Been using it and it seems pretty good for dps and clearspeed lol.


Haven't gotten a chance to try it because I don't think it's necessary. Dying sun increases. Ball lightning coverage but does not improve single target DPS. Only 1 ball can do damage per mine.


I'm not sure what you mean by that? Does the additional ball lightning helm enchant also do nothing for single target?

Where do we see that only 1 ball from each mine can deal damage?

However, since a target cannot be hit more than once within 150 ms, it cannot be used to "shotgun" the target by hitting them with multiple projectiles at once, leading to a possible DPS loss.


Extra projectile enchant is nice for clearing but will not help our single target. The best way is to detonate longer chains and place mines near target.

Is it possible for you to do a little video or a nice write up on how to properly detonate these mines? The last time I played a miner was before betrayal where you just spam detonate the entire time or use a detonate totem

Hi, I'm going to try a miner for the first time and I was wondering what spells we lvl with? I have the pob for the lvling tree.
Start with Arc and switch to ball lightning when we get it?

The concept is the same, even though Windz's video is on Pyroclast mines.

Basically you throw up to your max number of mines, hit detonate once, wait about 2 sec, then keep throwing. It's still inconsistent for me with BL, but with Pyroclast it works perfectly.

Can run both. BL for Single Target, then arc for clear with a 5L Tremor and a Tabula, then when you get a Kaom's can ditch arc entirely.

Exactly, you can also go icicle mine/pyroclast, that damage will be better for leveling

I can sequence them perfectly with pyroclast like others here, but I can't get them to chain at all with ball lighting. How much damage am I losing by keeping that staff around? It honestly feels bugged if you do the same thing with one skill and it works flawlessly and the same thing with another and it doesn't work at all.

Is it an option to shit-can the staff and run a 6-link belly or something and switch to a dagger and shield?

Silver sepia and amber. You can find it from metamorph encounters or cassia, also blighted maps drop a good amount of oils. Easiest way is to trade other people for them.

Sure you can modify to whatever you would like. I just prefer the rearming of the mines because it's cuts down on the number of mines I have to throw during boss fights. I can keep up 23 mines pretty consistently.
