I love PoE and I'm here to make you fall in love too. PoE is a hard game, but the maxroll team and I can make it easy enough to be your new addiction. Build guides, helpful advice, and a good ass time all on my twitch and youtube channel. Introduction
Warning: Explosive Trap Saboteur is a High Budget Saboteur Build costing in excess of 50 Divine Orbs and requires you to have a leveled up Shadow already. If you are looking for a Starter Shadow Build check out our League Starter Build Guides or Twink Leveling guide to Level this build.
The Explosive Trap Saboteur Stacks many Traps to cause a series of explosions that deal massive damage in single target encounters.
It is a bossing specialist with enough clearing ability and survivability to map as well as boss. If you're looking for a hybrid boss capable character, then this is the build for you!

We use a combination of the Auras Determination, Grace, Herald of Ash and Defiance Banner to scale your damage and defence.

You use a Varity of utility to increase your damage for this build. Elemental Weakness and Cursed Ground Support to ensure instant application of your Curse on bosses during the pre-load of your Traps. Summon Skitterbots linked with Infernal Legion Support to make enemies "Burning" to obtain Critical Strike Multiplier from Explosives Expert. Lastly use Bear Trap to increase the damage Bosses take from your Trap Hits.
