I should have also said this in the video, but you DO NOT need a Mageblood to go self-chill. You can offset the mana cost reduction loss from the ring slot with a reasonably well rolled The Adorned and 3x corrupted magic jewels with 5% reduced mana cost. Cheers!
What he said is correct. If you want you can buy a synth base with 2% reduced mana cost implicit for cheap to get an extra 4% per jewel but you’ll have to alt spam for 5% reduced.
This is my first ever POE league and been following your build since day one, absolutely loving it, so much fun. Thanks for all the content been an amazing way to learn the game, already smashing through amped up T16 maps with this thing - plus it deletes bosses. Keep it up man!
Thank tou for the shoutout and content you have made , one of my best league starter i ever had with the explosive trap ! Self chill just feels so smooth , looking to play this build again next season ! Keep up the the good work and merry chrismas !
Thank you for sharing this build and a detailed guide. I have not crafted a +2 scepter/amulet yet and I am about to hit level 94. Super happy how my character turned out this league.
Explosive trap is my favourite build to do bossing. Tanky, good dmg, speedy af. All thing I need in one character. Love your content man this build is really perfect for me.
I played this last league and farmed a full mirror off Uber shaper. I’m trying to make a mapper build now but if I don’t like it… I’m coming back to this !!
Just did my first uber ever using this build. Great guide with thorough instructions. Loving it so far. Hoping to farm a mageblood to take explosive trap to its limits.
Thanks for the update dude. The guardian blessing tech looks good, the holy relic felt really bad, so i was using a prism guardian divine blessing weapon swap
My first POE League ive played past maps and i've managed to purchase a mageblood (although it was a 2 flask) and do uber shaper. Dumbo is an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for all the content youve made!
A few additions for the build above: 1. Do NOT rebuild into self-chill without mageblood. You will have a constant pain in the ass about mana, resist, damage, survivability and if you have weak chaos resist every second boss will kill you with one hit. It's like you decided to spend money to get doctors to give you hemorrhoids. 2. This build doesn't shine too well in a full map clear, so farming the twisted and something like that is a great idea. But, for future generations - The Vault map is a pain in the ass, you can run 3 other maps during its completion. And the second one - constructor is another pain in the ass, so to kill him I suggest either using a white map or using shrapnel. I have 11 million damage, but on a map with conc ground and hp to es I can fight this monkey for literally minutes because I just can't hit him with traps unless I use shrapnel 3. Not the most obvious point, maybe I just missed it in the guide. The author frees up a lot of points in the tree by taking gloves with phys to cold (the mod itself on gloves + influence), such gloves are not expensive, so pay attention 4. In the league, the author uses charms on spell suppress, and although it frees a large number of points, but spell suppress is VERY expensive, so I came to the conclusion that using crit multi per charge and damage pen ele resist is a good idea if you are not swimming in money.
I have been following Dumbo for some time now and his content is remarkable I wish he would stream more amazing build, did everything for me this league
We need an update video! On a side note, is it possible to run Sanctums with the self-damage from FR for self chill? Not sure if self hits will deduct resolve.
Hey Fearlessdumb0, not sure if you're still reading comments, but just want to say I love the build, and appreciate all the resources you've created to help newbies like myself cultivate a winning thought process in order to troubleshoot for themselves. That said, I feel like I have a few blind spots still, and was wondering if you'd care to look at my PoB at your convience? Not sure whether you have a Patreon, or stream on Twitch where I could contribute to your work and this channel somehow, but I'd be happy to knowing you've made this one of the most fun leagues I've had since playing this game (no MF needed, either). Thanks again.
@@fearlessdumb0 /9QzvXHh7T2tG Here ya go! Thanks for your time. Given the investment I think I may have made an egregious error somewhere since damage is relatively low. Might spec into Heartstopper if I can raise the damage ceiling. Next move is to invest in clusters as I level up to 100, and end goal is to farm uber Shaper and Maven. Any feedback is appreciated, and thank you again.
Hey, sorry it took me a day to get to this. Here's what I saw on first glance: (1) If you are going to run an ashes, you should definitely try to hit the 30% breakpoint. Either with a 21/23 Explosive Trap + a 27% ashes, or a 30% ashes. Without 30% quality, a dragonfang is going to be more damage. The 10% quality breakpoint is another explosion and essentially a more multiplier for your damage. (2) Level 20 supports would be a couple million more dps (3) This is a QoL thing, but swap your Summon Holy Relic for a Raise Zombie (ideally level 20) and grab a couple Dark Marionette spectres. You can degen their health and they resummon themselves, they feel amazing compared to the relic. (4) Your lethal pride isn't doing anything for your damage wise. You should be able to grab a 10% DD and/or one with Phys as Extra Fire for pretty cheap with all the 5way carry service that has gone on the last few weeks. That's a substantial damage increase for almost nothing (5) You should definitely redeemer slam your Alternating Sceptre. About half of the mods are excellent, with the BiS being Hatred effect (6) It looks like you have no jewel in Socket #9? (7) I think after that I would consider getting a 7L helmet and rolling a Sadist Garb. They're 25div on trade at the moment, or if you want to roll your own it's something like 16 horror essences to roll Hypothermia (or Trap and Mine dmg) and the Horror mod, then 2div to reforge crit for hopefully some tier of base crit, then about 12 Matrons (which are 1.1d right now) to get Conc effect prefix. It frees up sockets and allows you to roll aura effect on your chest alongside big flat life regen. That's all I have on a quick glance. Let me know if you get stuck. Cheers.
Could you elaborate on the final part of the glove crafting? As a newer player I'm a bit stumped by what you meant after the 'rolled a higher tier searing exarch implicit'. Craft of exile calculator isn't giving me any options for that seemingly and I'm really confused
Yes, so in order to get 25% phys to cold implicit you will want to elevate the mod using Orb of conflict. If you read the bottom of the orb it says that it favors the “lower” tier mod, so to take advantage of this you’ll use a single throw away Exceptional of the mod you DONT want to elevate before using the Orb of Conflict. If you win the elevation gamble, repeat this process until you get to 25%. If you lose skip the Execeptional part and orb of conflict again.
Hi all, is anyone else having trouble with the spectres? When I leave a zone, they vanish :-\ I've tried with aura off and with aura on, if i leave my hideout they disappear, if i summon them in a map and then leave the map they disappear :-\ I'm not taking the gem out or swapping betweens weapons, is there anything else that could be causing this?
Trying out self chill without MB, I have a 100% adorned with 3x 5% reduced jewels, 20q inspiration and dreamer anoint but cant sustain the mana cost for single target. Wondering if I have to go for a +1 amulet with elreon craft instead of ashes. Or do I need to use a reduced mana cost craft on a flask?
What's your mana cost? Can you grab a clarity watcher's eye? A rare amulet might be best if not and drop ashes. You can make a very good +2/crit multi amulet that can have elreon benched for not a ton of currency.
You can easily 6 link a corrupted item by bench craft 6 socket jeweller's orb and equal vaal orb then proced to 5 link it which also cost same amount of vaal orb as fusing then slam a tainted fusing to get 50/50 6 linked. also you can just buy lot's of them kitsungi then vaal in hope you hit +2 you need, which should be cheaper than 10 div but takes more work, as for 2 corrupt you need to take item to the temple.
I usually use tainted jewelers and fusings to 6L corrupted bases. 4 socket from bench then 50/50 twice to get 6 sockets. Then 4L from bench and win a 50/50 twice to 6L. Shouldn’t cost more than just straight up linking an uncorrupted chest with fusings
Ty for vids Fearless really useful stuff . Quick questions if you can help please. 1)For boss rushing or bossing like shaper/UUE , is it necessary to be ailment immune as I have a choice to use storm shroud + flask shock avoidance with MB or should I just put another useful suffix like increased movement/cast speed and another jewel slot in place of storm shroud. If I phase run through enemies and 1 tap essences, is the ailment avoidance really that important as better offence = better defence in this case? 2)Is the rapier shaper craft you showed much better than a 1+1 sceptre ( the off hand is an alternating sceptre). I'm using replica dragon fang + restless ward +2 trap implicit. I know up to 30 level of ET is good so is that the deciding factor. So if below lvl30 , use a +1+1 sceptre and if above, use a rapier? 3)Is the winterweave self chill combo doable and worth it , if I have MB with a 25% reduced mana cost flask or are there better choices for the 2 rings. I plan to keep boots empty for invitation rushing due to movement speed or can the self chill setup be avoided with a 4 link lightning warp in your opinion so movement speed isn't that important for speed. 4)For uber shaper, to tank or semi afk his ball phase, should I keep empty body armour for maji increased energy shield or is there a way to do this without losing 6 gem sockets. Ty!
(1) no, but ignite sucks I’d look into managing that if you can. I use a corrupted ring but there are other ways (2) check PoB for your weapon question. I don’t know how your build is configured. A very good rapier is better than a basic +2 sceptre generally, but lots of caveats (3) selfchill is incredible, highly recommend if you have a MB (4) to afk in shaper balls you don’t need maji just a decent ES pool and enough evasion that ghost shrouds refill your ES pool when hit
@@fearlessdumb0 Cheers mate. For query 3, I should have phrased as saying if we have fast movement speed with self chill, is a lightning warp necessary. Does having one (fast movement speed or fast lightning warp travel) mean the other option is not needed or do both combine equal to much faster travel. Asking because if a 4 socket lightning warp is enough to move around the maps, then this frees up the rings or vice versa where 4 sockets get freed up if LW is not needed.
Ah, I see. Well, a 4L lightning warp is pretty solid solo, but selfchill really makes it pop-off because the 30% action speed not only boosts your movement speed, it also boosts your cast speed (which LW loves), and boosts your trap throwing speed as a 30% more damage multiplier. There are some caveats on the more damage multiplier thing, for example you won't be able to preload more damage than you have max traps, but in general the dps for active trap throwing is a straight more multiplier. If you don't want to run the selfchill rings that's totally workable too. You can run fractured delve Phys as Extra Fire rings or go pure herald scaling with circles of guilt or something, it just wont be able to turn around things like Uber Feared as fast.@@dimitrikoblayev4423
I would say that if you wanted to just pick one, I would personally choose selfchill. The trap throwing speed difference is an amazing QoL and damage multiplier.
Thanks alot mate, I've been watching past videos and theres a ton of information which is very useful. I'm trying to farm uber shaper so trying to min max those runs ^^ currently compared to your 3min max, I have 5-6 mins lol so alot of DPS I need. Was lucky to get a 7 link helm using your crafting videos and now trying to get other extra bits of dps like balance of terror/ele weakness combo. Are you planning to do a final build video for you 3.23 min max version as with charms theres alot of options or is there a way to see your POB please.@@fearlessdumb0
Hey! I'm using the league start guide as a template to play this build in Ruthless and having a blast! I was wondering, shrapnel seems like it was designed for clear and the untransfigured version to be used singletarget but in my PoB if I select average hits it still shows shrapnel as more DPS than my explosive Trap. Can that be right? Unsure if I should use it for bossing, especially since the visual pollution is so bad. Thanks if you get around to answering this :)
Pobs numbers are wrong for Shrapnel, it erroneously gives you 100% overlaps which is incorrect. You CAN get better damage out of Shrapnel but it requires cheesing a bit by throwing against a wall (which contracts the secondary radius forcing 2x overlaps) or by playing closed maps like Crimson Temple. Normal explosive trap is better for single target.
Traps can be destroyed by ground AoE before triggering and it will give you variable feeling dps. Once you are above a certain damage threshold (>100m or so) you don't really need it anymore, but it's important at anything below that.
Hi. Fearless. We're way into the league and I'm still having a blast with the build. Thanks again. I'm planning on league starting this for 3.24 and want to do some practice runs in SSF. Was wondering if you had suggestions given the lack of uniques/alternating sceptre? Was also wondering your thoughts on best ways to maximize currency farming with the build outside of carry service if I wanted to farm a mirror week 1? If you have any thoughts I'm all ears. Cheers.
I think the viable uniques are still the same, Galesight and the Interrogation jewel. You can play without brittle all together too, you’ll just want to invest more in a second crit wheel and elsewhere on the tree. When I uodate the guide for 3.24 I’ll try to lay out a passive tree only alternative pre-brittle
Hey boss! Was just wondering if you're planning on playing Explosive Trap Trickster for the new league, and whether you'll be creating content for Necropolis? As always thanks for the guides. Can't wait to league start this in 3.24!
I plan on making an Explosive Trap of Shrapnel guide (and related content) for 3.24, and my current plan is to play it for Necropolis unless there is some new banger transfigured gem that I can't refuse. Either way, I will again publish the guide with all that I learned/incorporated in Affliction. I have some really interesting things to share for getting more damage out that aren't well known.
@@fearlessdumb0 There's a lot of attention being directed at the Saboteur ascendency the last few days. To appease my curiosity I'm going to explore both options. I know you've played Saboteur in the past. Is there a reason you favor trickster overall?
Trickster has better defense and better offense. Sabo has better AoE (and some nice QoL defensive things like Ignite immunity). I love Uber bossing, and for that use case I find Trickster better because you get super juiced Spell Suppression which is the best defensive layer for Ubers.@@TempestMind6309
@fearlessdumb0 ive made this build and i can barely damage ubers. same rings, same weapons, boots and gloves almost, 2 less levels on my trap gem, I got both FF/FF jewels and im missing a lethal pride. Where am i going wrong? i run out of mana almost instantly too. Just wondering if youd have an tips. love the guides, theyve really helped me this league, ive earned my first ever HH and im heading for a MB/ anyway, any tips would be welcomed. o/
Hello, im kinda new at this and i just wonder how do you have double my dps in pob. I miss few gem levels and forbiden flesh, not sure about the phys/cold conversion. And how did you manage to get the 80% overlap chance ? When you have time can you look at my pob please ? Thanks alot, love this build. POB:s807Ba36FxJU
This is what i though but glad i was correct. Learning this build has been a lot of fun. Is going for the 7 or 8 link helm a step i should take this league? I have belt obtained all but the +4 restless ward you have in your last update. I just dont know if my currency is better spent going for that double corrupt or the helm. IM blasting all ubers currently although slower since im missing +2 Final question, Explosive trap of Sharp is showing more damage in POB over reg. Is this actually the case? @@fearlessdumb0
The 7L helm is amazing, I'd recommend it if you are looking to spend 40ish divines on an upgrade (and can swing 15-20div more for a nice crafted rare Sadist Garb). An 8L helm will probably be 200div this league. Who knows about a +4, I just lucked into mine early league before people knew they were worth having. I'm not sure they would hit trade without being on a bad base, so I wouldn't count on one of those. As far as Shrapnel being more DPS, the answer is generically no. PoB gives credit for 100% of overlaps with it, and it's not accurate. I did the math and its more like 40-45% overlaps, BUT you can cheese the Shrapnel gem and throw against a wall or in closed spaces and dramatically increase your damage since the base phys hit is 25% higher than the normal gem.@@jamespeterson4047
Thanks so much this and taking the time to reply. I ended up crafting the 8L helm I got super super lucky and was only 60div. its all t3 gems but still was insanely lucky. I hit trap and mine super fast. Then when i reforged Cold It hit both Hypo and con effect in one reforge with an open prefix. With that luck I went for the T4 Aisling and got my +2 AoE gems. This helm is nuts. After crafting up the chest too i doubled my damage out put on uber bosses. Well worth the time. Thanks for the great info on Sharpnel. Still love it for clearing maps. I mad a bunch of currency mapping Torando shot start of the league so its been fun dumping into this build and bossing right now. First league i have killed all the ubers. @@fearlessdumb0
Are you likely to make a complete crafting guide for this build? I've gotten a char ready, leveled and have the flasks + uniques but am struggling in terms of getting the weapons, gloves + helmet as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to crafting (Or hey does anyone have items they want to sell?)
Which armor would you recommend to use for build? Double corrupted restless ward and kintsugi are impossible to get this league, prices are mad if they appear. Thank you!
Crafted Rare Chest +7L helm > Kintsugi > Restless Ward would be the order I would look for body armour. A corrupted +2 restless ward costs almost nothing.
looking through your old guide and i felt kinda stuck damage felt bad, mana problem, and also idk what should i do next FPsmlAvTaxNt (pobbin) i do think i fucked up somewhere
Hey, but how this mod "increased damage against chilled enemy" is working if we have a Secrets of Suffering on the sceptre when chill cannot be provided, thanks for a new video!
@fearlessdumb0 Im crafting gloves and cant do the res swap on 3:27. It says "No valid mods for this craft" even there is. Trying to do Lightning -> Cold. Is it bug or am I missing something?
Fire damage to attacks isn’t a resistance so I’m REALLY not understanding this and he just absolutely flies by this part in the video. Very frustrating.
@@benjaminlaundry5788 You cant have two same resistances on the item. So I had normal cold res there and tried to change lightning -> cold. Can't do that. So first need to change the normal res to something you are not switching between.
When in self chill how to negate the damage we take ? I take half of my life as dmg... 1500/3000 hp ouch... hurts and i die a lot... :( at 3:50 when you are chilled your life barrely moves... how is that ? :x
@@fearlessdumb0 I'm at 9 chaos res and I also have the chaos flask... maybe it's just the timings / gameplay, like i take the hit when the flask is not up or something I don't know... From when I first commented, I noticed you removed the cast when damage taken setup and went steelskin which seems to soak the damage from forbidden rite ? I still die a lot I guess because of the timings don't know.. Currently crafting gloves for with +17 chaos res, will see how it feels, otherwise i'll go back to old setup without self chill, I don't like dying :D (Too bad I wanted to try to farm ubers but with only 10M dps it's rough). Still loving the build tho
Hey I'm digging the build so far but I've got a gearing question. I can't tell what weapons i should be aiming for at endgame. I understand that self chill needs the trigger weapon but aside from that should i be using two +2 scepters or crafting the sword from another recent video. Im in middle yellow maps rn and the damage feels a little lacking sometimes. Just using 2 basic +2 weapons.
The BiS weapons are +2 scepters with high spell damage, Hatred effect, and a third mod (crit multi, trap speed, trigger), but they are expensive to craft. The Rapier is not far off in dmg but considerably easier to craft.
I know this would probably be hardly exciting considering your journey with the build. But would be really cool to hear out your ideas for gearing and overall in SSF realm, especially for casual gamers.
Sure! Happy to share how to craft it. Process is: 1) buy an uninfluenced Focused Amulet (no influence is important) 2) chaos spam until +1 all. Roughly 850 chaos to hit it 3) yolo annul off the other two mods. If you brick, reroll +1 4) bench prefix cannot change 5) scour to make it magic 6) imprint 7) regal+yolo annul. If you rip all gems, go back to 6. 8) bench Cannot Roll Attack 9) add/rem phys for 50/50 to get +4 gems. If you rip, go back to 6 10) bench Prefix Cannot Change 11) reforge Crit. It’s a 1/12 to hit T1 crit multi, and a 50/50 to hit any tier of crit multi. Keep whatever is acceptable to you. 12) if you want to try for higher Crit, yolo annul and pray to go again or rip and go back to imprint. I missed a decent roll of crit multi 4x now so I’ve settled until I farm more currency. Right now I’ve been soloing to 100 with a giga tanky Valdo farmer version so it will have to wait a bit.
Shrapnel in PoB is bugged. The overlaps chance is wrong, it claims you hit with all explosions (100% overlap chance) which is obviously incorrect. Normal explosive trap is better single target best I can tell.
Do I have to look for a very specific value for Lethal Pride to get the same effects on notables or is it there just for the extra strength and I can buy one with a random value on it?
You can buy a random one, but very good ones can be had for cheap. Check the timeless jewel locator tool in PoB to search. Good mods are Double Damage, Phys as extra Fire, Physical Dmg, Max Life, Reduced Crit Dmg, etc
Got it, thanks for the tip, I didn't know about the timeless jewel search in pob, will try that out. The build has been a lot of fun to play, thanks for the guides and updates on it!!
Hello, any tech on the build to make it a bit tankier? i feel like i have damage but i die so many times, im cap/res suppress have mage blood 50k eva... ignite and corrupted blood are a pain i dont know how to deal with it yet
Oh yes, many flavors of this you can play. I solo leveled most of the way to 100 in a super tanky 750k ehp version this league in 8mod red altar maps that still had 80m pinnacle dmg or so. I needed to run a bunch to complete my challenges. Can you share your PoB and budget?
@@fearlessdumb0 Pobb = l_dRaryaf3Xa if this comment get throught its youtube blocking links -_- well have 100 divines left after failing 3 times augment phys on scepter ended up buying one cheap for 25 div lol... a lot of things can be improved but kinda tired of farming with cast on death portal here lol i really want to pump up the tankyness before damge right now
You can follow my profile, though I’ve not swapped out yet as I still don’t have a 21/20 shrapnel. I’ll also post a video about it once I have some results to report.
hi Dumb0, been following your build this league and having a blast, I have just transitioned into self-chill and however I do occasionally get frozen, how do you deal with freeze-immune in this setup? (I already took 50% reduced effect of chill on Pantheon so rip that option)
ty for the fast reply. IMO Ralakesh is way too OP to give up for, mean time I'll use a lowest freeze/chill immune on a life flask, maybe I'll swap to a rare pair of boots later sometimes when I craft a decent one@@fearlessdumb0
after doing an extensive search on craftofexile, I don't think there is one for jewels, only corrupted blood immunity. Thanks for the suggestion tho, I'll just stick with flasks for now@@fearlessdumb0
Yes, I'm making a crafting video for it. I've been recording it the last couple days on and off. Recipe is: (1) Chaos Spam until +1 all on an UNINFLUENCED base (2) Annul down to +1 all, if you rip, go back to 1 (3) Once you have +1 all isolated, Prefix Cannot Change and scour to make it magic (4) Imprint (5) Regal + yolo annul. You have to get +1 all isolated on a rare base. If you rip, go to 4 (6) Bench Cannot Roll Attack (7) Add/Rem Physical for +2/+2 gems (8) Three options for finishing: (a) Bench Trap Throwing Speed and call it good (b) Prefix Cannot Change + reforge crit for 50/50 to land some tier of crit chance. If you brick, yolo annul and back to 4 if you fail (c) Prefix Cannot Change + aisling for 17% chance at Trap Throwing Speed. If you brick, yolo annul then back to 4 if you fail I was using an (a) for a while, but as part of the crafting video I yolo'd for (c) so I could demonstrate part of it and actually hit Trap Throwing Speed on my only planned attempt. Expected cost to get to an (a) amulet is something like base + 30div, depending on materials costs. It is 4 imprints on average.
Just swap out Explosive Trap for the shrapnel one. The clear is fantastic. If that’s not enough, swap Conc Effect for Inc AoE and you’ll be off screening stuff
can sharpnel be play in charge stacker uniques? (ralakesh power charge kit), I wanna play this build with more unique like dialla, dragonfang, void battery.
It depends. You'll be able to find a corrupted +2 Tinkerskin without too much effort, but a +2 corrupted Diallas will cost a fortune. An uncorrupted Diallas is probably cost wise about the same as a +2 Tinkerskin. Personally I think the best chest is either a Restless Ward (+Ralakesh) or a Kintsugi for defenses if you aren't going self-chill with void battery. Tinkerskin is ok but the sustain from it is pretty mediocre compared to Restless Ward with Endurance Charges and the CDR doesn't do anything for us. Its a source for phasing, I guess, but I run a Quartz flask so YMMV@@LawiId
I've done another trickster which I'm not quite happy with. Do you think I can respecc to this and make it my only build for the league for completing all challenges?
Question on the free aura tech. Does the process go like this; 1. 4L Raise spectre, haste, zealotry, guardian's blessing. 2. Cast raise spectre, cast zealotry 3. raise next spectre, cast haste Then the both degen at staggered rates so the blessings can both go on and I never need to cast again?
The order is 1) 4L raise Spectre, Guardians Blessing, Zealotry, Haste 2) Cast Raise Spectre twice 3) Cast Zealotry. Wait a few seconds, cast Haste At that point it will stagger their health and the degen will offset. You are still bound by the 1 aura limit of Guardians Blessing and can only have one active.
@@fearlessdumb0 First, let me say thank you for the quick response I love this build. Second, maybe I'm confused or doing it wrong I know staggering the cast will replace the first aura with the second but they both die at the same and when they respawn I have neither of the auras. Am I misunderstanding? Is the benefit not having to recast the minions but still recasting the auras? I was under the impression this saved on recasting auras
This saves on recasting auras if you are able to stagger the two minions health. The easiest way to stagger their health is to switch auras right when one dies. Watch the ZiggyD video in the description, he probably does a better job explaining. @@DamagePlanX
It depends on your setup. In mine, Ashes is best because I’m already at a level 30 gem and it gives me 50% quality. The BiS amulet would be a Focused Amulet with +4 gems and 88 crit multi.
Why would we not want to utilize Awakened Elemental Focus Support over the crit dmg? From POB is gives us a decent boost in DPS over that? just asking? Also, wondering if someone can give me advice on the best thing to adjust so I can farm ubers? I feel like I'm close but I tried to do uber searing and got him to 50% then couldn't finish him off as he one shot me. Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thanks for the guide, it has helped me a ton though!
does guardian's blessing need to be max? love your build so far, one of my favorites also. Just need to get my hands on a MB now, since i never own it b4
Overlaps is incorrect in PoB for Shrapnel, if you do the actual math it’s closer to like 38-45% depending on your AoE breakpoints. The base phys hit is 25% or so higher but you won’t realistically be able to get 100% overlaps unless you are cheesing it by throwing in a hallway (Crimson Temple, for example) or throwing against a wall.
Hey mate, do you think this build is cappable to do ultimatum t16 with the trialmaster kill? Im doing the challanges right now and my bv get blasted cause of melee range lol Thanks for the videos! Will try explosive trap sooner or later in this league too because of your videos :)
I've done a ton of 10+ T16 ultimatums. Still haven't found the trialmaster, but I've killed him many times in previous leagues, so there's that. This challenge is frustrating, mostly because the loot is garbage.
Awesome update, im about to turn my build into what you have here. I have never done a bossing build before, always a mapper so its a bit of a new world to me. What is the best way to make currency bossing? Would be nice to see your methods and best way (from start to finish) to make money bossing - all the way from posting on TFT (i assume) to boss killing to charging/collecting fees, etc. Thanks for the content!
The easiest way to make money this league is run Twisted / Formed laps. It’s crazy currency because Progenesis is so expensive. Elder frags sell for 0.6-7d/set and Writs are 1.6d. You can run a Twisted lap in about 6 minutes if you horizon maps to favorable layouts, 4ish for Formed. I did a guide on running Twisted a few leagues ago and the idea is still the same if you are looking for a how-to.
hi. i accidentally hit hubris circlet with not only 30% ele damage, trap and mine, hypo,conc effect, but also increased effect. How good is it and what would be approximate price?
Increased AoE I think might be BiS for Ice Trap in that setup? But I can't remember. I feel like I've seen those helms go for 300d+ in prior leagues. Grats, I hope you find a buyer.
66% should be fine. You just need to make sure you aren’t out hitting your regen that’s the only consideration. I think anything 60% or higher should be reasonable.
My chill is falling off before my forbidden rite is ready (4s cooldown) POB says I have 200% chill duration so not sure why this is happening as there seems to be a small delay (about 0.5 a second) before being chilled again
@@fearlessdumb0 can you tell me your gear progress? right now my progress is somewhere near your league start guide would u recommend straight go forward to self chill without mageblood
No, you can also use a reasonably well rolled Adorned and stack 3x reduced mana cost jewels. You just need enough to offset the loss of the ring elreon benchcraft. I should have said that in the video, apologies.
hi, ive gone through your POB from the comprehensive guide and i cant seem to understand how your explosive traps base crit chance is 4.57 + 6.00 --- with that you only need a little over 800% increased crit chance to be capped. i have almost 1100 % increased crit chance (and still not capped) because i cant for the life of me figure out how you have raised your base crit by so much (im aware increased crit supp adds 2% to the base crit and i am alrerady running that) please help :)
@@fearlessdumb0 the one posted in your comprehensive guide from 3 weeks ago --- you mentioned that the first thing to work towards is capping crit , but a watchers prismatic jewel with hatred crit on it is like 20 div atm. i dno how else to raise base crit for explosive trap
@@chunny7924 yes sir I did. My crit chance is like 93% because my total added crit chance from tree items and flasks is 1100% but to get 100% something has to raise the base crit chance of your spell because all crit chance modifiers are multiplied onto the base. The only way to do this on trickster apart from increased crit support is to get a watcher's jewel which is expensive AF.
@@kuatoroespada You can get base crit also with charms (while at max power charges, while using ralakesh boots). Im crit chance capped (over 2.81% or 21% inc) without zealotry. Total inc. 864% and 6 + 4.6 base.
MF was fun. Not my favorite play style. I was doing 8mod T16 with deli+beyond and full juice with a 60m dps shrapnel trapper. Was working pretty well, I would switch between goldwyrms to get 78% IIQ but I found the Ralakesh boots to be so much QoL. I also did the distillate for a while to get up to 90% but it was an enormous pain in the ass and made an already cancerous play style more cancerous. PoB (pobb in) c8mQxN8uhD-o
Dumbo, I dont get it regarding the free aura. My Aura ends every time my spirits teleports to me. That means that my aura lasts only 10 seoconds or something like that......
Hi bro. Disclaimer My English is not good but i have some questions. How many cost this build mageblood setup without price mb. And what a difference two scepter or rapier + scepter ? ❤
A very well rolled sceptre is a bit more damage than a very well rolled rapier but not by a ton. My rapier didn’t have crit multi because I went very budget when crafting so when I had more currency I went two sceptres. Either is good. My current setup I did not pay more than 10div for anything in the build other than MB but I bought things like FF jewels week one when they were 7 and 3 Div. I think they were 25d for the pair last I checked, so I’m not sure what a more current price would be. My best guess is 80-100div + MB with all rares self-crafted.
You can use soul of brine king unless you've bricked it by getting the chill upgrade, or you could use rare boots (instead of ralakesh unique) with cannot be frozen cradt
Does the Shrapnel explosive trap work well in 80% deli maps (its fine if we can't go mf)? I had a rough league start and chose the wrong toon and don't feel like playing this league anymore.. I kinda gave up on it after trying to salvage my league start and still failing. But reason I'm asking about deli is I am considering this build for next league. Keep up the awesome content! :)
I haven't specifically spammed 80% deli with Shrapnel yet, but I've done 100% deli many times with the normal trap. It will depend on your investment level as to how comfortable it is.
Shrapnel in an open field with no obstacles will be slightly less single target than the normal gem. In areas where you can throw against a wall (Uber Maven, Invitations, etc.) the Shrapnel gem is more damage because the base phys hit is about 25% higher and you can force additional overlaps by contracting the space the gem can spawn extra waves. So I guess the answer is, it depends :) I've been using Shrapnel full time for a couple weeks and I love it.
What do you think of the idea of stacking abyss jewels and using the Lightpoacher helmet with explosive trap? Is it a bait? My idea so far is to stack abyss jewels to the moon and have them all magic and corrupted for The Adorned to boost. Using Shroud of the Lightless to also get ele pen. And trying to run as a trickster for frenzy charge stacking, Ralakesh boots, Replica Badge of the Brotherhood, and the Arn's belt for Brutal charges for triple damage chance. Edit* forgot to add using The Squire since it's so inexpensive this league, and was the main inspiration for this fever dream of an idea XD
Hmm, it doesn’t sound like bait. I’ve not really considered it fully but it seems like it should work fine. What would you link with Squire? Maybe make a 5L weapon just by awakening something with zinc Crit Dmg support and throw on the Squire to make it 7L / 8L? Seems like a really good idea…
@@fearlessdumb0 Yeah, it sounds kinda sweet to try putting together. The weapon sounds like it's an *expensive* craft though. Also, idk if it was clear, but I was thinking of keeping the spirit charges by making the Lightpoacher's ability not proc with either archmage support into the helm, or lifetap + CI. What jewel stats would you look for? Crit and crit multi? I guess the only thing is how much damage and survivability is possible with this mish-mash? I highly doubt it'll be the best way to make the build, but more like a fun project that can still do most of the game.
Is there a discord available? I started this build and need abit of help from any pros that can help me push for insta phasing ubers. New to bossing but have followed as closely as possible.
The absolute most important thing is getting high evasion on the chest and getting secrets of suffering for crit chance. After that it's all extra. I don't even have secrets yet and I cleared the atlas with this build
@xXVintersorgXx hey thanks for the reply. Since that comment I've now kill uber shaper, searing, eater, maven. Done sirus deathless but yet to kill uber elder and elder sirus. I fixed afew things the other day that really helped!
hey man, i tried your explosive trap and its a fun to play. Just 1 question: when it's worth to play the 8-link helmet? Or is it not needed this patch?
It’s way overkill, but you can do it if you want. I am still on a 6L and deleting all the Uber bosses. I’ve done 7L helmets and 8L helmets in previous leagues because I wanted to minmax, I just haven’t this league. It’s fun to do, I might still do it this league but I’m working on MF trapping at the moment.
I think that the explosive trap of magnitude is begging for the Mine-Trap combo tech due to the 30% less throwing speed that gets bypassed by mines. Swift assembly double dips, and you just throw more for less damage. Considered doing it but haven’t amassed the currency to make the swap (and have a couple things to try first)
The mines still have to “throw” the trap though, you still pay the time cost for it. Swift Assembly is also kind of a pain because of the random throw pattern. I can go revisit it, but when I tried it earlier it felt worse than just stacking throw speed
It's a damn fun build and i have no problem taking out most of the end game bosses...but there is one problem. Bleed and physical one-shots and life dot damage in general, how the heck do i get tankier. I sit at about 100 million DPS 3K HP and about 1200 shield.
Still looking for secrets in SSF lol. Sirgog suggested maybe I try and get leadership price from o'eternal. Still cleared Atlas. Haven't tried to do any Pinnacle bosses
@@fearlessdumb0 lol, that's SSF for ya. All part of the fun for me. I'm an alt-aholic as well so I've leveled like 7 characters already lol. This build is my main project this league. It's been great even though I haven't found secrets. With the shrapnel gem it's a great mapper
I’ve come to love the Shrapnel gem. My MF trapper has almost 100m dps and 93 IIQ and can clear maps around as fast as mirror tier HH bow builds. Shrapnel is the best new addition this league, I love it
I've beening trying to get passed t8s with this build. 83 percent to evad. All res over capped. Chaos res at 23. I don't see how I ain't got the damage. Replica dragonfang, 1 scpeters both +1 phsyic with 100 spell crit chance. Working on +2 for both. Still no giga Chad damage.
Flexbile. Use whatever you like. If you want to go selfchill in the endgame, DONT complete the reduced effect of chill or you will be sad later. With Ralakesh I use the Brine King for freeze (otherwise I'd have Rin benched freeze immunity on boots and go for more ele dmg reduction). Other pantheon is free to use whatever makes most sense for your setup.
@fearlessdumb0 Can you please have a look at my POB? I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. Invested heavily, got mageblood, self-chill and still can't do uber shaper consistently (his bullet-hell oneshots, even with sefl-chill). Not to mention uber maven who is impossible. Damage is not there to instaphase. Maybe I'm throwing incorrectly, though I preload with all traps and ele weakness. POBbin: ippodlIuXI8z
You've got a very glass cannon setup currently, your max phys his is only 6k. You have endurance charges ticked on your PoB but I don't see a source for them? So your ehp is even lower than what you currently have. If you want to be able to tank shaper ball hell: 1) You at minimum will want a guard skill. If you don't add Endurance charges, use the highest Steelskin your str will support with 20% quality for the reduced CDR. I use mine on left-click 2) Endurance Charges are awesome. You can get them from charms (end charge on hit), Ralakesh boots, or Enduring Composure. The PDR they provide feels very good when mapping / uber bossing 3) I'd change your chest. It doesn't cost must to craft a very high eva/ES Sadist Garb instead of a pure evasion chest. Right now your primary defensive layer is ES and your pool is ~1200. With a good Sadist Garb you can get 1800-1900 ES and something like 20% more EHP, and it will also synergize better with Ghost Dance. Buy a fractured hybrid T1 eva/ES Sadist Garb and loathing essence until some suffix you want (I usually look for Life Regen). Lock suffix and reforge Chaos to get some tier of chaos res, then eldritch chaos + eldritch exalt until you get some decent roll of %Inc eva/ES and bench the other one you didn't get. That should be enough to be able to sit in shaper ball hell.
hey was wondering how will the mb help my mana ? i got a mb and a impossible scape with necromantic agies keystone and got the dreamer and 2 other mana notables but still got roughly 88 regen with clarity on so id like to know how a mb helps with mana i also got a 120% adorned but idk if i should go for mana gems or just focus on dmg since mine is not looking good rn
Do you have a flask with 25% Inc effect / 60-70% Inc effect enchant and the 25% reduced mana cost of skills on it? It’s a benchcraft you can put on a flask, it should solve all mana problems almost immediately.
@@fearlessdumb0 yeah one of my friends told me i should run that and just did it completely fixes the mana with dreamer but now im like wondering is there a way to get more dmg ? because im running pretty much the same gear as your week 2 update pob but in lacking a lot of damage like i cant even clear sanctum properly i even dropped lightning warp and the guardians blessing setup for a lvl 76 specter setup with pain artist hydra and spirit of fortune for high level auras but still dont deal that much damage and a nother problem im not running ambush and assassinate instead running 2 other magic jewels sitting at 100% crit chance and 760% ish crit multi im still running an impossible scape and using high voltage on amulet and im running 1more magic jewels instead of lethal pride should i drop that extra magic jewels for lethal pride ? i have no attribute problems btw because of the #%increased attributes corrupt implicit on both rings so thought lethal pride might be useless
You can add more phys mitigation. Run Determination instead of heralds. Bench phys taken as ele on your chest/helm. Run a granite. Run a chest with phys mitigation build in like dopplegangers guise. There are lots of ways to fix that for whatever your setup is.
This is what I ran MFing around week two. I kept switching between Ralakesh / Goldwyrms for 58 -> 78% IIQ and I think I decided that the extra IIQ wasn't worth it for the QoL that Ralakesh provided. My gear now is considerably better, but this was still enough damage to do juiced 8mod T16s with deli+beyond. pobb: c8mQxN8uhD-o
@@fearlessdumb0 just tried the Penance brand. Clear was just meh. Now I might try explosive trap. Can you get enough AOE that the shrapnel can overlap? Can it scale a lot of dmg without gear and mainly just the tree plus ascendency?
No, very rarely. I’m doing 99% bossing content and I only die if I’m being really lazy. I can sit in the middle of shaper ball hell and be fine and that’s probably the most dangerous thing I regularly interact with. Nothing else survives the first trap set anyway, I instaphase or delete everything.
Probably the best upgrade available to you is a 7L helmet (cost is ~25-30d to self craft) and a nice Sadist Garb with Hatred/Aura effect implicits. After that, I'd say levels because you are level 95. An hour or two in a 5way would be another medium cluster which is something like 12% more dps. @@samstring7833
Also, I'm surprised you are having dmg problems. It looks like you are 120m+ dps. Aren't you phasing Ubers in a second or two? If you aren't I'd double check that you are preloading dmg effectively (tapping Ele Weakness once before they phase in for the 40% additional phys as extra, dropping a bear trap, hitting max traps) @@samstring7833
I'm doing shaper fairly quick, but stuff like exarch and maven I seem to be struggling, it might just be a skillissue/ lack of experience, but I'm not sure, I tend to put down a bear trap and press ele weak, but do I ele weak before throwing traps? @@fearlessdumb0
I should have also said this in the video, but you DO NOT need a Mageblood to go self-chill. You can offset the mana cost reduction loss from the ring slot with a reasonably well rolled The Adorned and 3x corrupted magic jewels with 5% reduced mana cost.
Cheers!
What percentage is "well rolled"?
Do you have a PoB for that?
@@addressunknown8 it's 120% for 11% reduced and 140% for 12% reduced per jewel
What he said is correct. If you want you can buy a synth base with 2% reduced mana cost implicit for cheap to get an extra 4% per jewel but you’ll have to alt spam for 5% reduced.
@@fearlessdumb0 Then you have to vaal it and hope it doesn't brick/doesn't get a corrupted implicit :)
Yes, excellent point :)@@foxxxooo
This is my first ever POE league and been following your build since day one, absolutely loving it, so much fun. Thanks for all the content been an amazing way to learn the game, already smashing through amped up T16 maps with this thing - plus it deletes bosses. Keep it up man!
Thank tou for the shoutout and content you have made , one of my best league starter i ever had with the explosive trap ! Self chill just feels so smooth , looking to play this build again next season ! Keep up the the good work and merry chrismas !
Thank you, you too
Thank you for sharing this build and a detailed guide. I have not crafted a +2 scepter/amulet yet and I am about to hit level 94. Super happy how my character turned out this league.
Explosive trap is my favourite build to do bossing. Tanky, good dmg, speedy af. All thing I need in one character. Love your content man this build is really perfect for me.
Really glad to hear, thanks for sharing
Really tanky?) Lets check this, can invite you to any Aul boss at 1k+ delve, show how its tanky, please.
I played this last league and farmed a full mirror off Uber shaper. I’m trying to make a mapper build now but if I don’t like it… I’m coming back to this !!
Just did my first uber ever using this build. Great guide with thorough instructions. Loving it so far. Hoping to farm a mageblood to take explosive trap to its limits.
Grats!
Thanks for the update dude. The guardian blessing tech looks good, the holy relic felt really bad, so i was using a prism guardian divine blessing weapon swap
So excited to see how your new build works out :)
Thanks for your videos bud, you are the best.
My first POE League ive played past maps and i've managed to purchase a mageblood (although it was a 2 flask) and do uber shaper. Dumbo is an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for all the content youve made!
A few additions for the build above:
1. Do NOT rebuild into self-chill without mageblood. You will have a constant pain in the ass about mana, resist, damage, survivability and if you have weak chaos resist every second boss will kill you with one hit. It's like you decided to spend money to get doctors to give you hemorrhoids.
2. This build doesn't shine too well in a full map clear, so farming the twisted and something like that is a great idea. But, for future generations - The Vault map is a pain in the ass, you can run 3 other maps during its completion. And the second one - constructor is another pain in the ass, so to kill him I suggest either using a white map or using shrapnel. I have 11 million damage, but on a map with conc ground and hp to es I can fight this monkey for literally minutes because I just can't hit him with traps unless I use shrapnel
3. Not the most obvious point, maybe I just missed it in the guide. The author frees up a lot of points in the tree by taking gloves with phys to cold (the mod itself on gloves + influence), such gloves are not expensive, so pay attention
4. In the league, the author uses charms on spell suppress, and although it frees a large number of points, but spell suppress is VERY expensive, so I came to the conclusion that using crit multi per charge and damage pen ele resist is a good idea if you are not swimming in money.
is there any downside to always using the shrapnel gem? does it less dmg on bosses or is it just better then the normal gem in general?
I have been following Dumbo for some time now and his content is remarkable I wish he would stream more amazing build, did everything for me this league
We need an update video!
On a side note, is it possible to run Sanctums with the self-damage from FR for self chill? Not sure if self hits will deduct resolve.
Yes, I've done many sanctum runs. FR self damage does not count against you.
I'll do an update, been crafting mirror sceptres :)
Can you explain in detail how the Guardian Blessing tech works? Are you able to run both Haste and Zealotry auras permanently up at all times?
Hey Fearlessdumb0, not sure if you're still reading comments, but just want to say I love the build, and appreciate all the resources you've created to help newbies like myself cultivate a winning thought process in order to troubleshoot for themselves. That said, I feel like I have a few blind spots still, and was wondering if you'd care to look at my PoB at your convience? Not sure whether you have a Patreon, or stream on Twitch where I could contribute to your work and this channel somehow, but I'd be happy to knowing you've made this one of the most fun leagues I've had since playing this game (no MF needed, either). Thanks again.
Sure, drop a PoB link here (just the last bit, not the full url). I’ll take a look
@@fearlessdumb0 /9QzvXHh7T2tG Here ya go! Thanks for your time. Given the investment I think I may have made an egregious error somewhere since damage is relatively low. Might spec into Heartstopper if I can raise the damage ceiling. Next move is to invest in clusters as I level up to 100, and end goal is to farm uber Shaper and Maven. Any feedback is appreciated, and thank you again.
Hey, sorry it took me a day to get to this. Here's what I saw on first glance:
(1) If you are going to run an ashes, you should definitely try to hit the 30% breakpoint. Either with a 21/23 Explosive Trap + a 27% ashes, or a 30% ashes. Without 30% quality, a dragonfang is going to be more damage. The 10% quality breakpoint is another explosion and essentially a more multiplier for your damage.
(2) Level 20 supports would be a couple million more dps
(3) This is a QoL thing, but swap your Summon Holy Relic for a Raise Zombie (ideally level 20) and grab a couple Dark Marionette spectres. You can degen their health and they resummon themselves, they feel amazing compared to the relic.
(4) Your lethal pride isn't doing anything for your damage wise. You should be able to grab a 10% DD and/or one with Phys as Extra Fire for pretty cheap with all the 5way carry service that has gone on the last few weeks. That's a substantial damage increase for almost nothing
(5) You should definitely redeemer slam your Alternating Sceptre. About half of the mods are excellent, with the BiS being Hatred effect
(6) It looks like you have no jewel in Socket #9?
(7) I think after that I would consider getting a 7L helmet and rolling a Sadist Garb. They're 25div on trade at the moment, or if you want to roll your own it's something like 16 horror essences to roll Hypothermia (or Trap and Mine dmg) and the Horror mod, then 2div to reforge crit for hopefully some tier of base crit, then about 12 Matrons (which are 1.1d right now) to get Conc effect prefix. It frees up sockets and allows you to roll aura effect on your chest alongside big flat life regen.
That's all I have on a quick glance. Let me know if you get stuck.
Cheers.
Could you elaborate on the final part of the glove crafting? As a newer player I'm a bit stumped by what you meant after the 'rolled a higher tier searing exarch implicit'. Craft of exile calculator isn't giving me any options for that seemingly and I'm really confused
Yes, so in order to get 25% phys to cold implicit you will want to elevate the mod using Orb of conflict. If you read the bottom of the orb it says that it favors the “lower” tier mod, so to take advantage of this you’ll use a single throw away Exceptional of the mod you DONT want to elevate before using the Orb of Conflict.
If you win the elevation gamble, repeat this process until you get to 25%. If you lose skip the Execeptional part and orb of conflict again.
Hi all, is anyone else having trouble with the spectres? When I leave a zone, they vanish :-\ I've tried with aura off and with aura on, if i leave my hideout they disappear, if i summon them in a map and then leave the map they disappear :-\ I'm not taking the gem out or swapping betweens weapons, is there anything else that could be causing this?
@fearlessdumb0 do you have a HC ssf pob for this build? I got a private league starting up soon and want to give this build a shot.
I don’t but I know people have been playing it in HC. You could snag a PoB off of ninja I’m sure
Trying out self chill without MB, I have a 100% adorned with 3x 5% reduced jewels, 20q inspiration and dreamer anoint but cant sustain the mana cost for single target. Wondering if I have to go for a +1 amulet with elreon craft instead of ashes. Or do I need to use a reduced mana cost craft on a flask?
What's your mana cost? Can you grab a clarity watcher's eye? A rare amulet might be best if not and drop ashes. You can make a very good +2/crit multi amulet that can have elreon benched for not a ton of currency.
Was able to fix my mana cost with a clarity watchers just had to drop a gem somewhere for clarity, cheers! @@fearlessdumb0
How do you craft the +2 Kitsungi? The only one on trade is 10 div and it’s a 4 socket.
You can easily 6 link a corrupted item by bench craft 6 socket jeweller's orb and equal vaal orb then proced to 5 link it which also cost same amount of vaal orb as fusing then slam a tainted fusing to get 50/50 6 linked.
also you can just buy lot's of them kitsungi then vaal in hope you hit +2 you need, which should be cheaper than 10 div but takes more work, as for 2 corrupt you need to take item to the temple.
I usually use tainted jewelers and fusings to 6L corrupted bases. 4 socket from bench then 50/50 twice to get 6 sockets. Then 4L from bench and win a 50/50 twice to 6L. Shouldn’t cost more than just straight up linking an uncorrupted chest with fusings
this build is insane
Ty for vids Fearless really useful stuff . Quick questions if you can help please.
1)For boss rushing or bossing like shaper/UUE , is it necessary to be ailment immune as I have a choice to use storm shroud + flask shock avoidance with MB or should I just put another useful suffix like increased movement/cast speed and another jewel slot in place of storm shroud. If I phase run through enemies and 1 tap essences, is the ailment avoidance really that important as better offence = better defence in this case?
2)Is the rapier shaper craft you showed much better than a 1+1 sceptre ( the off hand is an alternating sceptre). I'm using replica dragon fang + restless ward +2 trap implicit. I know up to 30 level of ET is good so is that the deciding factor. So if below lvl30 , use a +1+1 sceptre and if above, use a rapier?
3)Is the winterweave self chill combo doable and worth it , if I have MB with a 25% reduced mana cost flask or are there better choices for the 2 rings. I plan to keep boots empty for invitation rushing due to movement speed or can the self chill setup be avoided with a 4 link lightning warp in your opinion so movement speed isn't that important for speed.
4)For uber shaper, to tank or semi afk his ball phase, should I keep empty body armour for maji increased energy shield or is there a way to do this without losing 6 gem sockets.
Ty!
(1) no, but ignite sucks I’d look into managing that if you can. I use a corrupted ring but there are other ways
(2) check PoB for your weapon question. I don’t know how your build is configured. A very good rapier is better than a basic +2 sceptre generally, but lots of caveats
(3) selfchill is incredible, highly recommend if you have a MB
(4) to afk in shaper balls you don’t need maji just a decent ES pool and enough evasion that ghost shrouds refill your ES pool when hit
@@fearlessdumb0 Cheers mate. For query 3, I should have phrased as saying if we have fast movement speed with self chill, is a lightning warp necessary. Does having one (fast movement speed or fast lightning warp travel) mean the other option is not needed or do both combine equal to much faster travel.
Asking because if a 4 socket lightning warp is enough to move around the maps, then this frees up the rings or vice versa where 4 sockets get freed up if LW is not needed.
Ah, I see. Well, a 4L lightning warp is pretty solid solo, but selfchill really makes it pop-off because the 30% action speed not only boosts your movement speed, it also boosts your cast speed (which LW loves), and boosts your trap throwing speed as a 30% more damage multiplier.
There are some caveats on the more damage multiplier thing, for example you won't be able to preload more damage than you have max traps, but in general the dps for active trap throwing is a straight more multiplier.
If you don't want to run the selfchill rings that's totally workable too. You can run fractured delve Phys as Extra Fire rings or go pure herald scaling with circles of guilt or something, it just wont be able to turn around things like Uber Feared as fast.@@dimitrikoblayev4423
I would say that if you wanted to just pick one, I would personally choose selfchill. The trap throwing speed difference is an amazing QoL and damage multiplier.
Thanks alot mate, I've been watching past videos and theres a ton of information which is very useful. I'm trying to farm uber shaper so trying to min max those runs ^^ currently compared to your 3min max, I have 5-6 mins lol so alot of DPS I need.
Was lucky to get a 7 link helm using your crafting videos and now trying to get other extra bits of dps like balance of terror/ele weakness combo.
Are you planning to do a final build video for you 3.23 min max version as with charms theres alot of options or is there a way to see your POB please.@@fearlessdumb0
Hey! I'm using the league start guide as a template to play this build in Ruthless and having a blast! I was wondering, shrapnel seems like it was designed for clear and the untransfigured version to be used singletarget but in my PoB if I select average hits it still shows shrapnel as more DPS than my explosive Trap. Can that be right? Unsure if I should use it for bossing, especially since the visual pollution is so bad. Thanks if you get around to answering this :)
Pobs numbers are wrong for Shrapnel, it erroneously gives you 100% overlaps which is incorrect. You CAN get better damage out of Shrapnel but it requires cheesing a bit by throwing against a wall (which contracts the secondary radius forcing 2x overlaps) or by playing closed maps like Crimson Temple.
Normal explosive trap is better for single target.
great build. what a reason behind trap mastery "trap cannot be damage" ? and how to craft alternating scepter +2 like you use ?
Traps can be destroyed by ground AoE before triggering and it will give you variable feeling dps. Once you are above a certain damage threshold (>100m or so) you don't really need it anymore, but it's important at anything below that.
thank you@@fearlessdumb0
Hi. Fearless. We're way into the league and I'm still having a blast with the build. Thanks again.
I'm planning on league starting this for 3.24 and want to do some practice runs in SSF. Was wondering if you had suggestions given the lack of uniques/alternating sceptre? Was also wondering your thoughts on best ways to maximize currency farming with the build outside of carry service if I wanted to farm a mirror week 1? If you have any thoughts I'm all ears. Cheers.
I think the viable uniques are still the same, Galesight and the Interrogation jewel. You can play without brittle all together too, you’ll just want to invest more in a second crit wheel and elsewhere on the tree. When I uodate the guide for 3.24 I’ll try to lay out a passive tree only alternative pre-brittle
Hey boss! Was just wondering if you're planning on playing Explosive Trap Trickster for the new league, and whether you'll be creating content for Necropolis? As always thanks for the guides. Can't wait to league start this in 3.24!
I plan on making an Explosive Trap of Shrapnel guide (and related content) for 3.24, and my current plan is to play it for Necropolis unless there is some new banger transfigured gem that I can't refuse.
Either way, I will again publish the guide with all that I learned/incorporated in Affliction. I have some really interesting things to share for getting more damage out that aren't well known.
@@fearlessdumb0 There's a lot of attention being directed at the Saboteur ascendency the last few days. To appease my curiosity I'm going to explore both options. I know you've played Saboteur in the past. Is there a reason you favor trickster overall?
Trickster has better defense and better offense. Sabo has better AoE (and some nice QoL defensive things like Ignite immunity). I love Uber bossing, and for that use case I find Trickster better because you get super juiced Spell Suppression which is the best defensive layer for Ubers.@@TempestMind6309
@@fearlessdumb0 Thanks for answering my questions, Fearless. Really looking forward to the new vids. Take care!
Is there anywhere i could see how you crafted your, cold exposure double damage +2 alternating scepter that i saw you using late game on poe ninja
yea, I explain how I crafted it in a video in the description of the build guide. The process is the same for that sceptre, fossil until +1 all etc.

ive made this build and i can barely damage ubers. same rings, same weapons, boots and gloves almost, 2 less levels on my trap gem, I got both FF/FF jewels and im missing a lethal pride.

for self chill without mageblood would you use sunblast? just wondering if id be able to cap my res without a rare belt
Yea I would probably use a sunblast, but I would make sure you can manage mana / res without the ring slots before you commit.
If I missed it im sorry but what wildwood?
Been running primalist with %to throw extra traps and feels decent.
Whats the actual play here?
Hello, im kinda new at this and i just wonder how do you have double my dps in pob. I miss few gem levels and forbiden flesh, not sure about the phys/cold conversion. And how did you manage to get the 80% overlap chance ? When you have time can you look at my pob please ? Thanks alot, love this build. POB:s807Ba36FxJU
You mentioned Self Chill is a More Damage. What am missing with that? Action speed = more damage? or is there a puzzle piece im missing.
Action speed is a more multiplier for trap throwing speed. 30% action directly results in 30% more dps.
This is what i though but glad i was correct. Learning this build has been a lot of fun.
Is going for the 7 or 8 link helm a step i should take this league? I have belt obtained all but the +4 restless ward you have in your last update. I just dont know if my currency is better spent going for that double corrupt or the helm. IM blasting all ubers currently although slower since im missing +2
Final question, Explosive trap of Sharp is showing more damage in POB over reg. Is this actually the case?
@@fearlessdumb0
The 7L helm is amazing, I'd recommend it if you are looking to spend 40ish divines on an upgrade (and can swing 15-20div more for a nice crafted rare Sadist Garb). An 8L helm will probably be 200div this league. Who knows about a +4, I just lucked into mine early league before people knew they were worth having. I'm not sure they would hit trade without being on a bad base, so I wouldn't count on one of those.
As far as Shrapnel being more DPS, the answer is generically no. PoB gives credit for 100% of overlaps with it, and it's not accurate. I did the math and its more like 40-45% overlaps, BUT you can cheese the Shrapnel gem and throw against a wall or in closed spaces and dramatically increase your damage since the base phys hit is 25% higher than the normal gem.@@jamespeterson4047
Thanks so much this and taking the time to reply. I ended up crafting the 8L helm I got super super lucky and was only 60div. its all t3 gems but still was insanely lucky. I hit trap and mine super fast. Then when i reforged Cold It hit both Hypo and con effect in one reforge with an open prefix.
With that luck I went for the T4 Aisling and got my +2 AoE gems. This helm is nuts. After crafting up the chest too i doubled my damage out put on uber bosses. Well worth the time.
Thanks for the great info on Sharpnel. Still love it for clearing maps.
I mad a bunch of currency mapping Torando shot start of the league so its been fun dumping into this build and bossing right now. First league i have killed all the ubers.

Are you likely to make a complete crafting guide for this build? I've gotten a char ready, leveled and have the flasks + uniques but am struggling in terms of getting the weapons, gloves + helmet as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to crafting (Or hey does anyone have items they want to sell?)
Crafting guides for weapons can be found in the desc of the build guide. Amulet too, but I’d buy a 30% ashes and call it good this league.
Which armor would you recommend to use for build? Double corrupted restless ward and kintsugi are impossible to get this league, prices are mad if they appear. Thank you!
Crafted Rare Chest +7L helm > Kintsugi > Restless Ward would be the order I would look for body armour. A corrupted +2 restless ward costs almost nothing.
looking through your old guide and i felt kinda stuck
damage felt bad, mana problem, and also idk what should i do next

Hey, but how this mod "increased damage against chilled enemy" is working if we have a Secrets of Suffering on the sceptre when chill cannot be provided, thanks for a new video!
Skitterbots are not affected by Secrets of Suffering and still apply shock and chill.
Do you have a guide how to craft your trigger weapon? Do we need for self chill the 4sec variant or is the 8 sec craft enough?
found a video, but there is increased spell damage fractured and not all spell gems?
Look in the description of the build guide, I link a crafting guide for both sceptres I use there.@@odunkafa1595
@fearlessdumb0 Im crafting gloves and cant do the res swap on 3:27. It says "No valid mods for this craft" even there is. Trying to do Lightning -> Cold. Is it bug or am I missing something?
Solved, I was blocking it myself with normal cold res on item... More you know... :D
@@labalaa I’m running into the same problem I don’t understand the solution.
Fire damage to attacks isn’t a resistance so I’m REALLY not understanding this and he just absolutely flies by this part in the video. Very frustrating.

When in self chill how to negate the damage we take ? I take half of my life as dmg... 1500/3000 hp ouch... hurts and i die a lot... :(
at 3:50 when you are chilled your life barrely moves... how is that ? :x
What's your chaos res?
@@fearlessdumb0 I'm at 9 chaos res and I also have the chaos flask... maybe it's just the timings / gameplay, like i take the hit when the flask is not up or something I don't know...
From when I first commented, I noticed you removed the cast when damage taken setup and went steelskin which seems to soak the damage from forbidden rite ? I still die a lot I guess because of the timings don't know.. Currently crafting gloves for with +17 chaos res, will see how it feels, otherwise i'll go back to old setup without self chill, I don't like dying :D (Too bad I wanted to try to farm ubers but with only 10M dps it's rough). Still loving the build tho
Do you already have an idea to craft the weapons in 3.24 with the changes to veiled mods? :)
I think it’s going to be a pretty similar (but now more expensive) process. Hopefully the aisling orbs don’t cost a fortune.
@@fearlessdumb0 I’ll stay tuned :). Love your build
Hey I'm digging the build so far but I've got a gearing question. I can't tell what weapons i should be aiming for at endgame. I understand that self chill needs the trigger weapon but aside from that should i be using two +2 scepters or crafting the sword from another recent video.
Im in middle yellow maps rn and the damage feels a little lacking sometimes. Just using 2 basic +2 weapons.
The BiS weapons are +2 scepters with high spell damage, Hatred effect, and a third mod (crit multi, trap speed, trigger), but they are expensive to craft. The Rapier is not far off in dmg but considerably easier to craft.
@@fearlessdumb0
Ok perfect I didn't wanna waste $ crafting the rapier just to replace it thanks!
I know this would probably be hardly exciting considering your journey with the build. But would be really cool to hear out your ideas for gearing and overall in SSF realm, especially for casual gamers.
How did you craft your +4 amulet? Following your advice I fixed my build and swim in currency from farming ubers now, thinking on min-maxing. :)
Sure! Happy to share how to craft it. Process is:
1) buy an uninfluenced Focused Amulet (no influence is important)
2) chaos spam until +1 all. Roughly 850 chaos to hit it
3) yolo annul off the other two mods. If you brick, reroll +1
4) bench prefix cannot change
5) scour to make it magic
6) imprint
7) regal+yolo annul. If you rip all gems, go back to 6.
8) bench Cannot Roll Attack
9) add/rem phys for 50/50 to get +4 gems. If you rip, go back to 6
10) bench Prefix Cannot Change
11) reforge Crit. It’s a 1/12 to hit T1 crit multi, and a 50/50 to hit any tier of crit multi. Keep whatever is acceptable to you.
12) if you want to try for higher Crit, yolo annul and pray to go again or rip and go back to imprint.
I missed a decent roll of crit multi 4x now so I’ve settled until I farm more currency. Right now I’ve been soloing to 100 with a giga tanky Valdo farmer version so it will have to wait a bit.
@fearlessdumb0 Is normal explosion trap gem (21/20) still better single target dps even Shrapnel version (20/20) says its like 50% more damage in PoB?
Shrapnel in PoB is bugged. The overlaps chance is wrong, it claims you hit with all explosions (100% overlap chance) which is obviously incorrect.
Normal explosive trap is better single target best I can tell.
@@fearlessdumb0 I see, thanks
Do I have to look for a very specific value for Lethal Pride to get the same effects on notables or is it there just for the extra strength and I can buy one with a random value on it?
You can buy a random one, but very good ones can be had for cheap. Check the timeless jewel locator tool in PoB to search. Good mods are Double Damage, Phys as extra Fire, Physical Dmg, Max Life, Reduced Crit Dmg, etc
Got it, thanks for the tip, I didn't know about the timeless jewel search in pob, will try that out.

Where can i get Updates on the MF Journey? Sounds really interesting, u catched me there!
You can follow my profile, though I’ve not swapped out yet as I still don’t have a 21/20 shrapnel. I’ll also post a video about it once I have some results to report.
do you think HH might be a thing for it?
Yea it's something I will be trying out. Hard to let go of MB though, I'd need to rework things to get mana to fit.
hi Dumb0, been following your build this league and having a blast, I have just transitioned into self-chill and however I do occasionally get frozen, how do you deal with freeze-immune in this setup? (I already took 50% reduced effect of chill on Pantheon so rip that option)
You can bench Cannot Be Frozen on a rare pair of boots
ty for the fast reply. IMO Ralakesh is way too OP to give up for, mean time I'll use a lowest freeze/chill immune on a life flask, maybe I'll swap to a rare pair of boots later sometimes when I craft a decent one@@fearlessdumb0
Yea, ralakesh is amazing. You could get freeze immunity from jewels too? @@MrKKGates
after doing an extensive search on craftofexile, I don't think there is one for jewels, only corrupted blood immunity. Thanks for the suggestion tho, I'll just stick with flasks for now@@fearlessdumb0
Abyss jewels can roll up to 50% freeze avoidance
Hello! Do you have a discord or something? I am want to understand how to get more dmg on my build but im clueless atm xdd
Yo fearless. How do you go about crafting your +2/+2 amulet? It’s going for over 300divs on trade…
Can it be done deterministically?
Yes, I'm making a crafting video for it. I've been recording it the last couple days on and off.
Recipe is:
(1) Chaos Spam until +1 all on an UNINFLUENCED base
(2) Annul down to +1 all, if you rip, go back to 1
(3) Once you have +1 all isolated, Prefix Cannot Change and scour to make it magic
(4) Imprint
(5) Regal + yolo annul. You have to get +1 all isolated on a rare base. If you rip, go to 4
(6) Bench Cannot Roll Attack
(7) Add/Rem Physical for +2/+2 gems
(8) Three options for finishing:
(a) Bench Trap Throwing Speed and call it good
(b) Prefix Cannot Change + reforge crit for 50/50 to land some tier of crit chance. If you brick, yolo annul and back to 4 if you fail
(c) Prefix Cannot Change + aisling for 17% chance at Trap Throwing Speed. If you brick, yolo annul then back to 4 if you fail
I was using an (a) for a while, but as part of the crafting video I yolo'd for (c) so I could demonstrate part of it and actually hit Trap Throwing Speed on my only planned attempt.
Expected cost to get to an (a) amulet is something like base + 30div, depending on materials costs. It is 4 imprints on average.
@@fearlessdumb0 Thanks! For a moment, I was like 30d ain't bad, then I realized the base is 100div+...
Yea base is nuts right now. I think 190 last I checked for uninfluenced. I got mine a long while back at the low, low price of 80, lol.
Hey, i tried your explosive trap and its a fun to play. Now i crafted 7L helmet and whats the gem swap for mapping?
Just swap out Explosive Trap for the shrapnel one. The clear is fantastic. If that’s not enough, swap Conc Effect for Inc AoE and you’ll be off screening stuff
can sharpnel be play in charge stacker uniques? (ralakesh power charge kit), I wanna play this build with more unique like dialla, dragonfang, void battery.
Of course. You can definitely do that.
@@fearlessdumb0 I'm thinking about dialla and tinkerskin which will be better.
It depends. You'll be able to find a corrupted +2 Tinkerskin without too much effort, but a +2 corrupted Diallas will cost a fortune. An uncorrupted Diallas is probably cost wise about the same as a +2 Tinkerskin.
Personally I think the best chest is either a Restless Ward (+Ralakesh) or a Kintsugi for defenses if you aren't going self-chill with void battery.
Tinkerskin is ok but the sustain from it is pretty mediocre compared to Restless Ward with Endurance Charges and the CDR doesn't do anything for us. Its a source for phasing, I guess, but I run a Quartz flask so YMMV@@LawiId
@@fearlessdumb0 thanks a lot!
I've done another trickster which I'm not quite happy with. Do you think I can respecc to this and make it my only build for the league for completing all challenges?
Sure, I do 40/40 with this build the last five leagues.
Question on the free aura tech. Does the process go like this;
1. 4L Raise spectre, haste, zealotry, guardian's blessing.
2. Cast raise spectre, cast zealotry
3. raise next spectre, cast haste
Then the both degen at staggered rates so the blessings can both go on and I never need to cast again?
The order is
1) 4L raise Spectre, Guardians Blessing, Zealotry, Haste
2) Cast Raise Spectre twice
3) Cast Zealotry. Wait a few seconds, cast Haste
At that point it will stagger their health and the degen will offset. You are still bound by the 1 aura limit of Guardians Blessing and can only have one active.
@@fearlessdumb0 First, let me say thank you for the quick response I love this build. Second, maybe I'm confused or doing it wrong I know staggering the cast will replace the first aura with the second but they both die at the same and when they respawn I have neither of the auras. Am I misunderstanding? Is the benefit not having to recast the minions but still recasting the auras? I was under the impression this saved on recasting auras
This saves on recasting auras if you are able to stagger the two minions health. The easiest way to stagger their health is to switch auras right when one dies. Watch the ZiggyD video in the description, he probably does a better job explaining. @@DamagePlanX
I'm using Replica Dragonflight as my amulet right now, is it better to use ashes of the stars like you or a +2 rare amulet?
It depends on your setup. In mine, Ashes is best because I’m already at a level 30 gem and it gives me 50% quality. The BiS amulet would be a Focused Amulet with +4 gems and 88 crit multi.
Why would we not want to utilize Awakened Elemental Focus Support over the crit dmg? From POB is gives us a decent boost in DPS over that? just asking? Also, wondering if someone can give me advice on the best thing to adjust so I can farm ubers? I feel like I'm close but I tried to do uber searing and got him to 50% then couldn't finish him off as he one shot me. Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thanks for the guide, it has helped me a ton though!
You can’t apply elemental ailments with Elemental Focus, or you are right it would be really good.
does guardian's blessing need to be max? love your build so far, one of my favorites also. Just need to get my hands on a MB now, since i never own it b4
No it can be whatever level you like. The higher it is the shorter the lifespan of the summon but higher effect of the aura
Why is shrapnel doing more damage in PoB? It shows as 100% overlap chance but even if I compare it to all explosions hitting it's still 11m vs 8.5m
Overlaps is incorrect in PoB for Shrapnel, if you do the actual math it’s closer to like 38-45% depending on your AoE breakpoints.
The base phys hit is 25% or so higher but you won’t realistically be able to get 100% overlaps unless you are cheesing it by throwing in a hallway (Crimson Temple, for example) or throwing against a wall.
Hey mate, do you think this build is cappable to do ultimatum t16 with the trialmaster kill? Im doing the challanges right now and my bv get blasted cause of melee range lol
Thanks for the videos! Will try explosive trap sooner or later in this league too because of your videos :)
I've done a ton of 10+ T16 ultimatums. Still haven't found the trialmaster, but I've killed him many times in previous leagues, so there's that. This challenge is frustrating, mostly because the loot is garbage.
@@fearlessdumb0 ok I see thanks! :)
Awesome update, im about to turn my build into what you have here. I have never done a bossing build before, always a mapper so its a bit of a new world to me. What is the best way to make currency bossing? Would be nice to see your methods and best way (from start to finish) to make money bossing - all the way from posting on TFT (i assume) to boss killing to charging/collecting fees, etc. Thanks for the content!
The easiest way to make money this league is run Twisted / Formed laps. It’s crazy currency because Progenesis is so expensive. Elder frags sell for 0.6-7d/set and Writs are 1.6d. You can run a Twisted lap in about 6 minutes if you horizon maps to favorable layouts, 4ish for Formed.
I did a guide on running Twisted a few leagues ago and the idea is still the same if you are looking for a how-to.

What chaos res do I need for self-chill to work properly? Currently got 66%. Is it too much?
66% should be fine. You just need to make sure you aren’t out hitting your regen that’s the only consideration. I think anything 60% or higher should be reasonable.
Just wanting to make sure ,temple mod gloves still work even though secrets of suffering says hits can not chill enemies?
Yes, skitterbots will chill for you
nice! how do you craft the Alternating Sceptre? is it alt aug spam?
Look in description of 3.23 build guide
My chill is falling off before my forbidden rite is ready (4s cooldown) POB says I have 200% chill duration so not sure why this is happening as there seems to be a small delay (about 0.5 a second) before being chilled again
Do you have reduced ailment duration somewhere? The charm that removed ailments? Do you have Lethe Shade on tree?
Solved Arakaali pantheon, "Debuffs on you expire 20% faster"
What you would prioritize for upgrade? Forbidden jewels or self-chill gear (sceptre, rings and belt)
FF jewels are probably what I would get first. Self-chill is going to require Adorned + some reduced mana cost jewels OR a Mageblood.
Do i have to buy enlighten to have enough damage to phase bosses. It's so expensive this league
I only have an enlighten 3 in this video
@@fearlessdumb0 can you tell me your gear progress? right now my progress is somewhere near your league start guide would u recommend straight go forward to self chill without mageblood
I will have about 50div as soon as I sell all my flasks to spend and my goal is to farm Uber shaper
do u require mageblood to go self chill as u said in previous video?
No, you can also use a reasonably well rolled Adorned and stack 3x reduced mana cost jewels. You just need enough to offset the loss of the ring elreon benchcraft. I should have said that in the video, apologies.
hi, ive gone through your POB from the comprehensive guide and i cant seem to understand how your explosive traps base crit chance is 4.57 + 6.00 --- with that you only need a little over 800% increased crit chance to be capped. i have almost 1100 % increased crit chance (and still not capped) because i cant for the life of me figure out how you have raised your base crit by so much (im aware increased crit supp adds 2% to the base crit and i am alrerady running that) please help :)
Which PoB are you looking at?

@@kuatoroespada did you use alternating sceptre? brittle can raise crit chance up to maybe 18%
@@chunny7924 yes sir I did. My crit chance is like 93% because my total added crit chance from tree items and flasks is 1100% but to get 100% something has to raise the base crit chance of your spell because all crit chance modifiers are multiplied onto the base. The only way to do this on trickster apart from increased crit support is to get a watcher's jewel which is expensive AF.
@@kuatoroespada You can get base crit also with charms (while at max power charges, while using ralakesh boots). Im crit chance capped (over 2.81% or 21% inc) without zealotry. Total inc. 864% and 6 + 4.6 base.
are you finding success with a magic find variant? and is there a pob to reference for it? great guide btw, had an awesome league start as a result
MF was fun. Not my favorite play style. I was doing 8mod T16 with deli+beyond and full juice with a 60m dps shrapnel trapper. Was working pretty well, I would switch between goldwyrms to get 78% IIQ but I found the Ralakesh boots to be so much QoL.

Hi bro. Disclaimer My English is not good but i have some questions. How many cost this build mageblood setup without price mb. And what a difference two scepter or rapier + scepter ? ❤
A very well rolled sceptre is a bit more damage than a very well rolled rapier but not by a ton. My rapier didn’t have crit multi because I went very budget when crafting so when I had more currency I went two sceptres. Either is good. My current setup I did not pay more than 10div for anything in the build other than MB but I bought things like FF jewels week one when they were 7 and 3 Div. I think they were 25d for the pair last I checked, so I’m not sure what a more current price would be. My best guess is 80-100div + MB with all rares self-crafted.
I got on Question, how u get freez immun if you use selfchill?
You can use soul of brine king unless you've bricked it by getting the chill upgrade, or you could use rare boots (instead of ralakesh unique) with cannot be frozen cradt

I haven't specifically spammed 80% deli with Shrapnel yet, but I've done 100% deli many times with the normal trap. It will depend on your investment level as to how comfortable it is.

How do i make this build TANKIER. Bleed and hard physical hits oneshots me at 3K life and 1.2 shields.
Can you share PoB?
Shrapnel vs normal explosive trap on bosses -> which one is better and why?
Shrapnel in an open field with no obstacles will be slightly less single target than the normal gem. In areas where you can throw against a wall (Uber Maven, Invitations, etc.) the Shrapnel gem is more damage because the base phys hit is about 25% higher and you can force additional overlaps by contracting the space the gem can spawn extra waves.
So I guess the answer is, it depends :)
I've been using Shrapnel full time for a couple weeks and I love it.
What do you think of the idea of stacking abyss jewels and using the Lightpoacher helmet with explosive trap? Is it a bait? My idea so far is to stack abyss jewels to the moon and have them all magic and corrupted for The Adorned to boost. Using Shroud of the Lightless to also get ele pen. And trying to run as a trickster for frenzy charge stacking, Ralakesh boots, Replica Badge of the Brotherhood, and the Arn's belt for Brutal charges for triple damage chance.
Edit* forgot to add using The Squire since it's so inexpensive this league, and was the main inspiration for this fever dream of an idea XD
Hmm, it doesn’t sound like bait. I’ve not really considered it fully but it seems like it should work fine. What would you link with Squire? Maybe make a 5L weapon just by awakening something with zinc Crit Dmg support and throw on the Squire to make it 7L / 8L? Seems like a really good idea…
@@fearlessdumb0 Yeah, it sounds kinda sweet to try putting together. The weapon sounds like it's an *expensive* craft though. Also, idk if it was clear, but I was thinking of keeping the spirit charges by making the Lightpoacher's ability not proc with either archmage support into the helm, or lifetap + CI. What jewel stats would you look for? Crit and crit multi?
I guess the only thing is how much damage and survivability is possible with this mish-mash? I highly doubt it'll be the best way to make the build, but more like a fun project that can still do most of the game.
Is there a discord available? I started this build and need abit of help from any pros that can help me push for insta phasing ubers. New to bossing but have followed as closely as possible.
The absolute most important thing is getting high evasion on the chest and getting secrets of suffering for crit chance. After that it's all extra. I don't even have secrets yet and I cleared the atlas with this build

hey man, i tried your explosive trap and its a fun to play. Just 1 question: when it's worth to play the 8-link helmet? Or is it not needed this patch?
It’s way overkill, but you can do it if you want. I am still on a 6L and deleting all the Uber bosses. I’ve done 7L helmets and 8L helmets in previous leagues because I wanted to minmax, I just haven’t this league. It’s fun to do, I might still do it this league but I’m working on MF trapping at the moment.
@@fearlessdumb0 is there a way to share my pob just to get some checkpoints in my head?
Sure, drop your PoB (the last bits of the url) here and I can look for you

Isn't that my PoB? Or it looks a lot like it if it isn't :)@@wolfsenpai6876
I think that the explosive trap of magnitude is begging for the Mine-Trap combo tech due to the 30% less throwing speed that gets bypassed by mines. Swift assembly double dips, and you just throw more for less damage. Considered doing it but haven’t amassed the currency to make the swap (and have a couple things to try first)
The mines still have to “throw” the trap though, you still pay the time cost for it. Swift Assembly is also kind of a pain because of the random throw pattern. I can go revisit it, but when I tried it earlier it felt worse than just stacking throw speed
It's a damn fun build and i have no problem taking out most of the end game bosses...but there is one problem. Bleed and physical one-shots and life dot damage in general, how the heck do i get tankier.
I sit at about 100 million DPS 3K HP and about 1200 shield.
What spectre do you use in MF version?
Same Spectres. I’m using Imperfect Dark Marionettes, this time with Zealotry and Vitality
what is the reason for use forbidden rite?
For self-chill you need to hit yourself
Did you end up testing the mf set-up more? How did it go?
Still looking for secrets in SSF lol. Sirgog suggested maybe I try and get leadership price from o'eternal. Still cleared Atlas. Haven't tried to do any Pinnacle bosses
Omg I’m so sorry. This used to be very manageable to heist for pre 3.23
@@fearlessdumb0 lol, that's SSF for ya. All part of the fun for me. I'm an alt-aholic as well so I've leveled like 7 characters already lol. This build is my main project this league. It's been great even though I haven't found secrets. With the shrapnel gem it's a great mapper
I’ve come to love the Shrapnel gem. My MF trapper has almost 100m dps and 93 IIQ and can clear maps around as fast as mirror tier HH bow builds. Shrapnel is the best new addition this league, I love it
Hi, what pantheons do you use?
It depends, I change it depending on needs.
I've beening trying to get passed t8s with this build. 83 percent to evad. All res over capped. Chaos res at 23. I don't see how I ain't got the damage. Replica dragonfang, 1 scpeters both +1 phsyic with 100 spell crit chance. Working on +2 for both. Still no giga Chad damage.
Anyone know recommended pantheons?
Flexbile. Use whatever you like. If you want to go selfchill in the endgame, DONT complete the reduced effect of chill or you will be sad later. With Ralakesh I use the Brine King for freeze (otherwise I'd have Rin benched freeze immunity on boots and go for more ele dmg reduction).
Other pantheon is free to use whatever makes most sense for your setup.
You can swap resistance again rather then divine it. its cheaper
That’s what I say in the video
@fearlessdumb0 Can you please have a look at my POB? I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. Invested heavily, got mageblood, self-chill and still can't do uber shaper consistently (his bullet-hell oneshots, even with sefl-chill). Not to mention uber maven who is impossible. Damage is not there to instaphase. Maybe I'm throwing incorrectly, though I preload with all traps and ele weakness. POBbin: ippodlIuXI8z
Sure I’ll take a look for you a bit later when I’m online
You've got a very glass cannon setup currently, your max phys his is only 6k. You have endurance charges ticked on your PoB but I don't see a source for them? So your ehp is even lower than what you currently have.
If you want to be able to tank shaper ball hell:
1) You at minimum will want a guard skill. If you don't add Endurance charges, use the highest Steelskin your str will support with 20% quality for the reduced CDR. I use mine on left-click
2) Endurance Charges are awesome. You can get them from charms (end charge on hit), Ralakesh boots, or Enduring Composure. The PDR they provide feels very good when mapping / uber bossing
3) I'd change your chest. It doesn't cost must to craft a very high eva/ES Sadist Garb instead of a pure evasion chest. Right now your primary defensive layer is ES and your pool is ~1200. With a good Sadist Garb you can get 1800-1900 ES and something like 20% more EHP, and it will also synergize better with Ghost Dance. Buy a fractured hybrid T1 eva/ES Sadist Garb and loathing essence until some suffix you want (I usually look for Life Regen). Lock suffix and reforge Chaos to get some tier of chaos res, then eldritch chaos + eldritch exalt until you get some decent roll of %Inc eva/ES and bench the other one you didn't get.
That should be enough to be able to sit in shaper ball hell.
@@fearlessdumb0 thank you so much for taking the time to give thorough advice. back to farming then to get all the mats :)
@@fearlessdumb0 omg, I bought ralakesh and this is already much better, got uber shaper easily with many portals left
Awesome! Glad to hear@@skabans
hey was wondering how will the mb help my mana ? i got a mb and a impossible scape with necromantic agies keystone and got the dreamer and 2 other mana notables but still got roughly 88 regen with clarity on so id like to know how a mb helps with mana i also got a 120% adorned but idk if i should go for mana gems or just focus on dmg since mine is not looking good rn
Do you have a flask with 25% Inc effect / 60-70% Inc effect enchant and the 25% reduced mana cost of skills on it? It’s a benchcraft you can put on a flask, it should solve all mana problems almost immediately.
@@fearlessdumb0 yeah one of my friends told me i should run that and just did it completely fixes the mana with dreamer but now im like wondering is there a way to get more dmg ? because im running pretty much the same gear as your week 2 update pob but in lacking a lot of damage like i cant even clear sanctum properly i even dropped lightning warp and the guardians blessing setup for a lvl 76 specter setup with pain artist hydra and spirit of fortune for high level auras but still dont deal that much damage and a nother problem im not running ambush and assassinate instead running 2 other magic jewels sitting at 100% crit chance and 760% ish crit multi im still running an impossible scape and using high voltage on amulet and im running 1more magic jewels instead of lethal pride should i drop that extra magic jewels for lethal pride ? i have no attribute problems btw because of the #%increased attributes corrupt implicit on both rings so thought lethal pride might be useless
Hi .. i still dying cause the physical damage of enemies :/
You can add more phys mitigation. Run Determination instead of heralds. Bench phys taken as ele on your chest/helm. Run a granite. Run a chest with phys mitigation build in like dopplegangers guise. There are lots of ways to fix that for whatever your setup is.
Got a pob for the MF build?
This is what I ran MFing around week two. I kept switching between Ralakesh / Goldwyrms for 58 -> 78% IIQ and I think I decided that the extra IIQ wasn't worth it for the QoL that Ralakesh provided. My gear now is considerably better, but this was still enough damage to do juiced 8mod T16s with deli+beyond.

@@fearlessdumb0 are you using the new Shapenel gem? I wonder if Penance brand can do more with bare-bones 6L vs explosive trap.
Yea I'm using Shrapnel. Not sure vs Penance but from what I've seen its pretty busted. @@Eqnotalent
@@fearlessdumb0 just tried the Penance brand. Clear was just meh. Now I might try explosive trap. Can you get enough AOE that the shrapnel can overlap? Can it scale a lot of dmg without gear and mainly just the tree plus ascendency?
which pantheon are you using? or just up to me in general?
Up to you
do you die alot?
No, very rarely. I’m doing 99% bossing content and I only die if I’m being really lazy. I can sit in the middle of shaper ball hell and be fine and that’s probably the most dangerous thing I regularly interact with. Nothing else survives the first trap set anyway, I instaphase or delete everything.
Im having trouble with damage in this build, and Im not sure why, any chance you can help me out? Here is my POB: -mOWr-9kn6D8 (pobbin)
Probably not until tomorrow, Christmas with the family, but I’ll take a look
Thanks, really appreciate it!@@fearlessdumb0
Probably the best upgrade available to you is a 7L helmet (cost is ~25-30d to self craft) and a nice Sadist Garb with Hatred/Aura effect implicits. After that, I'd say levels because you are level 95. An hour or two in a 5way would be another medium cluster which is something like 12% more dps. @@samstring7833
Also, I'm surprised you are having dmg problems. It looks like you are 120m+ dps. Aren't you phasing Ubers in a second or two? If you aren't I'd double check that you are preloading dmg effectively (tapping Ele Weakness once before they phase in for the 40% additional phys as extra, dropping a bear trap, hitting max traps) @@samstring7833
I'm doing shaper fairly quick, but stuff like exarch and maven I seem to be struggling, it might just be a skillissue/ lack of experience, but I'm not sure, I tend to put down a bear trap and press ele weak, but do I ele weak before throwing traps?
