[3.10] The highest DPS miner - 1.5 shapers per second

So my league starter it is... let‘s see how far I can push this character with the new notables... How is it defensively (or was in 3.9)? WIth the recent addition of clustered jewels, I think you can make it even quite tanky while still having high damage - or am I missing something? Was looking for my first level 100 character and this might be it! ;-) Really excited, see you guys on Friday.

With no nerf and changes to the tree with new notables. I think this will be even stronger.

I don't think we need to even go to the Witch tree let alone the Templar. The new notables can keep us in the top and middle part of the assassin tree and we can use all those passives to ramp up DPS and HP

Any aura setup for the later acts? Did a run right now and it was a breeze till act 9, and in act 10 it was taking me ~3 seconds to kill rares (previously they were dying instantly).

pob update for sofcore or only HC?

I will try it in 3.10 as well, in HC, so i can give u feedback how it goes on HC leagues.

Didn't see anything in patch notes that could harm this build. And cluster jewels are a big buff I think.

Well I can't believe it, but we didn't receive any nerfs other than.05s rescued mine throwing speed, which makes saboteur even better as an ascendancy. Looks like this will be an amazing build for 3.10.

its not 0.05 it is 0.5 (about 20% of dmg)
cast time is not mine throwing speed, what are u talking about? it's a big nerf.

Actually -

"Base mine throwing time has been raised to 0.3 seconds (from 0.25)."

So it is 0.05 increase in cast time which is about a 17% Nerf which is easily made up from the new cluster jewel notables.

And this build already does a f**k load of damage so not sure how you would notice it.

Definitely a good build to do this league :)

sorry wrong topic

Well no one is mensioning this:
Now fires an additional projectile for every 4 prior mines in detonation sequence (previously fired an additional projectile per 2 mine detonations).

Seems like a big nerf to me, what would you guys say?

This is a ball lightning build not pyroclast mines.
