Cannot get Smoke Traps dusk shroud stacks high enough

Rogue
1

Hi this is my build: Marksman, level 100 (Release / 1.0.5) - Last Epoch Build Planner

I cannot get Smoke Traps dusk shroud stacks high enough. No matter what I do, the stacks go up to about 8 or 10, and I checked with other players and they get 80+ consistently in both the dummies and map play. This means everyone gets maxed Dodge and Glancing Blow, and I can barely survive around corruption 700.

What I have tried so far:

  • spamming explosive traps on dummies and monolith maps
  • making throw attack speed 120+
  • removing all trap nodes and redoing them one by one
  • removing acid flask

My ping is about 170 due to connecting from outside Europe.

Any ideas? Is Smoke Traps bugged for some? I will have to abandon my push to 1000+ if I cannot get this fixed. I tested it on my Falconer and it works.

you are not building for dusk shroud on hit, i think thats your problem.

items and passives have “Chance to gain Dusk Shroud when you use a Melee Attack that hits”
Tier 1
11% to 14%
Tier 2
15% to 17%
Tier 3
18% to 21%
Tier 4
21% to 24%
Tier 5
25% to 30%
Tier 6
37% to 47%
Tier 7
47% to 60%

Can be applied to:

  • Body Armour

Bladedancer Passive - Veil of Night - 6% per point (upto 30%)

Hi please check the Smoke Traps node in Explosive Traps. That has a chance of dusk shroud on hit.
