[3.13] Saboteur Pyroclast Mine Crit - Cheap, SSF friendly

Level 94 atm. Character is Syfer_Sabo if you wish to see.

Took most of this build to start with, but in the end I did route my skilltree quite a bit different (left to scion from ranger).

To make up for lost aoe from the witch part of the tree, I went with Explosive Expert instead of Born in the Shadows. Managed to work in Cwdt + Wave of conviction + Blind to at least have that.

Most of my gear is barely ok, except for kaom's heart which is great, yoke of suffering (dropped it) which is alright but could switch out later if I fix resists elsewhere.

Also got lucky and found an inspired learning and worked it in in the top right of the skilltree, it speeds up clear occasionaly, but isn't amazing or anything.

I feel like if you use Minefield Support, then Charged Mines Support is a must for the mine throwing speed. Also frenzies are nice in general for mapping. My crit is a bit lower, which is worse for bossing, but honestly red elder died in seconds anyway due to this skill being simply ridiculous.

Thanks for the writeup on this build, I never played mines before this so it helped a ton!

Hi, I have some questions regarding Skitterbots for a build very similar to this. Trying to figure out how to support them properly:
- Want to build around Infernal Legion Support.
- Do the "deal X increased damage" and "increased aura of effect" from other support gems apply to the ILS dmg/are?
- I assume the "do X on hit" from supps does not apply to Skitterbots as they do not actually hit.

I was thinking about going with something similar to Skitterbots = Infernal Legion = Increased Area = Elemental Focus

What anointment to go for? Seems like 'Destructive apparatus' would be good but not too sure, thoughts?

I was just wondering the same. Ash, Frost and Storm is another possibility, espeically for SSF (+6% allres, +20% Ele damage)

True Strike perhaps also (crit, crit multi)

Serpent Staff is similar but even a little better, but staff only (but we likely want to run a staff)

Counterweight is actually even better

Heart of Flame maybe too (Extra fire damage, fire pen, and a little leech)

Disciple of the Slaughter could be interesting, especially for clearing (Frenzies!)

I suspect the exact optimal node will end up being the usual balancing act of crit chance vs crit mult, but again especially for clear speed DotS is really interesting. +1 frenzy all the time, 5% chance to gain a frenzy on kill, 5% increased damage per frenzy
