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

May I know why Low Life version is not recommended? :)
Hi,

I think LL version would be great for not having mana issues (like not linking bonechill to your Skitterbots or not using aspect of the spider).


I checked your 'expensive stuff' 's helmet and I wonder why you didn't 4-link it. Increase Duration Support will support both IC and SS while the CWDT will only work with IC (if you use those with the same gem levels as mentionned). Wouldn't it be better ?


If LL is a viable version, I'd love going for it for Heist.



EDIT : The belt slot is missing in the expensive gear showcase.

So they nerfed base damage a lot :
Old : Deals (37-354) to (56-531) Physical Damage
New : Deals (21-207) to (32-311) Physical Damage

but it can go up to 200% for the final spike. If I trust the video, there is 4 spikes, I'm guessing first 0%, second 50%, third 100% and fourth 200% ?
So we need to aim where we throw our mines now... Idk...

Low life can be a good "mid-tier" build because it grant us good damage without having an expensive amulet, shield and body armour, but we can't use the keystone "Corrupted Soul" wich gives us a lot of extra defence when we play with life and some notable that gives us inc max life. If we play LL, we will need to have more defences on our item too because you can't really play LL with less than 6k energy shield. Playing LL will gives us Zealotry, discipline and an additional link on our skitterbot but, overall, a chest with an additional curse and base crit, plus an amulet with "phys as extra", multiplier and penetration, and a shield wich gives us high increased critical strike chance (wich is nice because we got high base thanks to brittle), inc damage, and high defences mods (like life or resistances) are better than playing LL I think.
Conclusion : LL nice but you can have more damage and survivability by going life but you will need more currency.

I should have linked inc duration with steelskin that I use on my move key.

For the next patch, im looking for a way to make our mines detonate far from the boss in order to have the 200% MORE damage.

I'm planning on making a GC miner starter build, is this a good option on 3.12?
I am going to try doing GC Totem and if that doesn't work right then switch it to Divine Ire Totem at end game.

I am also tempted to try a curse build with all of the new changes but everyone will be doing it so the good gear might be a lot more expensive

what do you think about doing GC Totem instead of GC Mines ? I should be able to use your build with a few tweaks or try a totem specific build.

If you are going Totems, you are not going to benefit from Pyromaniac or Bomb Specialist. You should consider Hierophant and follow a BL or GC specific tree.

Here is one you can build for yourself that will get you to 70. https://pastebin.com/NhETazsW

Ah, I got it :)
Thanks for replying. Can't wait for your update after the patch hit :)
Keep it up!!
Do you think that nerf to the gem will compensate for that extra 200% of damage? The tree is still the same or are you considering making any changes to it? I want to make your version but I still have doubts ..


what do you think guys?
