Leaning towards a icicle miner starter build too, not sure about deadeye vs saboteur tho.

I got a split arrow lv 21 with some quality for 25c in meta. No one plays it so its damn cheap.


Another strength of the build was how cheap everything was. Super easy to get started and Im all set theory crafting lets see how today goes hopefully I dont crash and burn but I like my chances this time :thumbsup:

I think it took me about 50c to get into t16 maps in standard, which says alot because 50c in standard doesn't buy you fuck all.

Currency in leagues has always had more purchasing power.

pyroclast is nerfed, icicle is pretty shit unless you scale proj speed. mines also got nerfed (0.25-> 0.3 throw speed) approximately 20% slower throwing speed (almost 20% dps nerf). It is still worth it, arc is good for mobs, BL is good for bosses. BL still feels pretty decent for map clear though


Watched a video that had commentary on the pyro nerf. The guy said here is a kill of sirus (took legit 1 second) now imagine this taking 2 seconds. So a 40% nerf to ridiculous OP damage is still super strong.

The problem is with the astral projector ring. In the patched notes GGG said they "fixed" some unintended effects of the ring. What that means I don't know. If the auto targeting doesn't work anymore that will be more of a loss then the pyro nerf.

if nova auto targeting with pyro doesn't work I probably won't ever play with pyro mines again. That or Ill run gem swaps and only use it for single target. There are plenty of mine choices with infinitely better clear. Its single target should still be fudging nuts tho.

everyone used that ring for clear however i just used a second 6l staff (i forgot the name of the unique i was using with additional detonations) one with pyro 6l and one with fireball 6l. I never used pyro for anything besides bosses/metas. the clear speed on fireball mines is very satisfying for a mine build.

Thats what I was originally doing til I stumbled upon the ring. FB mines in a tremor rod with fork clears pretty dang fast.

Just run a ball lightning mine setup, or you can grab thread of hope and the conversion node on ranger side right next to acuity with it and run blade fall mines with blade blast. It’s kinda gutted since they stealth nerfed blade fall giving only half blades when triggered, but still ok.
