Key Build Infor
There is a respec out of Toxic Strikes. Only do this after you've Anointed your Amulet with Toxic Strikes. Make sure to synchronize the Gear, Skill and Passive Tree progression. The Mid Game Passive Tree and Skill Gems should only be swapped to after obtaining The Devouring Diadem.

Playstyle
When playing as Seismic Trap Saboteur your primary focus is to lay down your Seismic Trap in good spots and to make sure you keep enemies within your Traps AOE to maximize your damage output.

Mapping
While mapping, Exsanguinate Traps are your main source of clear. Spam them near targets; only throw Seismic Trap to help clear out very dense screens and tougher enemies. Shield Charge and Flame Dash to get you quickly to the next monster or out of danger.

Bossing
Use your Malevolence to activate it's temporary Aura effect. Throw all Seismic Trap charges onto the boss before triggering the fight when possible (Lab, Map bosses, starts of Pinnacle Bosses). Then throw 6-9 Blade Traps (making sure to not hit your trap limit and over-ride your Seismic Trap). Trigger the boss, curse them with Despair and Temporal Chains while also proccing your Focus cooldown (when you get one).

Pantheon
For Major Pantheon, select Brine King to gain Immunity to Freeze and Reduction of Chill Effect. This bonus is not baseline and needs to be acquired with a Divine Vessel.

For Minor Pantheon, select Shakari and upgrade it. This gives you defences against Poisons and Chaos Degens.
