Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Trap builds are stronger than ever and are very cheap to build around. If you don’t have lots of currency to experiment with, or, you are just starting either in new league or standard, you can’t go wrong with traps since they just work with literally any gear.
Build Pros
- Very safe
- High effective life pool
- Very cheap, great build to start in fresh league/economy
- High damage
Build Cons
- Some people dislike trap gameplay
