[3.8] Laverd's Hybrid Wave of Conviction Trickster - Uber Elder capable

Wanted to do shitty saboteur WoC mines, did trickster self-cast.
Already did few builds in past leagues, but never posted them even if they were better than existing ones. Wanted to try posting current one even if it's late in league.
Actually works, oneshots doggie in lab and his owner phases (with average staff). Shaper is shaper, everyone disrespects him.
Works in uelder even with my shitty mechanics.
Can do any content as long as it isn't HoGM where chaos characters wrecks us.


3.8!


Pro's & Con's


+ Decent DPS (league ez 4,5-4,9mil ||| standard easily +2 mil \\ shaper DPS PoB).
+ Around 9,6k ehp on league (3,1k hp/6,5k ES) might go higher.
+ All content (excluding HoGM).
+ Pleasant to play.
+ Lightning warp (for me it's a pro).
+ No mana regen maps? Pfft. Lightning Warp throught that without any care.
+ Cheaper to start (workable below 1-2 ex).



- Not cheap to end
(for very satisfying stuff it's 10-14ex = 6-7 for staff + 4 for empower + a little for eq).
- Chaos might hurt.
- Not another Summoner build.
- Not immune to physical, nor elemental reflect.
- Not a vegan HC SSF gluten-free build.
- Trickster, lel
- Without skins looks like abomination, just like 90% of builds.



Gear

Synthesis:

Legion:


The staff is my biggest upgrade — before it is just essenced with +2 to fire gems(4c) +spelldmg from bench(4c) and works well. I do craft the current one with:
6L -> altspam -> regal -> annul -> crafts from this trustable guy in spoiler:

▲You need citrine amulet to fix dex/str stats.
▲The helmet and gloves enchants I have are probably the best for this build, not sure about boots since there are other good options.
▲Belt is cheap, but can be cheaper if you buy good rolls and then use prophecy to upgrade it by yourself. Rest of the eq is rather cheap.
▲Also 5L armour with prophecy, cheaper.
About the QoL in armour, maybe Enduring Cry? You can search for other combos, it's up to you.
▲Empower from cards is cheaper

Flasks:


▲Almost every flask is BiS, especially Cinderswallow which keeps us alive in mob packs.
▲Sin's Rebirth imo is generally a lot better than good roll Taste of Hate, but it depends on your preferences and content you do. Also there is optional Bottled Faith, available only to std rich bois for now.

How to boost my setup even higher?

PoB lvl is 91.
PoB: https://pastebin.com/nqHSn71Z

...B-but
What after 91?

Install PoB you lazy people.

Ascendancy
Harness the Void -> Ghost Dance -> Escape Artist -> Weave the Arcane

Bandits
Help Alira:
▲Crit multi (more dmg),
▲Mana regen (useful for us),
▲Resists (overcapping res is good for maps with elemental weakness)

Pantheon
Major God:
Brine king for mapping (stunlocks+chills aren't funny)
Solaris for uberlab/harder bosses (%elemental, %physical reductions)

Minor God:
Upgraded Shakari (Poison immunity = less chaos to worry about)
Upgraded Yugul (Only for Uber Elder tbh)

Leveling

▲Before you get WoC skill you can lvl up with any gem. It's just for a few levels anyway.
▲We can use our mainskill at lvl 16 and get it as quest reward after "The Root of the Problem" in Act 2 from Yeena.
▲First link would be WoC-Added Fire and put that to result of your vendor recipe: magic rarity 'wand' sold to vendor with ruby ring. It will give us wand with some flat damage (better than nothing, heh).
▲Rest of the gems we can catch during quests, buy from other people or NPC at the end of Act 3 in Library and start of Act 6 Lilly Roth after clearing beach.
▲At level 18 remember to get Concentrated Effect, because it gives us huge damage without any harm to our skill.
▲If you can't afford tabula rasa, at lvl 28 there is this staff "Xigil's Crank" at pathofexile.com/trade worth whole 1alch — which was good for the rest of the leveling.
▲By now you noticed you were strong early game, but you get oneshotted later in Acts. Don't be scared — after upgrade with The Vertex + Atziri's Splendour it changes. So basically, you will be wrecked at Blood Aqueduct and after 75 you will turn the tables and wreck everything else.
This build won't be that squishy, trust me.
▲At Act 9 farm Blood Aqueduct to get near 68-70 lvl, by the time you reach that you will get enough Chaos from recipe for at least helmet and later at lvl 75 armour, which are huge survival boosts.
▲Your next huge buff will be 6L staff either from cards or just from pathofexile.com/trade.
▲Slowly gain power, while gaining more stuff to complete your build
▲Abuse chaos recipe a lot. Learn how to run Uber Lab for huge profits.

Playstyle

During mapping just spam Cinderswallow before every pack, it fills quickly as we ignite enemies. Use the rest of the flasks for the boss.

For bosses use brand to curse on enemy (it gives a lot of dps!). Also use Lightning Warp before bursts to get maximum DPS.

General tips for bosses

Additional info

Vaal Discipline is your awesome flask for ES.

Flame golem from PoB is worse than Lightning golem, but with that damage I don't mind that little dmg more or less. I just don't like lightning golems.

Still upgrading, if you have any question or advices tell me :v.
There are some ideas i've to try.
Stay sane exile.

good guide

NICE BUILD M8 !!11!11!

Good build i'll try do this on next league! Praise the Voktalz

So, I've been trying this on the Flashback event and it's definitely a bit of a glass cannon build but the damage is very impressive for the small investment I've put in. Around 1 mil DPS (on a 5 link) with not even 1ex investment.

Only issue is random 1 shots and stuff. I've got around 2k life and 4k ES at the moment at level 77 and should have around 5k ES when I'm done with my tree which is a little low for my tastes but as I said the damage and clearing is very nice.

I made a few passive tree/gear changes from the base guide, you can see them by having a look at my character profile if you want. Character name is "Conviction_Boi".

Thank you for sharing!
These are some 'few' huge changes tbh xd. However your version gave me some ideas i'll try later in PoB, when i'll come back from the trip.
Sadly i can't test it rn.

Edit: After my arrival to home, you've changed builds, but still your link from previous set gave me idea to fix mana problem in 3.7. <3

Are you going to do an upgrade for 3.7?

Yeah, it is updated for now. Not so OP as before, but still viable.
Next update will be during league!

Edit: Playing this build again, it is gut.

Are you sure you're doing that correctly xd?
You're supposed to copy that pastebin( https://pastebin.com/nqHSn71Z ) and go into [Import/Export Build] -> click [Import from Pastebin...] -> CTRL + V -> click [Import].
