[3.6] Spread the AIDS LL High Budget ED Trickster Guide
|
Introduction
This is a high budget low-life Essence Drain Trickster build, its high budget come from just one item that allows us to be lowlife even though we will have 5k+ HP+ and 2k+ ES JUST LOOK AT GHAZZY’S ED GUIDE IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE SHIELD Core of the build
Spoiler
This belt allows us to be cursed with Vulnerability, making us take a lot more physical damage, but also allows us to be counted as lowlife. With Pain Attunement, we get 35% more spell damage while still having a shitload of HP and ES. This item allows use to be immune to curses, so any map mod with any curse would be a cakewalk for us. Say byebye to Temp Chains! With the belt above, this shield counteracts its vulnerability debuff, allowing us to be lowlife without any drawbacks. Pros : - Probably the highest ED DPS a non-bow Trickster can get - Able to run every map mod - High avoidance (66% evade chance, 62% spell dodge, 10% projectile avoidance) - Curse Immunity - Flat damage reduction (13-14% from arctic armour, 4% from golem, 8% from ascendancy) - Clear entire memory blocks with a few ED / Contagion clicks (Especially open layout ones like Mesa or Beach) - Indoor maps not a problem for us as ED / Contagion spreads around walls Cons - Expensive (Core item is expensive and along with chaos hype this league, NACDOT items are expensive) - Can’t instagib shaper - No burst dps (ramp up time on single target) - Perma-vulnerability icon on your head, might ruin some MTX D: Offence
Spoiler
- Despair Aura with increased 40% curse effectiveness (70% with helm enchant) - Blight to help our single target + wither stack application - Vaal Blight for those really THICC bosses - Vaal Blight for those pesky “Allies cannot die” mod yellows   Defenses
Spoiler
- Temp Chains Aura with 40-70% increased curse effectiveness - With helm enchant, that means that white and blue mobs are 66% SLOWER - yellow and unique mobs are 23% slower - 14% physical and fire DR from Arctic Armour - 9% global DR with ascendancy - Stun immunity from ascendancy - Innate high evasion and spell dodge - 2k ES recovered on hit with flasks, 1250 ES without  Other gear
Spoiler
Helm
Spoiler
Why The Vertex? High ES which converts to more Evasion via Escape Artist Ascendancy. Free +1 to socketed gem levels which we will put our L21 Blight setup in here, giving it bigdick DPS. Try to get a high ES roll Suitable enchants are : Temporal chains effectiveness Despair effectiveness (very expensive this league due to Soulrend hype) Essence Drain damage. Body
Spoiler
Why The Perfect Form? Free 30% Spell Dodge + Free Arctic Armour. Its high evasion roll also let us get some ES via Escape Artist. Gloves
Spoiler
Rare gloves would do here. Try to get a high life roll if possible with as much resists as possible. Non-ailment Chaos Damage over time multiplier is also possible here but they are expensive this league. Shoes
Spoiler
Rare boots with as much life as possible. Must get 30% movement speed here. If you have money you can get a spelldodge roll here also. Atziri's Step will do fine if you can manage to cap your resists. Enchantments would either be the spell dodge one, movement speed or regen one, either is fine Rings
Spoiler
Rare rings with as much life, evasion, energy shield and resists as possible. Note that one of them will be an Unset Ring with optional +2 to socketed gems so that we can stuff Malevolence aura in here. +2 prefix gives us 1% more DOT damage on Malevolence Weapon
Spoiler
Multimodded wand with innate NACDOT prefix Multimods would be: (itself is a suffix) 1. Chaos damage + Chaos skill duration(Prefix) 2. Increased Damage over time (prefix) 3. Arcane surge on kill with cast speed (suffix) 4. Whatever suffix you want, for me I put trigger socketed spell whenever I cast a skill Amulet
Spoiler
This amulet gives us a free Temp Chains aura and increased buff duration after killing rares or uniques. If you can't spare the exalts, going for a Chaos Impresence is fine also. Its just changing buff duration for flat damage reduction. Belt
Spoiler
Gives us low life status. Try to get a good implicit via corruption as the default implicit of 20 ES is kinda bad. Shield
Spoiler
Curse immunity prevents us from getting rekt via the belt. Try to snag as a high curse effectiveness and All-res roll here. Gem Links
Spoiler
All gems are assumed to be 20/20 unless said otherwise With increasing order of importance, Your 6L Bigdick DPS in your chest Essence Drain (Try to get 21/20) > Efficacy > Controlled Destruction > Void Manipulation > Rapid Decay > Empower (Try to get level 4) Your aids spreader in your gloves/boots Contagion > Inc. AOE > Intensify > Faster Casting Your supplementary single target Damage in your helm Vaal Blight (21/0 or 20) > Efficacy > Controlled Destruction > Infused Channelling Your Blasphemy Auras in your gloves/boots Blasphemy > Temporal Chains > Despair > Arctic Armour Malevolence in Unset Ring Weapon with cast socketed spell when using skill Cast when damage taken (Level 1) > Immortal Call (Level 3) > Summon Chaos Golem (Max level) IC will work as normal with CWDT, ignoring weapon suffix. The suffix lets us have our golem up permanently Shield with movement skills Flame Dash (Quality doesn't matter) > Faster Casting > Arcane Surge (Level 8) Skill-tree
Spoiler
 should look something like this. Don't get double curse cluster till you get your curse amulet. 2 Spreading Rot Jewels, one near flask cluster at Witch Area, other one near the Pain Attunement node. 1 Intuitive Leap to the right of Shadow starting area. 1 free jewel slot to the bottom of Shadow starting area (Stuff your Watcher's Eye with NACDOT here) Ascendancy Patient Reaper > Ghost Dance > Escape Artist > Prolonged Pain Flasks
Spoiler
Life flask with Bleed Removal, try to get as much life recovered as possible. Jade Flask with more evasion rolls. More dodge and ignore unit collision + No more frozen/chilled. Even more zoom zoom. POB Link for those experienced

Don't think this is more damage than +4 levels multimodded bow? Costs less than the shield
|
|
" How do you get +4 on multimod? +2 support on crafted suffix +1 prefix Im guessing delve mods that +1 to str/dex/int gems? https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Synthesis/KozwPDc5 around 18-20ex for +4 |
|
|
Nah its +1 synthesis implicit. Costs about 8ex to buy. Octavian had a vid on how to make for around 5ex tho iirc.
Then 10 ex for multimod |
|
" Thats almost as much as the shield then |
|
|
look at any of the top damage ED tricksters on POE Ninja, look at the DoT numbers on their PoB and look at the weapons they are using
|
|
" Yes most of the highest are bow users Got one guy at 1.1m using shield https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/Hayate33/KiyoseHaiji?i=10&search=class%3DTrickster%26skill%3DEssence-Drain%26sort%3Ddps Im at 324k (baddie) since my empower is level 2 and my wither is within a jewel so I don't have that debuff on poe.ninja |
