Blastchain mine helmet will probably be harder to obtain in 3.9. How much weaker is the build without 5L arc?


there's a lot of other good mods to help out your dps on shaper helms

Prefixes: Adds # to # cold damage to spells
Adds # to # lightning damage to spells

Suffixes: Socketed spells have +#% to critical strike chance
Suported by Blastchain or hypothermia

Also you can go for the "nearby enemies have -9% to lightning resistance" mod from fossil crafts which is probably best now.
Hi! Very nice build but I was wondering why not use ball lightning for single target? Makes it easier to keep using only one element for aura etc... Is BL's damage too low compared to pyro?

Followed your build last league. Been looking at lightning ball miners - would that be a viable alternative to arc for the clear ability with this build?


Yes, you can throw a lot of spells on mines and it will work out great. Some other alternatives that are strong right now >

- Arc
- Fireball
- Ball Lightning
- Icicle
- Glacial Cascade
- Purifying Flame
- Toxic Rain

Trees in the leveling segment should be updated and the gearing as well. Let me know if anything else needs to be fixed


The 3.9 pob link has right tree, but skills may be wrong. ( it still has wrath and i cannot see the single-target 6link)

Gem Leveling Progression still has minefield for level 12-16

In gem setup the auras are clarity and wrath. You might want to update those.

In the ascendancy order + pantheon. The Demolitions Specialist is still there, but in the 3.8 update you say we no longer take it.

Suggestion: add awakened support gems to the build. ( Maybe the priority in which we should get them).

I know it's not easy to do this guide and I would like to thank you very much for this guide.

The guide is not hard for me to follow, even with some parts being out-of-date, but the new players are for sure gonna struggle with it.

Hi! Plan to use ur guide in 3.9 because its well written!

How would you compare fireball mines vs arc mines? And how would I swap to fireball if I wanted to try that?

Thanks a lot!


Yes fireball mines are extremely competitive with arc mines and they're a lot of fun.

Fireball - Charged mines - blastchain mine - gmp - combustion - inspiration

you can use gmp, fork, or chain for clear it's preference

Great, thank you. I've run arc mines a couple of times and fancy something slightly different!

You could also add an out of date tag to the parts of the guide that you haven't updated yet and maybe are not even worth updating ( such as all the act guides).
