[3.4] Fire Nova Mine - Perfect League Starter - Low Budget - FAST - HC Viable

Actually thats the first build with Fire Nova Mine I ever played in Beta right now. I think it's an awesome league starter, as you said you seriously need zero gear to get it going. I just want to mention that I found the build not really clunky at all, because you mentioned that so often in your video. Only did normal Lab until now, I am currently in Act 5, and it already feels quite smooth and I imagined it would be way worse from your statements.

Thanks for the guide, really cool, I am going to do this as a league starter and let my newbie friend play the Sunder Gladiator I initally wanted to start into the league with.

using this build in 3.0 and most say its crazy fun to play with =) thanks for sharing

what can u recommend for 2 char that is little more expensive??

Hard to tell as long as we dont have the official patch notes but I am sure people will create awesome new meta builds. You should be busy with playing FNM for the first 2-3 weeks and then just take a look at the flavor of the month builds.

Okey ye thats true!! Will the builds in beta be deleted when official release is up??

Yes, beta characters will be deleted.

Playing this build on beta, it is crazy amounts of fun and is my first ever mines build! While it is incredibly fun, I'm not too happy with the survivability. I have pretty bad gear which may be the problem here, I am only on 2k life and 500ES at level 55 Act 8 which is not enough for surviving bosses, I've been one-shot a few times (also due to me not knowing the new bosses' mechanics).

Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is it just squishy while leveling?

Since it's a shadow and you dont get too much access to life nodes early on, you might be a little squishy while leveling. If your gear doesn't provide lots of life, it might be hard. I usually try to get a decent leather belt with 120+ life and some rings/ amu with life , can get them pretty cheap like 1-2 c each.

Ye but that's just how it is as shadow :(

Hey, was wondering if you could test out spark with your setup on the beta using the new threshhold gems. Could probably easily get 30k per spark and with around 13 projectiles thats a lot of potential damage coming with minefield.

Edit: something like this https://pastebin.com/Atk2QbFn spark gets to about 47k and 13 proj ( 6 gem 4 jewels 3 helm chant) with realistic gear definitely wouldn't be a hc viable build but for strand might be good and for the bosses you can trap them in the corner or wherever so shock hits them more often.

Edit 2: oh im dumb and thought spark would hit once per projectile not once per cast every 1 second so probably not very good

Hey, looking to run this build in the new 3.0 HC league. Wondering if you've thought about/tried a MoM build? You'd have to drop a Blasphemy curse and run Clarity but you could probably get 1.2-1.5k unreserved mana with the nodes behind MoM and some mana rolls on gear.

Would most definately not being running crit as wouldn't have the points but it'd be fairly tanky with 5.5k+ life, 2k ES and 1.5k unreserved. Guess it would just be the tradeoff between the curse and the life regen/acro that you'd lose if you went MoM

I know that MoM is pretty strong atm but I am personally just not a fan of MoM.
My main problem with MoM is the following scenario:

Let's pretend you get hit hard by really tough mobs/bosses, that is the moment you really rely on being able to lay down mines as fast as possible to get out of the danger and kill them. But that is also the moment your mana goes to 0 due to Mind Over Matter; that way you wont be able to spam mines exactly at the time you need it the most. Didn't try it with that build but with some other builds in the past, and never was a fan of MoM. If you sacrifice crit (let's say for HC Build) I think life + liferegen (marauder tree) or phase acro / acro / evasion is still a better choice than mom.

Also the double curse setup is insanely good and I wouldn't wanna miss out on that.

Might be a good idea but don't really have the time to check it out, sry.
