(2.6 Build Concept) Occultist Soul Strike EK Poison Nova Trapper
Wanted to share this idea for a build using the newly revealed Ring of Blades Unique Jewel (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1834597), which causes EK to fire in a nova with 10 additional projectiles. There is this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CziovuxBQxY) which shows EK being used in a sire of shards setup; it seems to have decent converage and clear speed. Because of this I thought it'd be perfect for a trap setup to give a little bit of range and stack on the double dips. We'd go occultist for the chaos multipliers and soul strike/wicked ward combo, which will be back to OP levels with Legacy Soul Strike available.
Uniques I'd plan on using would be:
Soul Strike
Roth's Reach + Vaal Regalia (~12k ES) or Darkscorn + Incandescent Heart (~10k ES) with CI
Roth's Reach would probably be better for clearing but pierce setup will have higher single target
3x Coated Shrapnel + Ring of Blades
For gem links - EK - Trap - Multiple Traps - Pierce - Void Manip - Trap and Mine Damage
Temp Chains on blasphemy
Tree: http://poeurl.com/28x I'd take Wicked Ward - Vile Bastion - Profane Bloom - Void Beacon. Vile Bastion stun immunity should be up nearly all the time due to the crazy ES recharge.
With this setup I'm getting 80k average damage (inc poison) per trap unflasked, and twice that with atziri's/sin's rebirth. With wither at max stacks with Atziri's/Sin's for single target it goes up to 250k per trap (750k if all 3 traps hit).
