Hi Beer and all.
I wanted to come back for a quick end of league note and give a thanks again for the guide. This evening I finally put in some boss attempts and was able to down everything: A8 Sirus, Uber Atziri, Elder, Shaper, and Uber Elder. Full 20 wave simulacrum was completed previously.
Definite proof this build can do all content, unless I'm forgetting something. I ran BL, and picked up a bit of gear to try out pyroclast but I don't feel like you can get the same survivability for the dmg as you can with BL. I did not change up my tree at all but I feel like it was in a pretty good place, not really any ele specific dmg and a ton of +ES.
I am ready for another mine build in 3.11, and am hopeful something will feel as strong as BL does lol. Maybe a traditional mine like stormblast/pyroclast, or something else like GC.
I build up a totem hiero real quick too here the past 1.5 weeks to give my wrist a break, it felt waaay slow comparatively.
Thanks!
No problem.
GC feels pretty good, but takes a lot of gearing to get there

Hey there BeerLeague, thanks as always for keeping this updated.
I feel like for 3.11 I will YET AGAIN retreat to my comfort zone of mines...
I wanted to ask you - taking your BL pob as the basis and adding GR for the end-game Machina Mitts, what, in your opinion, would be the best and most efficient way to play around the Large ring Thread of Hope above Witch for the Icicle mines?
What I mean is something like this: https://i.imgur.com/ul2szg4.png
I've already tried that route in 3.9 but I never really optimized it and I also didn't have Machina Mitts. Also no cluster jewels back then, too. Looking at the amount of extra skillpoints required for cluster jewels, I am getting confused about how best to utilize this Thread of Hope. I am 99% certain though that not utilizing it for Icicle (and maybe GC, too) is just passing up a very good opportunity, this location is just perfect for a cold/es/caster character.

Every time I slot it, its a significant EHP loss - honestly, I think it is a bit of a trap. The build doesnt need more dps, which is what you trade ehp for with that jewel.

Oh, I didn't think of it that way. Is it also a loss even with the clarity WE? I assumed that taking Utmost Intellect and other related nodes (so keeping Tranquility as anointment) would end up somewhat returning ES in form of getting more mana and, therefore, more ES. Oh well, I guess planning for that before the league started is not that productive. I personally haven't yet tried going the Prism Guardian route yet, this league will probably be my first time going with that.

Yeah its still worse, from what I remember, you gain like 10% dps or so, but lose 15%~ ehp.
Also, the pathing to that jewel socket is sub-optimal to begin with

I see... Regarding pathing, isn't it exactly the same in terms of the amount of travel nodes + 1 jewel slot for both the 'upward' and the 'middle' routes?

Small addition: here is a sort of 'completed' version with that scenario I'm talking about, but it's from 3.9.
https://pastebin.com/fgFFAmDZ
I guess quite a lot of things will need to be changed here, considering the cluster jewels, but do you think that with this as a starting point, and machina mitts/prism guardian instead of my ES gloves/shield, I'd better grab all the ES nodes instead?
Honestly, I was very satisfied with that character, but I have no choice but to try something new for 3.11, mostly basing it on your build this time...

No, it's worse as, off the top of my head, you pick up four int nodes instead of ES nodes.

Yes, you can check my 3.10 character for an example. That should be optimal in terms of EHP

I don't really play mines but might give it a go in SSF next league. I don't play it because of the extra clicking involved. I was told that slotting Detonate Mines on your left click was an alternative. Has anyone tried this and is it a viable option? Sorry if this is a redundant question. I didn't scan all the pages.
The Lab, making a great game good since 2016.
