Fire Trap - main AoE - Bear Trap - single target | possible?
|
I was wondering if its possible to make a viable character using these 2 skills.
Has anyone tried a build like this before? How's fire traps damage late game compared to other AoE skills? any feedback appreciated. |

I am actually doing this right now. I cant tell you if its viable because Im only a lev 37, but it seems to be working great with the gear I have on Act3 normal. Here is my Tree

I am trying to focus on the AOE radius/damage passives along with the trap passives. Edit: I'm also focusing on fire damage and have burn chance on fire trap. Here is where I want to be by lev 60.

OR Alternate with extra life instead of trap passives http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBEQ8RLxW4Fr8eGiaVKCoqujBUNntGcVM1VUtWLV0JYeJtbG17b55wUofbjDaZV5mam7WksaZ_rH-xs7VItvfDOspK1U_ed-WO62PtQfPq_5PIW5YyCGci6ujW6xSNv3lIIQO7fGXxwFHjhA5IEZZ_xqKjwfNtGS0fj6ZSUz1fJ6labSQ8p1xJUQ== Last edited by TX_AmBUSH#3413 on Mar 12, 2013, 4:36:17 PM

i'am the proof you can do this. you have to watch for mana cost but passive tree help a lot. i have 4 auras on me to do this built.
For now the only thing who scared me is chaos dmg i have -34% need some stuff to go further. Eifen - Level 70 Hardcore Shadow dual strike / bear trap / fire trap / whirling blade Last edited by ArkhaN#5504 on Mar 13, 2013, 4:53:47 AM

I got this but as Templar. Why? Burn damage passives are near, and shock chance is near and Inner Force is near. You are also close to elemental damage and lots of life (as I gone EB).
But key to this build is Fire caster unique staff. That is what makes Fire traps killers. As for bear trap I got 2 +added fire damage and also have Hatred aura to boost their damage even more. Fire trap is connected to Increased Area damage and I got a Arc Spell Totem+faster cast+elemental proliferation. It both tanks well and increases damage done by my fire traps by 120%, which is great against champion mobs In my experience 2 fire traps and 2 bear traps is enough when combined with some spell totem and some secondary spell (I got Fireball+LMP+fire penetration+faster projectiles). I clear docks Act3 merc easily alone and without risk of death. White mobs die from one fire trap, champions from 1 fire trap+totem, rares well depend on their mods but most die from 2-3 bear traps + totem Last edited by Torin#1843 on Mar 13, 2013, 6:23:16 AM

Not many Have bothered with Traps as a main source of damage happy to see others have prevailed and more are willing to give it ago.
I am a lv 79 Trap Shadow, below is a link to the fire trap shadow community support page which i threw out a few weeks back http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/190359 Good luck Logisticar_Gali I cannot support the Direction of this game anymore due to the fact the PC verson of the game will be compromised due to the limitation of the console verson, which explains alot of the current state of the game.
