[INCOMPLETE] Making Mirror Arrow (Almost) Viable!

Since the release of Patch 1.3.0, I really wanted to use the skill Mirror Arrow as a main skill. Unfortunately no one a the time seemed to be able to make it work. So I asked myself, how can you make almost anything in PoE viable? BURN PROLIF.

Basics:
Using virtually no currency (this is my first character in Torment league) I've made a wacky build called "ExplosiveMirrors" that utilizes the fact that when you summon a Mirrow Arrow clone, it spawns with the %life that you currently have when you summon it. Therefore, I reserved 64% of my life to spawn Mirror Arrow clones that are just above low life. I am using Solaris Lorica for myself so chaos damage does not penetrate energy shield so I always have that 36% life, however Mirror Arrow clones only use your Bow and Quiver, so i'm also using a Darkscorn which converts 25% of physical damage taken to chaos damage. This means whenever my minions take any physical or chaos damage they fall below the low life threshold and trigger Minion Instability. They then explode and ignite enemies. And it....almost works nicely.

What you'll need:

Necessary Gear



My (lack of) gear:


Skill links:
Mirror Arrow - Trap - Multitrap - Chance to Ignite - Ele Prolif

Build:
**Note needs a bunch of respec points to remove the life and strangth notes and I'm also only level 69. I have a some dexterity nodes that I need in order to equip gear and skill gems that will be removed with better gear. My plan in the future is to grab dual curse, the templar AoE nodes and shadow ES nodes.**

Nice build, hope you finish it. Pretty smart idea doing the 64% life reserve and minion instability node, just a question, if you reserve more than 70% what happens to your clones? Do they explode the moment they come out?

No i tried this and it doesn't work. Also If im not mistaken the clones come out showing the same % of hp as you but actually have the full hp they normally would have. Their hp is predefined and not exactly yours

I do not think clone HP is based on yours at all.
Effects that reflect yours exist purely to fool people in pvp.

Maybe I'm wrong.
"If they actually showed gameplay with it zoomed out and then zoomed it in for the real one I think there would be actual riots in the street. I think that people would burn the building down."

Their HP most definitely is. Trialed and tested.
