Looking forward to see the changes to your new Trapper role in, from past errors etc and the new DoT changes :). In regards to the DoT Changes, as Trappers has anything changed majorly for us - for example, should we be looking at Increased Burning Damage on Fire Trap?

One question, toward the end of your last trapper you were looking at using Artic Armour and CoDT but can't see it in the latest update of links used - have you decided to sway away from it?

Currently following your Gems/Links but want to start leveling ones you intend to switch to 'end game' :). With regards to your Passives, are you still following your 'Final Build' linked in OP or decided on changes/different paths?

Regards,
Stab

Hi Pohx,
Is the Clever Construction node really needed for a nemesis trap build? I'm thinking you could just freeze (with cold snap) the problematic mobs that kill your traps, and then destroy them with traps (while frozen).


I plan making a similar build, but i can't decide on some things. I would be grateful if you (or someone else) could take a look: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/650242/page/1/#p5820062

Thanks!

Clever construction is Absolutely 100% Required Your trap can die from so many things in this game, Aoe's Leap slam, Leapers, freezing pulse, any projectiles, lightning attacks, storm herald etc. If they kill your trap before it freezes there is no point to your freeze, you also cant freeze cyclone mobs before they hit your traps unless you proliferate it. You also won't be able to fight storm heralds effectively.

Couldn't really gather anything from my BSOD Death Sadly :(

As for the full build it's going to change with the last 15 Points depending on your gear/role for party play, literally everyones full build will be different depending on what they end up using

I'm not using CWDT anymore, using Smoke mine + Artic Armor

just take a look at what i'm currently using on my links and you'll see what to level up, as for my weapon swap it's going to be empower/enhance / skill gem doubles for 20% qual reciple

I meant using Cold Snap as a skill, with prolif and aoe, not on a trap. Sorry for not being clear enough.

And also, what do you think of pure crit trapper build? Is it viable?

Thanks for the reply Pohx :).

Yeah I'm currently 82 and getting along towards those 'last 15 points' - currently finishing High Explosives and tossing up what to do next. Will be interesting to see the discussions in here around Lighting Trap and alike.

The reason I asked about Artic Armour was because I couldn't see it in the list and knew you mentioned it a few times - can I assume its the 'filler' used with 'Reduced Mana' in your Helm? You are simply casting it when you get into trouble?

The issue I'm having is trying to determine where/when I should stop leveling Gems such as Clarity/AA - Gems like Enfeeble etc are straight forward, just don't overshoot the stat requirements. But with Clarity and alike, not sure if there is a 'sweet spot' - any guidance before we get to end-game items when we will know our Mana Regen rates?

Lastly, I was just asking about the DoT changes in 1.0.2 with regards to our Traps (mainly Fire Trap). As I understand it, the initial 'explosion' vs the 'burning ground' take different values from our Passive Nodes/Damage increases from items. Have you read/theorycrafted anything that could benefit from saying using a 'Increased Burning Damage' gem or alike?

Hey Pohx. Really like your build. I'm just wondering why you get the physical damage boost in the cruel bandit quest. Does it increase your damage output?

Also, when you are starting out, before you get iron reflexes, should you still be running evasion/es? Or would armor/es be more useful?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this guide!
