One of the strongest bossing builds in the game, Explosive Trap Trickster, has been my specialty for a long time. This is my 3.23 league start guide which includes campaign notes, early map progression, red map progression, and how to scale your damage into insta-phasing bosses. This isn't a full minmax guide, I had to stop somewhere, but this should get you where you need to go.
UPDATE: PoBs updated for 3.23!
