Glacial Cascade Zerphi version

Introduction
This build is an Ascendant miner built around

in the dire shortage of

(not really) and the patience to buy all those leveled gems with quality when you reroll midleague (I'm serious)

Gear Breakdown
CoreGear

That said, in order for a build to be competitive, pseudo links from Shaper/Elder Helmet/Gloves are needed to act as 6 link in body armor/two hand weapon
Trying shopping https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Delve/GdQbdZFb, it holds true most of the time that 7-link Elder helmet for Righteous Fire or Molten Strike is not affordable/rational for most of us but, a 7-link Shaper helmet albeit even rarer has at least one for just a couple ex every day, and if minus the little qol Increased AOE and Hypothermia for non-cold skills then the only thing that matters, double damage double regen mod "Place an additional mind" is everywhere from day 1 of league


ThemeGear


No brainer for life builds, fire damage is negligible for non-fire skills so get a low roll with max life/resist corruption for cheap price

Sacrificing evasion, 4 sockets and movement speed prefix on boots, you get two biggest assurances for gaming experience: no stun and limited slow that basically nullifies chill, freeze, temporal chain and Elder's sucking ... siphoning

A new member to the family, simple and straightforward, one mod offensive, one mod defensive


Passives
Tree

http://poeurl.com/b8d3
Snowforged is for fire and cold skills. For lightning skills, choose Crackling Speed
The jewel sockets around Scion start are for, of course


Bandit - Alira

Pantheon
Major God - Lunaris or Solaris
Miner God - Tukohama or Shakari

Ascendancy

Saboteur - only regen is fully preserved from real Sabo but 20%/s is still pretty nice for the use of RF and blood magic
Pathfinder - pretty much the only choice with Saboteur but why not


Character Completion
The backbone of the NO SOCKET theme miner is listed above. The rest including skills, skill specific gear and flasks are highly adaptable to budget and personal taste.
BudgetVersion

Like every other real miner, spend mana and use Lavianga/Vaal Clarity for sustain and socket aura into Essence Worm

AscendantVersion


6-link spell with the cheap gloves brings mana cost easily over 500. Don't waste your socket and money on the stupid

like those Frenzy Pathfinder. On top of the % regen our life regen stands at 10k/s in action. Spam at will

The above flasks are listed in the dps contribution order (with my stats). Atziri's Promise/Wise Oak/Taste of Hate have similar dps boost behind Diamond Flask but also offer defensive function against chaos/fire+lightning/physical+cold damage. Overflowing Chalice is only needed for the extremely taxing 300+ Delve bosses. I don't use it even in Uber Elder, but rather a Quicksilver for efficiency

Finally and the least importantly, skills and related gear
Cold(GlacialCascade)




Fire(MagmaOrb)


plus same links


BoringRare


On rings, a curse on hit Shaper ring is nice to have, or put Righteous Fire on an Unset ring so on gloves you can put Hatred/Anger-Purity-Herald-Enlighten

For rare jewels, the best mod is mine laying speed, which is a precious more multiplier

Further modification

A Watcher's Eye with tiny MoM Clarity mod can save several points towards the real MoM on passive tree to invest on more life nodes but too high of a max fire resist can prevent RF from draining mana for Zerphi to keep uptime so it might not be as carefree.

Going deeper in Delve a no brainer unique may finally feel not enough, then rare Shaper stat sticks will be the no brainer improvement for all physical builds. They break the NO SOCKET theme of my build, but CwDT and movement skill are always good to have

Magic Find
But when Sulphur is used up and you get back to the surface, the good base of the build makes the excessive damage in even T16 guardian maps too much to be ignored. Since the core items are just the helmet, the transition to MF is rather easy. (GC even works well with Windripper if you will)

My uncapped gear provides me IIQ 89% IIR 124% with

I mean without alltime Distillate you call your build MF?
Sadly no room to go full-meme with Crown of the Tyrant :c
Super nice build though, nj!

I thought that thing is for aurabot or animate guardian. We could move pseudo links to Shaper gloves with additional trap/slow proj/multi but that's suboptimal and even rarer
Add magma orb gameplay

Add magma orb gameplay


What's exactly is the problem you face? Magma Orb has lower damage, larger coverage so works better in open maps and Sarn than in T16 or Delve but the mine playstyle is the same. The chain 2 times helmet enchantment is rather important but I never once got it after 2 leagues' 1000 Uber chests so I gave up and turned to GC
This build works on 3.5? If does, can you share a leveling tree?

Not so good anymore. You can replace Zerphi with a hybrid flask and level and quality blood magic. The rest is the same. Stat sticks are not worth using either
