concept: similar to trap bladefall (uses a bunch of more modifiers to boost damage)
~2ex investment bino's+southbound+ 5link armor - none are mandatory, build is playable with tremor rod and 4 link in maps, but having the bino/southbound interaction allows you to use the concentrated effect gem without losing much clear speed since the poison proliferates

take all defensive nodes on tree because dps nodes not necessary

Link detonate mines to spell totem so that it keeps detonating while you lay mines (not required, self detonate variant is playable but requires more button management)

Get jewels to increase mine laying speed (around 50% faster mine laying speed is a good amount)

Mine+Bladefall+Poison= insane poison stacks (technically should be 5x for each cast of bladefall, but in pvp tested to be 2x per cast)
Bino’s Kitchen Knife+ Southbound = insane regen for you, and proliferation of poison to other mobs nearby

Mines allow you to bypass the cast time of bladefall (which relies on mine laying speed instead) as well as the maximum 3 trap limit. They also autotarget enemies, so all you do is drop a spell totem, drop mines until screen is clear, and move on to the next pack.

Bandit reward: Save Oak (life), Kill all (skill point), Kill all (skill point) -- it doesn't really matter, elemental resists are nice for gearing, mana is nice for mind over matter variant

mana issues? substitute in reduced mana gem (I am using reduced mana gem as a great way to avoid having to invest in mana nodes on the tree as well as mana/mana regeneration on gear - DPS is still great even in 30% phys reduction maps)

link CwDT to detonate mines in case you forget to drop totem or totem dies before you can lay mines
spell totem to detonate mines (not necessary for self detonate version, in that case can use wither linked with spell totem)

Rush clever construction and increased targeting range nodes (mine detonation radius). Tabula is fine as long as you have the resists. Start leveling with self cast bladefall or you can level with it linked to remote mine. At level 48 switch to tremor rod which allows you to go full DPS mode. For extra defense use titucius' span as a shield. Leveling with mind over matter variation is probably the easiest, since it allows you to avoid mana problems.

Mind over Matter: take lots of mana nodes on the tree and use spirited response jewels with rallying cry for extreme effective life pool - also helps sustain mine spamming (usually around 100 mana for 1 mine) https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwABBLMGdwceCGcI9A5IDo4RLREvEZYRwha_GDwYVhzcH1si9CNfJpUo-ipTKwotqDGeMtE1kjY9OuFBh0VHRZ1FuUZxSVFJsUtXTeNTMVNSVGJVS13yXsBh4mKVYqxo8mpDaxdsCGwLbIxvnnBRdf12b3xLfIN-sH_GgseDCYRvhHeFMohajr6PGpMnkzqVLpZ0muCdqp3ZoEOhL6IAplexkLJwtAy0xbVItz63dbfWuJO86r0nvoC-isBUwGbA48HFytPLvdRC18_YVNi921nb5-aB62Pr7u4V74jwH_DV8Yrxs_JF-Tf56P4K_o8=

Crit: take the Blast cascade cluster and you can usually keep up power charges without using anything else - downside is that there isn't really a good reason to go crit on this build other than for extra damage

Flasker: probably the strongest version of the build, but also the most expensive. Gain extra damage mitigation as well as DPS - downside is the skill point investment required to make the flasks worth it
