[3.8] Bringer of Fire - Crit Pyrocalst Saboteur over 4M Shaper dps - 6k EHP

INTRO

---

I've always been a enthusiast of traps in Path of Exile, and started using them since Feb 2013. I've also made a couple of build regarding traps.
Now that mines are similar to traps (throwing mines instead of placing them) with just the difference of the detonation, i'm trying this build i find quite strong in terms of dps output.
As i'm busy 95% of the time, i'm progressing quite slowly, but this build deserve a try, and i'll try to update it as often as i can :)

BUILD IN A NUTSHELL

---

This build is a crit pyroclast mine one which requires no unique and not that much of crit gear.
We also use a secondary 4/5 link setup with another mine linked with charged mines and minefield in order to take advantage also of Frenzy Charges
An hint i can give you? Manually detonate mine as faster as you can, it's like a #% more cast speed :)

STATS

---

• Can easily reach 6k EHP
• Over 200k Shaper dps each mine considering 0 mines acrive and 0 mined detonated recently
• easily reach 700k single mine average hit for over 4M Shaper DPS
• Gear and jewels can be easily crafted or bought (not expensive)

Check this link below for 700k average hit damage and over 4M Shaper dps with just a few improvement
