is this 3.16 viable? how was the patchnotes for this build

Looks good to me, I'll probably play it.

We lose dodge, so we're going to need to find another defensive layer - evasion, spell suppression, maybe divine flesh, maybe we can find our way to Versatile Combatant. Guess we'll see which we pick when we have a passive tree.

No major nerfs or buffs that I can see otherwise, except Born in the Shadows is now 15% rather than 10%.

Blind nerf as well

Ah yes. Also this (from reddit):

"

Traps lose:

84% increased damage
44% Crit multi
Traps Gain:

7% throw speed
38% crit chance
35% CDR rate
3 masteries (6.66% more damage, 50% skitterbot efficiency, 5 additional traps on ground)

So a (small?) dps drop too.

Actually the:

7% throw speed
38% crit chance
35% CDR rate
3 masteries (6.66% more damage, 50% skitterbot efficiency, 5 additional traps on ground)

are gains not losses.

They are not nerfs for especially seismic trap(cdr).

Yes. That is why it says "gains".

Here's my horrible first attempt, 87/121 points with a large thread of hope, having never played this build before. What can we improve from here?

I tried to take elusive (assuming we can get it on boots) and some spell suppression. I made it intending to take double cluster jewels and glorious vanity -> divine flesh (with more chaos resist on items of course) later on.

I took most the mastery options I could, but I suspect a couple of them aren't worth it. The items etc are from Balor's build of this rather than OP's, and obviously some of it is pretty wrong now.

Edit: Thread of Hope likely to be expensive this league I think.

Edit edit: Ghost dance is nice. Perhaps it's worth trying to get spell suppression to 75%, then using those two as our new defensive options. No point having more than that, particularly with a couple thousand evasion (and perhaps 1k ES?) for ghost dance.

this is my attemps, look well gl

Took Darkee's (Lightee7 on Twitch) PoB Crit Version and changed it just a bit:
https://pastebin.com/Lbkedw3s

LvL 91
Seismic Trap Avg Hit 726k
6,4k Life, 145% increased from tree
ES 835 with Ghost Dance
Evade Chance 68%
Phys. Dmg Reduction 12%
Block Chance 15%
Spell Suppression Chance 100%, 55% Spell Dmg suppressed

So far seems tanky enough and damage should still be quite good.
Thoughts?
