[Outdated] Ultimate EDTrickster [2M dps - UNKILLABLE]

Today saw a post on steam from GGG about what they are working on, among other things -

"Quivers now have additional tiers of Damage Over Time Multiplier. In order to be consistent with other item slots, bows now use one-hand Damage Over Time Multiplier values."

So we get more increased chaos dmg over time % from influence mods if I recall correctly starting this league (which is cool, ok great, although that's INCREASED chaos dmg, and not dmg over time MULTI which is hard to get AND it gives more damage because of this scarcity), can't remember how much more, but looking at them on poedb right now it feels they were increased pretty good, BUT, but but but, now we get a step BACK on that, and get our standard bow dmg over time mod friggin nerfed by about 41% it seems, while this mod from a quiver is still USELESS to us, non-attack chaos skill users. Honestly this is bullshit, I can't even understand this change from a logical standpoint, like you're now firing a bow with one hand? Ok GGG, I got it, we need to start using "appropriate" weapons for our MAGIC builds, like WANDS or STAVES or what?...Gosh this is really annoying.

It looks like you need spell suppression now to compensate for the lack of spell dodge which is kinda annoying, more points lost...i've also put points into stun immunity, i might be able to refund those tho once i got the cluster with Unwaveringly Evil.

The "+100% Evasion on Chest" Mastery goes along nicely with Escape Arist, boostet my ES by 1100 but i cant really afford 4 more points to get MoM -.-

It starts to feel halfway decent now surviveability wise, dmg is getting okayish aswell, just got my Empower 4 and that bumped me over 500k.

I am using Grace tho and not Petrified Blood + Pain Attunement, gotta check if i can switch those 2 later on...and i have to switch the large cluster, the mana dmg boost is basicly non existant xD

But overall, its still working...i am pretty sure you can get a way stronger char if you go meta with the ~25 ex i've invested so far tho :D

Well, I'm not saying the build is totally dead like the aura stacker, but it feels quite a lot worse than it was to me. I used to run into packs of mobs without fear of dieing since I was tanky enough, used to facetank almost every map boss, I wasn't dieing to random one-shots and whatnot. And was totally ok with having sub-par single-targer damage compared to a lot of other builds. But now I have to play a lot more safe, having the same damage (and I chose this build to have a tanky character in the first place), and this feels bad. That's just my opinion of course.

Dps and clear doesn't matter if you're dead. RIP

I died 246 times so far, roughly 60 in the campaign alone xD you definately die more than before, especially spell dodge is sorely missed and you get totally wrecked without spell suppression.

Plus when you enter the scourge you really really REALLY have to hit the cont+ed which takes roughly as long as the stun lasts or you are gone - it is pure fun to see the whole screen (and more) pop while running circles if you hit tho :D

I must sadly come to the conclusion that this build got destryoed...the evade just isn't stable, you take alot more dmg, spell casters screw you hard - it was working while the defence wasn't changed, damage just went down a bit but was still okay but with the recent changes i just keep getting one shotted way to often, i can usually reach level 96-97 kinda stable with 1-2 deaths per level if i don't do Sirus but that doesn't work anymore :(
