I'm wondering how Deadeye would feel for Icicle, you get the projectile speed, a free projectile and a small pierce, link it with chain and should feel quite good. On the other hand you would loose quite some survive and placement/detonation speed together with generic mine damage.
What do you think about that?

Not a huge fan, there is one super powerful node, one good node and two pretty bad nodes in Deadeye - along with the travel nodes being awful.

While it will probably lead to better map clear, it will be worse in every other way.

With enough gear, it may not matter, but will be pretty bad as a league starter.

New support gems will hopefully fill in the holes we are losing with patch

sound great. cant wait to start with this build on friday.

Aye it’s hard to say if we are actually losing any power until we see those gems, my guess is that it will still work just fine.

I was messing around a bit in PoB to see if I could find a good 4-link setup for Pyroclast. My thinking was to use chain (pierce/fork/etc.) for Icicle clearing and then Pyro for single target. However, it seems that pyroclast damage is worse than icicle in PoB... but everyone says it’s OP. Is PoB missing something in the Pyro Damage calc? (like overlapping explosions or secondary damage)

Could you write some guide about how to switch from life -> CI/LL while after leveling?

It would be more viable to switch from life -> CI then switch to LL whenever I'm able to get both Shavronne's Wrappings and Presence of Chayula?

Which uniques would you recommend early on(that u didnt mention on this guide)?

Thanks for the awesome guide, it will be my first time playing a miner!

skill gemms are now posted .. any updates here about that?

Thanks a lot for this guide, Exile! Can it be worth it to tweak the tree in order to path to Zealot's Oath in the CI version? I feel like it would provide a nice protection (with pyromaniac regeneration + a CWDT detonate mines) but I never played CI, and I'm not sure how useful it would be.

Thanks for build. I will go with this build for early push and boss char.

Gonna level with arc mine + orb of storm depends how it will fell i will change to icicle after malachai when i will be able to get chain support.

New awaken gems looks good for us. One is interesting and i think its worth to put it in final setup. Awaken curse on hit let u apply additional curse for free. Ice bomb - Awaken Coh - frostbite + awaken spell cascade for boss dps boost.

Yeah PoB is wrong for all mine calcs atm. Pyroclasts damage is just silly and I really can’t believe it wasn’t touched. As far as the best setup, it’s just -take all more damage supports- so trap and mine, combustion, fire pen, conc effect and a throwing skill like swift assembly.

In my experience there isn’t any room to use a four link for it - the best way to do it is to keep the gem setups as they are where pretty useless stuff is in your weapon slot and shield and weapon swap to a 5-6 link staff. Even a white staff will be able to kil Uber elder on a 5 link in like 2 minutes or less.
