Just wanted to say that I ran this build all league and for the first time farmed a Mageblood, headhunter, Squire, whatever uniques I wanted, and reached a point where all my next upgrades were aspirational while farming t16 delirious elder guardians. Absolutely blast of a time, so thanks for putting this out there.

Something to keep in mind is Sandstorm Visage will propably costa 5x more than Last league. When GGG made Catarina Helm rarer it skyrocket from 2 div to 12 div. Nevertless is a great build.

[@calvinc7196]

FYI you mentioned Polymath being good sustain but if I’m not wrong, miners don’t benefit from the “on kill” effect. Unfortunately the only way I’m aware of to gaining any sort of leech with miner is via Machina Mitts and Ghost Reaver if you’re a CI build. I think we can benefit from mods to leech recovery or maximum leech but for actual leech value, MM is the only source for miners. No on kill effects, no on hit, no attack/spell leech.

[@PathofEvening]

You're probably right

[@nomikid5911]

Thanks for the build guide. Do you think this build will be able to do t17s?

[@PathofEvening]

T17's have been nerfed heavily, so they should be much less difficult than they were in 3.24. So yes. It will take some gear, some +levels to skill gems, but yeah.

[@bmore21237]

First league, like the build, may be dumb question but, if the helmet says cannot deal critical strikes with attacks, then why are so many nodes taken in the tree for spell critical strike?

[@PathofEvening]

Spells are not attacks!

[@Radjaroy]

This build is rockin! Never thought i would like hexblast been a blast now into mapping. Thank you for the guide. Just one question which gem links are you using in end game, i saw lots of sockets empty, maybe not needed? Hexblast + Charged Mines + Minefield + Void Manipulation + High-Impact Mine + Increased Critical Strikes Wither + Spell Totem + Multiple Totems Automation + Detonate Mines + Immortal Call Grace Elemental Weakness Flammability Enduring Cry Flame Dash Summon Skitterbots

[@PathofEvening]

There's a lot of freedom on sockets in this build. You can link in more QoL stuff if you want, like Shield Charge with faster attacks (or Culling Strike), Inc Duration on Immortal Call, and so on, but nothing is set in stone.

@@senX only mechanics I would steer clear of are legion and breach, it’s clear is not top tier but it’s good enough for pretty much everything else. Can probably farm those once you’ve got better gear but early league it’s not worth it. I would also say expedition can be a bit rough if you want to go fast, because there’s a remnant mod that makes enemies hexproof which totally bricks your clear and it’s easy to miss because it’s not highlighted yellow, so you’ll have to double check all your remnants before you blow, which can get really tedious.

@@albertakitesurfer Thanks mate

[@DamienBaka]

I've been hesitating between Trickster and Occultist. From the PoBs I made, Trickster is stronger early and with endgame/mirror gear, but Occultist is stronger in the middle. You can get 20m damage with just a profane and a restless at level 80, it's crazy. Since my plan is to farm Sanctum/Invitations, I don't need the tankiness (around 20k eHP is enough) so I'm gonna go Occultist and just suck it up until red maps. xD

[@c-tothefourth4879]

Starting occultist isn't a good idea. Or if you do you don't go Hexblast.

[@DamienBaka]

@@c-tothefourth4879 Well of course, you start Stormblast mine, then Pyroclast mine, and once you have Dreadarc go Hexblast, in Act 5/6/7/8/9/10 whenever you want. I already leveled an Occultist to maps no problem with switching to Hexblast in Act 4. It's just a little bit less comfy than with a Trickster.

[@PathofEvening]

Agreed that Occultist is not a great league start ascendancy. It does well with gear, but has no native defensive value at all. It's more of a second build.

[@DamienBaka]

I played both in SSF and they're both ok. Occultist is a bit slower at first because a lot of points go into attributes which is useless, but later on when you can respec to a more efficient tree, it beats Trickster in terms of damage, which is all I need to farm what I want to farm. Start Stormblast mines into Pyroclast mines then Hexblast. With a curse on hit ring, a 6L Restless and a Profane Proxy you can reach 20m DPS at lvl 80 with 20k eHP which I couldn't do with a Trickster. In my PoB Trickster has less than half the damage with the same gear.

[@TheArchitectGamer]

What do you think about Mixed Munitions for the build?

[@PathofEvening]

Cool concept, still have not figured out how use it at all.

[@ghostshadow3637]

question why the curse flammability not frostbite

[@PathofEvening]

Either, like was said in the video. Make sure you have correct exposure on gloves.

[@albertakitesurfer]

I'm probably starting Jungroan's Power Siphon Locus Mines Trickster, but I'd like to switch into this after red maps. I don't see a config in your PoB, do you have an estimate on the dmg with the late game 2 cluster setup? Thanks for the great guides as always.

[@PathofEvening]

Jungroan is so goated. Saw the change to Power Siphon and thought "There HAS to be a miner build that could make this insane," and an hour later he puts up that new guide. The endgame angle you will want to go with this build is +levels to Hexblast (and Sandstorm Visage, obviously), so with 1-3 levels from amulet, 2 from wand, and 1 from shield, and potentially even more from a corrupted body armour, you can reasonably expect to be around 8-12M dps without god-tier investment.

[@iluhjumuju3305]

I would nor recommend doing that. It is perfectly fine to Leaguestart Hexblast like in this guide if you plan on playing it later anyways. The locus mine build is for going wander later or if you don't mind the locus mine playstyle.

[@albertakitesurfer]

@@PathofEvening Hah ya, I did a test run and it was pretty smooth actually. Locus mines def took getting used to but now I'm close to 2M dps at lv 75 and I don't mind the playstyle. The endurance charges every x seconds on body armor eldrich implicit is nice too. I found you can use both that and enduring cry as Endurance charges fall off as you get hit. Pumped to try a high end version of this once I have some $$$.

[@SyntheticaYT]

Why start one and swap to the other? Just stick to Locus Mines.

[@godCobain]

first off, thanks for the video. next, i have a question. so wherever i throw the mines is where the hexblast will go? i dont have to manually target the mine for hexblast to go off?

[@PathofEvening]

Mines will auto-target enemies with Hexblast, so you don't have to aim anything. The mines will need to be close enough to trigger, but the range is pretty far. It's pretty easy, skill-wise.

[@Hyrenfreak54321]

is there a reason for using things like curse on hit for flammability and elemental weakness even though its doing chaos dmg?

[@PathofEvening]

Hexblast bases its damage on the enemy's lowest resistance, rather than their Chaos resistance. It can Shock, Ignite, and Freeze. It deals AoE damage if the enemy is cursed, which is why it's able to clear very well. Flammability and Ele Weakness stack to lower their resistance further than either could on their own. Curses applied by our Skitterbots take 250ms (.25s) to reapply after being cleared by Hexblast, which is why we need a second source of curse on hit. Having to wait .25s between each hit is a massive loss in ST damage, whereas the curse on hit from a ring is applied AFTER the Hexblast hit has removed the initial curse, meaning we never lose curse uptime while blasting enemies.

It can but you cannot compare it to something like last league bow builds as nothing comes close to those in terms of pure mapping. However this is still a good skill overall and doesnt struggle while mapping as you get big explosions that can clear large groups of mobs its just not gonna blow up the entire screen and then offscreen. I played the saboteur version and it is quite fast with sheild charge and I prefer that over trickster and having to manage with a mana flask but that was a while ago and there might have been changes. It is pretty squishy though comparing to other builds and you will die randomly at times if you arent used to dodging. But short answer yes its a good mapper.

Trickster's pretty smooth in maps. It's a miner, so it's not going to be comparable to a bow build, but it is decent.

Maybe its a dumb question but why do we use a curse on hit ring if we already have profane proxy applying a curse?

[@Ekkaia153]

@@neferpitou5766 Afaik curses get removed when they are hit by hexblast, so curse on hit ensures that things that survive the first hit are immediately recursed.

[@neferpitou5766]

@@Ekkaia153 yea it says in the wiki that profane proxy reapplies the curse only within 250ms so there is a slight delay

[@PathofEvening]

That's right. You need both or there's a weird quarter-second delay that massively reduces your ST damage potential.

[@PathofEvening]

Sabo is good, but it's not as consistently tanky. Ghost Dance is exceptional for sustained defense, and it will only be better next league with new armour bases. It doesn't show up in PoB, whereas Master of Shadows for Sabo does.

How is he generating endurance charges?

[@PathofEvening]

Enduring Cry is one way. Searing Exarch Body Armour implicit that generates Enduring Charges every 15 seconds also works.

[@Back2Game01]

are there gonna be updates on this build throughout the league?

[@PathofEvening]

Probably not since it's not going to be Llarold's league starter, but we'll see

Seems tankier then tr pathfinder, which is nice but it also seems alot slower. A good potential alternative.
