3.3 Bladefall Poison Trap Assassin

Hello guys,

I introduce myself a little:
I m a french guy who lives in Japan,I m father of two kids so I m a casual player.
Im playing since just before the nemesis league ,and as a casual player I m playing after work.
I like to create original build by myself and I especially like trap and mine.
(even before trap revamp lol)
So, this is my second build guide.
Enjoy !

My first build guide: GC mine chaos conversion
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2073831

Concept:
Spoiler
With the new patch note , this build works again:
-No cooldown for trap
-Bladefall Buff
-Traps node buff(works with poison)
-Buff Deadly ailment and trap damage support
Trap damage will boost poison too, so we ll focus on trap damage nodes


1:Gear explanations
Spoiler


A dagger with poison duration ,poison damage and the new league mod "trap damage"
I crafted Damage over time with Leo


For the enchantment , I prefer "bladefall has an additionnal volley for a better clearspeed.
Bladefall single target need a smaller AOE for hitting more times that s why an additional volley is better than AOE increased nodes.


BIS --- life,EV and 40% poison duration is a big damage boost


BIS --- Best armor for poison build , doesn t need explanations


For me , its the best boots for every Evasion/Dodge build
My corruption is defensive but you can have frenzy charge.


This item is mandatory, with blood magic no need mana flask or mana regen nodes.
Just the perfect gloves for every traps build.You just need few life regen nodes.


Nothing special here , just we need life and a lot of resistances


Free despair blasphemy ( with AOE support, Enhance its 49 % mana reservation so this amulet is perfect)
Life,chaos resist , Dmg and a little buff defensive , what else?


Classical set up




2: Gems Set up
Spoiler

Bladefall-Trap-Cluster Trap-Vile Toxin-Deadly Ailments-Trap and Mine Damage

3: Passive tree and Jewel
Spoiler
Look at my passive tree , I m creating my build while Im levelling , for me you can planning a build because you don t really know what you need before the real endgame, I will update after .
Now Im lvl 87

You need 2X Hair trigger jewels for cluster trap trigger radius
and the 3nd is free




I will update more informations soon ,but feel free to ask me something.
Thanks

Interesting build, I was considering making something like this, too bad trap nodes don't scale ailments. You should swap out trap dmg for added chaos, as this will increase poison damage.
Why didn't you go for deadly infusion. unstable infusion doesn't work with traps ? And how much life do you have ?

Yes ,it does .
"Trap, mine, minion or totem damage modifiers will also affect the damage of poison if it is applied by a trap, a mine, a minion or a totem respectively."

Deadly infusion and Unstable infusion doesn t give enoigh damage boost and I like the moove speed of Oportunistic.

I did my build before levelling with path of building ,so every single nodes has been compared with other one .

I have 4k500 life and 750 ES at lv88 Im really safe with Grace and Arctic Armor
No video?
I'll do when I have a little time
Can you also please test damage of firestorm spell traps with x2 The Consuming Dark or fire Volkuur's Guidance? I want to try that kind of stuff on flashback event....

This build was too nerfed after I did it so I stopped it.

But thank you for you participation.
Why was it nerfed, can you explain?
