you should look into dropping Minefield for a better damage support once you get the "place an additional mine" mod on your Shaper helmet. you'll do a lot more damage, but with less Arc coverage (half as many potential hits, but I still clear multiple packs with a single "cast")
PoB should make it easy to realize, but I can go into numbers if you're not seeing it. before the Shaper helmet, Minefield triples the number of mines you place. after the Shaper helmet, Minefield only doubles the number of mines you place, so other supports end up being stronger. this provides a noticeable boost to DPS and a MASSIVE boost to your fully-prepped single-target burst
great guide nonetheless :D
Yes, I believe people take out minefield for bosses but leave it in for general mapping
Reached act 4 today, clear speed is so good with arc mines. Are there any useful leveling wands/sceptres that can make things easier around these levels?
Not many good leveling wands or sceptres. The +1 lightning wand should hard carry
Hey, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for this guide - I'm still kinda new to the game and decided to use this as my starter for Betrayal and so far so good! I'm currently level 77 and am farming currency for an Essence Worm.
I don't quite get the point of the spell totem/detonate mines combo, though. My understanding is that it's supposed to detonate mines any time I place them nearby - does that sound right?
Thanks again!
This is correct.
I usually only use the combo in delves because I can be lazy and hold down right click :)
hey. i liked this build so much. it gives everything we need without any investment.
and i need help about usin smoke mine setup. dont understand how to use and lost tons of exp trying to figure. with light spire and arc setup not much slot left on skill set. any tip for usin smoke mine? and i am thinking to get eldri battery node with another mom helm. cause i guess mom makes us a lot tankier.
also what about using this flask
here my build, will be good any suggestion so i can improve my character.
People usually just use smoke mine for the movement speed, the blink is meh
Hello! How do you handle Chaos damage with this build? Talking about the Chaos Spitters in Incursions
You can use atziri's promise when you do chayula. With the vaal constructs you just can't place mines right in their face because they will stack on you.
Phase acro + vaal grace are also god tier for them

does this mean I put my arc on my helm and put lightning spire on my chest and remove minefield for more damage? I'm kinda new so am confused. Because to my understanding doesnt the mod only affect the gems on the helm?
Also I see a lot of builds using controlled destruction on the helm with lightning spire how come you chose differently for this build?
Also would it be possible to transition into a late-game GC boss killer with the +1 mine enchant on the helm? like 6L arc pseudo on helm and 6L GC or would lightning spire just be enough?
Thank you! I'm just curious as all these information is so overwhelming lol.
Been having great success with the build so far though :D

Yes, once you have a helmet with "Place an additional mine", you can switch out Minefield for something else (best to check PoB with your character, it will tell you which one suits you the best).
That is also the right moment to change Arc from your 6L chest to your helmet, and using another skill in the chest. For example Glacial Cascade.

Lots of times those gems are just a way stronger combination over time. PoB helps here.
