Velyna's Ice Trap Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
Due to the latest balancing changes, we do not recommend playing this build anymore, as it does not meet the high standards we apply to our guides in terms of fun and performance. We are leaving it up as a reference and it might be revived in a later patch.
Ascendancy
I like to hit up one big DPS node and then the 2 defensive ones, but the order can be adjusted if you know what you’re doing.
Order of aquisition
Explosives Expert
Straight damage that will be very welcome once you unlock it.
Chain Reaction
Big AoE!
Pyromaniac
We don’t leech, so the regen is very nice, as are the immunities. In the lategame these points can be moved to Bomb Specialist for more damage.
If you decide to move these points, use a 
Stormshroud and boots or belt crafted with 
Deafening Essence of Torment. Combined with an abyss jewel it is very easy to hit 100% shock avoid. You will need to move points around and grab the jewel socket near the Pain Attunement keystone.
Born in the Shadows
Blinds everything near you and makes you take reduced damage from them while they are blinded, very strong defensive node.
Bandits
Kill all, we need the points.
Pantheons
- Major: Brine King for stun and freeze protection.
- Minor: Shakari, powered up with a divine vessel, gives a lot of defense against poison.
