this is the second time I'm trying a mines build. I think it was a bad idea to do mines while lvling.. now I hate them completely and don't want to try mines ever again.
the playstle is horrendous, you have to play really up close, you go in the middle of a pack, and instead of shooting or doing any damage to them, you start placing mines.
I always said melee in this game is suicidal. mines are way, way, way worse. mines are melee without.. melee. without the instant damage, or leech, and with a huge delay.
I think speed, mobility, is the most important quality of any PoE build. whirling blades is probably what kept me alive more than any other defense. not to mention that fast mapping is extremely important. it's not only fun, but also the best way to make currency in game.
mines are a mistake. the opposite of fun, fast clearing, or safe. remote detonation after some delay during which you are free-for-all death-on-demand killable.. no thanks. in PoE you need instant damage, you can't be idling inside a pack.. hoping to plant a bomb that might kill some of them..
it's so tedious to plant bombs that it's not even worth it for anything but large packs. so the clear is really bad, a lot of mobs will survive just fine, and it's insane to start planting one more bomb just to remove the last mob standing..
So I was planning on giving this build a try but this comment made me doubt it.
People playing this build, whether you agree or not, can you adress his claims?
I have tried mines before but always hated the playstyle despite thinking the skill FNM being actually cool. Who doesnt like Novas. I always ended up quitting the miners because of the incredibly awkward playstyle. However, I always quit them after using mines only a short while and without a lot of the necessary passives and general QoL improvements.
Im gonna upload a mino run just now with temp chains 130 quantity and you can be the judge. I played like a dumbass and still didn't die.

I guess I'm the opposite of many others. I personally hated the mine playstyle, but since I finished my goals of what I wanted to accomplish I wanted to end a league with a build I've never done before and thus made a char to play this, I lvled as mines as well and I actually love it now. I'm sure this same build won't be viable in 3.0, but because I gave this build a try, there's a good chance I'll be looking for a mine related build for it xd.
Good build so far.

Hi there,
Awesome build dude!
Just a quick question, you are using collateral damage just because the physical damage that stacks with??? chaos damage or poison?
Thanks!

On some of the tree links i see you have taken 'High Explosives' and some you have not, if you aren't taking that for the build, why not?

Hey, do you have a part about the gear for LL? Do you just replace the chest piece with Shav's? Would that change anything else? Thanks for the impending response :^)

anyone know why he has triple curse specced and only uses 2 curses one from flask and one from blashpemy? He gets +1 curse from (Whispers of Doom/Malediction) couldn't you drop the 4 points spent into whispsers of doom to use somewhere else?
