.....and to be on topic, is realm ender - flameblast still the best alternate solution for bosses?

Eus knows this better than I but eventually stopped using FB on most bosses just because of convenience. Once you have many of your gems leveled up/boosted quality for EK links the DPS is pretty substantial. The only exception that i remember from legacy league is that i preferred still using FB in Atziri for the queen herself and the 2 vessels.

Yeah. Flameblast is totally optional in this build and I stopped using it early in mapping when I ran this build. EK should totally be fine on its own.

I should have things properly updated for 3.0. I still have to figure out which of the Pantheon powers are best for this build, but that is about it.

i'd say lunaris with the third upgrade is the best of major gods - no chained attacks can hit you
and of minor gods i use abberath for no burning ground effect

btw, what is the reason behind not taking oak's reward?

Yeah, that's where I'm leaning with Pantheon major gods. I'm pretty sure everyone swaps between anti-burning ground and life flask recharge for minor gods, depending on what you're doing (aka, lab).

I like the passive points better than Oak because of the timing when you get them and that I see them as roughly equal, which means I tend to go towards the flexibility of passive points. I'd totally spend one passive point for 1% life regeneration, and the 20% increased damage and 2% decreased physical damage taken is also probably worth another passive point.

If you want to take Oak, he isn't a bad choice and the build will work perfectly fine. I don't think it'd make a noticeable difference.

i can see your saboteur build is doing well this league, could you link the build guide you used to create your character? i think i might try something like that next league

Oh, I was working on it on my own and then saw ZiggyD was working on a miner as well, so I just kind of merged his and mine together, so a full guide doesn't exist but it uses a number of his concepts.

Do you have any recommendations for what gods to pick on the pantheon?

Thanks for the info, I googled it and came to that conclusion before I saw your answer.
You made a dodge miner, very cool concept, especially using Hinekora's sight.
I'm still leveling mine, but it feels really powerful already.
I hope I'm not ruining this thread with questions about this unconnected build, but I need some info about which pantheon powers you use and which bandit reward did you take (I took Eramir's reward, but then I found myself in serious resistance problems so I switched it to Alira's reward).

No worries about asking on the current build. It's pretty powerful. Path of Building has my setup at around 800,000 DPS when everything is clicking right. This build, as a note, completely destroys Uber Izaro if you're into lab farming.

For bandits, I took the two points and went in for heavy resistance gear.

For the Pantheon, my most used ones are Soul of Abberath (anti-burning ground) and Soul of Ryslatha (gain life flask charges) when it comes to minor gods. For major gods, I primarily use a fully-upgraded Soul of Lunaris (because of all the dodge goodness). Sometimes (like if I've decided to go run the Overgrown Ruin bosses) I switch to Soul of Arakaali for the anti-degen setup. I've fully upgraded most of the Pantheon powers at this point, so I have options, but if I had to pick just one I'd choose Soul of Lunaris to upgrade. I wouldn't go into the Overgrown Ruin fight without Soul of Arakaali though.
