1.3 Content
Spoiler
- Big Buff from skill tree with the new elemental nodes
- Changed the tree from 1.2, this time with more life

Hi fellow exiles,
Based on the FIRETRAP skill, This build its based on the burning/dot/proliferate fire damage on the enemies, Its a very powerful build for solo/party, does a lot of damage, and a very high mobility build, since we dont have to stay casting skills, just throwing traps and running around.



Pros
-Fast clear speed (one of the bests)
-High mobility build
-Can do most map mods
-Decent life, armour, since we run artic armour, vitality.
-No problems with any reflect, corrupting blood
-Fun build, bosses, exiles, big packs die almost instantly
-Cheap build
Cons
-Cant do blood magic mods
-Half regen maps its doable, but hurts
-Cant do atziri

-Skill Tree

Carcass Jack + Searing touch
Cloak of Defiance + Searing Touch

Spoiler
110 points

1º: Dont follow ALL the skill tree (remember, this is a guide for helping, so, you have to make decisions depending on your playstyle) you are very gear dependent, so, check ur stats to make sure and pick the right nodes in the tree.
2º: Its a very flexible tree, if you wanna change into something, like EE, ACRO/PHASE, DUAL CURSE, its easier.
3º: If you dont have a Atziris Foible make sure to wear itens with DEX for leveling firetrap.
4º: Cloak users: to wear this chest means you will look a high mana pool and regen, so, dont use VITALITY aura and the mana left will be decent for MOM.
5º: Its a high life based tree, if you never played caster before and dont feel confortable playing without a high armour/evasion, make sure to focus in a defensive gear and playstyle.

At level 80, you want something like this:

99 points

-Bandits

Offense:

Fire trap
4Link: Firetrap - Elemental proliferation - Increased burning damage - chance to ignite
5Link:Firetrap - Elemental proliferation - Increased burning damage - chance to ignite - Concentratred effect
6Link: Firetrap - Elemental proliferation - Increased burning damage - chance to ignite - Concentratred effect - Empower/Fire penetration

Cold snap(this is optional, im using this in my current setup, works great for freezing packs

Defense:

Auras: Clarity - Vitality/Purity of elements or a single purity (UR CHOICE) - Discipline - Reduced mana
Movement: Lightning warp - Reduced duration - Faster casting
Curse: Flammability - Increased area of effect
Artic armour - Empower (if you want)
Cast when damage taken - enduring cry – immortal call – incresed duration

-Useful Gear:
Spoiler

Searing touch

This is the most powerful item for this build, provides a massive fire damage scale all gems level and can be used from level 13

Carcass Jack

The best chest for offense, increases our Area of skill and damage, life and all resists

Cloak of Defiance

for more defensive playstyle, this chest provides a HUGE mana pool, mana regeneration and Mind over matter.
to wear this we have to cut off vitality aura
Atziri's Foible

The best possible amulet for this build, reduces the global stats needed for wearing itens and gems, provides a HUGE mana regeneration and extra mana

Doryani's catalyst

for the 1 hand + shield version of this build, im making some variations, this sceptre its the most powerful 1 hand for this build, provides a lot of elemental damage and a free lv20 ele prolif for cold snap setup

Boots: Armour/Energy Shield with life, resists, movement speed
Gloves: Armour with life, resists, stats
Helmet: Armour/Energy shield with life, mana, resists
Rings and Belt: Life, resists, mana regen, attributes

-Merciless docks run

-The player "Vodkawater" made a video in a 69 promenade map with burning ground - nemesis mobs, playing on rampage league.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I91VqgPKg6k
he forgot to turn the arctic armour, anyway, this video show the power of only one fire trap can be strong and kill an entire screen almost instantly.

-The player "forzazx6" made a AMAZING VIDEO using this build playing rampage league 1 shotting endgame bosses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc2mpOlYjQQ
it also presents an interesting variation, holding a saffels in the second hand, so, when he throw a trap, switch for saffels and get extra elemental resists, i loved this ideia, and he has a variation for the build using a alphas.


Thats all, hope you like, any suggestions and questions pls let me know!

why do we need "chance to ignite" if firetrap ignites everything anyway?
What kind of leveling gear do you use before getting a Searing Touch? Wand for spell damage or Scepter for elemental damage? I'm gonna try it in the new Rampage league. Thanks.

we use chance to ignite to make a combo for prolif.

Does spell damage affect fire trap?

I've been dual wielding self-crafted crystal scepters in Rampage.



EDIT: Apparently spell damage does increase trap damage.
