CRUSHING T17 Juiced Maps - Kinetic Blast Trickster Build Guide 3.25

[@MrTreefrog98]

Love your build philosophy. Its so hard finding medium budget builds!!!

[@Lordbobbo]

I’ve been playing around 5 leagues or so and always followed RF. I was never able to beat any Ubers let alone get all 4 stones. I had a little over 100 div this league and followed your firestorm video and Pob guide. Holy shit it’s amazing! I’m following your builds for now on. I’m totally comfortable farming 100 divs in a season with RF so thank you sir! You’ve opened up a lot of the game to me I didn’t know about! I’m also a lot more comfortable with crafting now.

[@phoenixshade001]

Any creator that keeps people who are not no-lifing a game in mind by making budget considerations is an instant sub for me.

[@The1rust]

That and a league which is quite generous when it comes to providing you with a semi-steady stream of divs as well as other base currencies and items worth trading to help elevate even casual players to hit a higher potential without feeling like a huge investment. Even in SSF, this league has been a blessing.

[@guy0203]

You're right. Now that I think about it, I really do appreciate that. I will also sub.

[@Lordrakeenov]

Had a blast playing your firestorm build. Lovely template, converted to a tornado mapper after bossing for a while. Keep it up!

[@BigDucks]

Glad you enjoyed it! I've seen a few people playing some Alt Tornado with the helmet and it looks fun

[@SuperNova2131]

Hey Mr. Duck. Thank you for the fantastic build. It has been an absolute blast. I'm running through T17s doing Fubgun's Cheap Strongbox strat with no issues at all. Have a fantastic weekend!

[@BigDucks]

Glad it's working for you!

[@TheJansensk]

Hey hey, you mean the low invest strongbox strat from maxroll? Are you doing t16 or t17? I just started grinding ancient city to scry it to jungle valley and wanted to know if the low invest is even worth it

[@dzsordzsisoros685]

For anyone wondering where the pob is, it's in the first link in the description you just need to scroll down a bit on that site the link opens

[@ashfaq7812638]

I want to thank you a lot man. I've been playing path of exile since maybe 2014 and this build is mind blowing. It really suits my style of play and it is really affordable way below 100 divs. I spent maybe 10 divs and i just completes my first tier 17 easily.

[@CalicoArchives]

You're really good at explaining things and providing information on how to craft is awesome. This is the kind of quality content I'm looking for. 👍

[@KrellsKorner]

Love the way you explain everything as well as actual showcase the build. Good work and you got a new follower here! Keep up the good work!

[@flgh366]

Thx Mr. BD.. Your builds are so much fun to play and veryeasy to follow guides.. I have missed KB since your Deadeye in 3.23 i think it was that blinded the screen with white projectiles, it was so much fun to facetank bosses and just annihilate.. This late in the league i got a decent amount of currency, and was bored with my 4 other chars,so i will lvl a trickster to try this one out.. Keep up the good work

[@LeagueRandomPlayer]

you put a lot of love to your builds man, congratz dude! quality content

[@OrcunO]

I did try the build in these late economy just before Settlers 2.0 event. So I didnt craft anything , just bought whatever I got , spent around 100 divs. Build is nearly immortal at 8 mod T16 (just avoiding ele reflect and block mod) and oneshotting 2 screens away everything. t17s are at the comfort level , very tanky map blaster. Kinda like old CF Champ but it think its better. But I dont know what will happen after 3.25 , without Svalinn and maybe after some ES nerfs. Its a good all around tanky and fast map blaster zoom zoom pew build. Thank you Duck

[@ciprianpeter7758]

Got bored of my RF Chieftain after more of less min maxing it and I rerolled this, I LOVE IT, the feel of exploding screens with KB never gets old

[@neogramps]

Great stuff as always dude; was looking for a trickster to round out the league and I love a good KB build

[@velzanna2281]

I loved your KB build in Affliction, and even though I’m 40/40 I kinda wanna keep playing. And I love a trickster build!

[@LeCrapaud-sy1xu]

Looks like a great build, thanks

[@shadowsoze]

Damn I was looking for something new to try because I’m starting to get tired of mines, and I just came across this, it piqued my interest but the fact you dropped everything on obsidian too as I’m learning that as well, insta sub, thanks for the inspiration!

[@BigDucks]

I think locus mines is really powerful but I don't enjoy the playstyle. I wanted a classic wander feel here.

[@da3driccax327]

Fire build as always from you

[@saiteja5203]

Thanks for creating this build video

[@malgeo318]

Ducks I love your streams and I love your builds. It does suck that these kinds of build guides always come out when people are done with the league. Like this is a great 2nd build after a league starter but the tech just isnt figured out a week into the league. and by the time of the next league either they change the skill or something breaks the build and we start from 0. It seems like fun to play though. Great video!

[@BigDucks]

Yeah... lol I'm hoping it lasts into the next league cause the tornado tech is really cool. I'll probably put something together for next league if everything survives!

[@stefanodelucapiragine536]

Great build, nice tank and clear

[@MrGruxLike]

You know it's gonna be expensive when blud adds "not crazy expensive" in the title

[@CrisHermetica]

Nice build, i'll subscribe so i can check your builds on future leagues, for now i'll stay with my BAMA because you know, it's hard to play something else when the build is already broken lol

[@janilohtander5808]

Thoughts on added hh or mageblood ?

[@garowsa9818]

Cool build costed me only 7 div and now I'm doing maps 16th

[@dennislintvelt4418]

I got it going for a smidge under 100div and i can clear tier17 content easier than on my previous ES stacking LS build. Cheaper too. Sure LS had more single target damage, but map clear is much much better.

[@BigDucks]

Glad it's working for you!

[@Kukri63]

ill be honest, i was pretty sceptical about ducks builds, especially cus im playing hc but this guide holy fuck how much time and effort puted in it im going to try it right now, thanks man for such a great job

[@BigDucks]

Be warned that I do not make my builds for HC and don't take those considerations into mind. This build is very tanky in general but it is not designed to always survive. The phys max hit is only around 15k to 20k and you will occasionally get one shot in very difficult content.

[@Kukri63]

@@BigDucks 80/80 block is so powerful that i have 6 chars on hc this league and non of them had any close calls. Thats why im looking specifically for high block builds. And i had an idea about crabs, cus very strong sinergy with blocks. 15k pmh is enough for hc with such block imo I can say that 80/80 is enough this league for mapping on hc without any other aura. Or grace and 30k ev + 50/80 (tested this too) Block is only for maps cus there are plenty of abilities on pinnacles that you cant block

[@wettoification]

HI, just trying to figure out, You use immortal call, but don't see it in the POE, not sure what to do here, but keen to try this build with the new reset.

[@dannyvanbogaert8047]

finishing the merc lab with this build was one of the most painfull experiences since playing POE, dying endless becoming frustrated as a result, wich leaded to careless gameplay, ruined keyboards, fractured skull from bashing my head into the wall and a beaten up wife... To say it was fuck hard is an understatement...

[@Osiris57]

Dying from bleeds ? I leveled to 80+ with Hollow palm and just destroyed izaro, but make sure you have bleed flasks and use the correct pantheons

[@WrathEE]

Will you be playing 3.25v2? Got a decent leveling filter ?

[@dannilsenphotography]

This is my first league. When should you be transitioning from lets say early leveling to budget then to base etc. Should you be waiting until you have all the gear then make the full swap? I am in early leveling but bought the girded tower shield but I am not using it yet.

[@no.uhmccave]

Is this a viable league starter? Is there a good leveling PoB for this?

[@MikeS-xl9qw]

Can we add some ice explosions somehow into this without loosing much of the defense? I am lagging as hell with HH when i farm breaches and the dont die as fast. ice explosions wold help so much, or even fire explosions from Herald of Ash maybe? Any advice

[@animatekkaos2243]

Just finished putting this nuild together and i got to say that it's really fun to play, even if my PC dtruggles a bit in juiced maps! 😂 What could be a good middle-of-the-road upgrade path to follow before thinking about pivoting to an INT stack version?

[@NathanPsprague]

I've been a sub and have watched many of your videos. Im gonna give this one a try. I've been playing Bonezone Jugg this league and I am ready for a change. I have about 150d to invest. Be ready for a load of questions from me in your discord 😅 Thanks for your guide!

[@rodd9734]

What MTX are you using for kinetic blast?

[@madhatten5123]

I really hope Trickster survives into next patch and locus mines PS survives I really want to start that then transition into omega int stack wanding goodness

[@WrathEE]

Can this be done with a Heiro? Albeit less tanky ?

[@wildcat31772]

Is there a loot filter for this? I have the build page open and don't see one.

[@ArrowDeath_tv]

WHERE IS THE LINK TO POB DUDE?

[@jackbauer2698]

Svalinn on std 300d... aight, Imma head out.

[@counterhit121]

Have been thinking about this build a lot as my trickster finishes the campaign. Whats better ROI for my trickster with 70ish div, a mageblood, & progensis? This, LS, or flicker? Also what do uou think about kinetic blast of clustering vs regular kinetic blast?

[@Isoomax]

can i use a headhunter for this build?

[@TheJansensk]

i do and its really pushing my pc (4080, 7500x3d, 64gig ram) to its absolute limits and crashing from time to time

[@ginjakes6812]

does the build better using mageblood instead of darkness enthroned?

[@wellendowedplatypus9024]

Now this tech looks mighty interesting. I've been using tornado linked to arcanist brand and it seems to do a decent job but I need to try if 1 pierce would improve the damage output. Unfortunately, my only option would be spending 2 passive points and I am really starved for those...

[@ThanhPham-hg8yg]

How about spellinger+tornado with notable that projectiles have 50% chance to fork another time ?!?!😆 but if u dont want, then find 1 open prefix to craft +1 aoe and +1 pierce on your gloves

[@wellendowedplatypus9024]

@@ThanhPham-hg8yg Gloves are Shaper's Touch, so not possible. I do not know which notable you are speaking of, and I am not using Fork anyway.

[@ThanhPham-hg8yg]

@@wellendowedplatypus9024 that note is last note from cluster which nearby Acrobatic keystone. If u do Aoe dmg with kinetic blash or kinetic blast of clustering,it will boost clearing speed a ton if u have enough aoe then u can overlap dmg as well😆

[@wellendowedplatypus9024]

​@@ThanhPham-hg8yg You mean Split Shot? It's "projectiles have 50% chance for an additional projectile when forking", meaning getting 2.75 (with the small nodes before it) projectiles instead of 2 on average. If I WERE using a source of Fork, which I am not, this would improve it. Otherwise, it does not give anything to me.

[@mattl1807]

What a coincidence. I was just thinking about making a new character with a budget of 100 div

[@zonkedfate88]

Where pob ?

[@ShinsTheMan]

so youtube doesnt let me see your vid. too bad. i was interested

[@YeesuJeju]

Hello great inventor, may I ask whether I can use mage blood instead of current belt? You video is suck a great !

[@BigDucks]

You can use it, just optimize the gear a little around having extra res and swap to mageblood versions of the flasks. You can also use a silver instead of a quicksilver if you like

[@taylorhayter2835]

Where does the +1 pierce come from????

[@KANCIAPAGAMINGROOM]

What map mods I should avoid with this map? I run t16 strand and usally it's ok no problem but sometimes I'm just one shotted :////

[@aryramirez2299]

Hi! Nice build, can use a mb?

[@Almog92]

the only thing that is stopping me from playing this is basicly the low Block chance you got , if you could get more Block that would make ur EHP from like 250k ehp to 400k ehp .. i know its front line defense but let me tell you my current build used to has low block chance like u and i use to die every 2-4 maps , now its maxed at 87% i think and i haven't died from lvl 97 to 100 :)

[@BigDucks]

You can get more block if you want, it will just lower your damage. I balanced the block to a point where I died very infrequently and then pumped damage. If you want more block go for more block oriented cluster Jewels and find space for replica reckless defense jewels

[@Almog92]

@BigDucks you are losing alot. 87% block is crazy.op

[@FlareFluff]

Finally, somone whos not like "step 1 get a mageblood"

[@jackbauer2698]

Finally someone who's not like get mageblood for 150d. They're like get svalinn for 300d instead.

[@bdmoAbel]

Hi. can this do all mods in t16? Thankyou. Great Video as always.

[@choppieandjakie5962]

What would you recommend on the gearing if i have more budget to spend ?

[@TheJansensk]

i was also wondering. i think WAY more budget would be int stack territory. i went with a 120div wand with the ghost implicit for now

[@chowkit1989]

thank you for the video. Do you think this can be league starter and what if we dont have this shield in next league?

[@BigDucks]

League start might be rough because the items for it are not cheap by any means early league. As for the shield, who knows what will happen to it.

[@JoseiltonCorreia]

Sorry but I couldn't find you POB link

[@GluttonyX2]

bro i like this build but i have question, elements resis (i new player). What does it affect? (in pob 180+ all elements resis)

[@revelmania]

Is it worth using the haunted craft over the spell damage craft for the wand if I can afford it? Is there a noticeable difference in dmg or clear?

[@TheJansensk]

yes, if you can get a good wand with the implicit its definitely worth it

[@SeanMasters]

Not sure I "get" the PoB. There are two 6L KBs marked as Full DPS. Is that to track the additional damage from KBs bouncing off the Tornado?

[@BigDucks]

Correct

[@SeanMasters]

@@BigDucks thanks for clarifying!

[@dariuxd9269]

What about a Blast Rain Phys build, haven't seen one of those in while.

Could Nimis + GMP work?

[@drinkincaprisun788]

Can i use mageblood on this build?

[@anelka2222]

Got a more expensive pob?

[@Athacalus]

Damn, I now have a problem - should I go for immortal Trickster with perma Ward (once in a time opportunity this league) or do this to (at last) farm uber bosses and T17. Question: how performance heavy is this build? If I don't move (because of lag of death), will I die? Currently I play defensives/recovery stacking RF (leech from enemies, leech from dmg taken, life on kill, life on block, recupe, petrified blood, life on stun, defiance of destiny, regeneration, immortal call, 90% rez, phys to ele conversion, max block and probably more) and I would like to have high death protection :D.

[@BigDucks]

If you stand in bad stuff you will die yeah, it's not an immortal build as it's only 80 to 100 div, but you shouldn't be dying super frequently unless you run very dangerous content rolled extremely dangerous

[@beastleemain]

Build was a ton of fun leveling. I will probably try to buy most things instead of crafting because I'm kind of a noob there. I'm having trouble with mana though. With 12% on tree, 7% on head and sublime form I still can't fit tempest shield and grace without screwing my mana. Any tips? Never played anything like this build but it's awesome.

[@BigDucks]

Double check that vitality and precision are on life

[@chesuwwi]

what would you change to upgrade the build to a 200Div version with better single target dps?

[@BigDucks]

Realistically you just need to jump to int stack, there isn't really a ton you can do to improve the damage substantially. Unfortunately thats probably more than 200 div though.

[@jameshung1648]

would it be much stronger to use Haunted by Tormented Spirits?

[@BigDucks]

Tormented spirits is very strong but the enchant costs more than the entire build

[@initforthetech790]

This game is so ridiculously difficult to understand. I love the game but just can't understand all of the extra stuff. I play on Playstation. I just want a build I can follow the path, and enjoy playing. But it seems like it's pointless to grind to the end when I have no clue how to even obtain all the stuff I'd need. Thanks for the video.

[@BigDucks]

PoE is a game where if you get frustrated at the complexity it may not be a great fit for you. For myself the complexity is exciting. The challenge of figuring out the puzzle of how to get from step A to step Z and all the steps inbetween is what does it. I can absolutely understand if it is overwhelming but that is what makes PoE unique imo

[@gabbaman18]

is it also playable with mageblood? and also i the dmg calculation per projectile?

[@BigDucks]

Mageblood works you just optimize for resists from the flasks

[@peter-kj7hc]

How much Block chance do you have? I cant see any scaling of block chance on the gear, am i missing something here?

[@BigDucks]

It's mostly from the skill tree and clusters, svalinn makes the chance lucky

[@guilhermeaugusto1160]

POB ?

[@juiby]

Maybe a silly question. But would this be viable to try and league start it for future leagues?

[@BigDucks]

League Start is a very different environment. If it looks like nothing is changing I'll put something together for next league

[@Минориус-ю4у]

Hi, thanks for the guide! And can I just but MB on it?

am I missing it where is the pob link?

[@YayJay-kk1xm]

why do you use 2 ruby flasks? did i miss something? the dying sun give the max res already

[@ofarva]

My guess is because he wants the max res up full time. The Dying Sun is only up for a short time when you hit a rare or unique enemy. Just a guess though

[@BenTheMan667]

Looking for a fun end game build on HC. Would you recommend for HC?

[@BigDucks]

Absolutely not, HC builds have different things to deal with. This build is meant to be safe most of the time but not all of the time. Definitely follow a HC creator for HC builds.

[@awildelkman]

Hey bro I'm running the build in low 90's and having fun powering thru Delve & T16s. One thing that looks different on your POB vs mine is the Max Phys hit damage is way different... I checked your Calculations section and it somehow says that Spell Suppression is helping mitigate max phys hit damage. I copied your POB and imported my character and I can't get that to show up with the same POB config. Is there some special item/skill/jewel that is helping Spell Suppression mitigate Phys Hit Damage that I'm not aware of? Since that's a big weakness of an evasion build, would be great to know. Cheers! Joby

[@BigDucks]

Spell suppression only applies to max phys hit if you have 100% chance without lucky, even 1% lower and it won't calculate it

[@awildelkman]

@@BigDucks makes sense that there are phys spells that can be suppressed, but I'm not understanding why your unlucky % chance needs to be 100% for it to show the max hit change. Is that a bug with pob? Cuz even if your suppression chance is less than 100% there should still be a chance to suppress phys spells hits, correct?

[@blakecorkill]

ok maybe this is a dumb question. You have tempest shield aura which grants immunity to shock but you have 2 jewels that have either reduced effect of shock or shock avoidance. What am I missing? Anyone?

[@TheJansensk]

stormshroud gives you reduced effect of ailments per reduced chance to be shocked, so you reach complete ailment immunity by scaling shock immunity

[@botao4456]

100d is still taking me like 15 - 20h of game playing 😂

[@samnickerson9255]

Is this a good build for tanky fun? I have been playing for many years, but ALWAYS get frustrated after reaching maps, and walk away. My latest archer clears nice, but so squishy I am nearing yet another walk away. I only hope PoE2 is better at providing a game for casuals. If you dont play 12+ hours a day, PoE1 is impossible to move forward. I just dont have the time or patience to constantly respec and rebuild while trying to make a build some lifer makes work with hundreds of divine and hours. I love my archer, but cant keep her alive to be able to move forward. You cant play PoE1 the way you WANT to, it must always be about the meta build, because of death exp loss. Great content BTW.

[@d1nro939]

12 hours? lol

[@lukasbrauneruv]

cannot you link tempest shield to brutality to not do ele dmg? or it wont work?
