The Saboteur is an Ascendancy class for Shadows.

Overview

The Saboteur specializes in traps and mines, in addition to having access to passives that synergize with skills with a cooldown or trigger. Demolitions Specialist and Chain Reaction grant utility to mines and traps, both which lead to Pyromaniac for defensive bonuses. Like Clockwork grants a strong cooldown recovery rate bonus, and Perfect Crime multiplies the amount of time triggered skills activate. They also have secondary bonuses to blind synergy with Born in the Shadows, elemental ailment-related bonuses with Explosives Expert, and area of effect damage and protection with Bomb Specialist.
