Top 3.6 Trickster Builds
POE Synthesis Shadow Caustic Arrow Trickster Build - Safe, Hardcore, Endgame
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.

- + can level as itself without any external abilities required.
- + start with a very low budget
- + It's works wonders in low budget to accumulate enough currency fast for the higher budget version.
- + Has one of the most amazing feeling
Cons
- - if you are looking to kill end-game bosses this build CAN do them, but will require investment and even at that point there are a lot of other builds that would work better than this
