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

Hi, great guide. This is my first time playing a mine character. If I could get someone to look at my toon and give me some pointers on what I should do for an upgrade and such, that would be great. Oni_Strad is the toon.

What's up with the tremor rod? Is a 6l TR just as good or better than a wand/sceptre/shield for the price of 3-4ex? I'm thinking of going the 6L remor rod route with a 5-6link loreweave and kaom's roots for tankiness. I just don't know if it would be wiser to spend that kind of currency with a different setup...any advice would be great!

" With CotB, I would assume that added lightning should be much better than lightning pen, no? Good thing to upgrade would be flasks. get quality, get a instant life flask, consider Lavianga's and definitely get the adrenaline suffix for movement speed! A part from that, just get a few levels, get some jewels, and get a bit of currency together to then get some bigger upgrades. You should probably look for at least some critmulti on your amulet. And I would advise some chaos res to survive high lvl incursions. |

Hi There,
whats the purpose of mine arming speed? coz im thinking for arc miner whats the use of demolition specialist, might be better with explosive expert. |
|
" I use Tremor Rod and I like it, though I never ran other setup so can't compare. Anyway, damage is good (shaper guardians take less then a minute for example, I think about 30 seconds but didn't measure, shaper is also a joke). I expect Tremor Rod is less damage, but if it kills all things - it seems I don't need more anyway. And big benefit is 60% mine laying speed on it - I lay down mines veeery fast. I also stopped using Lightning Spire Trap at all - Arc mine damage is good enough even for bosses (ensure you have lvl21 arc, that's important) and trap is slow to throw. I use it only for Shaper before he engages, and even thinking to drop Loreweave for Kaom. Speaking of that - maybe someone knows a good defensive setup I can put in 6L loreweave? |

hey, thanks a bunch for the detailed guide. However, I just got to maps and my damage is really really bad. Some mobs take about 4-5 mine lays to kill. Bosses also take a really long time. Someone mind looking at my char? Cyriec. I must be doing something wrong. Ignore the gem links as they are given, I run the suggested links while playing.

" Yeah I'm using kaom's roots but I miss the cwdt/ic set-up. I am wondering if I should use a defensive setup in my loreweave instead of lightning spire... |

" Your weapon, amulet, and especially shield do not have any Crit chance/multiplier. You shield especially doesn't offer much at all. the chest is missing so I don't know what you are using. The rings and glove have element damage to attacks, those don't do anything. Generally, you want elemental damage to spells, crit chance/crit multiplier (and gain x elemental or non-chaos damage as chaos damage as chaos in weapon) for offense. Resist, HP, and mana for defense. Also, abyssal jewels and clear mind jewel are huge. as for links, like many others said, for Arc (aim for lvl 21 in the future), use added lightning dmg-controlled destruction-minefield (before you get place addition mine helm)-trap and mine-lightning penetration for 6L. use Path of builder to check it's really helpful to see what gem to use and other set up. |

For people have done Uber elder, is kaom's roots really needed. I know it's good to have for the siphon and I never tried Uber elder before (i did shaper and red elder).
Also, would anyone be kindly point me out what improvement i can make gear wise or gem link (the green sockets are for bear trap and vaal grace for hard bosses, but I doubt I have much time for bear trap for uber elder)? Character is Keniff |

" Thanks a bunch for the reply, I'll try the changes. BTW im using a tabula for the chest, moved it to a different char haha |
