[3.23] 🧙‍♂️⚡BattleTrapper 2024 by 📺/ThatDanishFellow ✔️A9 ✔️HC ✔️Block ✔️All-Content ✔️L-Starter ✔️UPD🔥TES

as i posted before , this is my second attempt at this build . my first attempt did not go well, but i love trappers and i really want a trapper build that can run comfortably in red maps.

i just transitioned into yellow and there is a couple of things i noticed that may be helpful to people who are new to trappers or this build, and especially CI.

1 in my previous attempt i went hybrid life/ES. big mistake . as someone else mentioned, go CI once you can scrape together about 4k ES. BE SURE you have a freeze immunity flask. i started CI at 3.8kES. it's really nice to have chaos immunity. DON'T FORGET TO SELECT ZEALOT's OATH ! hahaha

2 be sure an get a good weapon as soon as possible. i bought a lightning crit/multi weapon for like 2 or 3 C, just like oestergreen posted in a trade link, and it made a very, very noticeable difference. however, i have a 6L which brings me to my next point.

3 get a corrupted 6L (or not corrupted) sooner rather than later... i had no problem getting a nice ES armour 6L, for about 18C. and if i can scrape together 18C, so can you (i suck at this game, lol)

4 get crown of the inward eye sooner, not later. i was starting to have problems with squishiness in t5s (sad !) and crown made a BIG difference. It made such a big difference, i think it's a key item for the build. so get one as soon as you can and don't worry about the enchantment now. that extra damage reduction you get from its high armour roll (1100 or so) does a lot more good than you would think.

5 get CWDT set-up !! LMAO. i'm such an idiot. CWDT solves the "whittling away" problem where lots of small hits cause you to drop until a not so big hit kills you. i was just being lazy and hadn't set it up yet. got crown, put CWDT/IC/stone golem in it and now i'm tanking stuff that was killing me before.

6 use a quartz flask, at least until you get used to the build. a quartz flask with some sort of helpful roll is really important until you have really high DPS and don't have to worry about getting trapped in a corner.

i do not have ES on block yet. i'm not even using rumi's yet (i'm really bad at flask piano - i'll get it later). a freeze immunity sulphur flask is very valuable. (no, i don't have a bottled faith. lol)

As i was saying the inward eye and CWDT set-up were significant improvements in my experience, so just wanted to be sure and mention that.

hoping this will help folks who may be struggling. my character should be public and i would say i have very average gear, probably about 35-40C at this point, 1/2 of which was the 6L.

we'll see how yellow maps go (i'm off to a good start !), but i already know that red maps are the big gate. excited to get to them and see how things go.

Hello! With my casual playstyle, I finally made into maps after 17 hours. Man, the game changed! -In a bad way!

Even though I have capped (75, 75, 76) resistance, due the having not enough life and ES, I keep dying. So, my question is, instead of 5-Link decent levelling, can I use 4-Link Shavrone? Until I am fine with purchasing 5 or 6L

Also, how should I apply curses at the beginning? Items shown are quite hard to get or too expensive for me to buy at this very stage of the game.

Another question: I see cast when damage taken is linked with level 8 tempest shield but I remember I also saw a level 20 tempest shield somewhere, probably mana reserve linking... So, should I have two different tempest shields and how a reserve skill works with CWDT?

Thanks in advance.

How you use zelatory with arogance ? 101%hp + banner Oo You don't have any - mana reserved jewels so how ?

happened to me, once leveled arrogance skill multiplier decreases.


@oestergreen : why dont you use more cluster jewels in the build ?
on the alira advanced 1, you jump from 5M5 dps, 9k7 ES, 51/70 block (123 skill points) to 8M7, 8k9 ES, 50/64 block (122 skill poitns - https://pastebin.com/JfLxFESF). QOL is so much improved dude while dps improved a lot :
- more jewel = more slots for extra str/dext
- +40% throwing speed
- +20% movespeed


In my current build i have only 2 clusters and i already zoom zoom in maps. I also added block nodes cluster to be able to run into packs more easily.

I am currently trying to add ashe of the stars. It can be used once, 100% stun avoidance is achieved. We need to calculate if it can be done without using too many jewels slots. Easy way is to stack 30% on 4 jewels meaning loosing a lot of crit multiplier. On the other hand, jewel price would drop from 5-10ex each (perfect ones) to almost nothing

my account is open, i have only one char on archnemesis.
The best clusters in my opinions are with guerila tactics/surprise sabotage

Which one should I use? The block and high ES vs. the ES on block...

Your sockets are kinda a mess, there's no excuse to be running two sockets in most of your items and only a 4L for your damage when you start mapping. You're missing out on CWDT Immortal Call, for example.

You also have no pierce as far as I can see, socket a Poacher's Aim into your tree at the very least.

Before you get immunity to stun from Presence of Chayula, make sure to run Brine King in pantheon to avoid being stunlocked to death by fast groups.

But, most importantly, you should fit in a bit more ES and take CI and Zealot's Oath so you don't die to a light breeze if it's chaos damage. Your only survivability at this point comes from the fact that your ES recovers very fast when you give it a chance to, so you kinda have to power through it by playing carefully and staying on your toes.

Then as you save up some currency you can get upgrades:

Crown of the Inward Eye is very cheap at this point (though with the pierce enchant it'd cost you about 1ex) and it gives you nice armor, ES and some extra damage.

Rumi's Concotion for some extra block

Shaper influence shield with %ES on block is very important, you can buy a Harmonic base for a few c and then spam dense fossils on it until you get a decent rolls, shouldn't take more than 50c overall barring a stroke of bad luck. Keep in mind the amount of ES you have on your shield is also very important because of the nodes that increase ES gained from your shield slot by a lot.

You should be able to get in the 6-7k ES range with inexpensive upgrades, at which point it's easy to survive most things in red maps if you have the shaper shield. From there you can either grab a 5L Shavronne's (harvest for linking 5 sockets is pretty common, so you could buy any with enough sockets and link it yourself) so you can switch to lowlife and enjoy things like Pain Attunement, more auras and Presence of Chayula, or stay on CI until you save up for a 6L

thanks for the advice. stuff that i did or corrected below:

1) picked brine king for major pantheon
2) bought 2 flasks (1 for anti-freeze, the other for anti-bleed)
3) did merc lab (added born in the shadows)
4) bought poacher's aim - viridian jewel and socketed it below pain attunement
5) bought a large cluster jewel that's closest to what author recommended and socketed it above zealot's oath
6) bought better wand, crown and 4L gloves (socketed with CWDT level 1, immortal call level 1, discip and wrath). i just followed author's level 95+ char and left CWDT and immortal call both at level 1. idk what's the reasoning for leaving both at level 1. im assuming its mana consumption rate


so i guess the next thing i should be aiming for is uber lab completion and 5L shavronne's chest item? kinda lucky this build isn't that expensive. highest map tier i've completed now is t7 alchemised yellow map.
