                                               -!- How The Build Came To Be -!-
                                           Explanation on how the build functions.

  By accident I found out that even though the Pyre, Sapphire Ring is able to convert the initial hit of the Vortex which is cold into fire damage the after effect cannot be converted from fire into cold damage. ( I confirmed this is intentional and not a bug. )

  After that incident being found out I though about the passive node Elemental Equilibrium. After which I did some research on what can and can't trigger elemental equilibrium to activate on an enemy. I did some testing I found out that DoT(Damage Over Time) effects and chaos damage do not trigger the elemental equilibrium from activating. Which is perfect for the DoT on Vortex.

  All that is missing is to convert the initial fire damage into chaos damage because then every time a trap would trigger on that same enemy it would do 25% less damage because it gained 25% fire resist from elemental equilibrium. So I had to make use of equipping two legacy The Consuming Dark, Fiend Daggers and one Infernal Mantle, Widowsilk Robe which would bring me up to 100% Fire to Chaos Conversion and since the after effect of Vortex is still cold damage that does not get converted to chaos damage.

  Sadly now with the initial hit being converted to chaos damage EE cannot be activated by the traps anymore UNLESS I use Herald of Thunder which adds lightning damage to my initial hit. So with that aura, EE can activate off of it. Effectively lowering the enemies cold and fire resistances by 50%.


                                                   -!- Mandatory Uniques -!-

- 2x The Consuming Dark, Fiend Daggers [Legacy Variant]
They have to be legacy otherwise you would be at only 75% chaos conversion.
- 1x Infernal Mantle, Widowsilk Robe
- 1x Pyre, Sapphire Ring

I always take the blind nodes in the saboteur ascendancy first because it gives a good amount of surviablity to the char since Trappers have no leech.

I am blind. Where is skill tree?

Missing skill tree and missing equipment with gems

That is true but my reasoning is to rush for chain reaction which IS A HUGE potential damage increase. That is unless you are willing to spend 10 refunds just to respec those 2 ascendancy points for once you finish cruel lab.
