Played the build for almost 3 weeks and it really felt diffrent from 3.8 and if you want to do a lot of damage - you need to invest a lot which is sad! we lost a lot of damage after the non-chaos nerfs.





3.9 Changes
Spoiler

"

Icicle Mine was providing enormous area coverage and damage at very little cost, and was also causing performance problems. These changes are intended to bring Icicle Mine in line with other mines, as well as alleviate the performance issues it was causing.
The projectiles now fade over time, similar to Freezing Pulse, but without the gradual damage drop-off. In other words, the mines will have a shorter range by default, but can be increased by increasing the skill's Projectile Speed.
Now has 4 additional projectiles at all levels (from 6 at gem level 20).
Now gains 1% increased Projectile Speed per 1% gem quality (from 1% increased Projectile Damage per 1% gem quality).


we lose a bit of range but still do the same damage... which is nice.

Introduction:
Hi my name is Ryvenn and this is my second build guide for Path of Exile… so for 3.8 BLIGHT we got new changes and skills for mines where you can throw them like traps but twice as fast and i already cleared all content this game has to offer!

This is an Icicle Mines build with my own spin on things. The build is incredibly tanky, decent life pool with MoM, and has great damage and clear speed.

skitterbots will be fast enough to not need to press detonate mine?

oh the skitterbots are there just to provide shock and chill - it doesnt actually help in the detonating part since they're kinda slow.

I have two questions.

Q1 Should I not use Gloomfang or Snakepit?

Q2. If you prepare another mine (ice nova etc) and use inspiration support, the effect will be beneficial to icicle mine. Is Vaal Righteous Fire good?

Hi Thanks for checking the guide!

A1 Yes you can use one of em or both to have +2 chains though i wouldnt recommend it if you're planning on bossing a lot. +4/+3 Pierce ( 2 from passives + 2/1 from gloves/helmet ) is enough for mapping since we one shot everything anyways.

A2 We won't get the Inspiration Charge's benefits since it only affects the Supported Skill so i suggest not doing that. Vaal Righteous Fire provides 28% MORE Spell damage at lvl 20 so yes it is good for bossing and other stuff.

hope this helps !

I started with my own icicle mine build and then saw this one and switched over some things. Uber Elder was super smooth. One thing I will let you know is that under your offensive gem section, you have cold pen coloured blue instead of green.
