Path of Exile

CI Splitting Steel Trickster build updated for patch 3.25 Settlers League!

You will receive all the gear and gems to be able to play this Path of Exile build. The character itself is not included!

Splitting Steel Trickster is an Advanced build designed for players who seek immense power and versatility. This build excels in dealing devastating Lightning damage, leveraging the Ephemeral Edge sword, which adds Maximum Lightning Damage equal to 20% of your Energy Shield (ES) which is more then 15k!

Thanks to the Trickster's synergy with Energy Shield and key passives like Soul Drinker and Escape Artist, this build offers exceptional survivability. Chaos Inoculation provides complete Chaos immunity, while Ghost Dance ensures instant ES recovery on hit. 

With the Mageblood belt, your flasks become incredibly potent, freeing you from the need to constantly manage them, and allowing you to focus entirely on obliterating your enemies. 

Born in the Shadows Ascendancy, which is taken from Forbidden Jewels, gives another excellent protection from all damage. Coupled with Atziri's Reflection, you are also immune to curses. With over 70k Evasion and 84% Elemental Resistances, 100% Spell Suppression, Ailments, Stuns Immunity and additional defenses like Endurance Charges supported by Immortal Call, this build is nearly untouchable.

Splitting Steel is a unique and powerful skill, and with the Nimis ring, your projectiles return and explode, maximizing your damage output. Sniper's Mark further enhances your damage by increasing the number of projectiles, making this build ideal for rapid map clearing.

This advanced build is perfect for farming T17 maps and great at taking down Uber bosses with ease. If you're looking for an incredibly powerful and resilient build that can handle the game's toughest challenges, the Splitting Steel Trickster is the best choice.
