[3.13] HC/SC/SSF All Content Miner - Any Mine Skill - LL/CI - 12k ES w/ Videos!

Your wand-crafting-mod "attacks with this weapon..." doesn't affect your damage, that's not working with BL. If there is Standing "damage...", that works. THe wand itself is not bad.

Try to get awakening lightning Penetration and remove added lightning damage for it.

the Combo elder/shaper ring makes really good dps, but u loose a lot of ES out of it. If u want more ES, u have to replace both rings.

helmet and boots has low Es, remember, that INT also gives good ES, maybe u can find something with INT (but u loose 1 Suffix for res btw.)

the belt also could use an upgrade, +33 ES only and aspect. the attack-mod doesn't work, like above. Try to get a %ES one.

on the tree, i would respec arcane will and the node on the way to it and get the jewel socket near Mind drinker. There is a good spot for a watchers eye jewel...
The medium Cluster with mine damage is ok, but Aura would be better. Therefore u are missing the wheel under chaos innoculation, with the influence skill, all 3 nodes. But u Need to Level for more nodes. Also good would be a thread of hope jewel and put it in the socket near mystic bulwark, then remove the nodes until deep wisdom and get this node with thread of hope, and utmost intellect as well. Prodical perfection is then the next upgrade when u Level more.

Later, the sorrow-flask should be replaced with bottled faith, when u are richer :) And the prism Guardian could be changed to a good corrupted one.

just my hints, have fun!

Im thinking of respeccing an SSF trickster i made at league start to try out mines and im wondering now the dust has settled and more is known about skills, what would be the best PoB link to follow for SSF?

I`ll take how survivability over most things if that changes anything to the answer.

Thanks for help with this

Edit: looked on Poe Ninja and most seem to be using Glacial Cascade

BL still has the most power, GC is lacking for sure.

So trying to figure out what would be the best upgrade I could get right now. I feel like I have decent gear overall, could use better ES boots but they're pricey. I have a 5L Shavs and can buy a 6L but no idea how big of an actual upgrade it is damage wise and such. I usually just die because I'm a bad player sometimes and still learning. I've been able to do all Conqs and Sirus at A6 while I work on the Atlas.

Pretty much everything has low ES on it. That would be my priority, along with the 6 link.

As the above poster pointed out, you have some crafted mods that are doing very little, if anything. The crafted life is also wasted.

Sorrow of the Divine also isnt helping, better to pick up a utility flask there, or wise oak if you want more dps.

has some one tried to do Hall of Grandmaster Map?
1-2 of this dudes just dont die.... will it get better with Block Chance Reduction Support?

With BL it’s the recovery on block guys. Can use flame wall, or swap to GC/Icicle.

:) @BeerLeague thks - next wipe i will try this out

Yup no problem. Actually any mine skill other than BL works well. It’s just that the hits are too small to kill them with the high block recovery.

@BeerLeague i am actually still rocking Pyrocast Mine :)
Maybe i have missplaced the mines somehow two times vs this one dude
the problem is that, if he hits me one time, i was instant dead. Is it possible hat he is doing something with chaos damage? Its just one close range attack


Could you maybe have a last short view and and say if i miss something?

+2 Shield would cost around 20 ex, and its to much for just 1 level :)
WE is not the best but the one with two good stats where way to expensive to the last time i checked.

I am sitting right now on 10.2k ES

With this helmet i have spent so much time :( and only was abtle to hit 300ES, on my second char i could hit 350 after 10 tryis :)
and there is not better helmet available for sail at all

Hmm, that should be fine. If you stack the mines at the start of each encounter, it should be fairly easy.

Hey there,
I took a break after league start and came back to try this build with Ball Lightning to see if i click with the mine-playstyle and i have to say that I really like it a lot.
The guide is very in-depth and helped me get over the hurdles after the acts.
However, I'm now struggling on three fronts in later maps (T14+)
1) ES: Despite following (hopefully) everything down to a T in the section "how to get more ES" > "Step 1: Get to 8k ES" I'm only at 7.2k ES and that's despite me gotten lucky and having rolled 3 Points "Small passive skills also grant: +20 to maximum Energy Shield" on a "Energy from Nought" cluster. (So basically 140 base ES for 3 points investment).
I would start with the next step in the section and am currently looking for %ES on rings, as well as getting Defense Catalysts for my belt and a "Energy from Within" Jewel. But I think that might still put me short of 8k.
Is there anything I'm missing? I could roll for a new Helmet (280ES and BL Enchant) but I'd have to buy another base so I still have my current one to fall back on in case i get unlucky.
2) Mana: Ever since I got aspect of the spider on my belt, I found that I'm running dry on longer boss fights. Currently I have 233 Mana (of 1061) and I'm dry after about 15 preplaced mines. If the fight takes longer than say 45s my mana-flask is depleted and my regen wont really cover anything (currently 30/s). What can I do to solve this? Currently I'm either forced to die or to log-off in order to refill my flask. Im thinking of taking 2 or 3 mana flasks for conqs or Sirus, but that takes away a lot of damage, which brings me to point 3:
3) Damage: I don't quite understand which stats I can actually profit from. Earlier in the build I scraped together all my (then) currency and bought a wand with Spell Damage (69) flat lightning to spells (5-91), increased critical for spells (88) and +1 level of all lightning gems.
Since I got 3 exa yesterday, I would take that as the opportunity to improve in the damage department but again, I dont quite know how and if I just search for high spell damage (80+) and high crit (80+) with lightning gems, I end up in the 10 exa+ range.
And Tips here how I can improve here? It doesnt need to fit my budget exactly, I'm aware that you cant demand damage XY on a budget, but I'd at least like to know how I can improve, what to look out for and what I should expect to pay for that.

Other than that, thanks so much for the guide. I usually only have time for one build per league, and my chosen starter really was a disappointment but this build really helped me find fun in poe again.
