This is a league starter/fresh start leveling showcase.
*Build Guide Lightning Trap Mines Saboteur:* youtube.com/watch?v=c5Tpgzdol5k
*🛑More INFORMATION BELOW🛑*
*Leveling Setup*
01-11 - Explosive Trap + Chance to Poison + Swift Assembly
12 and onwards - Lightning Trap + Added Lightning Damage + Swift Assembly.
Once you get a fourth Link Lightning Penetration/Trap and Mine Damage is good.

*Aura Setup*
Act 2 Summon Skitterbots
You can add HoT in Act 2 to your setup. I didn't because Lightning Trap has such a high mana cost and I didn't really need more Damage at that point.

Once you have allocated Charisma switch to Skitterbots + Wrath or replace Wrath with Grace if you prefer to have more defence.

*Mana issues*
Lightning Traps have a high base mana cost. Getting Skills Cost Life instead of 30% of Mana Cost is good. Lifetapping Shield Charge is not a bad idea. Getting a mana flask with "Effect is not removed when Unreserved Mana is filled is highly recommended.

*Ascendancy Points*
First Explosives Expert, then Born in the Shadows, afterwards Chain Reaction

*Important Crafting Bench Recipes*
Lowest tier Spell damage craft = 4 Alterations (Ancient pyramid).
Added spell damage = 4 Transmutation Orbs (Piety tower (Lightning damage), Room next to Dialla in Act 3 for Added Fire, Crystal Veins for Added Cold). Upgrading your wand/sceptre is important. (You can do essences and use them on sceptres or wands that you can equip, pick up every rare wand, sceptre etc.).
