never played mines before, would you start with arc? I also see a ton of people using ball lightning but I also am curious about stormblast pyroclast and icicle. I have heard icicle is only really good when you get good gear and pyroclast kinda needs that new projector ring to feel good. I could totally be wrong its just what ive heard

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

Pyro still playable it just became a 6 second boss deleter instead of the old 2 sec per shaper dps

Among the nerfs there are nice qol improvements from the new nodes not just for mine but for spells which just also affects mines.

Spell debuffs
Worry free arcane surge
Warcry spamming for all builds
Nearby elemental debuffs
And miner with sketterbot can use that cannot shock chill or ignite instead brittle sap node to both get huge dps, safety, and at the same time still shock and chill. Pogchamp
