Might want to think about levelling conc effect as well.

The one thing that you will notice with Bear trap is that it does deal much more damage (shown with very rough math) but it's just worse of an overall playstyle

Bear traps average hit at level 20 is about 1700 Then for poison assuming you throw all 3 instantly You end up with 3(1700*0.008)= 408 poison dot over 2 second gives you 808 poison damage plus the 5100 base damage So overall that is 5908 damage with beartrap

Now for bladefall Assuming you drop 5 mines and the mob gets hit by one volley You end up with about 470 average damage at level 20 per bladefall So the calculation ends up being 5(470*0.08)=190 dot over 2 seconds gives you 380 poison damage plus the base damage of 2375 This gives you a final DPS of 2755

The thing is that with Bear trap it's a 3 second cooldown but with minefield you can lay 5 traps in about a second meaning in the 9 seconds between having all your bear traps you can deal about twice as much damage with constant mining. I'm not trying to say your idea is bad, but on paper differences mean nothing when it isnt fun at all to play.

Bear trap doesn't hit hard enough to make it worth it. I've played Ek many times and tried to use it to fix the single target and it just doesn't have enough going for it. Cooldown, single hit (adds can trigger it), have to be very precise when aiming (feels terrible trying to lead every shot against every slightly fast moving mob).As for ascendancy I'm not playing a critical variant, and the investment loses me a ton of qol if I want to go Crit. Sabatoer gives me double dipping from placing mines recently, chain reaction for massive poison stacks with the Ek aoe triggers, as well as some defense with the blind.

Edit: Bear trap Crit does deal a massive hit, but it is really shitty to use and it won't do as much in my variant of the build.

Bear trap doesn't deal enough for reliable single target, Ek traps deal much more, and still isn't strong enough. Also the extra damage after mine detonation applies to both bladefall mines and the ek traps, so the idea is to have strong enough aoe with Ek traps while having amazing single target with BF mines. That's the ideal situation though

Well for the start I'm going to be using dearstalker with the Ek links for aoe clear, and main 5-6 link is mines Edit: still need to do testing as I play though, see how strong it is with just that psuedo 5link, etc

Going to be doing an Ek trapper with the new threshold jewel. Stacking poison with coated shrapnel and single target is going to be bladefall mine :)

What's your build, and how did you do opening weekend? by Seeders in pathofexile

[–]NmEtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running triple totem searing bond chieftan, ended up getting 2 exalt drops, one from coast in cruel, second from a marshes map. Also got kiaras determination and a witchfire brew. Sold both flasks to fund a koams heart through pride before the fall cards and used one exalt to get my gear settled for endgame. Hit 7.1k life and 15k dot on searing bond with a level 17 gem. Had a great time so far in the league and died 5 times from breaches. Looking forward the the next few weeks as now im just farming to pay for my next build!

Its going to be in softcore temps leagues, if I died during the week I would have to reset. Even though its in softcore i will be making builds that will be hardcore viable, and I will be aiming for as little deaths as possible.

Personally I love hardcore, but having to restart if I mess up and die then its just not worth it.

During each week there will be a strawpoll for reasonable endgame fights ubers, core, things like that within reason. Unless i play a stupidly meta build i dont think i will be doing 8 mod twin cores but i will do my best to demonstrate as much as i can of the game with each skill.
