[3.4] Fire Nova Mine - Perfect League Starter - Low Budget - FAST - HC Viable

Is there aaaany chance you would consider putting a bit more of the guide in text, as opposed to videos? Understand it would take quite some time, but it would be so useful! :)

Just done :-) BTW, I was done some changes on the skill tree to get MoM and just update some gears(Not yet put in vaal clarity).

To me this build has enough burst dmg even just 4L and the only thing I not really like is the AOE not huge enough especially in Breach. I compare it with my friends and found that they can kill more mobs in breach.

Did you try before with Carcass Jack with Inc AOE gem? The dmg definitely lesser than The Covenant, but at least we don't need to drop & detonate mines at nearly melee range, isn't it?


Ok, you are using detonate mines procced by cwdt. That's the reason your aoe sucks.
The more mines you lay down before you detonate them the bigger the aoe. But your cwdt lets your mines detonate all the time while in breaches. You also using 2 sceptres and therefore your movement is kinda gimped. I think shield charge is way better / faster than leap slam.

So what you wanna do in breaches is shield charge in a circle while laying down maximum amount of mines and then let them detonate, that way you have way more aoe.

I think there is no need to play with carcass, and playing this build on mana is just totally annoying, i've done it and I was frustrated. Max amount of mines -> detonate is like a lvl 27 AoE support gem for free.

Sorry, I don't really have the time nor do I feel the urge to make the text guide more detailed. You can't believe how much work went into producing the video guides. I fully understand that people don't want to watch a 1 hour video to find out about a certain info they need, but that's why I put time stamps into my video descriptions so you can just jump to the segment you are interested in.

It's a very nice, chilled build for a casual like me. Just one thing: is there a "trick" with Blast Cascade? It seems to me very random wether or not it generates Powercharges. Do i have to click on an enemy for it to work? I've tried a lot of different things, but generating Powercharges is just completely random and i can't seem to find a strategy to make it consistent.

Lvl50 now, completely selffound, content is still pretty easy so far.

Nah, it's unfortunately very random. Nothing you can do about it. The only thing you could do is make a power charge on crit setup with orb of storms gem, but thats not really worth it.

I'm not sure how to link things on here, but can someone look at my character, I'm confused as to why my damage is only 4004.9 on poe.build. Yeah my gear isn't the best, but I feel like it's SO low compared to what it should be.

Is it because of my gems? Only one of them is 20% Quality level 19. I honestly don't know what the issue is.
What i mean is, with bomb specialist, carcass jack, aoe gem and 11 nos of mines, all these can max out our aoe in a very short period. And mana base + MoM + vaal clarity are really helping alot while Im trying to spam my mines.

The cwdt with detonate mines is just a temporary setup in my glove. Im trying to craft BBRG on it but still don't have any luck yet. Maybe i should craft it with master Vorici.

he could try assassins mark somewhere, maybe with/instead of one of the curses, but if you do that in HC you would lose the chains/enfeeble that's keeping you alive, or you need to get to tri-curse somehow.
great build, thanks for putting this together. Having trouble getting some extra life on my belts and accessories but otherwise having a blast.

Hey,

This is my first build ever and I love it! Got some decent gear already :)

I'm wondering about one thing. I'm using a 5-link 6-sock armor and have spot for the portal gem there, but I also have 3 socket shield. Do you recommend putting in an 'Arctic Armour' there? I see you use it in your profile. When do you use it? Do you swap out Temporal Chain?

Thanks and keep up the awesome work you do!
A mouse!

Understandable. The only reason I prefer text, is because I like to save or even print stuff so I can have close at hand while in-game. I'll have a look at the videos and write some of it out and paste here, in case anyone else finds it useful too :)
