Exposure gems + curse on hit rings really are great quality of life for this build. Freeing up the sockets for exposure could mean using a QoL totem for bossing. With the increase in totem hp, a decoy totem could be really good QOL to pop down before you set down your mines, but other options might be much better.

I wonder how many people are giving up pyromaniac to get explosive expert. I considered it at first, since I could live without the 10% regen, however being immune to two status ailments just seems too good to pass up.

People are never giving up pyromaniac for explosive expert.
They are giving up Demolitions Specialist for Explosive expert

That seems ill advised though. Even if explosive expert is good, demolition expert is doubling the affect of high-explosive mines double damage aura and the chill/shock from skitter bots.

Quick status update: I managed to kill Sirus (A5) with ease and no close calls whatsoever with the following gear:



However, I'm currently pondering as to which Ascendencies to choose. Born in the Shadows gives a lot of defense for mapping (especially with the additional damage reduction from Silent Steps), but I feel that trading it for Demolition Specialist really lowered my boss damage by quite a lot. I'm currently running:

- Pyromaniac
- Bomb Specialist
- Born in the Shadows
- Explosives Expert

I killed Sirus without Born in the Shadows and with Demolition Specialist.

Any insights on what you're running and why?

Guys can u use Zealotry and Skitterbots without enlighten? When i do so, i have only 130 mana left... so i can put ~8 traps :/

Unfortunately, you're gonna have to sacrifice one aura until you get Enlighten....

I used enlighten lvl 2 for a few days, but using both auras and placing 23 mines reserved my whole mana. Lvl 3 enlighten is mandatory if you want to use both auras and still have enough mana for mines and flame dash.

u can use inspiration support on the staff

QUESTION --- There seems to be a lot of variance in the Tremor Rod gem setup. I just bought Awakened added lightning, however some people use lightning Pen or elemental focus. I feel like lightning pen would be best vs bosses/Sirus. A lot use trap and mine support too (I currently use inspiration). Any thoughts?

Also, Do i need to Wave of conviction to get the elemental equilibrium proc with my armageddon brand? Thanks!

Edit: I have quite a bit of spare currency at the moment, Wonder what i should focus on upgrading at the moment.

Replace Ele focus with High-Impact mines gem.

demolitions expert only buffs skitterbots and high imact?

explosives expert over demo specialist is a huge dps loss.

anyone know how to get inner conviction to show up in POB ?

still need to get an awakened ele focus, better gloves, bottled faith, watcher's eye. Any recommendations on what to go after first ?



also speaking of Thunderstruck

Are people having success with it ? Maybe it was in my mind, but I felt like I didnt do nearly as much damage with it for some reason. Very confusing to me.
