Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
If you don’t like to get up close to the monsters and rather explode them from the distance, this build might be for you. The build uses 2 kinds of traps, Lightning trap is used for map clearing, while Lightning Spire trap takes care of very tanky boss encounters. Thanks to Tinkerskin unique chest this build uses, we generate frenzy charges, gain phasing and recover life and energy shield on trap triggers which makes this build VERY safe and it excels at killing bosses.
Build Pros
- Cheap, you can play this build with whatever items you pick up from the ground
- Requires no unique items to function
- SSF viable
- Very safe gameplay
- Great clear speed
- Can do every single map mod
- Great build for boss killing
Build Cons
- Let me know
