[POE 3.6 Shadow] Best Synthesis Lightning Spire Arc Saboteur Build (PC,PS4,Xbox) - Fast, Mapping, Endgame
- Arc is a lightning, chaining spell with highest amount of chains in the game. Chain means it will "zap" between enemies.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- + great map clear speed
- + serious firepower with very low investment
- + end-game viable (need very good reflexes for end-game though!)
- + massive life regen (up to 20% per second and even more with Tinkerskin)
Cons
- - Squishy as low Life pool (hard to go over 5k)
- - Pretty slow with a wand and Flame Dash
-
- sketchy for HC
Build mechanics in short
Trap Support has no cooldown now in 3.3 and you can throw 15 Traps instead of 3 (in the end-game you can have around 23 traps at a time on the ground). THIS IS A BUFF, so now it's all about your Throwing Speed + cooldown for lengthy 8 second Traps.
Arc is a lightning, chaining spell with highest amount of chains in the game. Chain means it will "zap" between enemies. In 3.3 Arc does 15% MORE damage per remaining chain. If 1 enemy is on screen it will be 105% more damage, which is DOUBLE the damage. So it's now good against single target.
We will use Arc+Trap in a shaper 5L gloves for clearing maps and 8 second fat Lightning Spire Trap in a 6L for bosses.
Run around, throw traps, don't run INTO packs or you will die. For the same reason i don't have a dagger and a shield here. Even with Acrobatics, this is still a pretty low HP build. Going ES route is pretty much same, maybe a little better.
Don't stand near bosses or you will die.

Loreweave is a fantastic choice for SSF and a super strong choice for Trade league as well. It gives a lot of everything as well as much more damage than Tinkerskin
These gloves can be untill you get Shaper 5L
