[3.12] Secrets of Suffering GLACIAL CASCADE miner | boss killer | works in budget / League starter |

17/09/2020 : updated the base version and cluster version of the PoB and 3 trees for level 60, 80 and 100 for both.
added some item variant and important mods.
The idea behind the change are : having a lot more area of effect. We aim for our last cascade to hit the boss, we know that this last cascade will have "Final Burst has 100% more Area of Effect". By that, theoretically, the last spike will be big enough to hit monsters when you place your mine at the correct distance (need to be proven but should be good enough) if you have a good inc AoE. Don't hesitate to comment if you have any idea that could improve the build ! Thanks to everyone who asked questions.
20/09/2020 : Please, note that because it is the start of the league, The interrogation is pretty expensive. You can buy this base type to have Secret of Suffering :

21/09/2020 : changed the tree for level 60 where you can grab the inc cold ailment effect on the tree.
24/09/2020 : removed Ming's heart. Added in rings: "look for chaos res"

Please use PoB fork to have more precise informations.

Cluster Jewel: https://pastebin.com/jZVutKV5
Low Life version (mid-tier budget) : https://pastebin.com/0gV2Dxsd (not 3.12 updated)

The order can be changed but it is the best one for levelling up.
1st : "Pyromaniac" because reduced mana reserved and life regeneration are nice to have will leveling.
2nd : "Born in the Shadows" gives us a lot of defence (monster have 1/2 chance to hit and if they hit us, we take 10% reduced damage).
3rd : "Bomb Specialist" gives us enough AoE for the whole build, increased damage and Detonation speed wich is very good against bosses. It grants also some throwing speed.
4th: : "Explosives Expert" AoE, defence, and very nice damage.

A Budget stuff should look like:

Expensive stuff :

Main Skill (Body Armour):

Order of importance is : Glacial Cascade > Blastchain mine > Minefield > Increased Area of Effect > Trap and Mine damage > Controlled Destruction
We are using Blastchain mines because we got good detonation speed and we really got time to activate all of our mines. Blast chain mine support make our Glacial Cascade into a mine skill, and grant 5% MORE damage for each prior mine in detonation sequence. For example: if we consider that we've threw the maximum number of mines (23), the last mine will do 23 * 5 = 115% MORE damage. The 10th mine to detonate will do 10 * 5= 50% MORE damage. The other support gem that transform a skill into a mine skill is :

wich makes our mines apply to nearby ennemies 2% percent chance to take double damage up to 100% chance. You can apply up to 100% percent chance thanks to "increased effect of non-curse auras" because mines are considered as auras but we'll need to have more aura effect. 2 reasons why we don't use it:
1st: we would need to invest more in increased aura effect, so lose of damage 2nd: the fact that we have chance to deal double damage as a mod in our wand. You can use this support if you prefer it.

Frost bomb & righteous fire :

Link Frost bomb and Vaal righteous fire with Increased duration support
We take Vaal Righteous fire because it grant us 28% MORE spell damage and Frost bomb to apply a cold exposure that reduce ennemies elemental resistance by 25%. We want both of them to have increased duration.
Withering step :

We want to use Withering step because it grant elusive and wither ennemies in range (we want ennemies to have the "wither" debuff in range to apply the elemental penetration from the new enchant on the belts : "Enemies Withered by you have -6% to all Resistances". Sadly, I don't have it on mine but it would be nice to have it). Link it with Inc AoE support to apply more easily wither and Second Wind support to increase its cooldown recovery speed.
Steel skin:

We use steelskin linked with increased duration and we bind it on our move key to have it the most of the time. It is only for defensive purposes.
CoDT :

Because we got Steeskin in our move key, we use immortal call in our "Cast on Damage Taken" setup.
Summon Skitterbots:

We link Summon skitterbots with Enlighten (to reserve less mana) and Infernal Legion and Bonechill support. Infernal legion makes our skitterbots inflict "ignite" to ennemies near them. Thanks to that, our ascendancy "Explosives Expert" makes us have +30% to critical strike multiplier against Burning ennemies. Bone chill make enemies take increased cold damage. If you are using the cluster jewel version, you will have trouble using Infernal legion and Bonechill support, you should only use Bonechill support. Note that Secrets of Suffering doesn't affect player's minions, skitterbots are considered as minions. So, they inflict chill, ignite and shock. It is the mandatory aura for every miner.
Flame dash:

We obviously link our flame dash with Arcane surge support because it grants us 13% MORE damage for 4 seconds after using flame dash. Remember to have it to level 7 max (depend on the mana cost of flame dash, read what does Arcane Surge Support) to proc it at every flame dash. We use Second wind support to use flame dash more often.
Clarity :

Kill all because none of them grants us anything better than 2 points. (You can save alira for league start because it helps us to cap our resistance)
