[3.26] Fire Trap of Blasting - tanky, all content

Hi, glad you like it so far. As for improvements:

1) Damage
- Get fire dmg Light of Meaning, it's a ton of damage, the tree is designed around socketing it near Shadow start.
- Level your auras to 20
- Double Corrupted chest is a last, luxury upgrade.

2) Survivability
- Getting 100% spell suppression is a priority. You can achieve it by modifying tree and getting Grace Watcher's Eye (if you can get it with second dmg mod like Zealotry Cast Speed - great.)
- Switch Tempest Shield for Flesh and Stone. 25% chance to block spell damage is much worse than another 20% less damage taken.
- Does your merc cast Elemental Weakness? If yes, you can change your Elemental Weakness gem for Enfeeble. Enfeeble on hit glove corruption is obviously better, but harder to get.
- Get max roll Dark Seer, it's an extra bit of life.

You can also throw Crusader Exalted Orb on your ring. Almost all prefixes possible on ring are relevant.

Your modified PoB (respeced dps nodes so you can do it at your current level, damage is still higher):

EDIT: Oh, and haven't you skipped some Skill Point during campaign by the chance? Something is off with passives number and your level. You can check it in game by typing

Hey! thanks a lot for your detailed answer, i changed some things and managed to get some levels.

I checked the skill points, game says i have 24 from quests and i think thats the most you can get.

This is my current POB: https://pobb.in/kQ8L4IR0Hj7H

Now looking to double corrupt chest and get a max roll Dark seer

Hello exile, mainly want to say thanks for the build. Was late to the party this league but am enjoying your build for almost 2 weeks now.

If you still frequent this post and have time to spare, please take a look on my current character here:

https://pobb.in/KiAwNl1WXxkL

My own understanding are
On pob, yours seem to do twice my damage. Manage to close the gap on my pob by getting mark the prey, and increasing fire trap of blasting level by 2. Which means I need to level up, and get a double corrupted chest.

So I plan to prepare lots of uncorrupted chests, run Alva again and again, and hope for the best.

Kindly advise on my plan, or any tips on how to improve my character. Thank you!

How is survivability, does it feel better now? I've noticed that you bought my old ring, lol. You're pretty much min-maxed now, only luxury upgrades left, like double corrupted chest, enfeeble gloves and Mageblood.

You can also change your Forbidden Jewels to Gladiator, getting block on top of other defences feels amazing. It requires gearing your merc though, so enemies are debuffed with Covered in Ash. And make sure you have enough STR.

Hi, I'm glad that you're enjoying my build. Your dps is almost the same as mine, only things that will make a difference are double corrupted chest and Mark the Prey, as you've noticed.

As for chest, at this point of league, I'm afraid that double corrupting them yourself are the only option. There are few cheap relevant double corrupts on trade, but their owners aren't online anymore (same thing with Enfeeble Slavedriver's Hand). You can live search them in the process of running temples, it would be much cheaper if someone showed up.

I've also noticed that you have "clean" +30 life mastery. I don't know if it's a display bug of pobb.in, but you should substitute it with Runegraft of the Fortress, 40% increased eva/es is much better than a bit of life.

Yeah sadly those sellers aren't online anymore grrrr. Well, never successfully double corrupt anything I wanted before, good to try.

Thanks for noticing the missing of Runegraft of Fortress. May need new ring for more strength before applying that too.

I've checked again your PoB, you will be fine, as you need only 141 STR. Remember that Dragonfang reduces attribute requirements by percentage.

DEX requirement also sits at 141, so you can safely turn your 10 DEX nodes into 6% evasion tattoos (or movement speed if you prefer this).

Wow thanks for the heads up!

I was searching for +strength rings, but found it hard to make up for the resistance lost.

Just got Tinkerskin in syndicate craft bench with 20 vaal orb that can be reused on corrupted item, yet no +4 double corrupt :(

Feels really good now, ive managed to complete some t17s and Ubers now. Im saving to buy a MB right now.

Uhh i missed this, my merc is already fully equipped with the recommendations of your guide, will get more STR to change the jewels.

Thanks again

Djinn Orbs have unusually high chance of bricking item, never hit anything useful with them.

You can try sending private message to owners of there items. It happened to me once, someone wanted to buy niche item I had in trade tab and I've quit league already. Logged in and gave it to them. It may work.

Thanks, will try to do so.
