@@blablablablibliblibloubloublou I ended up just using jewellers orbs for the 4 slots, but from what I’ve heard it’s indeed worth it to try and vaal for the 4th if your’re only aiming for 4 support gems.

No problem 👍

@@lgleonardogomes I now have a full phys weapon which performs outstanding, I indeed think that’s the play!

@@deathshade777 Yeah there is a case to be made for that. The reason I chose cold skill is the chill/freeze being another defensive layer and glacial cascade being a good carry at bosses when your weapons are not up to par. I will definitely give the lightning skills shot later down the line and compare.

@@elBeto-zd2ov I’ve upgraded the build since this video which has significantly upped the dps! ;)

Both Power Siphon and Frost Blades trickster scale pretty hard early and can be used as a leaguestart. But even a lightning strike can be build on a lower budget and expanded upon as the league goes on.

@@ShadowPoE thank you! i will try looking for those PoBs

I would say slayer is easier to setup, you just have to stack frenzy charges, turn them into endurance charges and you are decently tanky and have great damage. However, after high investment into trickster the levels of damage can reach that of slayer and the tankiness if way beyond slayer's build. Also crafting CI gear is a lot easier in general as it often just involves dense fossil spamming. All in all, seeing you situation if you don't have much currency I'd personally chose slayer because it's easy to get off the ground. Unless you plan on bringing the build into endgame and farming 100+ divines, in which case trickster is more fun to build in the endgame.

@@ShadowPoE thanks so much. great explanation and how I thought of it as well. I had about 10 divines, so last night I went ahead and respec'ed my flicker strike slayer into LS and having a blast. barely any investment and t16s are comfy, dmg and tanky wise

@@user-yu9qq3dr6b You can use the mark mastery for a chance to gain a frenzy charge when hitting a marked enemy. The reason we take +1 power charge is because we use the Anathema ring, which sets your curse limit to be equal to your maximum power charges, this way we can apply another curse for more damage.

Returning projectiles can shotgun (hit the same enemy again) and this is not properly calculated by PoB. Hence the manual addition to the config, I used 75% to be slightly conservative as there might be situations where a returning projectile does not hit due to the enemy moving.

@@yuriyvanov7587 Yeah you could, though you might want to reconsider some of the support gems. poe ninja should give a good indication which ones would be best.

@@PavelBe860 If you have your action speed is at least 108 from trickster (One step ahead ascendency) it doesn’t do anything (unless you have other boosts elsewhere pushing your above 8%) I assume the people using action speed boots don’t have ‘One step ahead’ assigned.

The intelligence provides just as much energy shield as a %es tattoo, assuming you have specced in increased intelligence on tree and as corrupt implicit. By leaving those intelligence nodes intact we have more int, which translates into more evasion rating with the evasion and energy shield mastery. The non block based version (evasion based) would allow you to run something like an Atziri's reflection to deal more damage (due to curse effectiveness) and curse immunity. However, it will be less tanky, it's mostly a preference thing, both versions will work.

@@JosephGuerrero Thank you for the kind words! I’m definitely planning on putting out more guides in the upcoming league.

You can find all the gear in the PoB if that's what you mean: pobb.in/fpYwjv0WtVuW

@@ShadowPoE thanks for the reply. I’m following the build now,Trying to get the gear together. Can you please tell me what cosmetics you are using for your build! Your client looks sick!

@@YFPO2D I have bad news because most of the pieces are from the Voidborn Core supporter pack from 2023 and unavailable because of it. Armour: Helmet: Celestial emperor helmet Body: Voidborn body armour Gloves: Voidborn gloves Boots: Voidborn boots Back: Wormhole back attachment Weapon: Nightfall weapon (runebind weapon effect) Shield: Mage-Hunter's Energy Aegis Skills: Void Emperor Lightning Strike Stygian molten shell Nightfall Aura effect

@@G9_Freestyle I’d say titanic whisped blight bosses are too tanky for a setup of 50m dps. This build focusses mainly on tankiness and comfort over maximum damage. You could scale this to very high dps with a doryani’s and a lot less focus on the defensive aspects. But at that point you are almost building a completely different build and I’d recommend penance brand or vaal ls slayer.

@@ShadowPoE Ty bro.

@@ShadowPoE I want to play build you.Can you test it for me, brother?

@@G9_Freestyle I tested it on a T16 map and it's kind of sketchy, I did manage to complete it, but with some bad luck/rolls it can go very poorly. Would definitely want at least 100m dps I'd say, so like I mentioned a more dps oriented variation of this build.

@@ShadowPoE Ok ty bro.

I've invested well over 1000 divines into this build. But you can get started as low as 10 divines and upgrade from there. Noteable purchases: Voice of the storm Resolute technique ephemeral edge Well rolled Aegis aurora Double rage lethal pride The rest of the gear can be crafted very budget with the use of dense fossils, or if you are uncomfortable with crafting there is plenty of items available on the market. If you have any other questions do let me know. :)

@@eliyar608 Thank you for the kind words!

@@ShadowPoEis it possible to share your T17 or T16 regex ?

​@@eliyar608 This is the T17 regex I use: "!rune|vola|efe|eche|wak|lier|ld f|wni|ur$|k at" Keep in mind I don't block meteor on flask usage due to mageblood, and elemental reflect is not blocked, so if not running awakened elemental damage with attacks (lvl 5) keep an eye out for that too. As for T16, I don't have the exact regex anymore but you can generate your own using poe.re things to look out for: Less defence, monsters block, you have no chance to block, monster crit and monsters can't be leeched from.

​@@eliyar608hi new player I am done playing this league, would you like some free items?

@@TrilogySamm I would say so yes. However it’s definitely a build that needs a decent amount of investment. Personally this would be more like a second build for me.

best build for hc if you already have the gear

@@ShadowPoE alright man thanks for responding! Good content keep ik uppp

can you play this all the way from act 1 to endgame? can you level with lightning strike? is there a leveling guide for this build?

@@SmexerP While you can technically play this from act 1 all the way into endgame, I would not use lightning strike until act 4 when you unlock multistrike. I would personally just follow any trickster leveling guide and pivot into this once you hit 80+ and have some currency, because some of the uniques such as ephemeral edge and a decent amount of energy shield are needed to make this build shine.

I tried to make this build before but everything is so expensive i gave up and carried on with ice nova of frostbolts I'm playing in normal settlers league still just got enough and brought a mageblood saw your guide and figured I would try play my lighting strike build again as before I didnt have enough currency just checked trade for some of the items and realised I still don't have enough currency 1 jewel 100 div nimis ring 180 div so guess I need to farm another 500+ div to get anywhere shame very nice guide just wish I had currency to make it guess ill farm some more and hope i get chance before end of league

@@NathanTurner-y9h u can also play lightning strike slayer, its significantly cheaper, fobgun has a guide on his youtube channel

@@NathanTurner-y9h I would say the build is definitely playable without the nimis, you can just use returning projectile support. The jewel is around a 20% damage loss, so still manageable without. The only downside is that high es gear is highly inflated in price, so if you are uncomfortable crafting it indeed gets expensive pretty fast. Good luck farming and stay sane exile!

@@hobonickel840 I could see a setup where a 4L shieldcharge is used to carry the clearing while using a 6L retaliation skill for single target. You would need to make a non petrified blood setup as all the auras + arrogance supports make us pretty socket starved though.

@@parkerault2607 If that’s something you’re interested in, definitely also check out Subtractem’s Leap slam Gladiator and Frostblink Elementalist!

Yeah for around 200 divines for the enchant alone. Definitely a worthwhile investment /s

@@ianjohnson3274 in the end game most upgrades will cost many divines. dont be so stupid.

@@Adrostos "most upgrades" will not cost 200 divines for just an enchantment. That doesn't even include the currency to craft the item. That's just for 1 enchantment.
