[PoE 3.19] Eye of Winter Inquisitor Miner - A Well Rounded BEAST

[@pathofmatth]

I went ahead and changed up some small things in the PoB to make up for the 40% MoM (which allows us to go MoM + EB for Perma RF & no Mana required earlier). Another thing is that I swapped out of Swift Assembly into Pierce Support for the leveling portion of the game, probably until you get +3 Pierce on the tree you would then swap back to Swift Assembly for a proper damage support. Here are the final PoBs: (Check Notes) Budget: pastebin.com/vgbdk6vZ Mid Budget: pastebin.com/Ru8VWzRt Final Filter for Lvling (Swap at lvl 60): Make sure to UPDATE it on the League Start day: www.filterblade.xyz/Profile?name=PathofMatth&platform=pc

[@VacaAlpha]

The mid budget version, bossing setup, has like 15% spell suppression instead of the typical 100%, is there something wrong there?

[@xShinitai]

@@VacaAlpha The bossing setup has full dmg and 0 defences, thats the whole point of a budget bosser

[@devonm8043]

hey Mathh, when finishing library don't you want to get high impact instead of blast chain?

[@dennism.5145]

This is just incredible!!! Beyond anything a player could wish for in a guide... from leveling tips, regex to custom loot filters... One of the best and most thorough content creators for sure. And just like that I have my league starter. Thanks a lot Matth, greatly appreciated.

Hey, that's great news buddy! I'll be sure to target farm / craft the gear showcased in the PoB and sell it to players like you at a premium. Then, I'll wait a couple of weeks until your character has 500 /deaths and you exasperatedly decide to re-roll. Finally, I'll buy back all your gear for a fraction of the price you originally paid for it, then individually destroy each and every item in my hideout for the fun of it. We'll be in touch!

If people make builds guides for POE... this is exactly how they need to be. detailed with 'WHY' for this and 'WHY' for that.

[@oxygene9082]

I got the feeling that you always have to proof that your builds infact DO work as a starter, as a bosser, as a mapper, as it may survive a white map... while other content creators just copy old build from others and get away with it. Thanks that you are taking your time to contribute. I may not start this as I prefer to be more tanky, but your contribution and the really detaillied guide is very much appreciated.

It's because the builds he plays are incredibly rippy (his guides are different from what he actually plays)

Bro don't start this shit it's a bait. He is not genuine and makes shitty build to bait newer players. Just watch zizaran please man

I played your trappe builds 2 leagues in a row and I loved them, I was really confused on what to play this league but thanks to you I have my strater now! Much love keep up the good work man!

[@TarisRedwing]

I used this build a while ago from your original vid and man I was surprised at how fast it was and did a good job getting me to maps to get into my proper build at the time.

[@weaknessipray4706]

I finished whole content Sentinel League had to offer with a similar build, Crit/Crit Multi Spark Miner Inquisitor. You can do every normal and some Uber content with no problem what so ever. And when you finally transition to Anihilating Light every bit of content turns to crispy dust. Your build is a great addition to the Mine Inquisitor family, really great build video. I can recommend this one to anyone when you try it, you won't stop Loving it.

Man you are spot on with this vid, wamted to test out how it performs and plays myself today. Think apso of playing absolution inquis as the combo of MoM + EB is soo strong.

[@Disartas]

tnx for your guides. You are best poe streamer. Your builds are very good)

[@huldu]

I love the detailed PoB instructions! Thank you so much for explaining what and when to get stuff. I've tried so many builds with barely any information at all or help and it's rough in this game. It's fun playing a build only to realize it's severely outdated lol.

[@pathofmatth]

PoE is a game where just a couple things can be the difference between have a good time and a VERY bad time. When I make builds nowadays I want to make sure people are lead in the direction which is most likely to lead to success. Now of course, some people will decide to simply take the PoB, not actually listen to my advice and explanation and then fail miserably, but at the end of the day, that's on them!

[@andrewleone4459]

For those asking about Pantheons, if you go the RF route and you are having trouble keeping your health and mana up go Soul of Arakaali for reduced damage over time. If you have your Fire resist maxed with EB and MoM with Soul of Arakaali you should be good to go.

[@DarkSRKI24]

Thank you Matth for the build guide it's incredible, looking forward to starting this build and hopefully getting some big time upgrades like The Devouring Diadem you mentioned

[@PicklePickles]

Update on following the build: There is a learning curve for people who are new into mining such as myself. 1. Pressing (or holding) to detonate is a hassle at first. What you can do is , use your thumb to hold D all the time, nonstop or change the key to a button on your mouse and hold that button on the mouse with your thumb. (Thumbs are best as you use all other fingers). 2. You definitely need the unique jewel to pierce targets or mapping (clearing) is very hard as you need more mines and the longer you hold that detonate button 💁. 3. Is there any option to leave a button pressed by default such as is_pressed = true. Would make it so much better xD Thanks for the build. The build is great. The above are stuff that I personally faced.

[@GhostHyperhex]

I love this guide format. Very clear and I love the effort made for this guide

[@reg_ular_guy]

The Blazing Salvo miner build you did a while back was very successful for me personally, so I'll definitely be trying this miner as well. Thanks for all you do!

Amazing content and explanation. I absolutely look forward to running this as my league starter. Thank you so much for the content! Also, it felt so poetic watching you refute that goofy reddit dude about the build. So gratifying living vicariously through you watching you break it down to that degree proving them wrong.

[@TelvanniPoE]

And once again GGG has found a way to force 99% of league start builds to path all the way around the tree to the exact same location as phase acrobatics was. Now a days we are grabbing Inveterate instead.

[@pathofmatth]

that's absolutely fucking right my guy! I mean suppress is just too good to pass on as a league starter, with proper investment in this build I'll just drop all suppress and go glass cannon but reddit would crucify me if I did this in a starter :)

[@erchicheck244]

@Path of Matth I should point out, that when damaging your mana with mind over matter, your energy shield takes damage, and stops regening as normal. You just don't notice it with all yout Inquisitor ES regen constantly applied.

[@pathofmatth]

ye like I mentioned in another comment, essentially you are always regening and when you aren't you're probably recharging so it's pretty much always full unless you really take a ton of sustained damage

[@erchicheck244]

I am curious though, did you ever consider ball lightning, or is the area, and the speed of the balls just too bad for any sort of end game clearing? Considering, if you take the budget mapper, change the active skill to ball+slower projectiles, charged mines, trap/mine, minefield (I like it, so *shrug*) with high impact, and change 3 points from piercing shots, to Arcane expance, you get with the same 4 copies of the ball vs what you had with eye, and 15 active mines, about 6,4 M, compared to the 4,2 M of the eye (assuming all bolts of the ball hit). I do agree, that the area is clearly smaller, and you do not enjoy the safety of frozen enemies. I am pretty new to PoE, maybe 650 hours of mostly SSF, so I am lucky if my build does 1 M, so there are many things I don't know. Just a thought, as I have been rocking the Ball, and it felt better than the Eye with my extremely budget SSF gear. The PoB also showed me how important % life on jewls is to get more effective hp :P Thanks for a well articulated guide, it made me pay attention to stuff, I had not figured out before!

[@Seremela3]

Brilliant stuff Matth. You reignited my passion for PoE, and I've learned so much from your videos, guides, and streams. I've watched streamers and content creators. They just aren't on your level, like not even close. Thank you for making digestible content for your audience! 🥰

Amazing life usual, Thanks Math !!

[@sproins]

I went with this build for 3.20 and I love it. I am a casual so I'm only level 90 and have maybe 1.5 div worth of trash gear and am absolutely destroying t16s. If anyone else is considering this a couple things to consider (again from a casual experience): leveling is a bit rough without poacher's aim jewel + pious path nerf (at least for me and my shit luck finding good gear). Huge increases in DPS come from minor upgrades (20/20 gems, +mine damage on jewels, etc.) Get your last ascendancy ASAP it almost doubled my DPS just as I was getting to maps. Also you have to be careful of rippy mods and dot debuffs, as stated it's not the tankiest build but it IS fine for most content up to red maps at least. Not much else to say, excited to work my way up to the 10m dps bossing version and beyond this league. Thanks for all the resources Matthew, hope to see you back in the game some day. Edit: 20 div in. Build fuckin slaps. That is all.

[@Prometheus1172]

I was heavily considering this build for league start and after seeing the early mapping I will probably go with tried and true inquis rf, get through atlas, then respec into this for some bossing. Build looks smooth but its been a long time since ive done a miner.

[@zomgree]

Consider looking into Cold Reap Inquis if you planning to respec anyway. Not a miner, huge damage, less clunky to map, high damage, can do uber bosses if you care.

Another absolute clinic on how to present a build and guide! Thanks for all the details and effort! To be clear Mapping = map AND map boss / Bossing = Pinnacle bosses - correct?

[@pathofmatth]

[@SubarPL]

What about Pain Attunement and going low life with Petrified Blood? Is it viable to sustain that much damage while still going with RF? We're talking about much higher budget, which I guess you will cover in your future videos. If you fit ashes of the stars into the build, use life reservation efficiency mastery (20% in 3.19), and link enlighten 4 to vitality and petrified blood it should fit. Not sure if it will work, but definately something to consider :)

[@pathofmatth]

The life rmr mastery nerf makes that a tough change tbh

[@TraxisOnTheLines]

Something I think is really underappreciated is your explanation of early gear. Most people show the end game gg build, and one slightly more budget end game version. Seeing a low gear 4L fresh map run is really nice for seeing how it should feel before you've gotten any items.

Yo, just tried leveling with this til act 4 and encountered a few issues, maybe there's something i forgot: 1.the very start with stormblast mines felt horrible, getting through the first few zones was paired with dying a lot die to lack in damage/having to stand still to throw traps After getting the sceptre upgrade at 12, it felt alright, still little clunky but enough damage to not get stuck in packs of mobs, stayed like this til eow swap 2. After swapping to eow in a 3 link without charged traps support, the damage went downhill again, at this point i dont know if thats just how it goes or if i forgot anything but i was running the lvl 20 vendor recipe sceptres and herald of ice/thunder

While you mentioned Chain in your mapping section, you left it out of your gem setup section. It would be nice to have a little clarity on what your replace to utilize Chain, and when and why you wouldn't use it. Myself I do believe I would only consider using Trap and Mine Damage & Hypothermia while mapping, so in order to gem swap on a pre linked and colored chest for mapping I would have to replace potentially Hypothermia. Thoughts on this? As it's obvious you wouldn't re-make the video to reorganize the Chain thought process during the link setup.

[@pathofmatth]

Chain requires snakebite so I didn't include it in the guide, pierce is more than fine
