POE 3.6 Trickster - Storm Burst + Cast while Channelling + Arc Build


The build has insane damage with great survivability! This build is great for softcore and potentially HC if you wanted to take it to that route. SSF might be a bit challenging for the weapon + shield combo as well as the gloves and rings, but it's definitely worth a try.

The fundamental idea of the build is to be lightning focused with Storm Burst. There's quite a few Storm Burst builds out there, but I wanted to put my spin on it. So I decided to try Cast while Channelling with Arc. While Arc did indeed get nerfed, it's still a decent skill and it helps with clearing maps.

The idea is to have Arc consistently shock enemies and help clear maps while Storm Burst does all the phatty damage. It takes about two seconds to ramp up Storm Burst and start melting bosses. Storm Burst works by channeling the skill obviously, and the longer we channel the more balls that will appear and explode, kind of like Blade Vortex  (Blade Vortex Builds)or Summon Raging Spirit. So, that's why we take increased skill effect duration nodes on the passive tree and have it on our boots as it means we have more balls exploding, and thus increasing the damage output of Storm Burst.

Pros & Cons:
+ High Effective HP.
+ Can do Phys Reflect maps.
+ Can do No Life/Mana regen maps.
+ Life and Energy Shield Leech with Blind and Taste of Hate combined help with survivability and sustain.
+ Can be budget friendly.
+ Plenty of mobility allowing you to zoom through areas.
+ Insane single-target damage.
- Can't do Ele Reflect maps.
- Uber Atziri has 2% inherit reflect, so it's easy to kill yourself on the boss. Still killable, just annoying.
- Semi-Flexible gearing options.
- Can get destroyed by Chaos Damage and any DoT's like Ignite can be nasty.
- Not the most zoom clear speed
