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

thanks - I will go back to it later once i'm better geared, I like the idea of it but pyro works better for me at the moment

So i was able to pickup a helm with blastchain mine and hypothermia... does pob auto calc these or do i need to add them to my arc link to see?

Do you have a general suggested path on the tree for applying skill points? What branch is least important and should be added last as you hit 90+? Thanks.

Edit: NVM, I see it in your leveling guide.

I'm confused with Gem setup. What skills are we using on maps?

Do you really think that its right to use essence worm in this build? It also increases the mana cost of mines by 40% which is huge especially when you use MoM

so guys iam confused pyroclast or ice spire it is better now ?

Hi! I see we take Explosive expert over demolition specialist? Most people on poe.ninja seem to pick the later, but the tooltip on the node makes me wonder why they do it?

Should i use watchers eye with light pen from wrath when i dont use wrath ? i mean uve written to use zealotry and its like that in the PoB too so im kinda confused. And also does cold pen support make a huge difference over controlled destruction ? And what amulet should i wear im currently wearing atziri's foible cuz i saw u wear it on ur profile and i struggle to use most of my gems if i dont wear thism

Yes it calculates, but it is not obvious. If you do an Import and then check the gem section, it doesn't show. But if you highlight the skill under group, it will show all of the extra stuff like Blastchain/Hypo in your case.

Kind of up to you, build is pretty flexible with most miner builds. I did Arc only from Act 1 to white maps and then switched to Glacial Cascades when Meta bosses started becoming a chore to kill without single target set-up. There are quite a few people that use Ice Spear, Pyro, dual gem set-ups, etc.

Definitely not worth it for me. Might be okay as a league start when you are rushing maps for exp, but quickly drops off. Yea, you get more damage.. but build is not lacking in that department once you get a few things going. And we need the extra defense for the Metamorph and new bosses.

Use poe.ninja with caution, it is actually the reverse with what I checked. A lot of people just blindly follow guides or build for specific things. Like Hinder and long sequence bonuses get better at end-game.

A lot of personal preference and depending on what type of mines you play:
Explosives - Bigger AOE with GC, Storm, etc and ele pen is nice with Ice Spears. Pretty easy to hit all 3 mods with Infernal Legion + Skitter. Better for speed clearing if you aren't getting big detonation sequences.
Demolitions - Better for Deep Delve and bosses. Keep stuff away with Hinder and nuke them with long sequences or other bonuses depending on the mines.

Also, some mines have pretty meh auras which makes Demo lose value. I'm stuck with Explosives early game with GC mines. But I do want to do some testing though late game with Blastchain + Demo to nuke Metamorphs/Atlas bosses for the extra 1000% overall MORE damage multiplier over a 20+ sequence. If you're getting a lot of 20 chains, that is an average 50% MORE multiplier.

Hidden profile.
If you have Watcher's Eye with Light Pen, worth to switch to Wrath. But I personally skipped using Worm's ring. I only run Skitterbots and level 1 Precision.
Cold Pen vs CD depends on a lot variables. If you have at least 60% effective crit with CD, I'd probably use that over cold pen. If you're low on crit, use cold pen until you can stack some more. Your results may vary, but should have upwards of 400-500% crit multi and having low crit chance significantly reduces crit multi value.
