This is the plan so far, should I get more life? And how important is AoE for Shock Nova? Arc itself doesn't need AoE so I could save a few points there but Shock Nova does need it. Should I use both Arc and Shock Nova traps or focus on only one of them? Is Elemental Overload worth getting, or is it bad since it weakens my chance to Shock from damage? I figure I don't need much Elemental/Lightning nodes since I can scale on Trap itself.
Most likely I won't be getting any 6-links anytime soon so what would be the best supports considering a 5-link(could start with a Deer Stalker for a pseudo 5-link)?
Arc + Traps + Cluster Traps + Trap Mine Damage + Lightning Penetration? + ???
Shock Nova + Traps + Cluster Traps + Trap Mine Damage + Concentrated Effect? + ???
For Arc I probably don't want to use Controlled Destruction nor Elemental Focus as it would reduce my ability to Shock. This actually makes it harder for me to scale Arc compared to Shock Nova which can use Concentrated Effect.
I should be able to cover the whole packs with Shock Nova even with Concentrated Effect, especially if I do decide to pursue AoE nodes in the tree, I see some near Templar but unsure if it is worth traversing there for them as they do not scale Arc.
The more I type the more I lean towards using only one of the spells, and more towards Shock Nova for ease of use. Skills that aren't innate traps seem to have a really slow cooldown for traps and if they don't clear each pack of mobs with one use of trap then I will end up in a situation where my traps won't be ready for the next pack. Shock Nova seems much more consistent in clearing. But at the same time I will be playing with friends, Ice Trap and Firestorm Trap should have good AoE, don't know much about Bladefall to say anything about that.
Our group consists of:
Occultist, Bladefall Poison Trapper
Saboteur, Ice Trap + Bomb Trapper
Saboteur?, Firestorm Trapper
Me, Saboteur, Arc / Shock Nova Trapper
Do you guys think we need more AoE or Single-target?
