You got more mirrors in PoE than i have in my house

He actually did it! Wasn't expecting this video so soon after the community post yesterday. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Appreciate you taking the time to break down level by level and showing the talent tree transitions down the line. Excited to mess around with this a bit before the league ends. That leveling vod is a gold mine for me never having leveled mines before, so appreciate you linking it! Keep up the great content!

I didn't know your channel existed til a few days ago so keep doing what you're doing cuz it seems to be working. Appreciate the concise video style and that you get to the point without filling your vids with fluff to make them longer. My gut tells me to league start mines but i'm so weak and noobish so will likely go frostwall brands or something

Great video. answered all my questions. keep up the good work man

"Slower Projectiles The Slower Projectiles Support Gem now grants a lower value of Less Projectile Speed than before; This is because this single support was massively multiplying the close range damage of certain skills, and all of them were being balanced around the value from this support. It also means we can be more generous with projectile speed granted by other sources. Molten Strike, Magma Orb and Ball Lightning have had their damage and some other properties improved, as their close range damage is now affected by lowered projectile speed. " So Ball Lightning gets a buff? Lul... how do you think will the slower projectiles rebalance effect the build?

Everyone making guides about this league star build. Looks like the tremor rod will cost a lot at the beginning of the league.

Nice explanation, mate! Good job!

The PoB Tree in the video is totally different from the one in your desription

great video man thanks

didnt see lol sorry for that , and thk ! finally will play something else than totem arc

Love your vids mathew, always informative, i’ll be league starting with this for harvest. Keep up the great content

Hello Path, I love your BL Miner i just tested it end of the Harvest League and finally was able to beat some Bosses. Quick Question tho since i do not know where do you get frenzys from?

everyone says that prices for miner are going to increase, the thing most people do not like playing miners so it's not going to really affect the price.

damn, last 3 leagues i started with pyroclast mines time to try this one

Am I missing something with the Malachai’s ring? From my understanding with Armageddon brand in it and wrath active your Armageddon brand will deal both fire and lightning damage, which would raise the targets fire and lightning res while lowering cold? Im probably just overlooking something but this seems weird to me, would likely run zealotry instead if this is the case and avoid all sources of added lightning to spells as it will ruin our EE

While practicing league start I get kicked for performing too many actions fairly often when i Frost bomb +flame dash. Anyone else run into this issue?

Just a thing : The node Reduced Mana Reservation (4%) has moved in the new tree. It's now a 2 points instead of a 1 point

You should insert a map run to see the difference between this and budget difference....

Love the build.. tested it in standard before 3.11 thank you. I can only get 9 traps out before running out of mana. Also where do you fit Vaal RF (POB says weapon) but this is already full with 6 gems?

Could you update the POB so the leveling process/tree is divided up into sections? (i.e. Click the button to the left of "reset" then select "early game" or whatever you want to call it so it only shows the nodes to take at the beginning, and do the same for later stages of the process) Most authors do this and it's very useful.

Great stuff but you could have made seperate tree's on pob for leveling and filled in the notes with leveling tips.

New sub here... Great stuff, man, thank you very much. A question about a comment that was made in your initial video about this build: @TorsteinTheFallen said, "aaaaaand its getting nerfed. You should have waited for patch notes to publish. Although i recon it will be still very strong." Yet he left no source link for this information. Any idea if he's right, or where he even got the idea from?

Thanks for the guide! Isn't 124% inc life from the tree a little low? Or do you counteract that by having a Kaom's for chest?

Hi Math, what would be the definitive 6L set up? On the PoB it shows Hypothermia as well. I guess there would be a boss and a map clear 6L but i think you only did mention the 5L setups. Thanks for the video it is very good!

How do you bind detonate mines to left click?

hello I recently discovered your channel and I would like to ask you a question, in this league I had a lot of luck with the cheater and with a pair of wathcer's eye making about 100-120 exalted profit. What do you think is the best way to invest these 100 exalted to do even more? Thanks so much.

sorry for bothering you again but could you tell me what gem you put in all your gear ? the poe thing confuse me a bit , only find the gem to put in the 2H weapon . could you tell me the setup your using when you do boss for exemple ? 6 link weapon , helmet , boot and glove ? and what about hypotermia ? much apreciate

What about cluster jewels?

So no nerv for mines or Ball lightning? Instead slightly buff of bl. Boss damage might be Hard, because of nerv from slower projektiles.

Hey matth, what do you think about the new arcanist brand in combination with ball lightning, i think, depending on its numbers, that it has great potential

subscribbed and trying it out

Thanks.

I was wondering about the value knockback might bring, to drag the enemy along with the orbs keeping them in aoe longer. PoB does not calculate this well of course, I did a little in-game testing it seemed promising but hard to know. Damage aside, bit of a defensive layer as well. Your thoughts on some knockback social distancing? Worth the opportunity cost of using Projectile Weakness, and maybe anointing Fending?

so im playing this build in harvest and the damage is really nice, but i have problems against bosses because i die too fast and easily. no idea why, i have capped resistances, 4,3k life and 40/46% Attack/Spell dodge plus a quartz flask. Im using the enlighten setup in my helmet, 6 link tremor, kaoms heart, the recommended rings, atziris step and some ok-ish rare gear. is it worth considering changing the kaoms heart for a decent vaal regalia with 130+ life and double ES in prefix? also, is there a guide around making this build a low-life ES in defence? I found one but its using other weapons and gear. i really need some advices in termns of survivability, since i want to push that build to the maximum this league..

Not sure of someone's has asked this or if you already answered this and I missed it, but hey: What weapon(s) should I use until I get my hands on a tremor rod (assuming I'll league start with this build)? Thanks

Hi Math, can you answer me a question? When I’m throwing out mines my mana drains drains out at some point and I can’t throw more mines. How can I overcome this cause I noticed that mana regen does nothing for this. I know it’s the mana multiplayer now that I have my 6th link but still, ty

Why do you pick Throatseeker for 3 point instead of Assasination for just 2? What would have a nice rod if we don't have access to the unique one? Thanks for the videos! Top quality!

I know this is a lot to ask, but could you put a "leveling tree" into the pob? Like how the tree should look like at level 25-50-75 and so on? I`m sure many of us would be thankfull for this!

What do you think about akane's version of ball lighting (scion agnostic)?

How are you throwing mines by just pressing the detonate mine button? I'm working on this build atm but I have Ball Lightning on my Right Click and detonate mines on one of my mouses side buttons. Never mind I figured it out. Didn't realise you could hold the detonate button while throwing... DUH!!

While not for a low-cost build, but do you recommend swapping Hypothermia for Awakened Added Lightning? Adds a huge of damage in PoB, but I don't know if it's worth it

Hey Math, I would appreciate your input. I am hesitating between your build, a TR or a Spellslinger VD. I want a build that is very scalable in the end game the more you put currency in it, but I want the build to scale as I want to play only one build next league and seek all my currency in it and become a God (reasonable amount 200 exalts max). I also hate dying, I want to reach level 100 without abusing Pure Breachstone. What build are you recommending between those 3?

How are you detonating your mines? Do you just press D? It feels so clunky to play. So many streamers make mine build guides but they never makes guides on how to actually play the build.

It seem like more and more people going to play mines as league start and it’s opportunity to make currency on miner items what items would u advice to craft ?

Matth, Shavs can't have the "+2 to Lightning gems" What we could look is +2 to level of AoE gems and +2 to level of projectile gems. The body armous have only 18 corruption possibilities and lightning level is not one of those... But that's completelly understandable, your guide was awesome, thinking about this build for next league ... Keep the content coming bro :D

why don't add conductivity at least in your cwdt config? I didn't see any curse in PoB

I tried using detonate on the LMB slot but the game kicks me out due to too many actions, how can I fix this issue? This doesn't happen to you as well?

Im considering starting 3.11 with your miner build or arc archmage build.. Hmm can you help me decide? Why we should choose miner instead of other fast farming, all content starter builds?

It has to be zealotry has wrath turns off your EE for Armageddon brand.

Any ideas for cluster jewels besides a meglo with some good defense notables?

Instead of making a fast moving, hard to follow video going over passive tree progression, why not just utilize PoB correctly and make several leveling trees that people can utilize more effectively? Also utilizing the notes section instead of making confusing socket groups to give instructions would be a big help.

Are there no Cluster Jewels viable for this build`? For example Supercharge for " Lightning Damage with Non-Critical Strikes is Lucky" ?

Do you think the changes to Slower Projectiles will affect the BL damage too much?

Is anyone able to explain why hypothermia makes sense? As I understand it only makes sense if enemy is chilled. But where does the chill come from? Ice golem??

What are your thoughts on SSF or low player count private leagues with this build or similar ones. Good idea or not? What to change? Better alternatives? League starter?

great guide! The only part I'm not getting is hypothermia, there's no cold damage on ball lightning, so what's the point of it?

Does that tree start set up works for pyroclast mine also?

Hi matth, When I run maps do I have to switch 3 gems when I have to fight the boss?

Does inspiration work with mines?

Good league starter? Ive never played a mine build before.

Should we use the mapping gem setup or bossing gem setup till we get white sockets in the tremor rod?

With your current tree you can only throw 9 mines before you run out of mana or 12 with the 4% reduced node. Is this intended?

Hey, can this build farm the max tier Hogm ? would lke to farm it next league. Should be possible. any experiences ?

I've never played Mines so that might be obvious but how hard is to transition of this build to a low life version?

What about min-maxing? Did i skip this part or?

My god, the guy has 9 mirrors now, what a chad

slow projectiles is shit for clear,,

Is it better to run the campaign with Arc or BL?

BL Nerf incoming....?

hey the guide you posted is not working mate

does this build do more dmg than double wand and essence wyrm with a free wrath aura?, i wanna say yes cuz ive seen other builds with similar gear but they have that staff and the dmg on poebuilder shows like 30k more; never saw tooltip diff tho - this is my setup; while im definitely going ur route this new league, im trying to figure out why the difference is so big. pastebin.com/dRX7BfHV; my tooltip with slower projectile is 15.6k; default with auras up;

I wanna play as a duo and have an aurobot, and eventually turn this miner into a magic finder that can also kill bosses, is it possible?

I've been playing Assassin toooo much, what if I want to try hierophant at start ? Is it possible ?

Bad news guys. this build just got the nerf stick

Rip 20 c

i have tried this build , got tremor rod , put around 1200 chromatic to hit 3 green 2 blue 1 red, then got mad and now trying other build. lol this shit is anoyning

My question is why are you streaming constantly abusing the most efficient skills/mechanics ?! Mines are broken, league start as something else come on..

u look really sick my man take care :((

what is this man . i was expecting u to show how to min max . not to advertise for the link u put dawn for a minmax thing bla bla .....

Man I clicked the thumbnail because it looked like some hot chick who played poe :(
