 68) no problems. I'm so excited about the results that the level 65 character is killing everything very fast and decided to share with you. Over time I will updating. Goal with this build: - Kill all white and blue mobs just using 1 or 2 traps. - Cheap and powerfull (cheap 5L with Deerstalker). - Tank enough to be viable hardcore. - Accumulate as much AoE the tree + gear to avoid having to use Increased AoE gem. - The defensive set based on MoM + largue free pool mana (using only clarity max level and AA) + gear + others temporary defenses (flasks + fortify + Blinding Assalt). - Very easy to play and very fast to clear. - High reduced cold resistance to strong enemies. - It be viable high tier maps same using Deerstalker. Buff to elemental builds in the 2.5.0 patch!  This mod appears at slightly higher values in higher-tier maps. This will replace the element-specific resistance mods. They'll no longer be able to appear on maps. Map tier 1 (white) is 20%, tier 2 (yellow) is 30% and tier 3 (red) is 40%. Buff of 40% more damage in tier 3 maps with this mod. How it work? Basically you will spam traps (70% trap recovery cooldown) to all be destroyed and what not die your ignite damage will end the service. With until -158% of cold resistence theoretically this is even better than inquisitor in several situations (making enemies have negative resistance). This tree you have 5 sockets and you'll use until 3 Unstable Payload (buy well rolled with at least 10%), you'll have al least 40% of chance for traps to trigger an additional time, and 1 Hair Trigger, then imagine the damage with until -158% of cold resistance. Play style Use Ice Trap to kill white and blues (sometimes use Bomb Frost in blue, depending on the case) and massive Frost Bomb in uniques with spam of Ice Trap, kills very fast. How -158% less cold resistance? Cold Penetration level 21 (38%) + High Explosives (10%) + Explosive Expert (10%) + Frost Bomb (-20% cold resistance) + Level 21 Elemental Weakness (40%) + Level 21 Frostbite (40%) = -158% less cold resistance. Elemental Weakness will increase the ignite damage give by Hrimburn. Bosses has 60% less curse effect, then against bosses you'll have -110% less cold resistance. :) This build becomes less efficient against unique monsters if you have a map with prefix +x% monster elemental resistance.

The damage shown here is estimated by the Path of Building at level 91, with some math additions made by me, you can see in practice how strong this combination is, you can play up to 9 traps at the same time with all of them triggered without fail ensuring full damage. Against stronger enemies (like bosses) you'll throw 9 Bomb Frost trap (all will be triggered) and then throw 9 Ice Traps (which will also be triggered), totaling 18 traps with up to 30% more damage at level 91 (Unstable Payload). Consider that for calculation of ignite dps I will use a perfect Cloak of Flame of 50% increased Ignite Duration on Enemies.
Ice trap simple (no curses applied), used against white and blue trash:  8464 x 9 = 76176 With Unstable Payload 76176 * 1,3 = 99028 Total Ignite dps = 6176 * 6 = 37056 Total dps = 99028 + 37056 = 136084 dps Bomb Frost simple (no curses applied), used against blue with elemental resist:  13272 x 9 = 119448 With Unstable Payload 119448 * 1,3 = 155282 Total Ignite dps = 12733 * 6 = 76398 Total dps = 155282 + 76398 = 231680 dps Ice trap full (with curses applied), used against stronger mobs like rare monsters with elemental resistance and unique monsters (exiles, bosses, mini-bosses, etc):  9618 x 9 = 86562 With Unstable Payload 86562 * 1,3 = 112530 Total Ignite dps = 6035 * 6 = 36210 Total dps = 112530 + 36210 = 148740 dps Bomb Frost full (with curses applied), used against stronger mobs like rare monsters with elemental resistance and unique monsters (exiles, bosses, mini-bosses, etc):  13543 x 9 = 121887 With Unstable Payload 119448 * 1,3 = 158453 Total Ignite dps = 11174 * 6 = 67004 Total dps = 158453 + 67004 = 225497 dps Leveling Guide

In begin use Freeze Pulse and run until Clever Construction, before level 35. Then use to leveling Ice Trap + Cold Snap with Trap. At level 50, you can remove cold snap and use Frost Bomb in your 5L Deerstalker.
I recommend Izaro always go a little beyond the ilvl shown. Go normal Izaro around level 45 or more. Go cruel Izaro level 60 or more. Go merciless Izaro when you feel safe. From level 60 you have prepared your CwdT set and farm Dried Lake until level 78. Before to farm maps, already have at least your CwdT set and your chest (rare armour until have Cloak of Flame). Use a rare dagger with at least 120% increased critical chance (global + spell) and with flat cold damage to spells.

Hrimburn
 Mandatory this glove. With this you cold damage can ignite and your ignite damage is very strong. Same with the nerf in DoT (traps and mines damage dont more affect DoT) you high base damage + high penetration + your high critical multiplier = strong ignite. Against bosses with immunity to ignite, use Maligaro's Virtuosity. With the 2.6 patch this item gained a small, but very good, flat cold damage to spells. :D Deerstalker  Very very usefull item, mandatory until you have a real 5L. Warped Timepiece  Very usefull to your Frost Bomb explodes more fast. The increased attack speed will help you to increase your clear speed. Cloak of Flame  Great option to hardcore. Nice physical damage mitigation. Well rolled you can have until 50% more ignite damage. Carcass Jack  Dont is mandatory you have this chest, but It is certainly a great option to softcore league. Hardcore depends of your physical damage mitigation. Doedre's Damning  With this you'll use 2 curses on enemies. I recommend using this item only when you have 5L on the chest, because without good items will be difficult you get caped elemental res. But if you have elemental res, use this. Remove this if you get a corrupted +1 curse amulet. Optional but very useful Dagger: Divinarius The AoE bonus + spell damage + critical chance + mana/life gain on kill is perfect to this build. Cost: around 20-30c Attack speed: medium Sword: Daresso's Passion Perma (60 to 80)% increased Damage (it double dips with ignite) while you have no Frenzy Charges, with this +3 natural Frenzy charges you'll have 3 frenzy charges (in other words, 12% of cast speed, 12% of attack speed and 12% MORE DAMAGE). Cost: 1 alchemy Attack speed: medium/high with 4 Frenzy charges. Gloves Only use this glove against enemies with immunity to ignite. Maligaro's Virtuosity This item will give to you medium critical chance and multiplier. Rare Items A rare good dagger with at least 140% critical chance to spells (global + spell) is very good and flat cold damage. Flat cold damage in the dagger is very important because that Frost Bomb has 130% of damage effectiveness and Ice Trap 110%. Plus is critical multiplier and attack speed in the dagger. The rest of gear the normal: life, mana and resists. Example of Gear (my currenty gear):
Spoiler
Links 5L (Deerstalker): Trap + Frost Bomb + Cluster Traps + Less Duration + Cold Penetration + 6L: Empower or Added Cold Damage gem 4L: Ice Trap + Cluster Trap + Critical Chance or Added Cold Damage gem + Cold Penetration 4L: Arc + Curse on Hit + Frostbite + Elemental Weakness. Auras and buffs You'll use only Clarity max level + Arctic Armour. Bandits Oak, Kill, Alira. Jewels 3 Unstable Payload + 1 Hair Trigger.

" " Cast When Damage Taken defense Basic and mandatory set CwdT (Level 1) + Immortal Call (Level 3) + Increased Duration (max level, if possible q20%) + Arctic Breath. Your Immortal Call will save your life many times and Arctic Breath (Level 4) will chill the ground and complicate to enemies. You can have other CwdT set CwdT (Level 1) + Greater Multiples Projectiles + Lightning Ball + Knockback. With this you can away very efficiently threats that are very close to you.

Playing with this build, I'm level 72 now. This is my gear for now:
Spoiler
I added 3 videos showing how at low levels it is already powerful, but I recommend before starting maps or go merciless Malachai you to farm until level 78 Dried Lake (before that you are a little fragile - take care if you play hardcore).

BTW, Elemental Weakness and Frost Bomb aren't penetration. They apply before penetration is calculated.
Say there was an enemy with 140% Cold resistance, although he is capped at 75. Your curse would reduce him to 100% cold res (still capped at 75), then frost bomb would reduce him to 80% cold resistance (still capped at 75). Then Penetration kicks in, and your 58 Cold pen reduces him to a cold resistance of 17. You actually have 58 Cold Pen and 60 Cold Resistance reduction. Theorycrafter/Build Creator for PORTAL guild

" Yes, but even powerful monsters do not usually have elemental resistance greater than 50% on maps. For example, Merveil the Returned: http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Merveil%2C+the+Returned Merveil has 45% to elemental resistance and 22% to chaos resistance. If a boss has a rare mob close with elemental resistance aura yet I do not think it reaches 80. If the map has top tier prefix with 80% elemental resistance, then yes the build becomes less efficient. 45 + 80 = 125% of elemental resistance. The Frost Bomb + Elemental Weakness is almost useless. Inquisitor these maps really have advantage. But the normal is that sometimes you will roll a map with top or mid tier prefix with +60% cold resistance, in most cases there will be in fact a pseudo penetration. Guides made by me:
