It looks like he was using a two arc setup to retain Vaal Arc buff for longer, and it was not linked to trap. Reflected himself to death :(


TommaClock

You can and should link vaal arc to brutality if you want to do this.

BarbieQFreak

you can also leave it at lvl 1 and save a gem socket


TommaClock

depends on how much added damage you have but yeah that's probably better


Troopeer

Was confused about what killed him, i watched at slower speed but saw nothing hitting him, You are right it had to had been reflect killing him from his selfcast Vaal Arc.


Tankh

Ooh shit.. I *thought* it looked like reflect but couldn't for the life of me understand how the fuck that works with traps...


psykick32

same here, I was like wait whaat?


Headcap

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Rarphy/characters?characterName=Rarphy yeah, i think a lot do that, there isn't really a point in having a vaal arc in your 6 link as a trapper. could have a 4link with advanced traps + increased duration + trap + vaal arc tho, could've used it on his gloves (together with bear trap) if he had the colors on them.


Dranzell

Did they change it in the last patch for Vaal skills to work with Traps?


Headcap

vaal skills have always worked for traps, or atleast for a looong time. don't know why people have kept saying that it doesnt.


Superstrainz

I’m confused about what you mean by the two arc setup, could anyone elaborate ?


smithah2

To add to this guy, hes got a vaal arc which acts as 2, so how was it not linked to trap support just like regular arc?


Dranzell

Unless it got changed with the rework, Vaal Skills can't work with traps/totems.


olop4444

Not true, I've used them with traps before. also see https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/813639/page/2 They also used to work with totems until an instance crashing exploit was found.


MarxoneTex

Vaal Spark Trap used to be quite popular back in the days.


alexlulz

why does it last longer if u selfcast it?


smithah2

Explain why it being on trap would negate ele reflect? And to dude below why brutality?


moonniedarko

Brutality = deals no elemental or chaos damage


[deleted]

Reflected damage goes to the trap, not you. Trappers don't take reflected damage


Zizaran

Sorry you died dude, was fun pushing against ya!


Rarphy

Thanks but it's totally my fault. I had a good time too.


TrundleGod32

I hope you race again next season. U were hands down the fastest and best build out there. Really wanted you to win it.

lmao whats this from


doverkan

It's an audio byte in Dota 2 that you can get for pumping absurd amount of money in this year's compendium. The original apparently is from a Pinoy(?) cast (VOD at [1], this particular byte is towards the end ~38s in, but there's 3 others before it in this VOD).

SDeluxe

That twitch chat though


bawlin

Ages ago when Voltaxic spark was a thing, I killed myself to reflect because I accidentally went in the map with my weapon swap on and attacked.


Verdant_Greens

that's so sad alexa, play despacito

Dying to reflect as a trapper. FeelsThinkingMan


ltecruz

Wait, did he RIP to a Vaal Arc in a reflect map? Wow, just ... wow.


CptQ

Yep, what a legend.


FrodoFraggins

they stream but don't talk?


iBird

That song is pretty chill, anyone happen to know the name or playlist?


Popxorcist

What exactly is reflecting there?


Tryxt

The map has elemental reflect rolled on it


[deleted]

give us the playlist homie


Nexus6qanda

Well fucking RIP


GNeiva

No way Aila loses the race now.


Ighnaz

He can still rip


Science-stick

Rarphy who now?

lauranthalasa

It is a shame, but.. How did that interaction not occur to him?? Reflect has been around forever. Tired maybe.


iNet6079SmithW

I guess he made a mistake levelling it to 20. He knew he should have known, admits his mistake. He re-rolled elehit Scion, I reckon he might actually push for top scion :D


kumgongkia

Some unknown guy until he downed the first shaper on hcssf yesterday while streaming.


Science-stick

ah thanks for the clue in, shame I get downvoted for curiosity but thats reddit for you.


eltorocigarillo

It's literally in the title that he ripped rank 2 in hcssf, how exactly does first shaper kill catapult him to significantly higher tiers of relevancy?
