first of all, thank you very much for sharing your build/guide and all the effort you put into that!
I played around a little bit with it on a low level, and absolutely adore the miner playstyle, never tried that before!
Thats why i decided this to be my starter (and finisher) build for the next exp.
I am pretty new to poe and a really casual player with little knowledge (harvest league SSF/SC being the first time reaching lvl90 and killing Sirus/Cat/Atziri with a Trickster ED/C), so i have to strictly stick to proper guides for builds to work. Also, i exclusively play SSF, just don't like the trading aspect.
With this out of the way, i have a (probably dumb) question regarding the gem links especially for the CI-version of your build (because i will stick to that, to get a shavronnes&prism guardian sounds unrealistic for me in SSF):
i am missing links/gems especially in the weapon/shield slots.
What i understood is:
6-Link:
Ball Lightning > High Impact Mine > Swift Assembly > Slower Proj > Trap and Mine > Controlled Destruction/...
1-"Link":
1).Chaos Golem
2).Portal (obviously not needed)
This leaves me with 6 open gemslots, either in weapon+shield (when i put CWDT>IC&Chaos Golem&Portal in the 3rd 4-Link), or in some of the 4-link-items.
Could you please give a feedback what i am missing?
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback!
You can use it for a second movement skill with fortify like shield charge, or a few Cwdt setups to proc useful skills.
With that said though, shavs is easy to farm in SSF. The cards drop very frequently from shav in any map she spawns as the boss and the shield can be chanced fairly reliably.
Do culling strike ignores ES? Never done a LL build before, so I'm asking. Sometimes I just die w/o even being hit, and I know it's not by overkill damage since I'm running with little to none damage mods. Some Legion mobs and a few rares sometimes have it. Thanks!
No mob in the game other than in hogm has cull. But yes, it does go through ES. For hogm, drop an aura to get over 20% life.

Yes. Culling Strike does ignore ES. I have played low life builds before but I haven't noticed a problem with this. Although it was long time ago before Legion.
What's our solution? To have 11% "max hp" so we don't die to 10% culling strike? Does that mean we have to skip one aura? Is it worth it? Any other ideas?
I dunno what's happening... I have 1k life and 131 unreserved, that means like 13% life remaining and stil sometimes I get culling striked...
BTW: Do not ever try to bite more than you can chew:
I was trying to upgrade a T5 flat ES mod and now I ended up with this... Rolled like 200 seeds with 20 remove/add defense, that armour mode won't go away...
Before it was 20% inc lightning damage and 30% inc ES from body armour...
No mob has cull unless you are running hogm, so it’s something else.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply.
I will go for
CWDT>IC/Steelskin>Duration
CWDT>Tempest Shield>Blind
for the weapon/shield slot
and for the last 2 slots Shield Charge>Fortify.
(maybe kicking portal for faster attacks to charge faster).
If i happen to get shav/shield, i will switch for sure, thanks again!
Hey there, i chose your build for the last few days of the league to test it in delving. I use icicle mines. I am lvl 80, spent couple ex on my gear and i am only 100k damage on PoB. I can't really understand where the rest of damage should come from and where to allocate my next skill points. I am depending on your 3.9 skill tree from youtube so i can get Tranquility instead of Charisma. Could you give me some advice and maybe post yours 90-ish lvl PoB with items in couple ex range that would change much? Thanks in advance :D

Swap to BL. Icicle takes a huge investment to feel good currently.
