Seems like their are stat requirement issues after advancing past the low budget + lvl 90 tree. I suppose we just need to plug that on a jewel or cluster passives?
Just wanna say I greatly appreciate the effort you put into your POBs. Having all budgets and upgrades in one saves so much time and effort. Keep up the great work!
I was really on the fence whether to play Seismic Trap and I thought I would watch and listen to what you had to say about it. I never played it before. You have written and detailed such an awesome POB on this that I have decided to make it my league starter. Thank you.
Hi MattH! I liked the high budget Eldritch Battery version, but Enlighten 4 makes it too expensive for me. I found a much cheaper alternative that uses the same auras and only does slightly less damage. You need: * 75% reservation efficiency Herald of Purity helm enchant on the Devouring Diadem - not too expensive * Jewels with a total of 8% increased reservation efficiency * 2x Enlighten 3 (saves about 20 ex vs level 4) * Sovereignty anointment for your amulet - any amulet will work, no need for Ashes of the Stars * Skill tree as per high budget version If you do it right, you will have exactly 100% reserved mana and you can run Grace, Determination, Defiance Banner, Skitterbots, Pride and Herald of Purity. This also enables you to use rare rings rather than Circle of Guilt, which makes it much easier to cap your resists.
Hi Matth , i found very good replacement for Inertia : Lethal pride KAOM. I placed it above the Herbalism cluster on the right side and it gives me 78 STR: 2x +20 STR on 2 noteables 5x +2 on all small DEX nods 7x +4 on small cluster nodes Its much less , but if this is enough to meet gear requirement , you still have the DEX from the small nodes and other noteable can give 20%increase armor, 1% life regen etc
I've looked at a few guides for Phys traps and you've got a refreshing take on where you should be saving currency and what upgrades are impactful from a budget perspective. Also love how you can see the sun slowly illuminating your curtain, poor sleep habits aren't that uncommon in this demographic but remember take care of yourself.
Thank you! great great job! just did my starter league with vortex CI and wasnt getting the expected results, saw this video, and I've got to say, amazing job and time, effort put into that! POB is great! and the build is amazing! keep on doing great things!
With how I play, the gear he is aiming for at the end of day one is the gear and build I can expect by the end of the first month of the league. Not too shabby.
Also you can use lethal pride in ranger area to sort strength and get 2+ dd nodes. And if you go shaper gloves instead of deer stalkers, you can get brittle ground implicit on boots and drop incr crit strikes for another support gem like hypothermia
does it matter what mod the skin of the lords has? i bought one for ~2.5ex cause it had the right socket colors and then saw that it has avatarr of fire but in the pob it has minion instability
Anyone know how the actual full dps is calculated for this build or is the 13.8m shown in the pob high budget accurate? if so that seems like a very squishy build (low life) for a 13m dps
Looking forward to trying Seismic for the first time! Always love following your builds. I have a quick question, sorry if I missed it somewhere in here. You say to swap to phys around 75 (or whenever you have +1 skill wands/tabula/5L). On the PoB Notes, it says to get Exsanguinate in a6 and run: Exsanguinate, Seismic, lightning spire, flamethrower). Does this mean, even though you are technically elemental, you still use Exsanguinate for just your clear? Or are you still using Lightning trap? Thanks so much :)
Hey Matth, I'm level 90 and somewhere between mid/high budget gear wise and still having trouble breaking into higher tier red maps. Currently getting slapped around in T11 Cemetery, I feel like I'm doing good until I just get 1 shot, I'm taking care not to load my maps with too many mods, etc. I'm capped res, 100% spell supp, with 4k HP. I feel like I should at least be able to do a non-juiced T14+ by now. Is there anything I should check that I may be overlooking for defenses, is the build just THAT squishy? I'm really enjoying the build otherwise, traps have a nice flow to them and are actually pretty fun to play. Thanks for the work you do man, appreciate it.
@@moo4700 yea I was res capped, spell supp capped, everything. The build is just shit for juiced expeditions, but most are and 60 deli is easy so I’m not surprised, the build has great damage but juice any mechanics in t16 and pop a sentinel and you’re getting fucked. It’s a good league start and pure bosser but too weak defensively to do much else this league.
@@moo4700 yea man, tried kiting and everything, it just can't handle the juice. It was an alt I made out of boredom, already have 2 others that handle most stuff just fine so I'm not stressing. It's fine for league start and killing bosses specifically so I just use it for that rather than mapping.
I noticed that in your DD setup you removed Skitterbots for Pride. However, in your High budget Skill tree you still use the mastery for the skitterbots. I assume that's just an oversight?
Great build dudebomb...have the 25EX plus one....enlighten 3 all the works...cant get all auras UP, no detemination...no mana for it...how ? what should I abandon for it ? or is it important ?
just wondering between using steelskin or moltenshell in left click because moltenshell seems so much better in pob, do you need devouring to use molten shell ?
hi math, thx for the build. I'm normally a one build per league guy. is this a build that is capable of doing all content with decent map clear? I went EA in 3.17 and didn't mind that type of play style
yes, i did endgame bossing with this build, just make sure you go the cluster jewels path, it makes everything easier beside the fact that you'll have 500 less health.
I'm having a mana issue... I have a perfect Ashes and ring but I can not run pride determination grace enlighten sktters herald of purity and defiance banner all nodes are taken for res efficiency i cant tell what im missing
I am coming back to the game after not playing for a while, I really want to see all of the content and do all of the bosses. Path of Matth has a guide that has incredible detail even down to which gems to take from which quests for noobs like me all the way to end game high details for the pros. I am going to try your build out for tthe 3.18 launch and use your POB guide. Thanks so much for putting this together man. I liked and subscribed. Looking forward to running the build and getting phat loots and killing big baddy bosses.
How do I craft the Helmet for Medium budget? I checked craftofexile and I just don't get the trick. Buying one similar to the listed one is insanely expensive. Just the helmet base with the enchant is 6+Ex.
The work that's been put into the PoB is amazingly helpful. Thank you for that. In the Maven showcase, do you have an Enlighten with the auras? And if so, is that calculated into the 1ex budget? Thank you for the time you spend to help us who can't make our own builds!
@@pathofmatth its pretty hard to fit all those auras now without ashe of the stars... I dropped grace so I can run Herald of Purity for more dps do u have any idea how to improve it?
Hi @Path of Matth, i feel like i am dying a lot with the high budget version of this build (around 4k life). Is there anything i can change to improve the issue?
I took a look at the higher budget version and I'm thinking that once you're bossing you could run zealotry in your main aura link and then boost your oneshot further by running pride/divine blessing/enlighten. The Eldritch Battery + Enlighten should just about keep it castable. If you don't care about the divine blessing aura effect you could swap them of course. Thoughts?
Hello! Sorry for the noob question, but why does the skin of the lords need minion instability? I saw that it costs 8ex this league I just want to know the need for it? Thanks!
i swapped to cold iron point at lvl 62 and now im doing no damage anymore with seismic and exsanguinate. how is that even possible. are they not supposed to do physical dmg?
Играл по этому билду предыдущую лигу. За 2 дня закрыл сюжетку и весь атлас полностью одев финальную версию к закрытию карт. Сказать что я был в шоке ничего не сказать) До этого стартовал и на циклонах и на горящей стреле когда она была имбой и на спектрах когда они опять же были метой и никогда ещё так быстро и просто атлас не закрывался. Но важное уточнение к моменту выхода в атлас я взял уникальный шлем чайка и под него прокачал дерево атласа, что и позволило буквально лететь по картам. К выходу на т16 взял ноды на дроп карт гвардов и с их продажи переодел 2 раза билд сначала на среднюю версию, потом на топ, даже никаким целевым фармом лиг механик не занимался не считая метаморфа который капец какой неприбыльный оказался(
Can someone help me understand why I cannot run all of the auras? I can use all but there's not enough mana for defiance banner. I have 2 circle rings with 38 and 39 reservation efficiency, a 17% reservation on the ashes and a level 3 enlighten (4 with diadem's +1 lvl).. I have 18 unreserved mana which isnt enough but according to matth's math it should've..
I don`t get how no additional regrets are necessary for the phys respec. I can't refund the 14 skill points Matth is pointing to because it breaks the connection to the skill points in the top right. To me it looks like I would have to set up a connection with the top right part through the physical nodes first before i can refund, which costs around 12 points. May be I just don`t understand how to go about respeccing efficiently.
Large cluster: Harvest reforge phys OR jagged fossil. ilv50+ Medium cluster: Alt/Aug + Regal is cheapest option for crafting on your own. "Guerilla Tactics" (ilv50+) is much easier to roll than "Arcane Pyrotechnics" (ilv68+). Jagged fossil looks like a good option for crafting - 12 tries or so to get the version without Force Multiplier, 20-30 tries to get the version with it.
If you can't push hard on a league start is it worth doing a build like this that is focused on clearing endgame bosses early on to get an economy boost. Or would any build be the same if you can only play casually and cannot take advantage of early league economy.
You need to kill bosses to unlock the voidstones to upgrade your atlas and get better map drops. You also need to kill different bosses to unlock favored map slots and to get atlas passive points. For me I want to do these things before making currency through some mapping strategy, so even if you are slower it is nice to be able to kill bosses early.
Thank you for the help the one Pob really helps I was practice leveling it using the old pob and the improvement is more than noticable. One question do you use flask or any skill for phasing while mapping, cause I leveled and tested it in maps and in the harbi boss it struggles. Also do you use frost bomb for invitations or the dmg is more than even with maven heal? Take care and thank you for everything.
Thank you so much for your great guides! I had one question idk if anyone can answer: Why trap medium clusters over crit clusters(basics of pain + pressure points) ? I see different people recommending different ones (or a mix) and pob seems to think the crit ones are slightly more dmg overall?
If you are going for PoB warrior and want max sheet dps, sure that would be the way to go, but as explained in the video, set and forget and guerilla tactics are used for QoL AND good damage. However, when trying to maximize PoB dps, the double dps from pressure points does look good
Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't use explosive trap as the 'normal' trap instead of exsanguinate traps while bossing? Would it be strictly better?
given that we are going through the crit nodes and up to the life, the phys nodes are actually fine, no real reason to go through the dex nodes until you eldritch battery as you will be changing your pathing when dropping Master of Blades
Great Video and POB - i really appreciate your awesome work ! Your POB ends with Lvl 93 - any recommendations where to spent the points in over that level ? Why are you using "whirling blades" ?
Thanks for all the work, I will prob play this build..but also skelly mages alongside. In terms of "faster" should i level both like 5 acts the first one, then 5 acts 2nd one for the gear or just keep focused on one to start?
Btw, your estimates on how expensive stuff is, is kinda off lol, BUT nobody can predict price of things before league start, i will say that ashes of stars is now a 38ex amulet lmao
Thanks again for the guide. I always play trapper / miner in poe. One question i still have is why you dont go for 2 clusters for really really endgame? Would rly rly like to have a comment about it from a pro. Also what about alternate quality for exsang. and other gems and awakened gems in endgamesetup?
Hey all, i am prettty new in trappers and early in the build. How do you trigger the mines without triggering them manully, or do you trigger them with spamming the D button?
A lot of people remap it to the space bar. You can also map it to left click and it will detonate when you walk although it makes it harder to hit bosses while running around them.
Just gonna point out that if you finagle the tree a little and get some mana reservation early, you can swap over to phys in act 9 instead of in early maps, and with just a tiny amount of preplanning it doesn't take too many regrets for a starter build. I league started this in both of the last two leagues and swapped in act 9 and it was fine.
Guys, what am I missing mechanically? I throw Seismic Trap in front of me or the enemy, and it either never explodes, or totally misses them. And then sometimes, it kills bosses very quickly.
Thanks a lot for the guide! I played this build last league and prettty liked it so possibly will start 3.18 with this one. I have a favor to ask: my friend has very low end pc and cant handle lightning strike or even venom gyre str stacker. He was playing general cry last league, pushed it tio like 100 mil dps but was very squishy. What can you recommend for him to start with? Which is again not very heavy on effects and has good survivability because i can imagine him blindly speccing into uber fights and trying to tackle them. Thanks in advance, hope you got a good sleep.
Great video math. I have seriously been considering playing seismic trap this league and looking at the different ways people play it. Do you have any thoughts on the poison version?
I've played seismic trap for several leagues straight and played it during the gauntlet so can comment on this. The poison variant exists to better scale damage when you need to prioritize defense. It's mostly for HC or SSF. It's easier to scale damage on an extreme budget for poison, but you can't scale it very high compared to phys, so for trade league it isn't at all worth doing poison imo.
@@keccakec Thanks for the insight. I was actually specifically looking at gauntlet builds pobs since I hate dying with a passion lmao. How well does it do vs end game bosses with around 100k damage poison?
Is a Skin of the Lords with "Minion Instability" the only one that is viable? As far as I can see on trade all the other notables have downsides for this build.
Hey man. In the large cluster setup there's still the "you deal 40% increased dmg with skills that cost life" on blade mastery. But our skills don't cost life anymore because devouring. Where do we spend that skillpoint?
@@pathofmatth Yeah when you click the "large cluster tree" and then check will of blades it has the life cost mastery still there. Do we still use that even though you got diadem at that point?
Hi im follow your guide .. im lvl 40 but i cant use grace determination and skibotters at the same Time … and also… exsanguinate doesnt has damage :/ please help
Hey, nice guide as usual, very informative! Do you think it's worth to go farming at A9 to get some levels/gem levels/Tabula going with this build, or it's better to rush to maps and build up some currency there? If rush is the answer, would a correct 5L with life/res be enough in early maps scenario?
Where is the PoB getting its damage from? I only enabled the "Prior to Devouring Diadem" skills. Reduced all gems to lvl 14 or lower. I took off AII gear/flask and equipped only 2 Lifesprig wands, used the Blood Aqueducts tree (only 71 pts), removed all frenzy, power chargers, and lifetap, removed everything else in the calculations tab, and this thing is still saying I'm doing 125k DPS.
As someone relatively new to PoE, these guides immensely helpful, especially with so much info contained in one spot. Thanks a bunch! I have a question regarding combat mechanics with traps. Having tested traps while leveling recently, I'm struggling to stay on the move while accurately casting/detonating the traps. I've seen other TH-camrs (shoutouts to Imexile) that show it's possible to stutterstep/orbwalk while throwing and detonating these, yet I haven't figured out how. At present I've been using Detonate bound to left-click and it still feels like I'm stationary for too long. Any tips?
That's skin of the loyal / lords, requires you to have corrupted gems. I didn't put that corrupted in the POB, just throw a vaal orb at all your gems when you get your Skin and call it a day, especially early on, you can lvl or buy lvl 21 gems later

@@DonskoyRoman Yes. He said the he would have the pob/guide? in the first week of the league.

Just wanna say I greatly appreciate the effort you put into your POBs. Having all budgets and upgrades in one saves so much time and effort. Keep up the great work!

Hi MattH! I liked the high budget Eldritch Battery version, but Enlighten 4 makes it too expensive for me. I found a much cheaper alternative that uses the same auras and only does slightly less damage. You need:
* 75% reservation efficiency Herald of Purity helm enchant on the Devouring Diadem - not too expensive
* Jewels with a total of 8% increased reservation efficiency
* 2x Enlighten 3 (saves about 20 ex vs level 4)
* Sovereignty anointment for your amulet - any amulet will work, no need for Ashes of the Stars
* Skill tree as per high budget version
If you do it right, you will have exactly 100% reserved mana and you can run Grace, Determination, Defiance Banner, Skitterbots, Pride and Herald of Purity. This also enables you to use rare rings rather than Circle of Guilt, which makes it much easier to cap your resists.
Nuts. Thank you!
mind to link your pob or char name?
How many jewels with the Increased reservation efficiency?
@@tylerw4069 guess he never comes back... but we can only equip one conquerors efficiency, so this does not work
@@edupagodinho Ah damn, appreciate it though mate
I love builds like this where every upgrade you acquire makes the build feels that much better/smoother.
Hi Matth , i found very good replacement for Inertia : Lethal pride KAOM. I placed it above the Herbalism cluster on the right side and it gives me 78 STR:
2x +20 STR on 2 noteables
5x +2 on all small DEX nods
7x +4 on small cluster nodes
Its much less , but if this is enough to meet gear requirement , you still have the DEX from the small nodes and other noteable can give 20%increase armor, 1% life regen etc

thank you sir! to be fair, I've played this for like 2-3 leagues now, so I know more and more about it everytime

May be I just don`t understand how to go about respeccing efficiently.
Can the clusters for this be cheese crafted with harvest at all or are they just alt spammed?
Large cluster: Harvest reforge phys OR jagged fossil. ilv50+
Medium cluster: Alt/Aug + Regal is cheapest option for crafting on your own. "Guerilla Tactics" (ilv50+) is much easier to roll than "Arcane Pyrotechnics" (ilv68+).
Jagged fossil looks like a good option for crafting - 12 tries or so to get the version without Force Multiplier, 20-30 tries to get the version with it.
On the high budget end, how does it compare to a poison variation?
If you can't push hard on a league start is it worth doing a build like this that is focused on clearing endgame bosses early on to get an economy boost.
Or would any build be the same if you can only play casually and cannot take advantage of early league economy.
You need to kill bosses to unlock the voidstones to upgrade your atlas and get better map drops. You also need to kill different bosses to unlock favored map slots and to get atlas passive points. For me I want to do these things before making currency through some mapping strategy, so even if you are slower it is nice to be able to kill bosses early.
Do you have a loot filter for this build as well? Leveling and mid/end?
Why is the resistance not capped and really low at high tier is it because of spell suppression?
Thank you for the help the one Pob really helps I was practice leveling it using the old pob and the improvement is more than noticable. One question do you use flask or any skill for phasing while mapping, cause I leveled and tested it in maps and in the harbi boss it struggles. Also do you use frost bomb for invitations or the dmg is more than even with maven heal? Take care and thank you for everything.
ye frostbomb is there to prevent maven regen, and you can change any flask to a quartz if you feel the need, sure!
so happy to see you release a new video, thanks!
Thank you so much for your great guides! I had one question idk if anyone can answer: Why trap medium clusters over crit clusters(basics of pain + pressure points) ? I see different people recommending different ones (or a mix) and pob seems to think the crit ones are slightly more dmg overall?
If you are going for PoB warrior and want max sheet dps, sure that would be the way to go, but as explained in the video, set and forget and guerilla tactics are used for QoL AND good damage. However, when trying to maximize PoB dps, the double dps from pressure points does look good
Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't use explosive trap as the 'normal' trap instead of exsanguinate traps while bossing? Would it be strictly better?
explosive trap is fire damage, but you scale phys damage and exsanguinate is phys damage.
What do you think of the poison phys traps? Are they better or worse?
Hey, is it really worth respec to phys/chaos start nodes from ele ? Wouldn't it be better to pick dex nodes right away ?
given that we are going through the crit nodes and up to the life, the phys nodes are actually fine, no real reason to go through the dex nodes until you eldritch battery as you will be changing your pathing when dropping Master of Blades
Thanks for the build guide Matt.
Is there any good lvl lootfilter out there? the races ones kinda suck on trapper :/
Great Video and POB - i really appreciate your awesome work !
Your POB ends with Lvl 93 - any recommendations where to spent the points in over that level ?
Why are you using "whirling blades" ?
Thanks for all the work, I will prob play this build..but also skelly mages alongside. In terms of "faster" should i level both like 5 acts the first one, then 5 acts 2nd one for the gear or just keep focused on one to start?
Looks like a nice boss killer. Anyway to get chaos res up? Just investment?
what would you say about poison version compared to this one, especially min max?
Btw, your estimates on how expensive stuff is, is kinda off lol, BUT nobody can predict price of things before league start, i will say that ashes of stars is now a 38ex amulet lmao
Is level 27 pride stronger than level 21 summon skitterbots for this?
im attempting to play this with a aurabot do you think this is workable if i attempt to league start a non-pure phys variant?
very great guide, what do you think of the poison variant we saw on the gauntlet?
Thanks again for the guide. I always play trapper / miner in poe. One question i still have is why you dont go for 2 clusters for really really endgame? Would rly rly like to have a comment about it from a pro. Also what about alternate quality for exsang. and other gems and awakened gems in endgamesetup?
You can but double cluster makes it very hard to get everything you need like suppression, attributes and whatnot
Hey all, i am prettty new in trappers and early in the build. How do you trigger the mines without triggering them manully, or do you trigger them with spamming the D button?
A lot of people remap it to the space bar. You can also map it to left click and it will detonate when you walk although it makes it harder to hit bosses while running around them.
how many crit chance should i have without a flask and power charges??
Just gonna point out that if you finagle the tree a little and get some mana reservation early, you can swap over to phys in act 9 instead of in early maps, and with just a tiny amount of preplanning it doesn't take too many regrets for a starter build. I league started this in both of the last two leagues and swapped in act 9 and it was fine.
Guys, what am I missing mechanically? I throw Seismic Trap in front of me or the enemy, and it either never explodes, or totally misses them. And then sometimes, it kills bosses very quickly.
What about tornado shot deadeye ??? Without omniscient amulet
That guide will be for today
@@pathofmatth u r amazing dude. Ty
Thanks a lot for the guide! I played this build last league and prettty liked it so possibly will start 3.18 with this one.
I have a favor to ask: my friend has very low end pc and cant handle lightning strike or even venom gyre str stacker. He was playing general cry last league, pushed it tio like 100 mil dps but was very squishy. What can you recommend for him to start with? Which is again not very heavy on effects and has good survivability because i can imagine him blindly speccing into uber fights and trying to tackle them. Thanks in advance, hope you got a good sleep.
Great video math. I have seriously been considering playing seismic trap this league and looking at the different ways people play it. Do you have any thoughts on the poison version?
I've played seismic trap for several leagues straight and played it during the gauntlet so can comment on this.
The poison variant exists to better scale damage when you need to prioritize defense. It's mostly for HC or SSF. It's easier to scale damage on an extreme budget for poison, but you can't scale it very high compared to phys, so for trade league it isn't at all worth doing poison imo.
@@keccakec Thanks for the insight. I was actually specifically looking at gauntlet builds pobs since I hate dying with a passion lmao. How well does it do vs end game bosses with around 100k damage poison?
Is a Skin of the Lords with "Minion Instability" the only one that is viable? As far as I can see on trade all the other notables have downsides for this build.
There are others. Picked one up with Divine Shield
what itemfilter should i use for leveling and maps?
Hey man. In the large cluster setup there's still the "you deal 40% increased dmg with skills that cost life" on blade mastery. But our skills don't cost life anymore because devouring. Where do we spend that skillpoint?
Did you change the tree to reflect the investment level?
@@pathofmatth Yeah when you click the "large cluster tree" and then check will of blades it has the life cost mastery still there. Do we still use that even though you got diadem at that point?
Hi im follow your guide .. im lvl 40 but i cant use grace determination and skibotters at the same
Time … and also… exsanguinate doesnt has damage :/ please help
Hey i have a Question whats better for League Start(for currency), farm bosses(sirus, maven, etc.) or mapping?
1. Heist 2. Mapping with focus farm and changing passive tree based on economy 3. Bossing (without providing carry service)
Hey, nice guide as usual, very informative! Do you think it's worth to go farming at A9 to get some levels/gem levels/Tabula going with this build, or it's better to rush to maps and build up some currency there? If rush is the answer, would a correct 5L with life/res be enough in early maps scenario?
Rush maps and get chaos recipe going, you will get tabula in no time and some chaos for cheap uniques
Chaos recipe is the better move
Hi Matth. Thanks for the video. Can this be started as an Ascendant? Or is any other starter viable as a Scion? :)
Where is the PoB getting its damage from? I only enabled the "Prior to Devouring Diadem" skills. Reduced all gems to lvl 14 or lower. I took off AII gear/flask and equipped only 2 Lifesprig wands, used the Blood Aqueducts tree (only 71 pts), removed all frenzy, power chargers, and lifetap, removed everything else in the calculations tab, and this thing is still saying I'm doing 125k DPS.
I mean 125k isn't exactly a lot
What spell can you use for leveling that is not a mine ?
Hey guys, why "spelldamage" corruption on cold iron point? i dont get it..noob here :D
How do i get a Skin of the Lord with 3G 2B 1R with any keystone that does not give shitty effects.
None with minion instability exist.
Look for 3B 2G 1R instead and swap trap and mine DMG for increased Crit DMG , was much cheaper for me last night.
Can anyone tell me how he deals with effects on the ground, i dip my toes in something and im insta dead =(
As someone relatively new to PoE, these guides immensely helpful, especially with so much info contained in one spot. Thanks a bunch!
I have a question regarding combat mechanics with traps. Having tested traps while leveling recently, I'm struggling to stay on the move while accurately casting/detonating the traps. I've seen other TH-camrs (shoutouts to Imexile) that show it's possible to stutterstep/orbwalk while throwing and detonating these, yet I haven't figured out how. At present I've been using Detonate bound to left-click and it still feels like I'm stationary for too long. Any tips?
you do not have to detonate traps, only mines
Why does Skin of the lords have minion instability? How is it supposed to work with traps?
You just take One Node that doesnt Fuck you up. Its hard enough and expensiv af cause of the colors
One thing i dont understand is the chest piece, it says only corrupted gems, the gems in pob arent corrupted. do i miss something?
That's skin of the loyal / lords, requires you to have corrupted gems. I didn't put that corrupted in the POB, just throw a vaal orb at all your gems when you get your Skin and call it a day, especially early on, you can lvl or buy lvl 21 gems later
@@pathofmatth thanks !
