[3.13] HC/SC/SSF All Content Miner - Any Mine Skill - LL/CI - 12k ES w/ Videos!

I might as well post in here - playing a miner for the first time and have been having a lot of ups and downs.
Character goes from feeling insane to insanely weak seemingly at random, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong with my itemization. Here's my current gear for convenience: If there's anything obvious that I should be fixing, let me know, I'm happy to try different stuff out to make the play smoother. The build feels strong, but has lots of small issues from time to time. Right now I'm thinking about respecing out of Born in the Shadows and into Explosives Expert for more DPS while swapping Vitality back to Flesh and Stone to cover the Blind needs. Maybe adding a good boot enchant and possible Aspect of the Spider, and ugrading my wand to something better than the piece of garbage I grabbed to make the transition into full Shavs. I guess I should be adding in some Catalysts too, I just haven't thought about it in recent times, been too busy trying to farm up the next hundred chaos~ Последняя редакция: JermStudDog.

" Dagger is best, you can check PoB, but its usually 20% phys as extra cold as best mods. |
|
" Depends on the investment. On a low investment it is not very tanky, but with high investment it can be quite tanky if you spec for it. Watch the vods, I would say thats right in the middle between dps and tanky, you can go 50% more in either direction with a few changes. |
|
" Your ES score looks insanely low for that investment. Better rares all around is the way to go. Also, ele focus is bad and you have no source of fire damage losing a ton of dps. |
|
" Yeah i agree on the wand, looks okay for BL, but it isnt doing anything for you atm - wave of conviction isnt even working for you atm. Other than that, you are wearing a shit ton of unqiues and that hurts your tankyness overall by quite a bit. I would look to replace most of them other than the astral, shavs, presence and PG. I would also try dropping conc effect for something else, as that is where a lot of your inconsistencies probably come from. Finally, ele focus really messes with the build as you cant proc your additional 40% crit multi w/o using infernal legion on skitterbots (or getting the burn from wand proc - but that is super inconsistent) |

In this legue, is this build still so strong as in the videos for the endgame content?
I mean can we erase all the endgame content without trouble? |

" Hey thanks for the response. I made some changes last night - mostly involving basically nothing either of us talked about: The new dagger, which is still a bargain buy but still infinitely better than the garbage wand. I also picked up a Dying Sun for a few more projectiles. But the big deal was respeccing out of all the juicy crit nodes all over the tree and into a cluster jewel setup, which is a bit harder to link here, but it's: A Large with Cremator + Disorienting Display + Prismatic Heart 2 Mediums with Surprise Sabotage + Guerilla Tactics. Those jewels combined with my new dagger reduced my damage ever so slightly, but my throw time went from .45 down to .37, which makes moving around easier and allows for bigger chains, all of these things combined has ~doubled my DPS output and made bossing actually easy. I agree with the assessment that Ele Focus/Conc Effect aren't helping, but PoB tells me those are clearly the best options. I could replace one of them with Fire Pen for a mild DPS loss, and I guess Controlled Destruction on the other one? That gives much bigger explosions that ignite. I guess the 40% crit multi from ignite helps close the gap and make the damage loss not really all that bad. As far as the unique items, the Astral Projector is just as required as the shavs/chay/PG since I'm using Pyroclast Mines. It's the only thing that makes Clearspeed not complete garbage. The helm is a cost conession as well, a well rolled rare helm would be better, but also significantly more expensive. The Circle of Anguish doesn't do much for defense, but might actually be BIS for damage, so I think I'm stuck with it as well. I think the game plan for now is to move to Awakened Fire Pen/Controlled Destruction and then focus my attention on helm/boots/gloves/belt. The build already feels like I've wanted it to feel - who knew, I just needed 30ex worth of gear dumped on it to get it there. |

" I can answer this one, at least from the pyrominer perspective. Everything non-Maven gets deleted quite easily, but Maven adds a good chunk of EHP to enemy bosses, and that makes things specifically harder for miners due to the fact that we often rely on bursting bosses down as part of the defensive suite. That said, even the Maven fights can be out-spent and I JUST crested over that mountain last night. So yes, bosses can still be rolled over and insta-phased, but it takes a bit more gear to get there with Maven than it used to in the past. All non-Maven fights are a breeze even at lower gear levels though. |

" Thank you for the assessment and tips. I got "Adds 18 to 41 Fire Damage to Spells and Attacks" on my ring and thought that would count for the fire damage. Does it not? I switched out Elemental Focus and put in Swift Assembly. Yeah I noticed my ES is very low, I guess I need to switch out some of my rares and switch from Uniques to rares, for example SinTrek and Crown of the Inward Eye. Lets see how much that changes :) I will test and report back | |

on ninja poe most miners use gracial cascade mines. Are they really not so good as lb or pyroclast?
Just wonder why so many use them |
