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

you should look into dropping Minefield for a better damage support once you get the "place an additional mine" mod on your Shaper helmet. you'll do a lot more damage, but with less Arc coverage (half as many potential hits, but I still clear multiple packs with a single "cast")

PoB should make it easy to realize, but I can go into numbers if you're not seeing it. before the Shaper helmet, Minefield triples the number of mines you place. after the Shaper helmet, Minefield only doubles the number of mines you place, so other supports end up being stronger. this provides a noticeable boost to DPS and a MASSIVE boost to your fully-prepped single-target burst

great guide nonetheless :D

Hi!

Great guide, very smooth levelling!

But I see so many posts on reddit about builds killing the syndicate in 1 second and them having problems because they stack up on top of each other, meanwhile I am having a really hard time with single target damage

I know my gear is not great yet, but I am unsure what to improve in order to get better single target damage... feels like I am a long way from being able to tackle shaper/guardians

Here is my current gear (level 87):

Had a blast leveling this build, used it as my starter. 87 at the moment and it was smooth, strong and even the Betrayal content, albeit challenging, was quite doable. Flame Dash is definitely a life saver. Can only recommend it, played it SSF so far. As Essence Worms are still at a ridiculous price, I will play something else inbetween. But I will definitely return to this great Saboteur later in this league!

You lack Crit Multiplier, Essence Worm + Wrath, a 6L, a Stygian Vise with yet another Abyss jewel. And your amulet is pretty lackluster too. So, many places you can look at :)



Here a few items my Saboteur uses right now, also 87. Go for something along those lines. And yeah I know, that wand was one hell of a lucky drop.

Edit: Also just noticed, you miss out a lot especially on single target damage if you dont use Vaal Arc in your 5L setup. That boost is quite something.

Reached act 4 today, clear speed is so good with arc mines. Are there any useful leveling wands/sceptres that can make things easier around these levels?

Hey, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for this guide - I'm still kinda new to the game and decided to use this as my starter for Betrayal and so far so good! I'm currently level 77 and am farming currency for an Essence Worm.

I don't quite get the point of the spell totem/detonate mines combo, though. My understanding is that it's supposed to detonate mines any time I place them nearby - does that sound right?

Thanks again!

You use it for bosses where you have to move around quickly

Open your character list by clicking on your profil picture, and select the character. From there you should be able to see items on your character, as well as in the inventory.

To post them here, you do the same thing you'd do in-game; ctrl+alt+click on the items you wanna post.

Having a blast with a variant of this build! Just came here to recommend some additional endgame options:


Belt: delve craft with pristine and metallic
Lavianga: just great with mom in general or mine spamming
And the extra crit Diamond flask. You get it by (SPOILER ALERT)...
