This is a late game build. During early and mid game we are just another arc trapper build. Stick with it and have fun crushing stuff during maps!

The boots have 18% throw speed, but are supported by trap, So were going to put our cast on damage taken setup in there since none of the skills are effected by "trap". This puts our spire traps in our gloves, movement in a 3 socket weapon and cast on stun in our off hand.
I've six linked my chest and added 2 shimmer wands. This upgrade takes me to 1.5 million dps. Void batteries are faster throw speeds but less dps. Hard core players will be fine with shimmer so long as there are no skills in the helm that can critically hit enemies. My choses skills will trigger the negative effects of the shimmer but I'm doing just fine with it. *note traps and totems won't cause shimmers negative effect to damage you it is only the triggered skills in the helm that will cause this..

Its possible to get lightning and elemental damage modifiers in there two. These would be expensive to buy and difficult to craft. The belt can be crafted with 9-12% increased trap throw speed. This will help you to reach 8 trap throws per second.

The blue pearl amulet needs to be crafted with an essence of insanity to gain the 10% chance to gain 10% mana. This mod is vital to mana stability of our build, and is stack-able with the similar ascendancy skill.

It is possible to craft higher damage wands than void battery, good luck if you decide to do this.

Life, Spell/lightning damage, cast/throw speed are the mods we want most. Critical strike multiplier, energy shield and mana regeneration are acceptable less important mods. These are my jewels as of level 89. They are between 3c and 17c each and were good enough to reach 6 throws per second without throw speed on the belt. As my resist gear improves I will be able to upgrade these item, or exalt another mod onto some.

It is assumed that you will want to maximize your throw speed. The rotgut will recharge almost instantly and is expected that you will constantly have it active. The diamond flask refills more slowly and should be used less often and is a good place for resist freeze or bleed.

Aleria is by far the best choice for our build in early game. Resistances, Critical strike chance and mana regen are all very important. However late game, if your gear is good enough and your mana stable you could consider switching to extra passives.

Kitava's Thirst helm needs to have 4 skills in it. We are less concerned about the damage output from the helm as we are triggering skills to generate mana. Triggered skills can leech if you have the proper boot enchantment. This is probably the only build in the game where kitava's thirst is a solution to mana stability and not the cause of mana instability.

((Remember to calculate X 3 traps X 6 throws/s))

Each time arc levels up the mana cost will change. This is the hardest part of the build. If you get to far away from 100 mana you will never have any mana left for mind over matter. We balance this by using more or fewer apep's rage wands, and/or swapping skills out for lower or higher cost ones. This continues till arc reaches level 20 and we can use the setup in pob.

It is also possible to throw fewer traps at a higher dps, but we like to trigger as many traps as possible for the life and energy shield.
