EB and Traps

[lyvewyre]

So I was thinking of doing a traps character for fun seeing as I haven't played it since beta/release time. I did attempt one awhile ago but quickly realised EB didn't handle multiple trap skills well so ditched it.

Just curious if anyone has been able to get a good trapper going and what settings they used in EB to achieve?

It's gotta be a custom CR, sec let me see if I can dig up one for you. Trap + Prolif back in the day, I think I used it for exploding zombies too.
The new meta is trap double dip poision/chaos no?

It's currently the strongest skill in the game due to the broken poison mechanics (trap poisonstorm).
It will be patched next league, but now would be the perfect time to take advantage of it, and I totally would if there was a decent profile.

If anyone is intersted in the build :

Pretty much what Pochizzle said. The massive stack of more multipliers along with how a binos works you can get massive regen while still on the move (I've seen on vids where you still get the bino regen because the mob died while poisoned, how it got poisoned seems irrelevant).

But yeah, Rory said on a recent Podcast they will be 'fixing' the double dipping of poison, but are not making changes till next season/Ascendency.

However, with the new Cluster Traps / Frost Traps as well as saboteur shadow class, got a hunch that traps will be very meta in the new expac, especially with the gauntlet thing (being able to dps and constantly move).
