Life+MoM+EB, Bane+2 Curses: https://pastebin.com/WqqBGtSV
Pros
- + Trickster's Patient reaper makes mapping a complete breeze
- + Smooth leveling process and transition into late game
- + Can preform amazing on a budget
- + Very defensive oriented, good for hardcore (Although not played myself)
- + Highly scalable although can get expensive quick.
- + Every piece of gear is rare no required uniques, Even kaoms can be supplemented for a 6link if you don't enjoy weapon swapping.
- + Can run any combination of Map Mods perfectly fine, no gear swaps needed.
- + Able to run Toxic rain and Caustic arrow, Two fun and new skills
Cons
- - Single target becomes quite lackluster towards endgame guardians, although very do-able.
- - Again single target sustain is an issue when it comes to harder bosses, relying on flasks/passive regeneration.
- - Caustic arrow not being able to target flying enemies. Small gripe but in some cases can be annoying (Haku missions, Arsenal map) although having a weapon swap for toxic rain fixes this.
- - Ideally needing a +1 curse amulet to take full advantage of mana reservations.
