So I havent played PoE since Heist, but d4 is such a drag that Imma start again

Im thinking of going hexblast miner, doing pyroclast mines until I get a curse on hit ring. Anyone tried starting a league with this? It seems to be a fast mapper while also being good at bossing. Does anyone have a guide to recommend? Only found poison hexblast mines on the forums but Id like to just nuke

Choose any ruthless viable build abd you will be more than fine lol
I am thinking also about hexblast sabo miner, but havent play it before, and I am not sure about defence side.
I am going to start with pathfinder poison conc, and after doing atlas and getting some currency, hexblast miner or hot elementalist for mapping.

A lot of people got hyped about hexblast miner starter, many of the will get dissapointed by playstyle, it's not for everyone. But it's strong if you can enjoy it.

That is certainly true! Ive played arc mines when it was meta and purifying mines one league so Im rather used to the playstyle of mines. Im dying ALOT trying to be fast in the campaign though, but I think that may be since I havent played in years. Or is there anything in particular for hexblast mines you were thinking of?

Nothing specific, it's just mostly miners are squishy glass cannon builds, need to either get used to it and play to its strength (e.g. focus on boss killing) or adjust build to add more defense and sacrifice some damage.

True, I feel squishy AF but I also try to be fast so I play very aggressive which may not be the smartest approach lol

Im also not used to having to smash detonate multiple times. Back in my days we just pressed it once

Hm, no need to press it multiple times? Once detonation sequence is going you can throw more mines and they will get detonated as well. Also detonate on LKM is great, you don't even think about timings most of the time.

It will be to much dying for me, prefer to make a safe bet.
I need some investment on traper/miner to feel good, maybe skill isuue ^^

p.s. Didn't see many content creators promoting my build, I dont mind cheap gearing ;)
