[3.15] FROM ZERO TO HERO | EYE OF WINTER SABOTEUR MINER |IGNORE ALL MODS | -130 COLD PEN
 Hi everyone, it has been a while since a shared a build guide. My signature build is explosive arrow and since EA is kinda dead and with all the nerfs I wanted to try something new. New skill Eye of winter will take you from through all end game content and safely. LEVELING
Spoiler
You can level with any mine or trap skill.
I leveled with Fire trap and then Flamethrower all the way till I got Eye of Winter. Kill all bandits or keep Alira alive, it is up to you 4L:Eye of Winter + Blastchain mine + Trap and Mine damage + Pierce. For leveling you can use any gear just to cover your resistances. What I recommend is getting a +1 to cold spell gems 1 hand weapon and a shield until you get Tremor rod. GEM LINKS
Spoiler
4L:Eye of Winter + Blastchain mine + Trap and Mine damage + Pierce
5L:Eye of Winter + Blastchain mine + Trap and Mine damage + Pierce + Charged mines 6L:Eye of Winter + Blastchain mine + Trap and Mine damage + Pierce + Charged mines + Increased Critical Strikes + Inspiration Once you get Awakened added cold damage, for bossing you can take out Pierce and swap it.Keep in mind that if you have a tremor rod, you do not need blastchain mine. For mapping I tested and it is better to use Faster projectiles as long as you have pierce crafted on your helmet and gloves. GEAR
Spoiler
There are a few options regarding the gear, it depends which part of your build you want to strengthen. I personally went for bossing focus.
Gloves
Spoiler
Any rare to cover resistances with life and increased damage to chilled enemies.
Belt
Spoiler
rare with life and resistances
Boots
Spoiler
Unique Atziri's step
Chest
Spoiler
Any rare with life and resists. End game chest we would go for +1 to curse and +% to spell crit
Weapon
Spoiler
Tremor Rod or Wand with +2 to spell skill gems (cold and all spell) and a shield with +1 to cold gems.
Helmet
Spoiler
Rare with resists or Crown of the inward eye if you can cover resists.
Rings
Spoiler
Malachai Artifice and a rare ring with resists and life
Amulet
Spoiler
: a Rare amulet with life and resists until you get a Pandemonius.
My Gear: This is the gear I have so far but can be improved and min maxed a lot for even more damage. GAMEPLAY
Spoiler
As far as the way you play this build goes,you want to put detonate mines on your left click so you detonate mines all the time while moving.
For mapping you can use Frostbite and for bosses Sniper's mark. We use the unique ring Malachai's Artifice and we socket it with Armagedon Brand to trigger elemental equilibrium and ignite enemies. Keep in mind that we lower enemies resistances by 105 and that is all flat minus resists, even for bosses. Frostbite not included. PROS AND CONS
Spoiler
+safe gameplay
+Amazing boss damage +very cheap and good league starter +a lot of resistance penetration +perma freeze bosses -solid but not the fastest mapper -dodge build so sometimes big hits can hurt -it is a miner so hand can hurt with all the spells OVERALL IMPRESSION BOSSING:10 MAPPING:8 SURVIVABILITY:8 COST:10 Keep in mind this build can be min maxed and get more expensive but the budget version will take the entire game.

Hi... I saw some raider eye of winter miners. Whats the difference between saboteur and raider playing this build?. And could I play this build in hardcore?
| |
" Raider is faster but less survivability and less damage. Saboteur is the way to go for bosses. This build is viable in HC but with Kaom's heart and some adjustments in the tree |
|
|
To ignite enemies and take advantage of the ascendency, I use Skitterbot + infernal legion. But I'll use the Malachai's Artifice + some blue gem to trigger EE.
I decided to run EoW miner from scratch and I'm picking some tips from different guides. This one is helpful. | |
" Thanks bro, gl and enjoy |
|
" I can understand raider is less damage, but I would have imagined it's better survivalibility, since you get +15% dodge, phasing, and with maybe 5 more points cap your ailment immunity. You lose the blind and regen but maybe pandemious amulet can cover that? Last edited by Chubbypuppy on Aug 3, 2021, 4:19:33 PM

It is possible. Pandemonius can replace blind
|
|
|
Would this be better then ice trapper? Bossing wise and survival?
|
|
" i tried Ice trap and this build beats it both bossing and survivability wise. During mapping, thanks to faster projectiles it freezes everything off screen and bursts bosses in 2 3 seconds. |
