[3.23] 🧙‍♂ïļâšĄBattleTrapper 2024 by 📚/ThatDanishFellow ✔ïļA9 ✔ïļHC ✔ïļBlock ✔ïļAll-Content ✔ïļL-Starter ✔ïļUPDðŸ”ĨTES

Those who started recently, take a quick peek through the guide again to make sure you're following any recent changes:)

I've been working on this big guide update for awhile as it takes a lot of time going through 100+ pages of thread content ;P but I think it's been worth it and I decided to release it now instead of waiting for being *closer* to 3.16 because I still see quite a few new players jumping aboard this league and wanting to try out traps, so they might as well benefit from the improvements/what we learned since last few leagues. :)


"
❗❗❗Updated ALL of the guide.
In preparation for 3.16, I have used feedback from the last 2 leagues in this thread, to go over all text and every section in the guide and either deleted/moved or updated its relevance. Hopefully this all makes for an even better guide. Make sure you check each section out before your next playthrough. :)

3.16 waiting room activated...
...Meantime for this next league I intend to start using twitter to easier reach you guys about stream schedules and when RL stuff gets in the way.

Throw me a ðŸ”īYouTube sub and a follow on ðŸ”ĩTwitter for updates.
I would very much appreciate your help reaching the elusive 1k youtube subscribers goal. :) I hope in return you'll enjoy the guide❗💗

How useful is HH with this build, got one today and using it on SST char don't know much about traps and HH?

It's definitely good if you're farming really juiced maps, but generally the builds that benefit the most from HH are ones that can use all the different mods you steal. We mostly benefit from the extra ES/defense and movement speed we get from HH.

HH happens to be the only exception to the on-kill effects that actually DOES work with traps. :)

Did a video here where I was showcasing non-HH vs HH usage:

Done some tweaking and sitting at 1.8M dps right now.

pob: https://pastebin.com/4JwL6wBv

Got 10 ex to spare, but I have no idea what to buy. Everyting seems to bee some so minor dps ups for 4-5ex purchases.

Tips? Ideas?

Tnx for the answer. Will try it on some juiced maps with SST it is a blast! 😁
What kind of damage might get past the ES with that setup?

I, for some reason, can't go with Zealotry because here and now I get killed despite my ES not being depleted.
I wear shavs.

Nothing can bypass it *normally*

But there is an exception with Expedition remnants called "monsters kill targets with <20% life" -- basically a bad job or oversight imo from GGG's side, because I don't really think they meant to specifically target a tiny subset of builds with an *instant kill* mechanic :)

So don't open that specific remnant, or if you open it, first disable zealotry and TP hideout to heal up.


I appreciate the response! I’ve bought quite a bit of gear though, and I’m at ~4K unbuffed. I’m still completely lost as of how I’m supposed to have been 4k after a10. The only pieces I’m missing right now is a ring/belt.

I (think) I’ve unhidden my profile. I really appreciate the help because I thought I was following the guide, but I obviously must be missing something big

Yes it's unhidden now. :)

You're jumping directly from leveling to low-life, so you're skipping CI.

That's okay, but you have to equip some relevant ES gear with that shavs if you want to dive straight into low-life :)

You are underestimating how much the small amounts of ES scales. 3-4k is after you reach act 10 yes, if you are using ES gear in all slots. I've done a lot of playthroughs on stream, so I'm sure you can see it in vods:)

You're thinking too much that ES works like life:) and you're thinking "mehh, replacing small rings won't matter that much..."

From my 9k ES, my rings provide me 1600 ES.

Pickup a 1 alch bated breath belt, get 2x 1c rings with 40es+ and 40+ intellect (or save them when u find during leveling, they're common, hence why they cost nothing).

Here are rings with ES and high intellect, 1c price.. grab 2 of them. Yes 2, since the one you have with 3% isn't any good compared to getting 40-50+ int which gives 10% es on its own. :)

Bated Breath, 2x Rings, Quality (tempering catalyst) amulet.
Your boots and gloves are both missing at least half their ES -- gloves you can keep because you hit good trap stats (sadly on a bad es base, conjurer).

Idk what your budget is, but you could get a far higher ES shield very easily with a few dense and a semi decent ES base, like a vaal spirit or a harmonic spirit shield.

Your weapon is going to let you down very soon, consider upgrading that *soon'ish*

again, super cheap... 1-3c for much better weapons:) don't fuss over trigger... just use arcanist brand.

Are you using POB to measure upgrades?

You're underestimating how much ES each item brings when you simply fix so ES is represented on each slot. Try it out now, fix those items I said and look at your ES pool. :)

I'm not referring to buying expensive gear, it's literally items costing from 1 alch to 1-2 chaos and providing you a basis of ES, same as a life build would tell you to get minimum 50+ life on gear etc.

It's often items you could be saving from leveling or creating with some low 20 depth delving (dense fossil collecting).

In league starts all these low-end ES items I'm referring are even cheaper because the volume of players and that majority of POE use life builds, so ES starter gear is in general is easy to obtain and relatively in-expensive.

It's the high-end gear where you want to start self-crafting or get currency going :)

oh and p.s!
VAAL discipline❗❗❗ .. very important, VAAL version not regular :D it's your "health flask" as an ES build.

You have no idea how much I appreciate that deep dive, thank you so much! I can’t wait to get home now, now that I have a MUCH better idea what I’m doing
