[3.1] TRICKSTER Scorching Ray + Righteous Fire MoM Boss farmer 1.8mil trash DPS

I'm thinking about using this build as abyss league starter, leveling till 65 only with scoarching ray and then adding RF.
I just hope that getting decent gear isn't as hard as you say and that I'll get enough currency while mapping with this build.

Why is this regarded as a bad build for starting, while a nearly identical build on inquisitor is said to be a good cheap starter build?

Cause I don't want to lie to people. It's hard to balance out your life and mana regen if you have no currency.

I enjoyed this build until merciless lab where I get nearly one-shoted by Izaro everytime.
I even run a Enfeeble curse aura but it doesn't really help.

That means you're doing something wrong. Most of the 100ex I made in Harbinger I made by farming uber lab. Merciless lab should be a joke.

Guess I´ll give your build a try now that I´ve got a whole new league to farm :P Fun that the build got a bit popular mate :)

Haha, thanks, man! :D I think I won't be playing, at least not at the start, too much work. But GL to you and magik!

If none of the items and skills/nodes/ascendency of this build are nerfed in the next league, would it be a good build to start the league? my plan is to start with this build and just follow it, even if it takes a week to get started with RF effectively, I read that you said it would be hard to use, but how hard is it? Thx

Tbh I just refunded my passive tree in 85lvl Trickster and I can run it with trash gear (I don't even have proper flasks, just a sulphur one), all you need is rise of the pheonix, purity of fire and stone golem. I still wouldn't take RF on harder maps until I have better gear, but just for farming it's simply working very well. You can check out my trickster but items are totally messed up, passive tree a bit too.

It's definitely very good starting build because running scorching ray trickster is extremally cheap and very effective - it's probably one of the best league starters. You don't even need RF because dps from scorching ray is more than enough and it's still very fast, RF can simply be an upgrade for future.

Holy, that's exactly my plan, start with just scorching ray trickster and then improve using the RF, your trickster is a very good base of what I had in mind, Tabula Rasa, Doryanis, RotF and some rare equipment

Yeah, just take scorching ray in act 1, then clarity and arctic armour, orb of storms with arcane surge and shield charge with faster attacks, then move to elemental equilibrum as soon as you finish taking passives in your shadow area. Trigger it with orb of storms and you will melt everything on your way very, very quickly.

Thanks for the tips, now we need to wait for it to be nothing too nerfed
HI all,

I was searching a build for 3.1, and one of my character was a shadow 70 with full respec point.
Followed this build, used my old RF berserk stuff, and i have to say it's very good. Just killed uber itzaro very easly at 75.

I honestly think it's a bit better than a berserk RF, the MoM and trickster ascend has a perfect synergie. Was worried with mov speed, but you have so much attack speed with "Walk the Aether" from ascend and "Coordination" that you don't care about mov speed, you just dash, dash and dash, no prob.

The only problem will remain the same with RF, you can't run shitty no life regen / -x res / vulnerability / elem weak (you can but it's a real pain and you know)

Overall, good job, nice build an guid thx :)
