[3.25] The Infused Trickster | Demo videos up : T17 Fortress | T17 Citadel

Continuatiom from the previos post, didnt want to make one huge wall of text

"

I really dig the Frost Shield, as it grants defense and crit chance.
Yeah, loved using it as well on my Incinerate Elementalist.

I'd actually recommend trying (Divergent) Cast-When-Stunned support for the curses and/or Frost Shield, though you'll have to get "chance to Avoid interruption from Stuns while Casting" to 100% via two Practiced Caster cluster nodes and Practical Application passive node or via one awakened CwC support

You can proc lvl 20-21 Frost Shield/any Curses with no penalty in their effectiveness. It's so much better than hextouch/nerfed curse on hit rings or cwdt supports in my opinion, though admittedly may not be worth it if you dont go aCwC setup where you get avoid interruptions from stuns basically for free. Even if you dont have blocks you'll be "stunned" on any decent T16 to trigger stuff all the time

Personally I used and enjoyed, last league:

CwStunned - Anomalous Sigil of Power Lv. 1-Anomalous Frost Shield lv. 21-Vaal Cold Snap Lv. 1 - though I wished I could somewhat fit in Increased Area of Effect support to Sigil of Power/Frost Shield too, mostly due to me bodyswapping all the time it was hard to stay within their range. Still possible in a 1v1 situations where the spells are most relevant though.

this current league:
CwStunned - Enfeeble Lv. 20 - Punishment Lv. 20 for the 100% effectiveness unlike through (awakened) Hextouch support I used to run last league

For comparison's sake, Assassin's Mark grants 40% more. If I had a second curse, Elem Weakness would grant 28%.
I'm guessing conductivity doesn't give you too much benefit? Never looked into how trinity works so I'm ignorant on that. I do feel like it'd me much more worth running Whispers of Doom anointment for the 2nd curse and get culling strike from cwdt-cold snap-culling strike link, megalomaniac Wish for Death node or via The Eternal Struggle (15% cull) amulet

PoB makes separate calculations for normal pulses and stronger pulse, so yes, you have to average 3/4 - 1/4 to get a better idea.

I have 50% lightning and 50% cold dmg through Call of the Brotherhood ring, so Elem Weakness would be better than Conductivity for me.


Thx for all the infos !
When I have some time, I will do a separate section in the first post for your variant.

I have replaced the legacy Shaper Sceptre I've had for years with one I bought in Archnemesis league :


I lose 8% DPS, so not a big deal.

Videos in preparation :
- Vaal Smite
- Cortex fight
- Channelled skills medley (Arc, Spark...)

Good luck and have fun :)

Hi,
I really like the look of this build. I just wondering how the survivable?
I'm currently playing a dex stack build witch super shitty survival and is looking for something more viably.

Best regards,
Survivability is good, thanks to Mind Over Matter + Eldritch Battery. Determination adds tankiness.
Purity of Elements for ailment immunity. Immunity to curse + unlucky enemies with Viridi's Veil helmet.
Chilling and freezing enemies is also an excellent defense.
On top of it all, you can add Frost shield.

Honestly, with all these defenses, this build is able to take some serious shit and stay upright.

OMG, this seems like a huge and unexpected buff !!

"
Lightning Tendrils now deals 1 to 6 Lightning Damage at gem level 1 (previously 1 to 4), scaling up to 75 to 1420 at gem level 20 (previously 55 to 1052). Stronger Pulses no longer deal 200% more Damage with Hits, instead Stronger Pulses always Critically Strike. Now releases a Stronger Pulse every 3 Pulses (previously every 4)


This is simply amazing.

Also, I wanted to show you this cool pics I've found, which fits the character perfectly :



This is most probably from an AI generated image, but it's been definitely improved by a real author (Pedro Jose Hernández Montero).

K, I am losing my mind. How are you getting Frenzy Charges? I watch your vid for "Vaal Smite" and I see Blood Rage pop up but I dont see how. Sorry if it is obvious. Thanks in advance.
Hi,

the Frenzy Charges come from (Vaal) Cold Snap.

*

Here is a first, very rough, comparison between 3.20 and 3.21.

Note that Lightning Tendrils hasn't been updated yet in PoB.
(New LT has : Stronger Pulse every 3 pulses, always crits.)

For the moment, with the rework of auras, I have -1% mana reserved. This can be solved with Enlighten 3 instead of 4. But I'll try to find alternate solutions.

PoB 3.20
https://pastebin.com/CsSj44h4

DPS :
Normal Pulses : 2.4M
Stronger Pulse : 7.1M

Average = (3 normal + 1 strong)/4 = 3.5M

Phantasmal :
Normal Pulses : 1.9M
Stronger Pulse : 10.8M

Average = 4.1M

PoB 3.21 beta

https://pobb.in/TVTSe-Pli_go

Normal Pulses : 2.64M
Stronger Pulse : 7.9M

Average = (2 normal + 1 strong)/3 = 4.4M

Gain : 25% more DPS on average.

Phantasmal :
Normal Pulses : 2.16M
Stronger Pulse : 11.9M

Average = 5.4M

Gain : 31% more

Hi Exiles,

here is a medley of different skills channelled with LT : Arc, Crackling Lance, Shock Nova and Spark. I'm also using several secondary skills : Assassin's Mark, (Vaal) Cold Snap and Galvanic Field.

Skills medley

I'm a bit late on this one. Next time, I'll showcase the reworked LT with the new Stronger Pulse that always crits !

(Waiting for PoB to update LT gem to make a new PoB link.)
