What do you think about Carcass Jack over the rare armor chest piece you have? I know you lose armor for Evasion, but I think the Area Damage and the overall boost to your damage is too good to pass up.


Yeah sure feel free to go for a carcass. I just didn't want to invest more currenzy into my build and safe up for a 2nd build. But carcass is for sure a pretty awesome upgrade.

Awesome! Was wondering whether I needed to go CI or not with mines. What do you say about crit?

:: On second thought, this build rakes in enough damage without crit.


I wouldnt go CI, since you lose EB by doing so and have more mana probs. Also (but thats just me) I am not a big fan of CI without leech , I prefer to spam my health flasks to stay safe. You ' d probably have to get out of fight all the time to regen your ES, which kinda sucks.

About crit: If I were softcore I would probably ditch the templar area and go for crit. But it's not really that necessary as you already found out yourself. I think crit is always an all or nothing thing. If you go for crit you should invest a lot of points in crit and multiplier and also in crit and multiplier on your gear to make it worth it.

Just tried to do breach lord and figure out that it is totally doable, the ice one is a little bit tough. However, haven't try out the chaos one yet.

And I tried to do two Guardian, Phoenix and Minotaur, used 2 portal each to take down both of them, just put down Decoy totem and mine together and fight slowly. Notice that I am not using EB anymore.

please post your char! =)
Thanks for the build, I'm enjoying it.

I'm only on a 5L, but my Mana problems haven't been so big that I that do take EB/ZO. I'm currently lvl 81 and have completed your skill tree (without EB/ZO), so I will have ~8-10 points left to spend. I've only been to t10 maps, so still a bit away from the highest tiers. With that in mind do you have a recommendation on what is best to focus on? Fire dmg? Cast speed to get mines out quicker? Attack speed for shield charge? Life for tankiness?

I'm seeing
- 2 points: 14% inc. mine damage nodes at Volatile Mines
- 5 points: fire dmg nodes at Heart of flame (71% fire dmg, 3% fire res penetration)
- 4 points: Go to snowforged node (43% fire dmg, 30% crit)
- 6 points: 3 jewel slots nearby (could be filled with 7% life + 15% fire dmg and maybe a 3rd useful stat each, sounds quite good?)
- 3 points: 12% cast speed at Shadow start or at Nimbleness
- 3 points: 9% inc cast and attack speed at Precision
- 3 points: 12% attack speed at Shadow start
- 4 points: 15% life at Melding

I think my character page is public, you can have a look with that =)
Hi, wanted to thank you for a !nicebuild.
So far it's been fun, reached maps with relative ease, however late merciless and starting maps at ~75 was kinda hard and face many deaths.

Currently looking at ~3k tooltip dps with 40% helm enchant(3-4ex for 2x trigger mines was too expensive for me)
after maxing res's and getting dual curse merc izaro was very smooth.

Dmg by my calculations is around 70-90k while 11 mines are layed. I plan getting better shield and start looking how to improve dps.
Also I haven't got eldrich yet, instead I went for that life node cluster that's opposite of zealoth oath. With Voll's vision hp was around 4,5-4,9k.

Oh and this can be quite MF build aswell, running item rarity on 6 link and still clear trash with ease.

Would you update skilltree for lv 100 tree?
Would it be sensible to take melding and Fire walker?

Items:
Spoiler


this helmet helped a lot 70-80 progress

I would probably go for Jewel Slots or towards Heart of flame.

I am not a fan of posting a lvl 100 build , after spending those 108 points you should just aim for whatever you feel lacks the most at the moment. As stated above I'd probably go for Heart of flame + Jewel slots.

I loved your build up until I died during my first merc dried lake run because I hadn't equipped CWDT. Is there a method to detonating mines fast at bosses? Do I just spam click and D at the same time or is there more to it?

Also, two small questions about your skill tree:
Why do you take Fangs of the Viper? Is it for the movement speed?

On the volatile mines wheel, why do you take the 10%dmg+20%dur node instead of the 14% dmg node? Does the duration have a benefit I'm missing?
