[3.4] Arc Mines Hall of Grandmasters Farming Build

Is Scorching Ray supposed to do single target damage in this build, if so, what am I doing wrong?

At Lvl 70, I am doing 1318 DoT DPS with SR 4 linked. Is that acceptable?

It's just for the regen tanks.

For those interested I've put together my own budget test for this build. 3.6k life, no jewels other than clear mind and gem/supports are all 19 or below (most below). Managed to 10 hogm with maybe 15 deaths total after a few practice runs.

Check out my profile and take a look.

Did some mapping tests as well, Arc is ok to map with, but struggles with very high density sometimes (breaches) and the single target is not amazing. As OP said, glacial cascade feels a lot better, and can easily be swapped into if you have a tabula and 1 chromatic for essence worm.

Why is this "not beginner friendly"? The budget, skills, or understanding a gem setup?

Hi, im pretty much interested in ur build for next league, i have a few questions:
1) Is it good league starter? Can i farm bosses or endgame content easily from beginning?
2) What about keeping all your maps in atlas completed, will it affect your income from maps, and what map drop tier is highest possible in HoGM?
3)What alternative skills can i use for mines in this build, like GC or something else?
Thank you!

does Doryani's Invitation (lightning) belt let us leech from Arc mines going off? I cant test right now but am curious.

Thank you!

1), 3) I recommend GC for this purpose... Check out any of the GC guides on the forum for further information!

2) Map drops are a big part of your income! (check out my loot...)

Deadliest map; Proper Atlas (map drops are a big part of the income)

So why Shakari? I have died to poison in the map from a caustic cloud arrow dude. Wondering if there is a better option. And as far as sustaining flasks, thoughts?

Everything else seems useless.

Thanks a lot for this build !
Long time HoGM was uncompleted in my atlas,but now i just spend ~1.5ex for cheap version of your build(i buyed skill gems) and can easily farm it(not deathless,but i play softcore so its ok to die sometimes).
Amazing

Noob question: What if we swap arc mines to arc totems? Using corresponding items and tree notes. Will it be as good viable as mines?
