[3.26] Fire Trap of Blasting - tanky, all content
" Every non-uber boss should be easy. Ubers depends on your mechanical skill, but generally speaking, Uber Cortex, Shaper and Eater are the easiest. Farming Feared is a good currency and experience gain since you don't lose experience in invitations anymore. Mageblood isn't required, it's a luxury upgrade. Getting Slavedriver Hands and right Replica Dragonfang Flight in private league can be challenging though, and they're very important (gloves solves mana problems instantly and amulet is great DPS increase). Amulet can be substituted with well rolled rare, gloves cannot. |

" Not crazy worried about getting Slavedrivers, at least when settling on some that are not double corrupted. Would require to get hands on a decent Kineticist for Haste + Ele Weakness and just run Enfeeble together with Flammability, on Arcanist Brand. The Amulet might truly be an issue. Still have some time to decide for myself, though Scion version seems fairly intriguing even if Sabo PoBs like 25% more damage at the first big Milestone |

It's a solid plan. You can use another amulet at the cost of dps. Rashkaldor's Patience is a cheap, good choice, as it allows to take Fire Mastery "100% damage with hits against ignited enemies, critical strikes do not inherently ignite". But you lose reservation, so "Champion of the Cause" or "Leader of the Pack" should be anointed instead of extra Power Charge.

" Unfortunately had no time to give both Sabo & Scion a try but just from plugging Scion into the PoB, of my last 2 Voidstone run with Sabo, it has roughly 35% more DPS. Sabo scales higher, faster but it'll sit in Bosses only while I enjoy the potential option of Simus on the Scion version. If 3.27 doesn't affect it much then it's certainly very high on my list for next leagues project |

Sorry for the noob question, but why go with scion? If we're starting at shadow, wouldn't it be better to pick trickster and build ci/es?

" Scion has few advantages - 25% reservation efficiency (including life, rare stat) that allows us to easily fit all auras and Petrified Blood while taking Pain Attunement keystone - massive life regeneration, cost of throwing traps would be much more difficult to sustain without it - easier to meet attribute requirements and cap resistances - more skill points - can get decent block chance with 0% block Kongming's Stratagem - cheap forbidden jewels Sure, you can try making it work on Trickster, but it's meta and thus very expensive. And at this point of investment you should just go Ephemeral Edge + Smite. |
|
" Talking about Reservation efficiency. Think there will be room for a Corpse Spectre setup, to sustain Haste if Mercs are gone? |
