[3.9] Ryvenn's Arc Trap Build - 6k + EHP - 1.5M SHAPER DPS ALL CONTENT

Is it just the way traps scale or am I missing something. I finally found someone to sell me a 30lightning/30ele stygian for a decent price but was shocked that it only gave me barely 1.3k dps(tool tip). It confuses me greatly. It put me at 51k arc up from 48.8k, which seems wrong to me. I had this expectation of at least 5k dps from it lol

Its how Arc Scales - it may be a low damage increase on the tooltip but its actually quite high so don't need to worry about it :)

Hello guys, this is my current equipment. I made 4 trys to the ubber elder and the best try was 40%. What should I improve to defeat him?

Thanks!

I wanna say thank you for your Build! I play PoE on, off for a few years but this build is the first that fits me and i killed for the first time the t16 Guardians. Haha. I'm not that good at dodging mechanics and stuff, so yeah, your build is truly newbie to pro viable :D Thank you!

Hi Thanks for using the build -

HEre's what i got

- Helmet must be improved
- Amulet does have the stats but it doesnt have life - so it might make you squishy
- boots are okay but if you can improve it by getting a 1-160 lightning damag eenchant then thats good

thats all i see that needs improvement - and uber elder fight is a pure mechanical fight so failing is okay... youll get used to it someday :)

Thank you for the kind words... Im also glad you were able to do most of the content using the build i made ^^

Is it worth it to put in a level 3 or 4 empower in the arc setup? if so which gem to replace?

If you have the money for it - i think you can replace Elemental Focus - should still give you the same results but without Elemental Focus you can shock enemies.

Since I managed to drop an ilvl85 shaper scepter I figured that I'd try to craft an amazing item and ended up blowing through almost 5k alts and my extra annuls trying to get T1 elemental damage as extra chaos damage and either T1 crit multi or elemental pen or critical strike chance to spells. It never happened lol. Statistically I think it should have considering how many chances I had augmenting 1 good roll but I never even rolled one single T2 suffix with a T1 elemental damage as extra chaos.


Just to round the numbers I probably spent 3.5ex in crafting materials and ended up with T1 elemental damage as extra chaos damage and 76% critical strike chance to spells (technically a T1 roll with socketed gems supported by increased critical strikes but it's a worthless mod so it's T3.) I could've just multi-modded up to 69% critical strike chance to spells so I spent all that currency for nothing really when I could've taken the first T1 extra ele-->chaos roll I got and called it a day.

If you're going to craft it I would suggest just landing the T1 elemental damage as extra chaos and then multi-modding the rest unless you're REALLY pushing for a GG weapon or you love to roll the dice. If you're an economy expert you could stop whenever you land a different pair of T1 mods to sell the item I suppose.

Edit: I forgot imprints are magic only. You shouldn't overpay for a magic item when you're going to have a 2/3 chance of bricking. Paying for a T1 elemental damage as extra chaos roll on a 1 or 2 mod RARE with no junk affix is money well spent IMO.

Hey Ryvenn!

nice how your build evolved - I have a quick question regarding one of my friends, he wants to play a non-crit variant of your build. I know you started out with non-crit but changed, as I see, to a semi-crit build.

Do you have the non-crit build saved and can you link it again? Appreciate it!

Thanks
