[3.24] The Infused Trickster | Build update. High Block. EHP has doubled | Demo video up

Hi Exiles,

I have farmed to reach level 95.

New video, made during the last 5% of levelling :

2 : Going to level 95.

PoB : https://pastebin.com/9Q4uhhmU

I'm using Phantasmal Lightning Tendrils to inflict big shocks + Galvanic Field against bosses.
Farming with either Shock Nova or Crackling Lance. I think they both do a good job.

I have had troubles with my Internet connection for 2 weeks, so I can't play atm.

Good luck and have fun :)

There must not be a lot of differences to level this new version.
Go with the Singularity sceptre up to yellow maps, maybe low tier red (t11-12). No more need of a Secret of Suffering sceptre. Rest of the stuff is the same : a Viridi's veil setup + Skin of the Lords body.
Shield can be Light of Lunaris if you don't find a better rare one.

If you want, I can check your char with a PoB, or if you set your characters to public.
When I played the build in Archnemesis league, I had a hard time beginning the Atlas, to the point where I was considering giving up entirely. After some efforts and investments, things suddenly got really good.

thank you! It's going better already.

Does it have to be a Call to Arms Skin of the Lords?

No, just found a Keystone that does not bother you (e.g. not The Agnostic or CI).
It could be MoM or EB to save one point.

Hi Exiles,

I couldn't play PoE last month because of a bad internet connection. It's better now, but still, I will resume playing regularly in 3.20.
Meanwhile, here is a new video in a cyberpunk style, using Shock Nova channeled with LT :

A Digital Storm

Hope you like it, good luck and have fun :)

Hi Exiles,

here is a new video, featuring some farming with LT + CwC + Crackling Lance or Shock Nova, and a cool fight with a juiced Eradicator : 45% life as extra ES and Possessed.

Be prepared for the...

Eradication

Hope you like it !

I have 2 other videos in preparation before 3.19 ends, with some cyberpunk style. I'm testing Spark, which is a really cool skill to channel !

Good luck and have fun :)

Have you tried going LT-CwC-(Phantasmal)Lightning Warp? That's the idea I almost decided on for 3.20 because I loved playing similar-ish build in 3.19 (but fire themed, Incinerate-CwC-Bodyswap) so much, I got my first 100 while mapping.
Being mobile while channeling stuff feels very fun and LWarp is actually controllable unlike Bodyswap. I want to go for Ralakesh boots too as you don't lose the charges while channeling and warping around in that setup.

In the end though I decided to go for even weirder pick - Stormbind-CwC-LWarp (on Hiero), which I might switch to Tendrils temporarilty or even forever if I will find Stormbind very clunky to use but hopefully I'd be able to make it work.

I've briefly tested Stormbind with this build, replacing LT. It was ok to clear a Blight encounter but the DPS against the map boss was abysmal. The skill is way too clunky to use mechanically IMO. But maybe you'll find a way to make it controllable.

Never thought of Phantasmal L-Warp. I don't know whether 10% less duration is better than 20% inc cast speed.
Anyway LW as well as Bodyswap interrupt your channelling because they have a cast time. On the other hand, Frostblink is instant so you can continue to channel while teleporting. And you don't lose the charges from Ralakesh.

Also : this is funny because I've stumbled upon your character in Poe.ninja a few days ago : https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/MrCinos/Emma_Milfstein
I was making researches for an Incinerate Elementalist and your build helped me work it out. I've retained the idea of using the Cerberus sceptre and Ashes of the Stars.
Here is my PoB :

Ralakesh boots, Polaric Devastation ring, Rise of the Phoenix shield.
No low-life but RF.

Here is a short demo :

Good luck and have fun !

That's indeed funny, small world and all that.

You might be right about Phantasmal LWarp not being worth in the long run, but after thinking about it more the reason I'd still go for Phantasmal LWarp is because I'd have to limit it to level 1 for a while before I solve all my mana/mana regen issues. When I tried non-Phantasmal LWarp lv 1 in a LT/Stormbind-CwC link and without Ashes (still simulating start of the league) it felt too delayed for my liking.

While that's true if you use them on your own in a separate link, it's not the case if you put them in the same 6-link as your channeling skill and (awakened) cast while channeling support. CwC triggers, not casts the spell, so casting time is irrelevant. That's kinda the reason I'm interested in Stormbind/LT-CwC-lightning warp setup in the first place. And why I loved my 3.19 Incinerate-CwC-Bodyswap build.

What I'm talking about in action here:

https://youtu.be/0bLUl_aeBW8

At the top where list of buffs/auras is displayed you can see that I maintain 10 Incinerate stacks without interruptions despite me bodyswapping a few times per second. And ofc I tested it with LWarp and other channeling skills to make sure the channeling isn't interrupted while the character procs the warp or bodyswap. No losing of Ralakesh charges either, bought them for testing on my 3.19 character to make sure it works while I'm warping.

Also when it comes to Stormbind vs bosses, this channel has a lot of nice performances with it (PoBs in video descriptions):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4AcbjhczTY

But ofc it's a different class-ascendancy that's very reliant on Indigon helm and basically built around it so it has probably little in common with a typical way someone usually builds up the DPS for the x channeling spell. I'll be trying both Indigon and no-Indigon versions myself.

Nice, I didn't know the cast time was replaced when you trigger the skill. Very interesting.
Congrats for your video of level 100. That moment at 6'30 when you reach it must be crazy. Now my eyes are bleeding from these fire-splosions ^^
I've never levelled past level 96, that becomes such a chore :D

Thx for the video of the guy Uber Maven with Stormbind. This is just beautiful. I love how he kills everything in one hit. I've also watched his Uber Sirus fight. Damn impressive. This is proof that everything is possible in this game, provided you build around it properly.
(Well, maybe not Chain Hook, though :D )

Hello,

Is this build Can be a League starter ?

Thanks you, i'd like lightning tendril
