[Talisman] MoM/EB/ZO Bladefall/Firestorm Trapper HC ~WIP~

I came up with something like this, but for softocre league:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwYAsNii2cgU9W9qjBa_D6u00SaVJIvIDGHiwzp2glVLieC1SOZY62OTHxEvNj1JEysKnapd8myMDkhirBGWtzDuFbTFBx7oWhQJt3Xb55UuJogTbWwIcFHw1fGKdm-P-klRfrDsGFxA2FRkqsHFh8ubhohCp5tqNoIedZ4UsNsLzxVMLREPrJg6WPfXVcZSr5uhg9utSrtNj0YYagQHZ_zdX6cIeC9Ms52u6-585ZeVGmwy0ZrghTJYB1JT98FFR0WdPV-X9MBmU1JtGTwFBLMI9O98ogDAVPAfvOpqQ2jy

It has less life and more free skills to put on somewhere else. We can take more hp/mana/Jewels, depending what we need :D
Also Im using other links and Caracass Jack as armour:
6l. Contagion-Trap-Conc.Effect-Controled Destruction-Rapid Decay-Void Manipulation
4l. Temp.Chains-Vulnerability-Enfeeble-Blasphemy
4l.Essence Drain-Trap-Multiple Traps-Controlled Destruction
3l.Wither-Spell Echo-Faster Casting

For another slot gems we can use some movement skills like Lighting Warp and also Frost Armour.
Also we can drop 1 curse and run with 50% mana reservation aura like Haste or Grace. If we spend some points for mana reserve nodes, we can run 3 auras+ Discipline wchich grants us even more survi and mana :D
To summ up we end up with more points to spend whenever we like and have more diversity :D

To kill packs we will be throwing Essence Drain Trap, then Casting Wither and Throwing Contagion. Wither May not be needed on packs(idk how good dmg output will be) but its definitely good for bosses.

Nice Uniqs: Caracass Jack and Doedre's Damming (if you want 3 curses).
Please rate and comment what i can change here :D

Are you planning on using Deerstalker Boots?

If so, what would be the link setup (taking into account your Contagion setup is for Chest)

_

By the way, I loved the Whirling Blade skill from your Block Incinerate build, are you going to use dagger with spelldmg + spelldmg/mana + dmg overtime mod? or do you have another idea?

In addition, are you going to use Abyssal Cry or Poison new support gem?

Thanks for the build!

Thumbs up to the OP, definitely gonna follow this. possible first build in Talisman. Cheers M8

what is the benefit in using Contagion as a trap and not self-casting it?

What escape skill and warcry skill should we use?

Several, in my opinion there is no reason to self cast this spell, lets see, off the top of my head:

1. Access to 2 additional damage multipliers, "trap" and "trap and mine damage".
2. Access to an additional 142% Increased damage from the tree.
3. Completely ignore cast speed on support gems and the tree, look at the gems in the announcement, they have a pretty hefty cast time, which means it will be clunky to self cast compared to just trapping them.

A better question would be, what is the point of self casting them? Look at the tree, the pathing is perfectly efficient for this type of build, I don't go out of my way to pick up any of the important Trap nodes.

The playstyle is perfect for a trapper too, you throw one trap, you clear a pack, you move to the next, very similar to the old Fire Trap Prolif builds except you don't need Prolif gem.

At this point I don't see a single benefit from self casting Contagion over trapping it, they have way too much synergy together to be ignored, both in playstyle, support gems and the skill tree.

My idea is getting a dagger with high attack speed and high spell damage and whirl around with the occasional flame dash to go over obstacles.

High spell damage is the only thing we need so, I don't see the benefit of using a wand, sure you lose the ~15% spell damage from a wand implicit, but I don't think its a big deal compared to being able of using whirling blades - fortify, is just too good and it didnt get changed/nerfed in any way so...

When it comes to warcry, I think enduring cry for extra ES regen and endurance charges.

Hi,

a very nice build. Very good for a therycraftingnoob like me. I will go for it with my 1st character in the new leaques too. Do you planning a levelinguide for it later? That would help alot. Or can you just say what nodes we should fokus 1st? And when we start with the MoM/EB/ZO combo?

Thx for helping me out man!

I'm still thinking about how I will level it, i'll post something about it when I decide, but it will most likely involve fire trap/firestorm combo, taking the shadow elemental nodes first instead of the chaos ones and respeccing later, maybe using firestorm traps and lightning trap, rushing clever construction and high explosives for the penetration, then saboteur and all the good trap nodes to scale the damage while leveling, i think it should be pretty smooth leveling.

Fire nova mine received a pretty nice buff, and back in beta it was REALLY fun to level with, so i'll probably try that out too.

I think contagion/essence drain are going to be very weak early on.
