What are you gonna start with tomorrow?

[@coys4646]

Never played a mine build, but i'm gonna be rocking this and then pivot into some form of int stacking trickster

[@Jin_Jon]

Wasn't there a nerf to the amount of chains exang can do? If so, do you think it's a negligible nerf?

[@SuperHreis]

going for cobra lash

[@Stevedawhoop]

either this or split steel

[@Casevil669]

this but I'm leaning toward Sabo, what's your take? Just started watching video sorry if you answer it there

Captain garbage sounds like a GIGACHAD

Just when I taught I was set on my league starter..... time to change every plan I had ! Thanks Tuna hahaha

[@MrTojans]

Yeah same lol. I was pretty set on Detonate Dead Elementalist since I never played DD before but this just looks really fun.

[@m0nZt3r]

Same.. this or Ziziran's explosive arrow champion. No idea :C

Same here, never played dd but this looks like so much more fun. ​@@MrTojans

Thank you so much for the build guide, and oh my god, thank you so much for maxroll guide! you have no idea how helpful it is! thank you so much!

[@LukeAlcala]

Crouching Garbage coming in clutch once again! TY both for the time and energy you put into this. I'll will be starting this build (after much turmoil about what I was going to start).

[@BolognaSkinBandit]

Always love starting trickster. Pumped to actually play a miner on console comfortably with the new mastery. Thanks for the guide!

[@KevinPlayingGames]

After watching this incredibly well-organized and thorough build guide, I'm sold on running this as a league start. I was waffling on playing this league at all, because so many of my favorite skills have been nerfed into oblivion, but I've always been a huge fan of Pyroclast mines, and the fact that I can play them for a while and then convert to this pushed me over the edge. Thanks to you and Cpt_Garbage for spending what must have been a huge amount of time putting it altogether.

[@CrouchingTuna]

Thank you and good luck!

[@G00R00]

@@CrouchingTuna will you do some kind of endgame update // T17 or uber pob for it ?

Following this for league start. Thanks for the video and guide!

Insane guide ! well done, cant wait to try it out

[@donmatias726]

Great vod my men, awesome vibes like always, thanks for the content!

Thanks bro

[@SynjynB]

Thanks Tuna. Love this and will give it a try. Looks fun!!!

[@Fandolorian]

This is only my second PoE league, but I'm super excited to try out this build! I tried out Corrupting Fever Champ last league and enjoyed it, and feel like this is right up my alley! Keep up the great content brother. Have a great league!

[@CrouchingTuna]

You too n good luck man!

[@maximuehnel3768]

I wasnt sure on what to start but now I am sold! Thanks!

[@KMGZbis974]

I don't have the word to say how grateful i am for your build. It's been two league straight now that you saving me from the struggle of starter league. Now the saving even happen before the league

[@CrouchingTuna]

Ayy I'm glad. Good luck today sir!

[@bmpm844]

looks a great build but i dont really like the traps playstyle. do u think ss champ is good as league start?@@CrouchingTuna

[@lonewulf5312]

Thank you, just locked this in as league starter. Appreciate all the hard work

[@johnferrell371]

This has been my “I want to play something new to me” planned league starter. Thank you for making this!

[@BobJrJon]

Definitely super interested in the end-game pob, will look forward to it!

[@Mrbigfish300]

looks awesome! Will try out this league starter! Thanks!

[@Insuo.]

this is what i've waiting for, thanks Tuna!!!!!!

[@JJNS8]

Thanks very much for the detailed guide, I haven’t played in a couple of leagues and this looks sick. I followed one of your guides in the past, forgot what skill it was but it ended up being bugged on league start and was useless, let’s hope it doesn’t happen again this time :P

[@moko6127]

thanks for u put so much effort in the build guide !!

[@wavvykoo]

been waiting on this guide. definitely league starting this on console

[@Bodom1after1midnight]

same

[@piazzaj88]

Thanks for the guide and all the info you give us :)

[@CrouchingTuna]

Thanks a lot!

[@Scheckler27]

Incredible guide thanks !

[@currypancake208]

Great video. I’m lacking few brain cells and I still cleared campaign in basically 1 day. Making a switch to blood mines today, still zooming at orbital velocity, one shooting screens and being one shot 1/5 off the time but it’s still the most league fun I ever had

[@jjop810]

Tried it in standard extremely fun will be running it this league thanks!!!

[@hunk1231RE]

Yup. i’m starting this. Have a good league start everyone!

[@CrouchingTuna]

You too king

[@kuzemka99p]

thanks dude! my favorite build by far!!

[@iosgamertool8741]

cant wait to play that class thank you very much, always played champion as a league star now its time for tricksterio i hope getting Resistance is easy on trickster

[@dumbledogg1019]

Time to play this a second time... DAMN YOU TUNA! i basically only play mines because of you... the first League starter of yours i followed was TR Miner from when legion came out (think it was legion)

[@fa1thl3ss88]

Man this is my favourite skill and starting hexblast but you are making me reconsider xD

[@CharlyUlik]

Nice video! My question is, how good is dealing with bosses like Maven/ Eater/Searing? i love the build but idk if can get voidstones...i was play Lightning Arrow last league, in terms of damage is similar better or worst?

[@quad6719]

Played it, loved it, league starter as of now for next league

[@ayrill]

hmmm now i'm unsure what to start.. :D planned to start hexblast miner.. but that build looks also fun xD how is the boss burst damage compared to hexblast? or is that build more focused on map zooming?

[@Marcoos1996]

Hey Tuna, do you think this build would be good at farming expedition in early-mid game maps?

[@alexanderjanak4239]

oh. that first legion pop got me sold on this build. goddamn. that was satysfying to watch. login

[@Marbleshade]

After playing Trickster last league I dont if I could ever go back to another ascendancy and this looks awfully enticing. Cool build!

[@Sile]

Love it, I'm playing this. It was between Poison SRS, Necro DD or BAMA - but they're going to be so popular and over represented that items are going to sky rocket. I think something like this will be relatively cheap to get into.

[@SuperLachesis]

tuna is the goat - i will play this for sure - 3.24 hype 3.24 hype

[@babaspector]

Looks so cool visually imo

[@HydrantRooster]

This is one of the smoothest builds I've played, and I've played since betrayal league. Switched to Exsanguinate at round level 60, and it came online instantly. Good recommendation for a league starter. :)

[@kawkawshi775]

I hope this can stop me from changing my league start plans AGAIN lol Looks sick

[@Dabrixmgp]

Last time I played mines was during Betrayal as my league starter and I went glacial cascade. Had a lot of fun so gonna play mines again

[@ianlomeli3520]

Really cool build. When I did a levelling run I had a bit of an issue after the exsanguinate swap in maps with single target damage. Killing map bosses was ok but many map rares were a bit much. Is this just how it goes early on before making upgrades to the pieces of rare gear?

[@HFTVChannel]

Hey Tuna , I always wanted to do exsanquinate. Im going to be league starting this. Will there be future progression videos beyond whats given atm? Theres definitely things to work towards , i just tend to spend an entire league on a single build most of the times due to time constraints so I want to be able to keep putting in the work for upgrades , or is this more of a "blast your ass off speed clearing great league starter , until you decide to convert to a different build as the league progresses"?

[@Fqke1992]

Hi Tuna, thx a lot ! What would be your first atlas strat for very early first chaos to be able to get the build running? :)

[@1Fresh_Water]

I never ran mines before, I think now is the time to try.

[@richardlivesley5952]

Sorry if answered already - the tree in the Maxroll guide slightly differs in progression (I think ends up the same) which is more "up to date" the POB or the maxroll guide ?

[@69MadnezZ]

Thanks for sharing this build. One question is how much budget do I need to kill Uber bosses with this build?

[@jarededwards7018]

i think this is more of a map blaster and not an uber bosser/high delirium farmer, you're probably looking at mageblood++ to do ubers

[@Dexxxterity]

That looks really cool

[@HvnkRockCity]

How's the single target tuna? Can i solo clear my atlas and get the stones easily?

[@uw10isplaya]

Seems like a great candidate for the multiple legion release scarab, since you can just stand in the middle and spam mines without worrying about the couple stragglers you miss. Not sure how rare/expensive they'll be, but something fun to try at least once or twice even if it's too unavailable to farm at a profit.

[@alewis514]

I played chaos dot selfcast version in Ancestor league and it was very strong, able to hit DOT cap with investment. 2x Ming's Heart are main scalars with 72% extra phys as chaos (144% total). It was melting through everything, even uber bosses were possible with it. That was pathfinder though as this was a poison build.

[@posaunenrori]

hey tuna thanks for the effort! Woudl Glacial Casscade be an option since it got already 100% of phys converted to cold?

[@daemonx99]

Glacial Cascade mines would be an entirely different build, i'd think. I really do not think you would be able to swap GC in place of exsanguinate in this build and have it work the same.

[@luc_xott]

Use the alt qual GC 😉 the frameworks of the builds are similar, just don’t need chain stuff

[@dingo4260]

Thanks Tuna! Would you say this is stronger than LA ? ❤ And would do in blight and sanctum ?

[@moti6151]

Hey Tuna, the skill setup for leveling between the maxroll guide and pob are different - Is it wanted like that? thanks for your feedback

[@ajaj1947]

I'm intresting whats your strategy for farming early currency to buy all mandatory gear for exang? I dont think +3exang amulet will be cheap. Thx for updating this build for necropolis league!

[@liouskiloo1395]

I like your build very much, thanks for the effort, just wanna know whether it's good for doing expedition?

[@MedveXD]

its very very good for expedition

[@user-ss6ww1hz1h]

OMG... This video just gave me an idea... Bodyswap Mines!!! I just swapped out a couple gems and tried it out for a few seconds and wow...that's wild!!! I'm not gonna league-start it, but I'm definitely gonna try it. 😂😂😂

[@luc_xott]

Absolute beast of a starter

[@ZerkSees]

That mapping looks juicy! The one thing I worry about is how it would fare against pinnacle bosses/guardians. Have you tried killing any bosses with this setup?

[@TonyAwesomePants]

Did you ever end up making a POB for the late-endgame version w/ Mageblood/Etc? Would like to see it if possible :)

[@besklucas]

would you recommend following the PoB or the Maxroll guide? I've noticed few things are different in them so idk

[@bobsherman3055]

follow the maxroll and the pob linked in the maxroll, the maxroll is updated by captaingarbage

[@gregkrilov]

Did anything get buffed/changed that is specific to this build? Or we just league starting this because its a cool build in general

[@kuatoroespada]

how well does this do on bossess compared to some of the other mine abilities? also, how do you scale the damage on this into the tens of millions for example

[@vwlop]

Loving the build, I am at the early exsang swap stage but getting a bit confused as have the four Aura's but cant use them all. Any tips?

[@TerryHausenn]

Hey Tuna, I used this is my league starter and pumped it up enough to clear fortress if I don't get hit. Got some currency and "upgraded" to SS Trick and while it's much more "safe", I absolutely hate the playstyle and want to go back exsang. Is there any POB or Player you know of that has pushed exsang to its limits? I would greatly appreciate it and thank you for the fantastic league start guide. It has been my favorite build of all time.

[@TakinaArpg]

Do you have any particular atlas in mind apart from legion i would assume ? Trying to come up with some sort of legion exped deli atlas but im pepegaing alot

[@user-ef1kz8mk7f]

he posted a video about it few days ago

[@TakinaArpg]

@@user-ef1kz8mk7f about the progression atlas and how to prog to t16 which is basically the new wandering path not about specifically farming.legion exped and most likely delirium sprinkled in

[@tripoxo-o2271]

Would this build be good for expedition( what mods to look out for...I assume just immune to cold right?), legion and maybe a bit of bossing?

[@talhasoy3637]

i'm really torn between this and CoC DD. do you think this build will be strong enough to farm juiced t17s?

[@jfleysh]

If you find out let me know, I'm in the same boat

[@11mazak]

bro same

[@Alexander-zw3sr]

me too

[@alexanderoof1900]

Remember coc DD You will need to buy mtx for dececrate

[@BrandingChangeYep]

@@alexanderoof1900 They fixed that, you do not have to buy the mtx anymore.

[@BusterGG]

Hey Tuna, great guide! It really is making me reconsider my league start choices! However... your showcase is a bit more towards lategame, no? Seeing how you have endgame jewels on your tree. Do you expect similar performance in a league starting scenario? Thanks a lot again, mate

[@olivermorgado4671]

Probably slower due to less dps (only 1 mil dps in low tier maps) should be fine with more investment.

[@BusterGG]

@@olivermorgado4671 Sure, though you gotta be able to pump out the content, to get to more investment. :) I checked POB, with 1.3M (including heatshiver), how reliably will you be able to run let's say t16 exarch maps, is the question

[@Adama.1]

@@BusterGG that's enough damage. Cant ultra juice yet but its fine for exarch. How do I know? Experience :)

[@user-ef1kz8mk7f]

Do you think it will be fine to swap to exsang without the gloves? planning on playing SSF and i wonder if ill struggle with it, what ur thoughts on that?

[@jeffwoodruff1015]

Hrimsorrow isn't too hard to get. Pretty common drop.

[@luc_xott]

You lose scaling efficiency with hatred the more %of phys you have. 40% from the tree is fine to start, can farm syndicate early to get glove conversion craft. Won’t feel too bad.

[@KimchiKommander]

Could you Delve with this build? Aside from mapping, doing some legion stuff in the atlas, always wanted to try and get far into delve and i love the way this build looks. Will be the first time i play traps. I guess it wouldn't be as good at bossing, but still viable?

[@KevinPlayingGames]

I'm using your guide along with the POB, but I'm having trouble understand the skill gem leveling. The POB is showing, for instance, Frost blink remaining at level 1. Is that for mana management purposes? Also, why does the guide show socketing both Frostblink and Flame Dash at the same time? Don't they share a cooldown?

[@KevinPlayingGames]

Yeah, the POB has most skills besides the main one listed as being kept to level 1 skill gems. There's an entry for Elemental weakness at skill gem 1 and no mention of it in the build guide, it seems to switch from frost blink to flame dash and back to frost blink, all at level 1. Just not sure if this POB is update or if this stuff was overlooked. Please advise when you have a moment. Thanks!

[@dotmatricks]

Started this last league with Tuna's POB and it was a banger! Just got baited again!

[@gasbic4651]

Thx for your effort❤. I choose you Tuna. 🎉

[@GameMnke]

Thanks for the build guide- it is going great. Something I can't find an answer to: The guide and pob have Brutality linked to Frostblink/bonechill. What is the effect that Brutality is providing? It doesn't seem readily apparent from looking at the gem. Thanks again!

[@jeffwoodruff1015]

It converts the frostblink damage so you don't die by using it in element reflect maps.

[@GameMnke]

Thanks. That was the only thing I came up with last night after thinking about it some more.

[@177silas]

Finally good LA replacement! Excellent build. I was looking for something like this for a long time now. This check most of my boxes for "perfect" build. Thanks a lot Tuna.

[@kylebusc3624]

I really hope the mine mastery counts you as moving if you're constantly throwing mines but also holding down left click if that makes sense

[@moeezkhan9483]

Could you make a guide or provide some insight on how to craft an end game sceptre? The Maxroll guide hasn't been updated with one yet.

[@TEONERA]

this build is pretty good! because easy convert to explosive trap, if you feel rack of dps for T17 bosses.

[@magnaillusion6085]

I did exang mines as an Inquisitor last league to farm Sanctums. Still debating if I wanna do this version, or Hexblast Mines for league start; do you think this version could do bossing reasonably well?

[@jordi6153]

The build has nowhere near the single target dmg of the inquis version you're used to - though that one builds like a complete glass cannon and does 400M so it's not an apples to apples comparison. That said, the high POB gets to ~15M and with a ton more investment you can get to maybe 30ish (I havent POB'd trickster, soz)? It should be an OK bosser. The chill also helps slow down bosses so they become easier, even if not represented in the dps number.

[@calebplaysgames6687]

do you think this build outshines hexblast mines in mapping and bossing? I am strongly debating between the 2 right now.

[@CrouchingTuna]

Not bossing but definitely mapping

[@Mish913]

@CrouchingTuna Good day. I have one more question for you. In the pob you chaos resist is 6% is there something I'm missing that's mitigating that?

[@user-kb1hw2yq2f]

from what i understand, as long as chaos res is positive a little, youre fine

[@LegendKev9719]

How does the Build perform at bosses like new ubers maybe and stuff and how good is it with bad gear early on ?

[@bobsherman3055]

wish you did a showcase with some early tier gear, the gear for the showcase you used is expensive

[@wykettou]

Awesome but 2 questions: How does it perform versus LA in term of clear and tankiness? Saboteur is doable and what pros? Sorry if said during video, but I don't recall

[@bobsherman3055]

LA clear might feel better but in general I believe you're going to be getting more DPS from mines and better single target with lower investment

[@UnimaxPL]

@@bobsherman3055 and how about tankiness? same squishy as LA?

[@bobsherman3055]

ultimately it's going to be pretty similar but it's a bit more tanky then LA while also applying freeze so phys damage really isn't that much of a worry besides slams etc@@UnimaxPL

[@g0ndal]

you have 2 diferent POB 1 in maxroll 1 in this video.. which one is the updated ?

[@itsmedreeeam]

I've never played mines but was thinking of going hexblast sabo, is this better than Hexblast Mines for a beginner?

[@CrouchingTuna]

Hexblast is a more single target focused build, this is more of a map clearer

[@devaryamadhukar8803]

Newbie question, but what’s a simple beginner friendly currency strat that I can implement right after the campaign that will get me my first ten div. I did essences last league but I’m not sure if that will be possible this league. Will it be possible to integrate essences with a standard atlas completion tree?

[@coys4646]

I did Expedition last league and it worked out really well for me. Sanctum is also a raw currency printer but I hate it

[@devaryamadhukar8803]

I like expedition, I tried it but I think I was doing it wrong, I took all the nodes on the tree and sold any log books I got and I used up all of the reroll currency. Is that the correct way to go about it?

[@devaryamadhukar8803]

Again I loved doing essences but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do them this league, I heard there were some changes?

[@coys4646]

@@devaryamadhukar8803 if you go onto maxroll, they have an updated expedition guide under the currency section.

[@sierinlang]

Exped - legion very strong money maker first week.. also do red altars… get a build up asap then use currencies to invest more into your strat… after a week or so it will snowball.. also don’t reroll after 5 days like most casual streamers do…

[@antoniomihailov9697]

Great video and only 1 question, is the build viable for HC?

[@xaphiste]

Nope!

[@tylerhamilton1030]

Trying to decide between this and Lightning Arrow is difficult

[@slimtee]

Hi Tuna ty for ur Guide. Is there any Lootfilter for this for lvling ?

[@KanarisTwitch]

It's his caster levelling filter on his poe profile. It's also linked on the Maxroll's FAQ tab

[@Drakthus]

This has been my first league whre i actually felt like i was progressing in the game, thank you so much for you hard work. Can you tell me which of your filters on your poe account relate to this build? thanks again :)

[@CrouchingTuna]

Happy to hear! It kind of depends how far progressed you are at the moment but id suggest pre-blasting or blasting. Just make sure to hold alt after killing a boss as the boss uniques are hidden because they share item base with common garbage stuff that would clutter up your filter while mapping.

[@Drakthus]

@@CrouchingTuna I've managed to clear yellow maps and will soon start in reds for the first time :) Thanks again!

[@redcooler4804]

would this do well for heist farming? that's typically my go-to currency strat early

[@matheuslemosspelier2267]

Hey bro, what are these thunder storm that randomly deals damage to enemies? I've seen a bunch of youtuber playing and this thunder always appear on it builds, but i dind't found out wich gem does it (im new to the game)

[@brettleisy356]

a few things for people thinking or struggling with this build. firstly, you do not need the mastery to explode mines when moving unless you are ultimate level of lazy. set your detonate mine skill to a hotkey. hold hotkey down as you play normally they will auto det. you can also auto det without moving now. NOTES on doing this tho. lift finger off and replace when gem swapping, mid map ID, gear changing, and between map areas (mainly in campaign) or it wont register your finger on the det mine key, takes less than a second. I actually prefer it this way as it allows me more control and options. like, lay 20 mines, trigger boss or strong box, run around corner wait for the target then press. you can go an alternate route to get to the same outcome, with less respecs as well. using storm blast mine early on is easier to manage for a MINOR loss of damage. this can be offset in many ways in gear. DO NOT spec into the fire nodes. move into Icicle Mines, some end game builds still use it to good effect. this will allow you to have decent progression until you get a 5L. you can't rely on luck or to be able to force it. if you can buy a 5L or better yet, a 6L. even a tabula is usable. doing this allows you to move straight into the cold and mine spec. the range is insane, specially with chain and trick shot. Ive cleared 3 screens ahead, and have cleared several rooms not even in a straight line on single throws. once you have your links and exsanguinate, there is a specific play style. you dont face tank things, it does not nor ever have the EHP for it. a lot of your defense is freeze locking the mobs, or blowing them up outright from screens away and around corner. if you are pushing new areas, throw as far as it allows, then move, over and over again, you get a rhythm down its still pretty quick. use corners/doors to your advantage. having an aggressor you are throwing into a room or around the corner keeps you ultimately safe, its free damage. some bosses/rares can be freeze locked, others cant. OHHHH. P.S. if looking for a strong weapon for this build. Nycta's Lantern can be picked up cheap, even somewhat early. while the perfect 200% might be a bit cheap for early on, you can pick up a 199% for 15-20% of the cost. at the time I grabbed mine, the 200's were 20-30c, I bought a 199 for 3c and there were several at this price. it will press on (easily) until you are ready to get your "mirror tier" weapon. people always sleep on this weapon

[@devonm8043]

Is this build going to struggle on bosses? Is hex blast more of an all rounder?

[@rafaellisiecki]

Isit srong on bosses like Firetrap or explosive / Fire trap of shrapnel ? Is it same build or totaly different ?

[@cedric_v]

Is there much difference defense wise between this and explosive trap by fearlessdumbo?
