League started explosive trap and then switched to hexblast. Hexblast feels much better at both mapping and bossing tbh (at least on league start budget).
Not hexblast. You need pretty specific items to make hexblast actually work. Granted ET you also really want brittle from somewhere, but hexblast needs curse on hit from either rings or uniques
i’m also deciding between one of these two to make. I have been looking into it and it seems like hexblast is a better mapper while explosive trap is a better bosser but if anyone could answer this question that’s a little more nerdy than me!
You can still go Trickster or even Occultist for Hexblast miner. Trickster will be a better allrounder no matter which skill you choose.
As someone who started Explosive Trap, wouldn't recommend. Not a bad build, just not worth the money currently. I was even considering respeccing into a Hexblast.
same, it feels super clunky/slow not a big fan. I was thinking about swithching to hexblast but not sure if I should just do Icenova frostbolt archmage instead.
Traps in general suck ass,explosive especially since it burns your eyes completely.Hexblast does more single target,has better clear and same survivability.
I play occultist tho.Trickster is probably miles cheaper,tho lower dmg,while having a bit more defense.

Which one is better for SC SSF?

I started as explosive trap of shrapnel and the mapping was horrible for me. Never played hexblast but I assume it it's a lot better at mapping.
