POE TRICKSTER PATCH

Your tankiness comes from Ghost Dance, lots of evasion, a respectable amount of life, and crafting %Life as ES on your chest, to bump up your ES amount and going Hybrid.

The other choice is using a clearing Toxic Rain with Mirage Archer and some utility links, like Withering Touch, and having Focused Ballista for your secondary, single target Toxic Rain. You can either choose to clear with a Caustic Arrow with Arrow Nova or if you have +1 Arrow bow/quiver you can forgo that link, while using the secondary 6-L with Toxic Rain and Mirage Archer, or you can go with Ballista Totems.

You’ll want two different 6-Link setups, but in this, you have some choice.

With the introduction of Forbidden Jewels in 3.17, now you can also take the Saboteur’s Born in the Shadows node for 15% reduced damage from blinded enemies (which will be everyone around you or that you attacked). Personally, I’m much fonder of Weave of the Arcane, since Toxic Rain has a hefty mana cost to spam.

There’s really only a single choice in Ascendancy nodes you have, which is between Escape Artist or Weave the Arcane.

Respectable Single Target damage with proper investment.

Really tanky, with lots of ES and Evasion scaling with Ghost Dance.

Amazing sustain, both for mana and life/es.

What the Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow Excels in: While not on the same level as a Champion for survivability, or speed as a Raider, or even damage as an Occultist, the Trickster is the best of all worlds, able to be a mix of them, who’s the second quickest, the second tankiest, and deals more damage than all others except the Occultist. With a Prism Guardian, you can reserve a lot more of your life to balance your life reservation in order to proc the Slayer leech, by reserving only 49% of your life, since, with Petrified Blood, you can’t go over 50%, and thus, you get infinite leech, that you can sustain with Exsanguinate’s base hit damage.įor more information, check here: 4 – Toxic Rain + Caustic ArrowĪ tried-and-true build archetype, that only gets better as time goes on.

As this is a mapping build, our single target damage isn’t all that wonderful, but we can still comfortably clear all regular bosses and some of the weaker Pinnacle ones.

Exsanguinate, on the other hand, costs life to cast, and while that’s a massive drawback for most builds, the Trickster has a fantastical life sustain, both in life recovery rate as well as %life/mana/es gained on kill.

Since both skills scale similarly, you’re essentially doubling your damage by using both skills in tandem.

Corrupting Fever works as a buff that you pay a massive life cost at the start of the map, and whenever you hit and refresh it, you apply more and more stacks, as well as proccing Exsanguinate through attacking the target.

Can League-start very comfortably, without any required uniques to play.

Quite defensive with Ghost Dance, Evasion, and ES scaling.

Easy Low Life through Petrified Blood that also grants ‘Slayer’ leech.

There are a few ways to use them, and one of the easiest and most effective clearing version would be through Kinetic Blast with Spellslinger Support, and that’s exactly what this build does.

That said, some have found ways to make him shine as bright as any other Ascendancy!Īnd here are some of the best Trickster builds in patch 3.17! 5 – Bloodslingerīlood skills that were introduced back in 3.14, Ultimatum league, were a massive success due to their power and how well they can scale, and most particularly Exsanguinate and Corrupting Fever. It’s definitely a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. While the Trickster has fallen out of favor due to nerfs and lack of buffs by GGG, still can be a solid choice for certain builds.
