Reached maps a few days ago, still having really terrible gear but not sure where to start upgrading. Any ideas?

Also got a 5L Cloak of Defiance but haven't started using it yet because no Essence Worm.

It depends on what you think you're lacking, if it's damage, I would prioritize getting a better wand/sceptre.

Also wanted to get opinions on what you guys think about dual wielding sceptres/wands vs using a spirit shield?

Hey guys. This build is great overall sure, but i have feeling that i lack of dmg. Here is my pastebin, check this out please. I know i need to change a lot of items, but can you suggest me what first should i do? Tabula, but into what? Loreaweave?

Pastebin cause i dunno how to paste my items here.

What are some good leveling uniques? I wanna play this

Hello,

i was started the league with Zizz starting build Arc mine and i saw this one little different. Zizz recommands to use Shield Charge with Fortify and a decoy totem. He recommends too to use this gemm support "Trap and Mine damage" for the 6L. What do u think about this?

I h

1 - Could someone give me some tips fir the gameplay?
2 - When do u use the helm setup gem = Lightning Spire trap? Only for Boss? Anytime? Do u spam it 3 traps or just one?
3 - What about this use of Smoke mine / detonate mine / Spell totem? I really dont get this? how it works.


Is there a synergy beetween all of this?


Ty for the feedback

what do you think about last node from Ascendancy Explosive Expert instead demolitions specialist ?

Basically, you are trading a small amount of extra damage for some speed and smoothness (mine arming speed). I would advise against it. Once you have you +1 helmet and take out minefield, it actually becomes a damage downgrade, as the additional mine has a higher impact.

Hi, I am just wondering how do you manage to get higher crit? atm im sitting at 66% on PoB. Is it that enough or do I need higher crit chance? I'm assuming that is with flask up?

I seem to also have 2 extra sockets are there any gems u would suggest I use as they are just sitting there.

Also is there anything I can upgrade in terms of gear beside +1 mine helm? Thank you.

also what is the flat base crit mod youre taking about for the helm? I cant seem to find it anywhere

Thank you, apprecaite you taking ur time to help.

1. I am sitting at 65% effective crit chance (flask up and accounting for being lucky) and that is totally sufficient. This is with controlled destruction and without crit-gem. With crit-gem instead of controlled destruction, I would be at 92% but the average dps would still be lower by quite a bit. The only reason to go for such a high critchance would be that you want to shatter more consistently. Do you have the new crit-flask affix? (see my post above)

2. Clear Mind and Wrath Watchers Eye are of course great but expensive. On a smaller budget look mostly for %life, %mana, or crit multiplier on a normal jewel or +life, +mana, critmulti, or added lightning to spells on a abyssal jewel.

3. +1 helmet is huge. For defense, try to get flat mana on your gear. E.g., you should be able to just craft some on your helmet.

Thank you so much for your reply!

Sorry I couldve been more clear but by the sockets I meant the 2 gem sockets on my shield :D but nevermind you still gave me some insight on what to do in terms of tree sockets when I have some currency.

Are there any skills that you can put on ur armor that only require to be linked to 1 gem or none to be effective that you could suggest? I was thinking vaal phase run + increase duration but was worried I cant detonate while in phase form.

Also, for the clear mind wouldnt that require me to have no mana reserved? does that mean I dont use clarity right when I get the jewel? would the build be able to sustain mana and do fine without clarity?

I'm sorry if im asking too much questions, just returned after few leagues and its my first time trying to go all out on a character so am kinda new to all this. Thank you for your replies and I really appreciate all the help.

Feeling like my boss dps is pretty whack. Anyone eyeball my stuff and tell me if there's anything big I'm missing?

I realize I need a chest, better boots w/ enchant, gems 21/20, mine laying on belt (if I can find the damn craft)...

Uber Atziri and Vaal Temple done with this build.
24 Challenges done.

One of the best builds to start new league.

Here's my gear:

I'm using 2 flasks to sustain longer fights because that shimmeron degen may hurt my mana.

Only problem I had was with Uber Elder, maybe because I've never did it earlier.

Now I'm thinking about new char with some fun build, like Poet's Pen.

Hi! Got a few questions that I did not see answered elsewhere so far

1. How important is mine laying speed? It seems possible to craft on many slots now, should i be going for it on every slot or does it not matter that much due to other mine mechanics? (arming speed? I am so lost with mines tbh) What is a good number to aim for perhaps?

2: I have my lightning spire trap in my +1 helmet, and now it is a lightning spire trap mine, which feels a bit clunky... should I have another link in the helm perhaps? or does it up the damage of the lightning trap?

3: does the cast speed of detonate mines totem matter, or not? trying to figure out how to support my totem properly, since increased duration does nothing anymore?

Would also like to add that for a long while I used the "Cast socketed spells when you use a skill" craft on my dagger, and I tried a detonate mines totem and a golem ... using the "manual detonate" D button will drop a detonate totem once every 5 seconds, and also resummon a golem... pretty nice QOL though ofc other crafts provide more raw dps

Great build, would love if anyone who is familiar with mines could answer any of these :)

Getting your hands on a shield with a spell damage increase implicit and then % increase crit chance for spells will no doubt give you a big damage boost.

Also try getting the shaper helm that has the "Place an additional mine" mod on it, it'll allow you to take Minefield off your 6L to add another support (Lightning Penetration or something) and that will be a HUUUUGE boost in damage.
