Velyna's Ice Trap Gearing (PoE Necropolis)
Item Searches
- Watchers Eye – Hatred crit plus a good secondary.
- Large Cluster – Only these exact 3 notables will give you the pathing you need, but you can buy it with more added passives at first.
- Medium Cluster – 4 or 5 passives is fine, it costs the same to path through.
- Small Cluster – 3 passive reservation efficiency with Spiteful Presence.
- Lethal Pride – We want multiple double damage and life nodes.
Gear
Helm
Evasion or Armour/Evasion base with spell suppression, very hard to hit 100% without suppress here unless you have the grace mod on watchers eye.
Amulet
Replica Dragonfang's Flight is a great option here. Since Ice Trap is a spell the more gem levels the better plus it gives some reservation and resistance.
Chest
Carcass Jack is a fantastic option for us, giving life, area of effect, area damage, and some resists. It’s also a great corrupt target to get that +2 corrupt of either AoE or Trap and Mine gems. 
Tinkerskin is another good option here, with a lot of life and evasion plus some ES for Ghost Dance and several trap related mods. This is another great target for the +2 corrupt.
Boots
Again, suppress is likely needed here unless you have the grace mod on watchers eye. The implicits are flexible, run whichever you like.
Gloves
Slavedriver's Hand is absolutely nuts, allowing us to scale DPS from cast speed while also giving endurance charges. Plus they make our traps cost life instead of mana, which is great since we need to run tons of auras.
Belt
Elder stygian for big life, with resists and a DPS craft. STR may be needed here depending on ring situtation.
The Abyss jewel here is a great place to get some flat fire damage for Explosives Expert.
Rings
There is a lot of flexibility here, I did not have the damage mods shown here when I killed all the uber bosses. So at first just cover a ton of resists and whatever STR/DEX you may need.
Sceptre
Double +1 with crit mods and spell/cold damage. Make sure to have a suffix free for the trigger craft, it’s used to apply 
Assassin's Mark which gives a ton of boss DPS.
Shield
+1, spell damage, crit, life. There’s a lot of power here while also getting life, especially if you can hit some resist and leave a suffix free for double damage craft.
Jewels
Watcher's Eye: The goal is to get hatred crit % and a good secondary, I went with grace suppression. Before getting the hatred mod, a nice combination of cheaper mods giving immunities to certain curses or extra life regen are available.
Lethal Pride: Double damage and life, I provided a search above. This can run quite expensive at first. It’s also nice because it gives a lot of STR, making it easier to hit requirements.
Cluster Jewels
Large: 8 Added Passives with Prismatic Heart, Blanketed Snow, and Widespread destruction. this gives us the optimal pathing to get both nodes we want, plus access to jewel sockets.
Medium: We use 2 mediums, both with Guerilla Tactics and either Careful Handling or Surprise Sabotage.
Small: 3 passive mana reservation efficiency base, with Sublime Form.
Flasks
- Life Flask
I usually like to run bleed protection on life flask, but that’s optional, as is the prefix here.
- Utility Flasks
I run a setup somewhat like this 90% of the time, feel free to change it up. Increased charge recovery is also an option for the prefix. Early on, you probably want a diamond flask in final slot.
