Every time I see a tree like this one I instantly think... can ascendant do it better? RIP the true aura stacker. Not the watered down version of today's game.
depending how popular the build will be, the chest will be pretty rare with the exact colours on leaguestart. What other colour options are there for the build?
I mean like you said it is league start, the best colors are probably 3b, 2g,1r, but you can swap the red for a green or blue without losing much. Or hell use vanity for your starting 6 link and wait until you can snipe the correct colors for this build.
@@menduko3691 Yeah, I looked into that too. With the new changes on his PoB talent tree he would get +9% from the Inverterate wheel, +3% from Intuition, +4% from Quickstep, meaning only +16%. Easiest fix would be to path to Instinct for 4 points, now giving +22%.
do you know if the 20% increased damage from taryn's shiver applies when you freeze with mines? if so it might be a competitive option allowing you to drop purity of elements and the resistance jewels for a damage/defensive aura & ele damage grand spectrum's.
Eye of winter doesn't work well with traps because it deals more damage if the target is further away. And you have to throw traps on top of the enemy or it won't trigger. On the other hand you can throw mines wherever you want and trigger them yourself.
Quick question, between the build's focus on criticals and the difficulty with reaching resistance caps when using Annihilating Light, what do you think of helping Alira instead of killing all the bandits for this particular build?
Hi! I've started 3.18 with seismic trap and was able to farm a lot of currency early with guardian invitations. I was thinking of toxic rain for 3.19, it's pretty decent in red maps but it needs more DPS to do invitations, something like 20ex invested. Do you think eye of winter miner would be much much stronger or I still would able to progress quickly with toxic rain?
@@enzomatos2307 it's not that bad, can do t16 with 1-2ex which you can easily get from infinite heist or while progressing atlas, but requires more investment to do invitations or blight encounters
Hi Matt, I know your usual league starters are generally boss rushers, but could you also offer 1 or 2 builds that are more map focused? I dig your build guides and styles and would be interested to see what you would advise for a more mapping focused starter. Keep up the awesome content! Definitely prefer EoW over the creeping frost miner.
your creeping frost miner looks better to me defensively for mapping? this eye of winter build seems to have a delay before the monsters die, while the creeping frost build seems to hit significantly faster and also freezes. what about creeping frost inquisitor miner? would that work?
nah this is better offensively and defensively than the previous video tbh, way better actually you can make it quite defensive if you want with auras too, in this I went with offensive auras but you can go determination + grace actually
Is the tornado in conflict with staff mastery? By the way, how much is the secondary damage of the tornado without considering the chain? I mean if it can only reflect 10% of damage taken in 1.5s back in 4s.
Looks very funny and i always wanted to play EoW, but Skin of the lords + The Annihilating light are not really available untill 2-3 days into the league, no?
@@pathofmatth Ye i guess a very small amount will be available early, how would you itemise before annihilating light? Skin of the lords is pretty obviously just a tabula or some corrupted chest, but i guess the triple damage will be an insane upgrade dps wise
I know all this depends on the patch notes, but one of the things the manifesto implied strongly is that GGG is trying to make it difficult or even impossible for the left side of the tree to cap spell suppression. I am VERY BAD at theorycrafting myself, so please forgive the question, but is it too early to determine if spell suppression, or likely the lack of it, is going to make or break the build? Armor and Evasion basically don't exist as far as the PoB shows, blocking is bare minimum (not even thought of), but life regen doesn't look as bad as I've seen elsewhere. What thoughts do the actual theorycrafters have (assuming Path of Matth doesn't answer himself)?
If they don't change atziri's step, you'll need 1 piece of gear with suppress and the eldritch gloves implicit and that's it. The tree will do the rest.
@@elantonelle RF inquis is not that bad, especially explode variant with magic find gear ;) farming 8mod 200% quant maps like a tractor... you can check on my channel
Because MoM + EB is essentially 30% less damage taken but without the need to invest into ANY amount of Mana. Pretty cool! That's also getting buffed to 40% in 3.19 !
Hi, nice video, looks very interesting. Is the build working fine without Annihilating Light until you'll be able to kill searing exarch? Since it's a boss rush build I wonder if the build is able to kill bosses without it, who knows how pricy it can be at the start, tho It's possible to farm chaos recipes, but I'm not really into it. If its okay without the quarterstaff, what do you replace it with? Any unique staff to recommend or just some random okay stats rare one?
Taryn's shiver could be a decent replacement, or a rare staff with +3 cold and some other decent mods. Obviously nowhere near as much damage as anhiliating light but should work until you can get it
I remember awhile ago that mine detention was borked by some kind of bug or something. The mines would randomly just stop going off early and break the escalating damage increase. It was one of the things that pushed traps into the meta irrc. Anyone know if that is still a thing or has it been fixed? I haven't heard anything.
Apparently according to GGG it was intended, it was due to the cast speed of certain skills allowing the mines to "arm" faster or something. It's still the same so I'm still not a fan of blastchain but since this build gets triple dmg, we wouldn't get enough out of high-impact.
Sorry in advance as i'm sure you have covered this in past videos but can EoW traps work? or would a dedicated trap skill like lightning or ice trap be better? Not too keen on miner playstyle. thanks
I wondered this too, problem is eye of winter does a lot more damage at the end of its trajectory. So you do not want the projectiles to start on top of the mobs which would be the case with traps (they trigger when they step on top). With mines you instead throw them a bit further away from the boss and do a lot more damage.
Hey Matth, just wanted to say I appreciate all of your hard work and videos for all of us! Could you let me know about the defenses for the build, because I can't cant make sense of tankiness looking at POB?
Hi Math, thx for this awesome vid. Some rlly nice and easy to achieve mechanics you got figured out there. One question though: What about Fireball? Does it more dmg than EoW or less? Thx!
You can basically throw in blazing in the exact same build, just change the supports and drop the chain and good to go. The skeleton of the build is the exact same.
You can level with wintertide brand, spark or if you like asap using it - selfcast/mine eye of winter. Its not that hard to lavel mages nowardays since its scales well with vendor wands.
Good Morning! I would like to thank you for all your videos and guides you develop! It helps a lot of beginners like me! You have a fan in Brazil! Do you intend to make an eye of winter version of sabouter? Or some other sabouter mine (blazing salvo, fireball, icicle, ball lighting)??
Your build looks quite strong, I like a bunch of the interactions and definately considering starting it. The +60 crit multi if you haven't crit recently staff mastery looks strong, but won't tornado crit and nullify the bonus?
@@shartonamonday5085 He means tornado from the arcanist brand setup, I'm not entirely sure but I think it should not since tornado never rlly hits, just re-directs projectiles.
that's why you go Inquisitor though, his passive life regen makes it so you don't need life gain. with little investment you can pretty much regen 1,000 life and 1,000 es per second!
you literally have 1k regen / second for doing nothing. You really don't need more recovery on this build. If you don't get 1 shotted you simply won't die, ever.
Oh my God! I’ve been asking around on Reddit for a Eye o Winter Inquisitor build and you delivered! My God man! I love you so fucking much! Can’t tank you enough for everything you’ve done and everything you’ve reached me! GOD Gamer! 🐐
I really love and enjoy your video. Also follow your starter builds pretty much every league. However, I have started league with miner builds for too many times now. Would you be kind enough to suggest few other genre build this league.
Only accounting for Matt's builds, GC/BF zerker should still be really good. Seismic may come out with no more substantial nerfs if you want to try traps instead, otherwise explosive trap will likely be the go-to boss demolishing trap if seismic gets the GGG treatment and you can build it pretty similarly (no points tho since it converts to ele)
Biggest argument between this and seismic regarding bossing should be passive dps uptime on latter. Yeah, the one it's been nerfed on but everyone is still saying "it's fine". Any normal miner has to commit to spamming out mines after all and kind-of stand still to do it or significantly reduce dps expectations when dodging things. At higher end of budget seismic will provide semi-cast-on-death option of zerging uber-pinnacles, will this one match by instaphasing? Because of limited defenses of this build it could have situations of awkward bossing at some points where having even 3x-4x the dps of seismic won't technically be better if you're not actually instaphasing things. (Although frost shield/mom/regen should not be written off, it's not fully paper-thing as someone might think. Is it competitive with grace-determ-ms? Not necessarily while clearing but likely while bossing) Overall looks very promising, inquis is quite uniquely positioned to counter 3 major nerfs of lifetap, brittle crit rate loss and gravicious chest mod nerf (by using now gimped ES on EB & mom). Also comfort of using single skill for everything. Some interesting points to consider: 1. How does this compare to MoM indigon scion EoW variation early on. (consider it could be possible to use annihilating light on it) 2. Is it worth taking inevitable judgement early on. EoW can abuse abhorrent interrogation which will likely be stronger until very high crit values. 3. Might want to replace that CoD - portal on bosses with vortex-bonechill.
big burst, I tried it out a little, is a fun playstyle can do lots with cluster jewels too like Blastfreeze I'll probably have to run determination or something cuz i get absolutely pwned hard lol
Build looks incredible, i'll probably go for something similar at league start ! However i guess there's something i'm missing; in POB if i replace eye of winter with almost any over spell i end up with crazy DPS especially with things like arc or ball lightning, is there a reason you went with eye of winter ? Is POB wrong in its calculation ? Edit: I think i figured out where the damage difference came from. The last line of Eye of Winter says "up to 200% more damage" the further it travels. So by setting the projectile travel distance in the Effective DPS section, you can see the damage is on par with over skills like arc or spark. Still, is eye of winter the best in slot skill ? For pure single target DPS something like ball lightning seems to have even more DPS, at least in POB and something like arc would allow you to get rid of snakepit.
Absolutely love EoW mines, probably going to go with this since death wish looks like it's getting the streamer treatment. Doing this with devouring diadem and petrified blood + pain attunement sounds fun, especially with the new damage recoup availability. Is there any reason this might have some issues?
Hey PoM! I spent a bit of time in the PoB looking at it - looks very interesting. My one gripe though: you have Unnerved ticked in the config, but i couldn't find a source of it. Is it leftover from some other build or is it basically Tornado's 10% damage?
@@pathofmatth Yeah i know, it's pretty easy to get it on eldritch implicit, just wasn't there when i looked. If you poured a few more ex into it to cover for the missing affixes, would asenath's make sense here?
@@pathofmatth gentle touch. sorry for not being clear :D edit: and then realized you need to curse to use asenaths which im 99.99% sure mines can't do with on-hit so you'd need a blasphemy curse to work them. entire idea scrapped :D
In a private league with a few friends i'm thinking of going this over seismic, followed your seismic guide for last league and it worked like a charm I had a blast. If you say this is better I'm fucking sold. I should be fine going like a plus one cold shield/wand and whatever til i get a snakepit and the staff right?
i have tried EoW inquis miner as a previous league starter (shoutout goes to Jungroan for that build i rocked), worked quite well. Definitely need something else thats not seismic these days lol.

So by setting the projectile travel distance in the Effective DPS section, you can see the damage is on par with over skills like arc or spark. Still, is eye of winter the best in slot skill ? For pure single target DPS something like ball lightning seems to have even more DPS, at least in POB and something like arc would allow you to get rid of snakepit.
I'd say so, yes
I've made this build in standard and I somehow can't manage to sustain mana
Absolutely love EoW mines, probably going to go with this since death wish looks like it's getting the streamer treatment. Doing this with devouring diadem and petrified blood + pain attunement sounds fun, especially with the new damage recoup availability. Is there any reason this might have some issues?
Did you come up with a POB for that? sounds really interesting.
Hey PoM! I spent a bit of time in the PoB looking at it - looks very interesting. My one gripe though: you have Unnerved ticked in the config, but i couldn't find a source of it. Is it leftover from some other build or is it basically Tornado's 10% damage?
Would be on your gloves from eldritch, really simple stuff, obviously not required, it's ticked on from prior ye
@@pathofmatth Yeah i know, it's pretty easy to get it on eldritch implicit, just wasn't there when i looked. If you poured a few more ex into it to cover for the missing affixes, would asenath's make sense here?
@@CleavingRay which asenaths?
@@pathofmatth gentle touch. sorry for not being clear :D
edit: and then realized you need to curse to use asenaths which im 99.99% sure mines can't do with on-hit so you'd need a blasphemy curse to work them. entire idea scrapped :D
@@CleavingRay Curse on hit works with mines, but AGT doesn't for a different reason...
In a private league with a few friends i'm thinking of going this over seismic, followed your seismic guide for last league and it worked like a charm I had a blast. If you say this is better I'm fucking sold. I should be fine going like a plus one cold shield/wand and whatever til i get a snakepit and the staff right?
After further testing... seems Snakepit does nothing for us. Mark of the Shaper is a much better option ^^
Had to watch because I saw the video where you fought the maven with just the main skill.
I love all the defences in this build that isn't on the seismic build. This has cast on death + portal. very SC viable!
capped suppression, curse immunity, 1k+ regen / second, MoM.... It's got some layers of defense just fine.
really want to know how act with this one :)
Holy cow, looks great!
Thumbnail is S tier. Why did mudaseer always be so proudy?
Yesterday eye of winter now this , tomorrow your gonna post some ice spear mines and its going to deal double damage of this build .
Mirrors be with you, brother!
This seems like I build I might actually enjoy and I can tell you that thats pretty rare
Ooooh I've actually never played EoW before so i'm very intrested !
+ it seems to use the new version of MoM
no armour, no evasion, 400 ES with MOM?
yeah this is like the glassiest cannon there ever was lol.
My twitch vods day otherwise
Awesome build idea Math!!!! what about icile mine instead? you could even drop blastchain mine for more damage?
Daaamn, killing it Matt.
stutter steps and prefire mines is the defence. I would be sick of it before maps
Not usually a fan of mines, but damn that looks fun. The mapping is usually what deters me, but that was so clean m8.
i have tried EoW inquis miner as a previous league starter (shoutout goes to Jungroan for that build i rocked), worked quite well. Definitely need something else thats not seismic these days lol.
And.. Shock nova?
Imagine playing not a melee build in 3.19 OMEGALUL
do you have secret info saying melee is buffed? or just optimism?
@@bushy9780 xdd is buffed check manifesto
@@robotrock909 melee was pretty bad and one fortify change isn't enough to make it meta. There are a couple of hints to suggest melee buffs such as the Tawhoa's slam in chieftan or the aforementioned fortify. We'll see when livestream happens hopefully.
@@bushy9780 refer to havocs recent video big buff very playable xdd with +2 aoe cleave will be dropping ubers week one
I'm of the opinion that Inevitable Judgment might be the strongest ascendancy point in the game.
Nah, it's not that strong, it's quite possible to get a lot more pen than what is offered by that node. The real OP node is Pious Path
the device disconnect sound at the beginning lol
Thank you for such a wonderful build which can be played by casual player like me.
How are u so tanky?
Eh, it seems better, but creeping frost is such cool looking skill
I'd say the opposite. This looks way cooler
that ehp tho 💀
idk sounds way less comfy than poison seismic
Isn't MoM getting buffed as well? So theoretically, it could be even better than now
That actually might kind of be really bad for us with the frost shield but I'll fix it if it's broken in the PoB post-patch notes
I wanted to do seismic trap, but the nerf is an earthquake 😅 If we can do Minotaur with so low investment then I will do this build, looks better for map clear speed than seismic trap, I'm just worried for ubber Sirus fight, thanks for the build 👍
