[3.9] Windz's Generic Miner Sabo (Arc/Pyroclast focused)

Any thoughts on 'dream fragment + normal boots + Born in the shadows (blind)' vs 'kaoms roots + normal ring + explosives expert'?

I'm really inclined to the former, since we already have a lot of damage...

Im going with Dream fragment + normal boots and this asc:
Bomb Specialist -> Explosives Expert -> Pyromaniac -> Born in the Shadows

I will see how many times i will roll temp. chains map mod - pretty annoying, so maybe i will change to kaoms + DS without Born in the Shadows

Yeah now I'm un-sure which to get. Does the 8% aoe per mine mine it adds up for each mine when you detonate them all? Gotta get a feel for how quick mines arm as well I guess..they seem to arm quickly as is.

I think you get 8% bonus for each mine laying on the ground, so during mapping you will place 3 or 4 at a time - so 24-32% bonus, on the boss that bonus doesnt matter, Explosive Expert got 20% bonus all the time + dmg + pen

DS is really worth it IMO. your mines are _way_ faster, also the AoE is so huge you start clearing 1,5 screens in 1 sec

_way_ faster - from 0.5 arming speed to 0.25 - arming speed only affects after how much time i can detonate mines, i really dont feel that huge difference between 0.5 vs 0.25.

AoE is so huge - well its exactly 24% with 3 mines placed at time - you dont need aoe at boss, and during mapping i rly not much often place more than 3 mines at a time.

So its 24% aoe increase vs 20% + 20% aoe dmg and 10% ele pen with Explosive Expert

With the newly added extra AoE from Asendancy change, is Carcass Jack still the best chest for this build?

Anyone mind checking my gear and telling me what I could improve on?
Find myself dieing really easy on maps now, my damage how ever seems fine.

get a shield with high life roll, a belt with better life roll (aim for at least 100 life total), way better boots with high life + MS, replace unset ring with high life ring

also you are transitioning into crit without a respec, you should get cruel preperation in witch area for additional 15% max life + res. for flasks you want anti-freeze and at least 1 instant life recov. flask. you are not a tank, so ou should move a lot -> high AS + MS to get around beefy mobs while placing mines.

IMO we should go for crit nodes last, i aim for jewels first to get more AS, damage, life.

First of all i would say - farm blood aquaduct for lvl 68+
Dont expect from Sabo miner to be tanky class, just play smart, never rush into packs of monster, always keep detonated mine before you and enemy

using this as a start setup. Have 18k h/o tooltip with lvl 18 GC hatred and fire golem and non-shaped stat stick

Threshold jewels are expencive as fuck this league...
