[3.15] EXPLOSIVE / FLAMETHROWER TRAP Saboteur Build. Cheapest League Starter for ALL CONTENT!

How are you getting 148% life from the tree in PoB? I checked my build and have all the same life slots allocated including a few more than you, yet I'm at 115% life from the tree.

I'm a total noob and very confused why the number of passive points on the skill tree is different. I killed all the bandits for the extra 2 passives and am running two cluster jewels, one with 5 passives and one with 3. These are both reflected correctly in path of building.

Edit - I figured out that the thread of hope skills weren't getting allocated correctly so that explains the discrepancy in the passive skill point number. That's sorted. I'm still confused where you got so much more life from the tree, though. Did the numbers change drastically this league?

I don't think that ring is too great. I mean, I don't know what changes when you use a bow, but "curse on hit" won't work with Traps.

Here's my choice in rings. Because the only slots I could get rez was helm, rings and belt I was a bit constraint of getting that rez o rings, tho.


Both are self-crafted and quite easy. Hardest part was to get the right influence and "influence a jewelry item" craft is not very common. But common enough :))


Most things don't work. But curse on hit from gear (But not the support gem) DOES work with traps. Get a cheap ring and try it.
Hi guys,
thx to ARP for content and all of you for others ideas.
I'm new to PoE, my first and only char is this Saboteur that i started 2 weeks ago.

I follow the build/advices as i'm still leveling, 84 right now. I'm really enjoying it !
However, i've got a question about a gem i don't understand "Awakened added Fire Damage Support". I understand the extra fire damage while it's upped to 20% quality. But some of you guys play with the gem with 0% quality.
My question is how is this bonus "Supported Skills gain 45% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage" working ?
I searched explanations on different forums but never found a clear mechanic.
As i understand (i'm not English-speaker) we should do physical damage to gain bonus from this gem but it may be false.
So, tell me if i'm wrong :
- we do phys dmg with explosive trap, say 100 to be simple,
- with this gem, we gain 45 dmg as fire each 100 dmg phys ? As simple as that ??

Waiting to have it, should it be interesting to get instead an "Awakened Fire Penetration Support" ? 1% quality also grants 1%fire damage, the gem is also waaaay cheaper and the affix (Supported Skills Penetrate 38%-50% Fire Resistance) seems interesting for the noob i am.
I remember the cold mastery of D2's sorceress reading this, nostalgia inside !

Have fun all, cheers.

You are coorrect on extra damage. So if your skill has base physical damage, you will get proportional extra fire damage from it.
Extra damage is effectively a double dipping: so if you scale both physical and elemental, by buffing base physical you get more of both

Thanks for the quick answer !!
Many questions again :
1°) So when you say "by buffing base physical", does it means the affix "% increased Physical Damage" on wands is interesting ?
I thought it buffed only the hits with the weapon itself and i don't hit with my wands ^^.
2°) Noob question then, how the hell did you get some bonus level to skills on your wands, i've never seen one like this to trade ? Only farming/crafting ?
3°) Awekened elemental focus and awakened controlled destruction are so much expensive as i'm starting, is awakened fire penetration interesting as 6th gem ?
Thanks again for the work !
I'm afraid but i'll probably come back here to gat some help.

1) for EXTRA damage phys is good. For conversion = not good. This is a full conversion build with Avastar of Fire
2) it's a generic mod. You can either roll it randomely or through fire fossils
3) you can check this in pob

Thanks for the build guide, I will try it next league!

However the leveling tree in PoB has Thread of Hope and Xoph's Blood - which is unrealistic for league start. Can you add a good league starting tree please? Maybe with Avatar of Fire on tree?

Thanks!

Totally agree with ARP.
This was my first character, i did my leveling SSF following this guide and i never was stuck.
Thx again ARP, i also learnt to use PoB wich is an amazing tool to build the character. Comparison between your loot and the guide goals is easy and some trade makes it easier of course when you got some loot to trade.
if the char is nice to play, it can be one shoted by...you never know how but you sometimes die curiously.
