[3.17] Beginner Friendly Arc Mines Guide | All Content on 5L | Lvling Guide

I just 1 detonated a T16 Meta with Arc. Dam! i'll try those changes thx again would prefere arc over ball just cause of speed i prefere Arc

Right now, I using lightning pene with Arc, curse is only on cwdt so rarely applied. Do you think using watcher's eye with lightning pene will be overkill? Or maybe switch lightning pene gem into something else then? Thanks

ok i'm in a bit of a pickle here , i am playing for the first time a miner and there is something that i dont understand and its kinda annoying , when i throw a set of mines on the ground after i detonate it always apears another set that keeps my mana reserved so i need to detonate 2-3 times to release all the mines and because of that i always find myself way ahead with all mana reserved , needles to say i cant use a second aura and i dont know where i go wrong

Can't see your gear, the main thing with Lightning Penetration gem is you don't want to over-penetrate. If you are using Conductivity curse, Wise Oak, plus the passives/ascendancy, then penetration Watcher's won't be worth it. If you are just using passives/ascendancy, then probably better to use Watcher's. But factor in that you are only getting 1 damage mod unless you get a better Watcher's Eye.

Thanks. With gem have 46% penetration right now. Conductivity is connected to cwdt, so don't count it. Don't using wise, because have atziri promise, so I guess its worth a try.

added new belt/jewel n another jewel in passive tree/weapond + new ring now sitting at allmost 9.1 es thx again @Blackdeath for the help

I think you skilled the Saboteur skill on the tree. That enables you to detonate mines another time.

They already figured it out, it was Tremor Rod. Saboteur just lets you place more mines, not detonate them again.

Level of aura gems is usually always better at higher levels, but Precision and Clarity are 2 of the subjective ones. They reserve more mana the higher level they are.
Precision 1 - 40% crit chance and some accuracy that doesn't matter, 22 mana.
Precision 20 - 59% crit chance and some more accuracy that doesn't matter, 186 mana.
Thus, level 1 is better for the mana it reserves. Clarity is similar in that it gives a lot more mana regen, but we don't need that much to be effective. Better to keep low to reserve less mana.

So with those 3 auras, it should only reserve 35% for skitterbots + like a flat 22 for Precision and 76 for a level 4 Clarity.

So this gave me an idea, What if i tried using zealotry + skitterbots but with level 1 precision instead? I tried it out and only had enough mp to put 3-4 mines. But after using 4 points on the skill tree, my skills cost less mp and can put up to 15 mines while using other skills to escape such as flame dash. My dps improved alot by combining these 2 auras, what do you think?

Also, I noticed your are now not maxed on lightning res. If you're done gearing for now, switch your boot craft to lightning res.

do you mean chaos res? I have 149 fire res, 113 cold res , 78% lightning res and -60 chaos res

Also when do you use desecrate exactly? the dps seems rather weak so i end up forgetting about it

also since i managed to get win 10 ex last night i think i can upgrade some stuff. I'll start with my helmet , whats a better enchantment, 40% more arc damage or arc chaining 1 more time
