Thanks for this build. I've tried out a pyro build that was pretty good, but after trying out the convert to fire BL build, I felt like BL had a ton more actual damage potential.

A lot of the forum posts are filled with theoretical damage calculations, surprised yours doesn't have that, which I find no problem. Videos are the best indicator to actual damage that hits for sure.

After converting my build over, and spending less than 3EX, mostly on the weapon, here is my gear:

I'm sitting at 5k life, but mostly I just need to level up (and eventually buy lvl 21 gems). Overall my damage currently, assuming EE and wave exposure as well as helm nearby debuff is 47k per hit. Your end game 100 char has 68.7k per hit. I've seen another post that claimed with radius of BL vs most boss mobs, it should hit around 12-15 times on a stationary target, less if they jump out, and much more if they move in the direction of the BL.

With 23 mines that gives the 68.7k build about a 20.5 million damage per chain (assuming a conservative 13 time hit per BL...but all projectiles hitting).

My testing with the fancy 'throw more mines before chain has finished'... only extends the chain another 2-3 mines, but the extra 2 mines takes them up to an average hit of 71.2k each, giving 23.1M damage for a single chain.

Overall we can already see in your videos how awesome this damage is practically, and while some other builds approach or surpass 20M Shaper DPS (all above numbers are shaper PoB calculations)...they often can't apply them continually or even for that first burst needed on a boss.

The convert to fire BL build that is on the boards here can do as much or more DPS, before I converted though I had about 1.4k life haha, so clearing T10 maps at lvl 70 was easy, but you would get 1 shot if they happened to get a projectile through. Metamorphs are easier to deal with than regular bosses as you can setup your chain before they spawn, as opposed to needing to set it up while they are chasing you around.

So in the end, I feel this build has the dmg needed from BL, but actually balances that with some kind of survivability. Thanks again!

Hey, how bad is it to just spam detonate while throwing mines? I don't know how to chain this mine.

Got a Doctor card to drop on Xbox and sold it for some fat stacks. My gear besides unique's is pretty much SSF as on Xbox you can search for stuff, but you have to filter through 600 stash pages for helmets alone (unless you want a specific base type). I have all the base types to now try fossil crafting but that will also be annoying. I have killed t16 bosses and what not but I die randomly. Definitely need way more life. Looking forward to crafting some good gear to keep progressing :)

Wow, thanks for the feedback and really think you hit on some important points.

I purposely didnt put up any DPS numbers because they don't mean anything to me, I only care about how well the build plays, and I think you understand that from your post.

I also hate dying so I only make builds which are tanky but can deal out high DPS. Unless the game takes a dramatic turn I feel that this is the best approach to maximize fun in PoE at least for me personally. Thanks again for your feedback.

In terms of your gear, you can look forward to a lot more potential, you are at about 25 to 30% of maximum DPS, hope you enjoy and feel free to post again with any questions so everyone can benefit.
