[3.13] GLACIAL CASCADE MINES Saboteur v2.0 (2021 Edition) Build.OneShot bosses! ULTIMATE VIDEO guide
|
While everyone were playing Icicle mine in Blight League i was busy revamping the glorious Glacial Cascade build to it's former glory. I've been on a holy crusade for single target and on a quest for clear speed.
What you see here is a monstrous one-shotting build with literally unparalleled (for miners) AOE and great clear speed. I took it quite far, beyond the horizon, to see the limits of true POWER. That is GLACIAL CASCADE SABOTEUR. Throwing 23 mines now! One-shotting all bosses in under a second! Instead of just doing a build guide i've made a comprehensive MINES video guide where i will explain you difference between traps and mines, changes in 3.8 as well as discuss and show other mines in action! Check out my other 40+ builds out there! : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With over 40+ active builds it is becoming hard to keep up with replies and comments, so make sure you follow me on discord, twitter and more importantly = twitch to ask for anything! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➤ All here: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► PATREON to be real BRUH: https://www.patreon.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITTER to keep notified on shit: https://twitter.com/RoleplayerAngry ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► DISCORD to chat offline: !discord on stream ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIDEO BUILD/GUIDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYMU15geuKo ====================================================================================== http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/glacial-cascade-mines-saboteur-v2-0-2019-edition-path-of-exile-build/ V 1.3 Update (15/01/2021): -Pob updated for 3.13 -some reservation lost and a little less damage now V 1.2 UPDATE (26/06/2020) -POB updated for 3.11 -dropped Will of Blades for Blast Waves. +2 aoe radius now! V 1.1 UPDATE (12/03/2020) -POB updated for 3.10 ====================================================================================== How does it work, in general? In 3.8 a lot has changed for Miners. New supports, new mines, AURA tags, THROWING mines, as well as 23 mines now. One thing stays the same though: Glacial Cascade is still OP. Triple conversion from phys to cold to fire to chaos with a whopping 50% elemental damage as extra chaos thanx to Eternity Shroud + ignoring all monster chaos resistance entirely * 23 mines = damage unlike you’ve never seen since the abyssal STAT STICKS. To go full power you would need ALL shaper items on your gear (excluding jewels of cause)! While this sounds hard, in reality it’s all achievable with the biggest problems being rings (10+ ex each) ====================================================================================== 1) PROS

+one-shots most bosses (map bosses, guardians) +3 minute uber elder KILL with trash gear very early into the league +great AOE +need only ONE six-link +immune to reflect ====================================================================================== 2) CONS
Spoiler
-4.5k life (like any DPS shadow, literally) -survives on dodge alone -can’t really delve deep because no physical mitigation -getting Shaped Essence Worm rings is expensive 3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits

Spoiler
For jewels looks for crit multi with elemental skills \ cold \ global. For abyssal jewels: cold damage with spells. For Uber Lab enchant: 40% Physical Glacial Cascade converted to Cold (it makes all your damage Cold by default without using threshold jewels) 5L Glacial Cascade: Glacial Cascade-Blastchain.Mine-Trap&Mine.Damage-Hypothermia-Minefield 6L Glacial Cascade: Glacial Cascade-Blastchain.Mine-Trap&Mine.Damage-Hypothermia-Minefield-Cold.to.Fire For the gear i would prioritize: 1) Tabula Rasa and any levelling gear 2) lvl.10: Axiom’s Perpetuum X2 3) lvl.30-40: 5L Chest 4) lvl.38: Essence Worm 5) lvl.41: Tremor Rod 6) lvl.67: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Machina_Mitts if you want 7) lvl.70+: good +1 cold/physical wands & SHIELD 6) lvl.80-90+: crafting a multimodded Dagger TRASH GEAR THAT I USED FOR FIRST UBER ELDER KILL

Would have been nice if you had made a guide with your earlier gear. There is literally one person selling a shaper essence ring currently (and 3 offline that I can see and 2 haven't been logged in for 6+ days). And the one guy is not even replying to messages (I have 21ex). Or made alternatives for not having essence worms I suppose.
I was actually excited for this build guide until I seen that, feels bad :( | |
" Just got around to looking at this build. Oh it's another one of the Stack a bunch of Shaped Items with Eternity Shroud for conversion multi-dipping stuff. Honestly, while I appreciate AngryRoleplayer wanting to pseudo-revive GC mine, with that level of gear may as well just go Icicle Mines. |
|
" The level of gear is not that crazy. I specifically listed what gear i used to kill first Uber Elder and most content in the game. You don't even need a single shaper item for that https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

" I would prioritize other shaped items for now, cause ring is the most expensive (while not that rare). This is how i did it. I didn't not go and BUY both rings. It took me several weeks to get all gear and currency. I started with the chest, the slowly started upgrading each item, one by one: gloves, boots are easiest along with helm. belt is easy. wand or dagger is pretty easy. Amulet is about 1-2 ex so not that hard. Then you only literally have just the rings left https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

I am currently leveling this build without plans to move into Shaper items unless drops are coming. I just finished 2nd labyrinth and its moving along quite smoothly. A little squishy until you get acrobats and phase acrobats. All I've done is craft my daggers along the way and use a tabula from a previous drop.
Cheers! |

Hi!
I was lucky enough to get ABSOLUTELY ENDGAME version of Eternity Shroud and i'd like to make a glacial cascade miner using it, but i've very little experience playing as a miner. As such i have few questions, and here they are: 1st: isn't dual wielding better? 2nd: Multicrafting wands: isn't +1 to cold gems better affix than phys as extra element? 3rd: how about 2x CoTB shaped and links like: GC=>blastchain=>phys to light=>cold to fire=>empower4=>swift assembly or something similar? Thanx in andvance for reply! Cheers, Doroni |
