Oh, I totally forgot. Thanks. ED dps *0.5%?

Just wanted to say thanks for the guide. This is my first real season of PoE and I have really enjoyed the ED/Con Trickster so far.

Your guide is fully informative and does not skip any important aspect that I needed while progressing through this season so far.

The flowcharts of what to gear next is not something I've seen very regularly in other guides and it has made my current potential end game path easier to chart.

Just a big thanks Darkxellmc

I play this as my league starter and kinda like the gameplay. However, i have problems with the fact, that is should be "unkillable". I'm lv87 right now and have res capped and the budget gear. But since after the storyline i died recently. On map bosses, conquerers, metamorphs and sometimes even on mob packs. I only coming to t8 actually.

So may someone have the time to possible give me some tips and/or investigate on my character? I'm at a point where it don't feel right to invest more money, because so far i can't really get it run on the lower tiers ...

Thanks!

I'm at a similar point as you (87 though I have 6L canes and a hyrri's ire 5l)

Out of curiosity how are your flasks?

I've found that having a bubbling flask|witchfire|quartz with appropriate suffixs to clear (heat/ward/etc) feels fairly mandatory and without them I felt fairly squishy. Just generally have to keep them rolling.

Additionally do you have wither support totem link going? It speeds up boss kill times pretty significantly for me. Which has reduced potential death.

While it states "unkillable" i think that references full top tier gear which isn't gonna be the case for the budget/end game start (you won't have hyrri's and 3+ endurance charges, etc). You will be pseudo squish, but you should be fast enough that you can avoid most mechanics. While this has high evasion and various defenses you really shouldn't be face tanking things.

Whats your ES at? I know its not budget but when I recently picked up Hyrri's Ire the survivability jumped through the roof.

Edit: Looked at your character profile. You need to get two 5L via reworking your canes and kints a bit (i know that sucks b/c may brick them) but getting two 5L is major bump in damage and ideally reworking your gear coloring so that you can have ES in one of the 5L. You need to get flasks updated a as well.

Your gear and flasks are super basic despite being 87, idk what you've been doing

You are barely half built.
You are running 4 links, getting even 5 links would be an improvement.
You have no endurance charges or frenzy charges.
This build is literally unkillable when set up, and I suck and can say that with confidence.
If you are going to sink money in a build, this is it.
5/6 links will pay immediate dividends.
Rolling +1 to minimum endurance charges is well worth the investment.
Where is your phasing flask, invisibility alone can make you almost immortal.
I just got to maps last night, but it's coming along smooth, just like last league. Yes you can spend a mirror on it, but you can get it shining for a few ex.
I personally am taking freedom of movement on tree until I can afford the jewels, I like being invisible!
I just got my cane 5 socketed in the garden, now I'll hopefully find 5 link seed tonight, I got some good stuff growing :) lol I'm an assassin gardener and I love it!
This is the first time I killed Kitava and am still res capped! Feels great men! I feel I need to do something about chaos res though, I am struggling there, but lots of ele res to trade off for now.

Good luck exile!

Can someone more knowledgeable explain me the real utility of wind dancer? It seems to me that it's 5 passive point in the tree that can go elsewhere

You get hit -> you have less chance to be 1-shot by this hit because of 20% reduction -> you pop a ghost shroud -> you get increased evasion for 4 sec to help regen ghost shrouds instead of having them all popped and lose stun immunity

With only the budget gear, you will not be "unkillable," and I've died several times to metamorphs, syndicate ganks, bad luck during conqueror fights, etc.

For the most part it's not a problem. To maximize survival:

1. Get a good (but budget) flask setup. This is really important. You will want at a bare minimum:
- Bubbling/Seething Divine Flask of Staunching
- Sulfur Flask of Warding
- Quartz Flask of Heat
- Stibnite Flask
- Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline

Ideally you would get these all at 20% quality and with a Chemist's prefix. This is pretty easy to do, even on a budget, using a combination of seed crafting, beastcrafting, and alteration spam. Replace the Stibnite flask with Witchfire Brew once you obtain it.

NOTE that the Witchfire Brew is currently buggy and does not work correctly with Warding flasks. When playing flask piano, make sure you hit the Witchfire key *before* the Warding key.

2. Keep 100% uptime on your flasks during mapping. This should be trivial.

3. For "ordinary" boss fights, keep 100% uptime on your flasks, either by DPSing down the boss quickly (use Wither totems to help with this) or by killing adds.

4. For endgame bosses with multiple extended phases (Atziri, Sirus, Shaper) you will need to learn the mechanics of the fight and avoid attacks. I don't recommend facetanking endgame bosses with only the budget gear.

Hey guys, this is great build, thank you very much for the share.
I have a couple of question,

Where do you get your endurance charges from? since i cannot find where do you get them from? or is it because of the 3.11 update that those are not a thing on this build anymore.

Also i have a decent gear, not minmaxed but no a budget gear and i've been struggling on t16 maps, am i missing something?
