PoE 3.26 | Budget Spectral Throw of Trarthus and Crafting Instructions

FearlessDumb0 2025-07-12 | Full crafting instructions can be found in the notes of the PoB. This is a minimum budget I thought the build would be viable, which at the time of recording was roughly 75 divines. I crafted the gear which will hopefully make it more resilient to price fixers.

DISCLAIMER: This is a trap build. If you don't like traps and the delayed damage, you WON'T like this build. This is the _minimum_ I would personally play the build at, the higher budget build feels considerably better.

After lots of testing over the last 8-10 days I've landed here, at one of the best trap builds I've ever played. Damage scales extremely well and tankiness is there for whatever content you want.

Damage calculation is not perfect, but it's in the neighborhood given the damage to Uber Shaper as a test dummy with 50% more HP.

Path of Exile 2: Possibly Strongest Crossbow Build? Solving Huge Endgame Damage

FearlessDumb0 2025-01-06 | Build Guide and Explanation of scaling mechanics for Crossbows, and in particular Shockburst. This setup is also full MoM and quite tanky. You can apply the same concepts to your Witch Hunter, Deadeye, or Gemling builds. The showcase build is not cheap or a starter setup, but the concepts around scaling can be applied to any crossbow build.

MY CURRENT INVESTMENT: Roughly 100-120 divines + an Astramentis which I just acquired and is overkill.

This is not a leveling guide, I'd recommend having HOWA and enough divines to grab some inexpensive stat gear. I used Gas Grenades to level because it required almost nothing to get off the ground.

Path of Exile 2: New Tech for Permanent Shock uptime on Endgame Bosses. Works on any build.

FearlessDumb0 2024-12-16 | I discovered some neat tech that gives permanent Shock uptime for builds that don't typically use Shock in their rotation thanks to a unique interaction with a couple supports and the massive shock effect multiplier on Stormcaller Arrow. Voltaic Grenade does NOT reliably apply shocks or we'd just use Stormfire there.

EDIT: 50% more damage now. You can easily get full effect by pathing over to Frazzled on the tree with weapon swap points. This works on pinnacle bosses too, I just did 2x Xesht breachstones and got 50% shock both times. LOGIN.

PoE 3.25 | Comprehensive Explosive Trap of Shrapnel Trickster League Start Guide

FearlessDumb0 2024-07-24 | EDIT FOR 3.26: Full guide here youtu.be/yKTURcq1-T8?si=ZmJpPNhO_QPryFyO

One of the strongest bossing builds in Path of Exile is back AGAIN for 3.25. There has been a massive meta shake-up but Explosive Trap was largely untouched, even mostly avoiding the Hatred nerf that bit cold builds and benefiting from flat ES buffs on gear.

3.24 build guide (progression tips): youtu.be/UwRrcfcJSKI
3.23 build guide (still relevant, go here for crafts / endgame upgrades): youtu.be/LXwLgREzSOI

SSF tips: Best access to brittle will be a Leaderships Price or Galesight probably based on what I heard from SSF heist changes from others in 3.23/3.24. Corrupt any high evasion chest pieces you find looking for +2 AoE or +2 Trap or Mine gems, it’s one of your biggest upgrades.

Sanctum: I would not go into sanctum early without damage. The skill is not mechanically favorable for the content because of the way it delivers damage over 1s when the trap triggers. Something more immediate like HBM or maybe Ice Trap of Hollowness would be better.

IMPORTANT: This is not configured for HC, do not use these PoBs for HC unless you are an experienced HC player and comfortable making adjustments.

PoE 3.24 | The Fastest Trapper Ive Ever Played | How to craft my gear

FearlessDumb0 2024-04-29 | PATCH 3.25: I'll drop an update video shortly. Big changes in Wraeclast!

Hi folks, I'm back from traveling and wanted to put out one final recap video. This includes some graveyard crafts for the GG gear I'm using currently, how to upgrade your build with a Mageblood and manage trap costs, and some modifications you can make to more safely run T17s

HELMET:
Graveyard craft the Trap and Mine fracture or buy one off trade. Like anything in PoE, this is a gamble, know that you may end up having to do this more than once -- buy the fracture if you don't want the gamble. Check the prices of the fractures you drop, several are worth a fair amount and hypothermia by itself is 30 divines
Graveyard: necropolis.pathoftools.com/1603cf72-862d-4978-9110-ff27e7c3dcf7

Alternate crafting method if you hit Hypothermia by itself and don't want to sell it, similar costs:
(1) Awaken as I show in the video
(2) Horror essence once, then Exalt/Annul until you get any tier of Trap and Mine dmg. This should be roughly similar in cost, around 10-12 divines, as reforging cold to get hypothermia at current prices.
(3) Wild Bristle Matron
(4) Scour to clean prefixes
(5) Bench flat mana
(6) Exalt 2x, looking for Conc effect
(7) If you miss, GO TO (3)
(8) Bench +1 AoE gems

Alternate crafting method if you luck into Hypothermia+Trap and Mine:
(1) Awaken as I show in the video
(2) Horror essence then Exalt/Annul until Conc effect or you lose the Horror mod. If you lose Horror, use one more then keep going. This should cost very little to do, on the order of 15 or so essences and likely less
(3) Bench +1 AoE gems

PoE 3.24 | Day 1 Shrapnel Trapper - Frenzy Charges, New Unique Tech, Defenses

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-31 | Hey quick update after Day 1. I updated the league start PoB to include 4L and 5L Charged Traps setups instead of just the 6L, and I talk a bit about a 1 chaos unique that will give you a huge amount of power from white maps all the way through the rest of the Atlas, freeing up your chest for something tanky like a Tinkerskin (currently 2c), Lightning Coil (currently 5c), or Kintsugi (currently 40c).

Build Guide has been updated, but here is the same PoB for league start: https://pobb.in/y90C9PXOQaNT

PoE 3.24 | Shrapnel is still excellent for single target

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-29 | The AoE nerfs for single target seem pretty mild. Looks fine to me, I'll be full time using this then performing this test again once I hit super high budget and am ailment capping on Ubers and have more time, but I wanted to give people who didn't have a test setup a rough idea of what the new Shrapnel looks like in endgame.

I ran about 20x maven, 10x shaper, and 20x constrictors. I left out Shaper because the tests ended up being the same as Constrictor. I saw some more variance in the damage between Shrapnel than I did in 3.23, which seems likely due to the higher RNG nature of its damage with fewer overlaps. My best guess is +/- 5-10% but it's really hard to double check that without more time and I'd like to league start.

Best of luck on league start!

PoE 3.24 | Explosive Trap Trickster Pre-Launch Updates & Self-Chill

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-28 | Hello! Adding in some extra information to cover many of the questions I've been asked the last couple days and didn't quite get to in the full guide. The next video I drop will be a comparison of the Shrapnel gem in Standard once 3.24 drops.

PoE 3.24 | Comprehensive Explosive Trap of Shrapnel Trickster League Start Guide

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-27 | EDIT FOR 3.25: Looks excellent, very similar to 3.24. Very minor nerf and a lot of borrowed power incoming. Recording an update now (finally).

One of the strongest bossing builds in Path of Exile is back for 3.24, this time with Shrapnel to fix mapping weakness. Shrapnel Trap received some nerfs to overlaps and AoE leading into patch 3.24 but still looks very strong. My plan is to test it's bossing limits on opening weekend, I'll have a more concrete comparison sometime soon after league launch. Everything about the scaling and way the build works is identical for the normal gem and Shrapnel and the 3.23 build guide is still a good reference point you can use for crafting information.

3.23 build guide (still relevant, go here for crafts / endgame upgrades): youtu.be/LXwLgREzSOI

SSF tips: Best access to brittle will be a Leaderships Price or Galesight probably based on what I heard from SSF heist changes from others in 3.23. Corrupt any high evasion chest pieces you find looking for +2 AoE or +2 Trap or Mine gems, it’s one of your biggest upgrades.

Sanctum: I would not go into sanctum early without damage. The skill is not mechanically favorable for the content because of the way it delivers damage over 1s when the trap triggers. Something more immediate like HBM or maybe Ice Trap of Hollowness would be better.

IMPORTANT: This is not configured for HC, do not use these PoBs for HC unless you are an experienced HC player and comfortable making adjustments.

PoE 3.24 | Explosive Trap of Shrapnel Patch Notes

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-22 | EDIT: Build guide for 3.24 -
youtu.be/UwRrcfcJSKI

Quick overview of how the AoE changes and base phys increase affects damage and clear, along with a demonstration of exactly what the new AoE looks like on Shrapnel.

Big sad about mana for high investment.

-----------------------------------------
To calculate overlaps for Explosive Trap you calculate the area where any spawning of a smaller explosion center point will incur a hit on a point, then ratio it to the total area that the explosions can spawn.

The way to do that is to ignore the +/-30% variance in the explosion and use the area of the hitbox and add the smaller explosion radius and calculate that area. We know this works because inversely any spawn point on the edge of this circle would reach out to the center and connect. The ratio of that area to the secondary radius where smaller explosions can spawn will tell you the odds any given smaller explosion will hit the center point.

You can ignore the +/-30% variance because the radius itself will grow/shrink linearly and average over time to whatever the base number is, and for this calculation we only care about the smaller explosions reach back towards the center point, which is the radius, and not the area. If we needed to instead calculate the area we'd need to incorporate the non-linear growth of area relative to radius.

Most monster hitboxes are of size 0.3m, with the exception of some bosses which go up to 1.1m, but for the sake of comparison 0.3m is a good yard stick.

Old Gem (level 20):
pi * (1.9 + 0.3)^2 / pi * (3.6)^2
15.20/ 40.69
0.37 or 37% chance for a given smaller explosion to hit the center point.

New Gem (level 20):
pi * (1.3 + 0.3)^2 / pi * (3.0)^2
8.04 / 28.26
0.28 or 28% chance for a given smaller explosion to hit the center point.

This gives us a rough loss in overlaps of ~23.4% against a gained 11.7% phys dmg.

PoE 3.24 | How to get absurd damage from Explosive Trap of Shrapnel

FearlessDumb0 2024-03-20 | EDIT: Build guide for 3.24 -
youtu.be/UwRrcfcJSKI

There is a lot of bad info floating around for Explosive Trap of Shrapnel, and as part of the league start guide I'm working on I wanted to go over mechanically why it is vastly superior to the normal gem in bossing content. It ended up being a bit too long as a segment in the build guide, and it would help out people who are making build guides right now with bad information, so I'm giving it to you early.

I took a ~50%ehp hit dropping Kintsugi for the Ultimatum chest for about ~38% more damage, and Ralakesh's Impatience dramatically reduces the utility Immortal Call so I've switched over to Steelskin for the time being. Not sure where I'll end up with a guard skill. If I can source a +2 gems Kintsugi I might swap back into that once I finish my sceptre craft.

PoE 3.23 | Explosive Trap Trickster Pre-Launch Update | Ascendancies???

FearlessDumb0 2023-12-08 | Quick update pre-launch for Explosive Trap Trickster and my thoughts on the new Ascendancies. I also go over a bit more of the PoB and reasoning for the late maps passive tree changes I make.

TRANSFIGURED GEMS: I meant to mention but the long and short is: I'm going to wait and see how they feel in the game. Magnitude looks amazing for single-target but will require a different configuration. Shrapnel looks like exceptional clear but we'll have to see how it feels in practice.

Thanks for all the comments and support! You guys are awesome.

PoE 3.22 | Building an extremely fun juiced mapper with Controlled Blaze

FearlessDumb0 2023-10-10 | Hi folks, in this video I explore Controlled Blaze and using it to take an extremely satisfying mapping build to another level. This is a Shield Charge Ignite Elementalist which is absurdly fun to play. My hope is that one build showcasing that Controlled Blaze can be used effectively will lead to more.

IMPORTANT, READ BEFORE POB - this is not a new player friendly build, and you will still sometimes die to one-shots or Kaosis slams and the like. There are several easy to overlook breakpoints and gearing decisions that can severely impact your damage and survivability if you miss them. This is also configured as an SC trade build.

PoBs:
~200d budget (from video): https://pobb.in/iLWgjBdWLm9_
~90d budget build (50d gear + Progenesis): https://pobb.in/1Q0OJcZbfxWM

Credit to my buddy Soup for helping me brainstorm ideas for this build, and in particular suggesting the chest.

EDIT: Couple quick clarifications because if you talk for 24 straight minutes you are bound to misspeak somewhere... (1) I say Action Speed when I mean to say Attack Speed when covering APS breakpoints and (2) Increased Elemental Damage is NOT applied step-wise and instead is applied a single time after conversion.

[PoE 3.22] Explosive Trap Trickster Starter Guide When? | Trial of the Ancestors

The biggest changes are adapting the Lightning Warp tech from my Uber Shaper farming video to the Sunblast version of the build. Self-chill + Lightning Warp are obscenely fast and it's probably one of the fastest bossers in the game.

Other changes include taking what we've learned from 3.21 with the passive tree changes that we didn't know during the run up when I created the previous guides, more advice for a smooth campaign, chest recommendations since we didn't know Skin of the Lords was nerfed into the ground prior to 3.21, information on how you can have a nice smooth DPS output using Sunblast, and more.

See you all there!

[PoE 3.21] 2div Uber challenge | 40m Chaos dps with The Consuming Dark LOGIN | NO EXPLODE TOTEMS

FearlessDumb0 2023-05-27 | I really enjoyed tinkering with this one! I'm pretty sure this is the only Consuming Dark build (currently) on poe.ninja that is scaling the Chaos hit instead of pure poison or DoT. The Consuming Dark is CRAZY strong, particularly for a 1 alch unique. This build abuses two layers of conversion and the Phys Conversion to Chaos mastery to efficiently scale damage. I was reliably killing Uber Uber Elder, Uber Shaper, Uber Cortex (when I didn't get bricked mods), and rare Feared invitations with this build over the course of a couple days.

*IMPORTANT* : This PoB isn't a league starter, I'm using Flame/Flesh jewels that are incredibly cheap at this point in league as well as a Watcher's Eye. This is just a fun side project to see how far I could scale Chaos damage on a minimalist budget. If you are uncomfortable with Uber bosses this isn’t going to make them easy mode for you. Attempt at your own risk.

Be on the look out for a league start version of this build come 3.22!

[PoE 3.21] 14div/hr - Secrets to Speed Running Uber Shaper. Loot from 200 runs.

FearlessDumb0 2023-05-16 | Hi folks, loot from 200 uber shaper's here and a guide to how I ran them quickly. I ran them off and on over a few days for a total time invested just under 10 hours. I recorded many of the runs so I would have a very good idea of the run durations. My average was around 2m 45s with my best times being in the 2m 10s - 2m 30s range. On a bad boss draw (Dominus + Eater of Souls, for example) it might be closer to 3mins.

Costs: 38.6div in fragments
Revenues: 175.43div in easily bulk sellable loot (I was slightly unlucky)
Profits: 136.83div in just under 10 hours

Full loot breakdown:

[PoE 3.21] How I made 12+div/hr opening Geodes. INSANE profit margins.

FearlessDumb0 2023-05-01 | Hey folks, wanted to share a unique zero arbitrage situation in PoE that has generated huge piles of currency over the last week. There is tremendous upwards pressure on the Primordial Remnant right now as people want to complete challenges.

This has been the situation for at least a full week, though I don't know how much longer that will be true as more learn about the upsides of opening the Geodes instead of selling them unopened.

[PoE 3.21] How to make 7-8 div per hour with Twisted! Loot from 400 elder guardians

FearlessDumb0 2023-04-27 | I wanted to share with you one of my primary currency generators for Crucible and data from 400 Elder Guardians and 100 Invitations. I've made a fairly comfortable 7-8div/hr over the last 2.5 weeks executing exactly this method.
