Fantastic mapper
one question tho: why i see in video you seem very fluid with minefield, with the tailwind ascendency i still notice the clunkyness, i died a couple of time just standing there throwing mines, so i use swift assembly instead. Any idea when to use minefield or its just that my technical skill is bad?

I find the early game acts brutally difficult compared to other builds solely because of the pathing we do and limited damage we have. I feel we grab a ton of life on the tree that I wouldn't normally for the first 3 acts.

I saw that there was some talk of a pconc version of leveling. Do you have that around still? Or recommendations to make it faster? I don't mind having to respec around 20-30 passives if it means that my leveling experience is 3x better.

I saw that you utilize vaal side areas, can I ask 1)how do you profit/do them? And 2) Will you be using the new keystone and vaal nodes this league?

Hello,

I wanted to express my gratitude for the comprehensive build guide and informative videos that introduced me to the icicle playstyle. I've been enjoying exploring it.

I have a suggestion or request. Would it be feasible to create a consolidated Path of Building file encompassing all the different versions, including various Skill/Tree/Item setups? Currently, the main page's arrangement feels a bit chaotic, and having a unified PoB might greatly simplify the understanding and progression of the different options.

Thank you for considering this, and once again, thank you for your valuable resources!

Theres potential trick to get more burst damage vs boss. Icicle mine hits 1x per mine, but tornado skill, during chargeup phase, allows to chain off itself into boss. It basically works like hydrosphere before it got nerfed, added 1s cooldown. Duration is short, but you can preload mines, then cast tornado before detonating them and you get 20 chains that go back to boss. With amount of proj icicle mine has, and fact only 1 can chain per mine, you can get consistent 20 extra hits, and then after tornado deals that damage as dot. It is much better burst than using same setup with eye of winter, where all proj can hit (shotgun), so tornado only gets some % of them chained back, it isn't true double damage, more like 20-30%.
With icicle mine if you time this right, your first 20 mines hit 40x including that extra chain off tornado.

As for leveling, whats your prefered way? Level 1 icicle mine after merveil sucks, damage is really low, unless you have decent flat damage to spells wands.
Build also doesn't really take any mine nodes initially, so it could technically run any spell, trap or bow skills. I feel like icicle mine gets good after 1st lab with tailwind on, starts to be good.
