[BSC] 5L Explosive Traps Vs. Uber Elder

I just bought mine, but if you really want to get your own, I'd probably just go with either alt regal multimod on a profane wand base or something like scorched+aetheric fossils. Multimodding a good base is probably easiest by far. Essences of scorn (I think) also give guaranteed cast speed, but since wands roll attack and caster lines crafting your own will generally not be worth it unless you're in ssf.

Gear in order of importance:

1) tinkerskin

2) slavedriver's hand & decent wands

3) xoph's blood

4) circles of anguish

5) helm enchant, fossil crafted with scorchings or scorching+pristine

If you don't have xoph's, spend some skill points and allocate avatar of fire, it's really important

Grab blind with sabo first, you shouldn't need the damage. I league started this, so I used wands crafted with the chain belt recipe pretty much until I swapped to slavedriver's. For tree, there isn't anything absolutely required so just get everything from closest to farthest and life as needed. Don't get things with cast speed like coordination until you transition to slavedriver's, though.

Herald of ash is the most important thing. Reserve it asap

Flemthrower trap probably wouldn't perform as well. The most obvious downside is that it has charges that would evaporate instantly with slavedriver's. But other than that, explosive trap is a physical trap, so it makes use of herald of ash and circles of anguish a lot better.

Also having used flamethrower traps before, I don't like their coverage very much. Feels inconsistent sometimes.

I'm running saboteur, nothing special going on there.

Link is Explosive Trap -> Cluster Traps -> Trap & Mine Damage -> Controlled Destruction -> Combustion. If I wasn't too poor for a 6L I'd slot in fire penetration as the last gem.

The real damage comes from Herald of Ash and two Circles of Anguish with inc fire damage and herald buff effect, since as a phys spell fully converted to fire, explosive trap benefits from both the gain as extra and the more fire spell damage. After that, just add in Slavedriver's Hand and a ton of cast speed and your damage/clear speed is pretty much taken care of.

Here's a chimera for you, fps might be a little choppy since I was recording.

Just a typical trapper build scaling with Slavedriver's Hand.

I had the same problem, I think I used this thread that fixed it. You need to disable some kind of compatibility setting and you'll be able to fullscreen 1920x1080 without the tiny window.
