[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]

Cull definitively works.
You kinda onlky notice it when it matters: tanky guardians, sirus, uber elder... But it's there.
These gloves are insane, gz!
You can craft spider on it, but you'll need to socket your auras in there to not have support gems increasing the mana cost.

For slamming the rings, crusader is by far the best option indeed. Dunno if catalysts increase the odds of rolling mod pools... If it does, defense or caster quality would help.

Btw, any chance you'd want to exchange your topaz ring for a two stone (cold+lightning) one? It's technically better, but I fked up and now I have 10% lightning res... So I need a topaz. Same mods obviously.

Anyways. Really nice gear overall now, gratz! ^^

Hi there, loving the build!
First time playing ED+Cont, also first league.
Been playing standard since beta on and off though never had the time to play league until now and I'm loving it!

Kinda stuck on what I should upgrade atm...
Waiting for currency to buy a Enlighten level 4 to run the "proper" auras, just swapped from Vertex to rare Hubris.
Also I'm farming Syndicate to get the +1 minimum endurance charge craft.
As you can see I'm abit low on the attack/spell block, focused on capping the chaos-resist instead due to the crazy metas out there...

Anything specific I would look at upgrading meanwhile?
Is there really no better quiver than this "2c" one?
I paid a little bit extra to get higher rolls on mine, almost max...

Can't decide what would be best for my 6L Hyrri's...
A Bane 6L that I'm running now, or a 3+3 instead, so I could do Bane 3L and CWDT 3L.
The 6L Bane is rather nice to speed-run maps. 1 button instead of 2 for the ED+Cont combo. Maybe Bane could do the same job as a 3L aswell...?

Nah sorry, then I'd be in your position missing out on lightning res.

Just slammed both of my rings with crusader orbs and got +9% (max roll) energy shield on each so I guess that's not bad (probably my second preference after spell damage? But hitting the 2nd best of 4 twice isn't too bad!)

So I'm getting to the point where my gear is almost finished...suggestions on improvements, other than divining up gear?

There is the quiver which could go down the rare route to pick up some more damage, but would take some survivability with it. Although I suppose you can get +life on a quiver to offset the ES lost.

I'm also tempted to make a new maraketh bow to give me another chance at slamming something better than blind on hit...

Need to run some labs today to enchant gloves too.



Edit: oh yeah I need catalysts as I haven't used any of those at all. Caster catalysts on neck will give an extra 3% DoT? Prob attack on belt for chaos damage? Life for the rings?

Although looking at https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Belt I'm not sure if the chaos on belt or DoT on neck can even be affected by catalysts.

Edit2: Ok so regarding quivers you can have +25% chaos DoT as well as +18% standard DoT for a total of 44% DoT...that is insane. Add on 90+ life roll and that is well better than the current unique quiver. Both of the DoT are suffix too so if you hit both you could scour any unwanted prefix and multimod?

Here is what my PoB looks like when I import a current one for sale (80ex...but shouldn't be THAT hard to craft?)

Pretty insane difference!

Pog gear, not gonna lie. Here's a list on what you can still upgrade:
- 21 discipline. Easy
- Melding mod on maraketh jewel if you don't have
- corrupted blood immunity
- Annoint soul of steel now imo
- Corrupted hyrri's ire (50% damage is 35ex, no maxres for sale. % life not bad either, and "cheap") -- There's currently a +2AOE 4% life one for 15ex. Didn't check the roll, maybe it's garbage idk.
- Boot enchant. There's some great stuff!
- Gloves enchant. Easy, just run normal lab 10 times.
- Onslaught bow, and swap your jewel
- Better belt? Idk if realistic, but %life from hunter it pretty good.
- 2-3 more levels.


Now if you wanna push this to the absolute maximum, get a +4 hyrri's ire, and start wanding+shield. It's incredibly expensive, the chest is ~150ex. Otherwise maybe it's time to finish off challenges, do fun gambling sessions or reroll :p
Good luck! ^^

What melding mod am I after? Currently my melding gets 20% increase ele damage from the jewel which doesn't do anything for us.

21 disc, yep missed that one.

Glove enchant from normal? So the best on offer can be picked up from normal lab? Movement speed on boots comes from uber though?

Also see my edits above regarding catalysts and quiver when you get a moment

I don't really like bane past the point you get enough cast speed/aoe to blow up the whole screen tbh. The 1 button playstyle is nice, however, so I get it. 3link shoud be "alright" for mapping, but you kinda want a 4 link at least tbh. 6l bane in chest as you have rn is perfectly fine too. I'd probably replace your blight setup with a wither totem tho, for more "non facetank" offence, to not die randomly at melee range.
Cwdt can be 2 linked, steelskin is the only very big link in there.

I'm sorry I don't have time to import everyone's pobs anymore ^^'
That said your gear is pretty good, you really shouldn't be dying too much... I'd just swap that amulet, you can really find much better imo. And annoint freedom of movement. Also, swap empower for controlled destruction in your bane setup, it's better.
I'm not too sold on the skiutterbots thing, they're kinda mah. We already increase enemy damage taken by 105%, an additionnal 15% isn't all that necessary. I'd use discipline instead.

Quiver wise, faster es start is really nice. A good rare can be good as well, I just like the quality of life soul strike gives, especially for the very low price.

gl hf ^^

FFS I just went through the effort of making another maraketh bow and I hit blind with reedeemers orb AGAIN!!! ARGH

Can't afford to try a third time until that one sells now.

First time I'm having really fun with a build. Ty for that!

Something I still try to figure out is:

1.) How do I manage to get all 3 auras (incl. Aspect of the Spider) up and running? Currently, I don't have enough mana for all of them. Just for the two others (exluding aspect of the spiders)

2.) Do I have to cap chaos resist for this league?

3.) I'm having huge struggles vs. bosses in red maps (running the blight setup). I assume that for red maps the bow would be the right choice instead of the staff, right?

Thanks again, really great guide.

Thanks for response.
Yeah what I meant is for open maps where mobs might be spread, instead of clearing a pack of 6 with 2 buttons before running along I'll just throw in a Bane and be done with 'em, ofc using the fullscreen clear anytime I can :D

Skitterbots were only implemented yesterday, I were running Discipline+Malevolence but asked Zizarian which 2 he would use and he said Skitterbots+Malevolence in a heartbeat. So that's why I tried it out.
"If CI, Discipline+Malevolence, if hybrid Skitterbots+Malevolence"
Until I've found the currency for the Enlighten level 4 and can run the "proper" ones ofc :) Thinking about swapping back to Discipline tho as it feels abit more helpful than even more damage, as you state.

Running blight instead of totem-setup cuz I'm not very comfortable with that playstyle and feel that they die to easy, I see that basically Everyone is running with them so might be something I just "have" to get used to I guess...

I agree with the quiver QOL, tried out a rare one yesterday and wasn't worth it at all. That small dps increase but missing out on the QOL.
I saw your "rich boys" pob and yeah, there is upgrades but have to swap alot of gear around to get the QOL back :)

Got time to give tips for new amulet?
I've tried searching for the preference in the guide but can't seem to find anything that fits...
Tried to search on the stats that matter on the one that I have, found 1 for 19ex but I'm loosing dps, gaining life...

I'll try out your pointers, ty very much for response and the guide itself.

1) Enlighten 4. The gem itself only need to be level 3, vertex gives +1. No need to break your bank ^^

2) meh, not really... If you can get some, do so. I don't really know what people are talking about, most meta actually don't deal any chaos damage. Same for awakener fight, there's very little chaos in there.
You'll want shakari for caustic ground reduction tho, the caustic ground got out of hands this league! If you can get around 20% you'll survive pretty much all chaos sources. I have -40%.

3) Cane of unralelling really falls off past ~t12 maps. YOu kinda really want to upgrade to a bow (even the 5ex one) as soon as possible.

Seeing your profile, I'd highly recomend trying out contagion with intensify and InC aoe (and faster casting). It makes a world of a difference compared to just contaigon.
This 19ex amulet isn't worth 19 ex ^^'
For this price you can get +1 and t1 chaos multi (altho slightly less life).
If you have no money, chaos multi or +1 chaos/int gems is good, along with other usefull stats. If you have more money, get both. You'll probably need to annul a few times and multimod, it can be a difficult process. I really wouldn't do amulet first.

For the skitterbots: If you want more damage for some reason, use zaelotry. But 35% mana for 7% more damage overall is simply not worth it. Zealotry is 16% more damage for 50% resa. Or maybe you wanna incorporate a flesh and stone somewhere, that's fine too ^^
FyI: Spider is the exact same damage boost as skitterbots. But it only costs 25% mana and doesn't cost a gem socket. It should give you a good comparative value of skiterbots compared to other choices.
