[3.13] Saboteur Pyroclast Mine Crit - Cheap, SSF friendly

Is there a reason to go for immolate/combustion support instead of elemental focus/concentrated effect? Or is the burning damage that high even without heavy investment in the passive tree (ignite/burning damage up)?

See many folks with the 2nd setup at least on poe.builds so not sure what would go better without building the whole thing in PoB.

There's no point to go for that 2nd setup. You lose damages and AoE for nothing in return.

So yeah, i guess that's a good enough reason ^^. Maybe the people using these gems don't have a crit build, or they don't use PoB.

NB: just want to thank you for reminding me Combustion had a minus fire res. I updated the 3.9 note again accordingly. The up of fire res of bosses is just a no care for this build, we penetrate enough already.

Thank you very much for the guide. This season I wanted to try something different and the truth is that it goes very well, clean everything ultra fast.

Everything is updated for PoB 3.9, right?
I've seen people use gems like Ark or Icicle with a very similar build, is it recommended?





Thanks!!

Yes, nothing changed for 3.9 in the build. PoB will warn you about the tree but you just need to convert it to 3.9.

Arc or Icicle mines are probably better for clearing. You can try them and see how it goes. But Pyroclast is the boss killer mine for sure. So it'll all depend on either you want to use a Kaom's heart and you'll have to use pyroclast for bosses & clearing, or you get two 6l and you can use both a mine for bosses and one for clearing.

Thank you for this build. I am using it as a road map with a few tweaks of my own. and so far it going pretty good. Turning the Arc spell into mines is awesome and later tonight when I get home from work I am going to create a 4 link with Infernal Legion and Skitterbots.

Once I get to level 28 I will switch over to the pyroclast mine

Thank you bro! Great jobe! I use it. And it is very cool! And effective to.

Your build has elemental res in negative LOL

Hint: Check the equipped items.

Im having great fun with this build.

I adapted some things and i can say that im happy with it. This is what my char will look like at the end of the league with lvl 96. The items are all real and on my char, only the levels are missing, im 84, started yesterday. Stats on Jewelery are very "special", but its working and both damage and survivability is great. Only Legion Shrines are meh cause of the low AoE Radius, but everything else is freewin.

Maining the build this league, so far wrecks everything. I'm not quite sold on using Immolate though, seems like Fire Penetration outshines it on hit damage with only a minor loss to ignite dps.

Alternatively, there seems to be potential to put in Hypothermia instead, and rely on Skitterbots to chill bosses. Most things die too fast to notice, but are skitterbots reliable for that?

Also couple gearing questions: is Tremor Rod better than Martyr? The damage increase doesn't seem worth losing double detonation. And what would you say is the best Watcher's Eye Zealotry mod? I'm partial to either increased crit or resist penetration, but the latter is kind of not a budget option.
