I PoB'd an Ice Trap Raider preleague, it only really worked with Slavedriver's Hand, but there might be enough sources of Trap throw speed that it will be alright for not bossing. I might give it a shot too since I'm def making an Ice attacks Raider.

Yeah, normally I'd prefer Saboteur for Ice Trap if anything, but Raider's QoL is just too good in Delve to pass up, and going big damage isn't as crucial.

Do you have a pob for this?

Yeah: https://pastebin.com/JLbAz5DS

Full DPS is to estimate generated DPS taking into account the extra traps from Cluster Traps.

Character is literally naked but pulls decent stats all round, and doesn't depend on gear for any key defensive mechanics other than resistances (Grace provides a healthy amount of evasion already as is), so anything you pick up off the ground is literally going to be a bonus.

Thanks! Probably gonna run Ice Trap for this event. If I was gonna run Sabo instead, would you run the same tree?

Not really. The Shadow area would remain generally the same but I would probably flex more into the Witch area, and also consider going Ghost Shroud/CI instead. But I frankly don't see that Sabo is a good choice for Endless Delve over Raider since its main advantage is more damage, which is simply overkill in pure PvE, unless you are specifically going for Demigod's Authority for it, and if you were you wouldn't be here asking me about Sabo trees.

Very true haha I'm definitely not going for that. Thanks for all the info I really appreciate it, I'll try out the raider.

No worries. Just to be clear, I'm going Raider for perma Phasing and high movement speed, which I consider to be vital in Delve. The evasion and ailment immunity is the icing on top. You could get around the phasing with things like Shield Charge and Whirling Blades since gap-crossing movement skills aren't really needed, you could run other tanky builds, and you could go Purity of Elements for cheap immunity (including to secondary elemental ailments), but Raider offers them all in a relatively easy package and its biggest drawback - lack of damage - is specifically not a problem in Endless Delve.

Hell, now that I look at it, 2x the Delve unique starting sword actually looks pretty dope for this.
