[3.8] Pyroclast/2-curse Saboteur. Kills shaper in 2 seconds (All endgame content proven)
Hello, this is the first build I've posted here and I don't know how to make it look all pretty but I promise you this build is the real deal.
This is my Pyroclast mine/2-curse Saboteur Gameplay: Boss Step 1: Throw mines (or set up all 19 on top of boss before he spawns) Step 2: Throw bear trap on boss Step 3: Flame dash thru boss to ignite ground underneath Step 4: Detonate (or use detonate totem) and walk away (make sure not to look at the explosions if you're cool) Mapping: Sprint/Dash as fast as possible thru maps while throwing and detonating mines as you go Pros: Absurd DPS, Kills Shaper in 2 seconds(from full hp) Can be extremely effective on a low budget and improved massively later on with more currency Only needs 1 6-socket 5,300HP 2 curses + Anger aura(Can curse hexproof enemies) 91% Fire penetration Substantial CC for fast moving blight bosses Very mobile 93% melee & projectile avoid chance 75% spell avoid chance Great life leech Can do any and all map mods Eye cancer Cons: Moderate move speed 5,300HP isn't that much, defense relies on avoidance and massive damage mitigation Eye cancer Passive Tree

Tremor Rod is best in slot hands down, the double detonate is a 200% DPS increase alone. Some other builds like to use scepters with ele-penetration, but we get our fire penetration from other sources Body Armor

This is the star of the build, super undervalued you can get these for just 1c and we don't even need to 6-link it. The ability to curse everything, allowing us to deal absurd damage to everything as well as make us deceptively tanky thanks to Enfeeble Gloves

1% damage leeched from mines is valuable, but the loss in HP, damage, and resists from not running a decent pair of Fingerless Silk Gloves is questionable. Feel free to not use these. Up to you However the corruption is a massive bonus to our curses Helmet

It might seem daunting to get an item like this but don't worry its very cheap, buying an item base with the correct enchant costs a bit, then just craft using Pristine and scorched fossils. Took me about 15 attempts before I landed this one. Boots

Okay this is where it gets weird, These were crafted using an Elder base and Deafening Essence of Loathing. These are key to maximizing the build's damage avoidance, You coudl get away with just using a normal pair with tons of HP but I find these extremely effective. What you're looking for: Attack AND spell dodge chance Decent HP or decent move speed then craft on whichever one you are lacking Belt

Pack as much HP and resists as possible into 1 item Amulet

We need 183 Dex to wear Cospri's Will, soo..... yeah. Rings
Скрытый текст
We are unable to utilize Essence worm Until we get Enlighten support Lvl 4 so don't worry about that unless you're rich Just pack as in much HP and resists as you can. Using Topaz/saphire/ruby rings and using Blessed Orbs to balance out uncapped resists for is crucial Flasks

Dying Sun can be very expensive, it helps a ton but isn't required. In perfect form, this build would ideally have both cold/lightning resists +50 above fire resist so that we can activate Oak and Dying sun at the same time and get maximum benefit. I haven't achieved this yet however. Good luck Gem Links

Pyroclast Mine
Elemental Focus Controlled Destruction Concentrated Effect OR (Increased area of Effect(For fast mapping Trap and Mine damage Swift Assembly Main skill Flame Dash Faster Casting Combustion Ignite Proliferation Movement skill doubles as a way to apply a serious amount of fire penetration to enemies Bear Trap Multiple Traps Advanced Traps Increased Duration Useful for dealing more damage to bosses as well as slowing them down a significant amount (useful for blight bosses) and making them deal less damage to you Enfeeble Flammability Blasphemy Enlighten Curse setup (our curses can apply to hexproof enemies) Steelskin Cast on Damage Taken Increased Duration Vaal Grace Fantastic defense setup, vaal grace can only be manually cast, also we don't use the normal grace part, we don't have the mana for it Spell Totem Detonate Mines For when you're just too lazy to detonate yourself Anger(In Essence Worm Ring) Get angry Последняя редакция: Ponis.

I've seen this build in action many times, 11/10 would recommend. Very nice.

I'm surprised this build isn't crit, I guess the DPS is so good it's not even needed. For 2 more points you may as well go Elemental Overload just for even more DPS.
You could also run Inspiration over Controlled destruction (it'll provide 5% less damage, but easily to proc crits for EO and lowers mana reserve cost of mines by 10). Rather bummed that High Impact mine support can't be used for Pyroclast, it'd be easy to stack double damage with this build and wreck everything and it'd lower the mana reserved cost multiplier too.

" I did a lot of experimenting with crit, I tried taking ele overload, successive detonations, blast cascade, and devastating devices and switching out controlled destruction and it just wasn't as effective, the damage was already insane so I prioritized getting more HP nodes in the tree since we're not getting any hp from gloves, body armor, and 1 of the rings.

" I just messed around with EO myself, it seems that the mines themselves don't proc it sadly, so something like CWDT Blade Vortex would be OK to proc it. I can see why you went non crit or non-EO though, it's best to go for the next best thing and that is lowering enemy fire resists as much as possible with exposure, flammability, combustion, etc. Personally I'll probably stick with single curse and use my corrupted Enfeeble on Hit machina mitts to be my only curse and change up controlled destruction for fire pen on my tremor rod. It's a halfway measure and I will lose the ability against curse immune mobs, but I think it's a decent trade off. |

Got 12 ex buget,will try it.
How do u recommend to lvl this build? | |
Pleb question for those of us who never have real currency to burn. Lets assume I'm never going to get an enlighten 4. What 2 would you recommend to run between the 2 curses and Anger?
| |
" Good question, lvl 4 enlighten is some serious currency. I would absolutely recommend cutting out the Anger. Just use the curses. | |
" Awesome thank you :) one other noob question, why do you setup flame dash to ignite? Like what interaction am I missing there that it's worth the links and being mindful to do it? Trying to learn! :D |
