First off, great guide and I will most certainly use this build as my 1st char on 3.0.

Was just wondering after reading patch notes. "Traps and Mines are now invulnerable while they are arming and invulnerable while they are casting their skill. This means a trap thrown directly onto a monster who will detonate it cannot be destroyed before it detonates."

Do we still rush Clever Construction just for the extra dmg?

Wouldn't this effectively replace Clever Construction? If it can't be destroyed before detonation, wouldn't we get the full effect of the mine payload and not need to take the passive? I'm new to PoE, so forgive me if I'm thinking of this incorrectly.

Edit: NVM, Didn't realize there was a 20% damage increase included with that node too. Still though, would this change the leveling path since it's no longer as important?

Also, with this change to Remote Mine Support, would you consider using it over anything else in the build?

Remote Mine Support now deals 30% more Mine damage at gem level 1, rather than more Mine damage to hits, up to 49% more Mine damage at gem level 20.

As mentioned above there is still a huge time window in which our mines are not invulnerable, so we absolutely need clever construction.

Remote Mine Support is useless for us since we cant use it for Fire Nova Mines, FNM is automatically connected to mines. Remote Mine support you would use if you for example want to use freezing pulse mines.

Great work, thank you very much for this guide.

I have seen different links on reddit '' pastebin.com '' for Path of Building, I would like to know which advice to start the league Softcore.

Again, thank you very much and forgive me for my English.

Great Guide, just some Questions:

I am not rly Happy about the Chest and Blood Magic which brought me to a nice Idea:

Have you ever tried to use a +3 Fire Gem (+1 Socketed Gems and +2 Fire Gem) 6linked Staff? The DMG in POEBuilder is higher then the 7 link in Chest and can even be pushed further using a +3 Empower

Fire Nova Mine:
lev 21: 140 - 210 dmg
lev 22: 152 - 228 dmg
lev 23: 166 - 249 dmg
lev 24: 181 - 271 dmg (only the Staff, we already have 30% more Base dmg then plain lev 21)
lev 25: 197 - 295 dmg
lev 26: 214 - 324 dmg
lev 27: 232 - 349 dmg (staff + Empower 4, thats 66% more Base damage)

Fire penetration would reach lev 27 too if we want to, 7% more penetration then lev 21.

now throw in a Kaoms for even more firedmg and Life or any other good Unique or Rare Body Armor

Just an Idea, i try to somehow find a work around to beat the last Bosses, if Fire Nova Mine would be on Mana you could fix the Problem with high level Clarity and high Mana Pool.

i am totaly aware that using a 6 linked +3 Staff isnt a League Starter item!


btw: does gain flask charges on crit work with fire nova mine?

i played a Staff char once with 4 linked gloves with 14% More attackspeed: Leap Slam - Faster Attack - Curse on Hit - Curse you want - it was freaking fast in clearing maps without any further Attackspeed mods

this would also open up 1 Blasphemy Curse and give you more free Mana
