[3.0] EK Trapper | Shaper down | good Clearspeed
|
Video
NOTE : IM NOT WEARING MY KAOM OR EITHER MY LIFE BELT IN THIS VIDEO T13 Shaped Shore Shaper Kill (im not into Bosskilling)
Build Idea
Im a person which likes EK. Ive played EK only as Selfcast before so i thought why not playing Traps. I was looking for some Trap Builds to get a vague idea of how i should build it. I havent found one good build so i decided to do one by myself. I wanted to make this Build budget in the beginning but if you invest some currency you will still get great damage increases. So i choose Bows , because you dont really care about the Implicit and 6 links are really cheap when it comes to Bows. Your 6 Link also has a lot of Green Gems which is handy aswell.
Gear
my Current Gear: You want a +1 Bow with Spelldamage and one open Suffix for Critmulti or Projectile Speed. I just rolled Deafening Essences of Woe until i got a +1. I got in 4 Essences. I Would say its cheaper if you just trying to get the +1 with rolling Essences instead of the +1 Crafting Method.
Required Gear
Doesnt need to be Linked , try to get good Cooldown and Life roll on it. the Conversion helps for better scaling and the additional Fire Damage is great since we are using a physical Spell. doenst need to have the silence immunity its just QoL
Quality of Life Uniques
Kaoms gives you a good Lifepool and the Fire Damage is good in combination with "the Signal Fire" Quiver Do i really have to say something about this? :) It does increase your Clearspeed. Good for Trap Cooldown and Movementspeed
Ascendancy
Saboteur: Bomb Specialist => Chain Reaction => Explosives Expert => Elemental Damage, Movement Speed => Elemental Damage, Trap and Mine placement Speed
Skilltree
Gems
You can change Trap and Mine Damage for Faster Projectiles
Leveling
I recommend leveling with Bladevortex. BV-Faster Casting/Spell Echo- added Fire- Controlled Destruction - AoE/Conc lvl 30 Skilltree lvl 56 Skilltree keep in mind to take the jewel Slot for EK Trueshhold Jewel lvl 90 Skilltree Last edited by itsJumpy#5202 on Nov 14, 2017, 9:23:01 AM Last bumped on Jun 4, 2018, 2:52:53 AM

Sunblast + assassin would be a decent way to build this character right? Ambush would be pretty strong for map clearing, even tho it seems like you already have a lot of damage, and assassinate good for long boss fights like shaper. And then you get power charge generation and more base crit.
How much crit chance do you have while mapping? Do traps crit individually, or is it all or nothing with cluster traps? ps: you mispelled "Uniques", and "Required" in your spoiler titles.

the Saboteur Ascendancy provides you with a lot of decent effects for your traps like "When your Traps Triggerm your nerby Traps also Trigger" and things like cooldown for your traps. I would say Assassin is not as good as Saboteur.
The Traps are all or nothing as far as i know. ty for mentioning the Misspells. Im german so English isnt my Native Language. |

Great build! I'd really like to see a Shaper run.
I had a similar build in mind when 3.0 launched. I tried very hard to use Tinkerskin + EB + MoM, but I found that I took way too many passive points, so I dumped the build. |

" yes, an assassin with sunblast would definitely be stronger ! |
|
|
what did u choose for Pantheon ?
|
|
" as a minor god i choose Soul of Ryslatha. Pretty Handy for long Bossfights. as a major you can choose what you want. i switch between Soul of Lunaris and Brine King. |

Very nice build. I love ek too, I want build a trapper or miner with it too.
Is there a way around poison for ek or is the nerf for poison to hard? I have almost no currency. Without the empower, tinkerskin and bow it makes no sense? |
