[3.17] Beginner Friendly Arc Mines Guide | All Content on 5L | Lvling Guide

Hi guys!

Has anyone tried this build on PS4? I want to start with it, but I don’t know how my console will deal with it.

I skipped the detonate totem and smoke mine 4 link to build in a little survivability. I placed a CWDT+VD+Leech and honestly, it saved me from some lag death (crappy computer). I have it set to go off at 1k damage and might raise that to get VDs leech higher once I am comfortable.

Nice! that's an interesting setup and yeah the totem is completely QoL and not necessary

Why Mind over Matter, I see top builds in poe.ninja not taking it.
Also I took it and it eats all my mana. What you think?

Half of builds not taking acrobatics also. What is your opinion, which of these to take and which not to take?

There's a lot of variations but taking MoM is the best all around imo. Without MoM you lose a lot of effective hp for skitterbots and maybe another aura if you take lvl 4 enlighten and mana nodes. It's up to you of course if you want to be more squishy for dps

Keep in mind that a lot of top builds on there are people that have probably been playing for quite awhile and have more expensive gear. MoM is just an added 1-2k eHP and is a nice safety buffer for regular content, but Deep Delve or exp pushing is all about damage optimization, speed, and avoiding getting hit at all.

If I ever played console or possibly mobile, I would not play mines. Go traps or totems if you want a similar build and only requires 1 button to activate. Pressing 2 buttons frequently plus the travel skills and potions seems like a lot of work for me and I would want a more casual build on those devices. No offense meant by the casual.. just don't like button mashing except for on brawlers that I have no idea how to play.

I’m asking only about FPS, all other things doesnt matter for me. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Arc/Spear mines are probably fine as they are just linear attacks and not screen exploding. Glacial Cascades, Stormblast, Pyro, and a handful of others + Minefield will most likely be a bit FPS choppy depending on your game settings and resolution.

Great guide, been following it this season and I'm having a ton of fun.

I'm a bit confused about the gem setup though, it seems to differ from section to section (last part of "Gem Leveling Progression", "Gem Setup" and the POB Build) and I can't really make out which one is correct for which use.

So, which setup would be the correct one for leveling and which one for lategame once I have access to all gems?

Does ice spear only get good at a high gem level? Throwing down single mines and them doing low damage feels clunky/disappointing and I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong.

PoB links should be correct. Leveling should be fine as well, I see the error in gem setup so just ignore the helm part

Yes, spells scale a lot depending on gem level. Also ice spear doesn't feel THAT great early game but you can make it work. Try pyroclast if you are struggling really hard
