3.3 FireTrap/Flamethrower Trap Ascendant. DEATHLESS SHAPER

General
Fire Trap got buffed with the removal of cooldowns and some other relevant things that I don't remember. Flamethrower Trap complements very well with Fire Trap for single target.This build has defeated Shaper (deathless), and all 4 shaper guardians, AND a T15 red elder.

Common Single Target Fight Scenario

1. Get close enough so you can throw traps but enemy can't hit you or target you yet.

2. Throw Bear Traps + Flamethrower Traps + Fire Traps


How do you do so much single target dmg?
Bear Trap enhances dmg taken from traps and the Chieftain ascendancy node from Scion lets you cover rare or unique enemies in ash which causes them to take more fire dmg.


Why Ascendant?
Large access to life nodes early on and also I've never played her prior to this character.


Do I need Tinkerskin?
No. A standard 6L is fine. You might have mana issues though so sub in a mana flask instead of Vessel of Vinktars.


Other Viable Ascendancy Nodes?
Saboteur in my opinion is a must. Chieftain is sub-able, but I recommend Chieftain. Anyways.
1. Elementalist - This isn't a bad option. Extra penetration is nice, but we really don't need an extra golem. The stone golem itself isn't even that ncessary.

2. Inquisitor - A more powerful option that Elementalist imo and compares very well to Chieftain. Extra multiplier and extra pen is always appreciated.


Why Not Assassin or Trickster?
It feels like an awful waste to go in to those since our character alrdy has access to power charge and frenzy charge generation.


Leveling

So in my case, I used Magma Orb until Act 3 and then I bought Fire Trap and Flamethrower Trap off another player. I didn't use fire trap early on because spell damage only scales the skill's damage over time effect.
You don't have to use Magma Orb, freezing pulse or fireball or any generically good leveling spell is fine.

This is what you should have early on in regards to passive tree.



You should have this after a while.



Then this.



Finally, fill in the rest of the tree and you're done.

FOR ASCENDANCY ORDER -> Saboteur and then Chieftain and then Marauder starting tree.

I recommend Lifesprigs and Axiom Perpetuums early on for leveling weapons.

Hey, it looks good! I'd prioritize Fire Pen Support over Immolate Support for now for your 5 link setup!
