LEVELING

 

Tips for Super Easy Level (beginner friendly)

- Start using Stormblast Mine on level 1, change for Icicle Mine on level 12 and finally on level 28 you can start using the main skill of this build, Pyroclast Mine.

 

Leveling Setup of Links

- From lvl 1 to 12 use Stormblast Mine.

- At lvl 8 link Added Lightning Damage.

- Reaching level 12 change Stormblast Mine for Icicle Mine.

- Also change Added Lightning Damage for Added Cold Damage.

- If you get one, you can also add Swift Assembly.

- Reaching level 18 add Trap and Mine Damage.

- Also replace Added Cold Damage with Elemental Focus.

- Reaching level 28 you can finally replace Icicle Mine with Pyroclast Mine.

- Also replace Elemental Focus with Combustion.

- Now you are ready to go, just keep upgrading your gear.

- As soon as you get a 5 Link or 6 Link remember the main setup.

- The main setup is: Pyroclast Mine – Swift Assembly – Combustion – Trap and Mine Damage – Fire Penetration – Controlled Destruction.

- It’s ok if you don’t have 6 linked sockets, it is luxury. You will be fine with 4 or 5 while saving PoE Currency to link the last slots.

 

Auras

- You can already activate Clarity at level 10, it’ll help a lot with your mana.

- At level 16 don’t forget to activate Skitterbot, these little fellas are extra useful for Trap and Mine builds.

 

Recommended Items
