I went ahead and changed up some small things in the PoB to make up for the 40% MoM (which allows us to go MoM + EB for Perma RF & no Mana required earlier).

Hey, that's great news buddy! I'll be sure to target farm / craft the gear showcased in the PoB and sell it to players like you at a premium. Then, I'll wait a couple of weeks until your character has 500 /deaths and you exasperatedly decide to re-roll. Finally, I'll buy back all your gear for a fraction of the price you originally paid for it, then individually destroy each and every item in my hideout for the fun of it. We'll be in touch!
You always surprise me with the quality of your guides, been league starting with your builds for multiple leagues now and I have always loved them. Keep up the great work!
I finished whole content Sentinel League had to offer with a similar build, Crit/Crit Multi Spark Miner Inquisitor. You can do every normal and some Uber content with no problem what so ever. And when you finally transition to Anihilating Light every bit of content turns to crispy dust. Your build is a great addition to the Mine Inquisitor family, really great build video. I can recommend this one to anyone when you try it, you won't stop Loving it.
I used this build a while ago from your original vid and man I was surprised at how fast it was and did a good job getting me to maps to get into my proper build at the time.
I got the feeling that you always have to proof that your builds infact DO work as a starter, as a bosser, as a mapper, as it may survive a white map... while other content creators just copy old build from others and get away with it. Thanks that you are taking your time to contribute. I may not start this as I prefer to be more tanky, but your contribution and the really detaillied guide is very much appreciated.
I played your trappe builds 2 leagues in a row and I loved them, I was really confused on what to play this league but thanks to you I have my strater now! Much love keep up the good work man!
Solid guide! Thank you for that :) im going to make my first ever practice run this week with that. I hope i can come close to your skill and it will feel good. then my league starter is solved.
And once again GGG has found a way to force 99% of league start builds to path all the way around the tree to the exact same location as phase acrobatics was. Now a days we are grabbing Inveterate instead.
that's absolutely fucking right my guy! I mean suppress is just too good to pass on as a league starter, with proper investment in this build I'll just drop all suppress and go glass cannon but reddit would crucify me if I did this in a starter :)
For those asking about Pantheons, if you go the RF route and you are having trouble keeping your health and mana up go Soul of Arakaali for reduced damage over time. If you have your Fire resist maxed with EB and MoM with Soul of Arakaali you should be good to go.
POM i want you to know that i am currently downloading poe patch to start my league start. and it wasn't even a debate. I will be starting Winter miner again! i didn't last league and i regreted it. i will not make the same mistake. Thank you for all you've given us and LONG LIVE POM!! #PomDidNothingWrong.
As always your guides are amazing. Indepth with thought actually put into it. Thank you for your time and effort. Will be running this build come Thursday
Lots of efforts put into this and well thought out, really helpful for a casual like myself. Feeling sorry about recent events, I hope you can have some honest reflection about your attitude and GGG eventually overturn their decision, even if they decided to keep your main account banned. Bit sad to see ppl crossing lines and burning bridges like that, cheers for the guide though really good
awesome stuff man, you've defo lvl'd up year after year, epicly comprehensive guide, well thought out and most importantly well put together so its understandable and easy to follow. Look forward to more and thanks!
I don't know ... I really don't know. What to choose: SH raider -> LS raider or just go with this one. I was leaning towards raider, but hearing about all the crazy rares made me think once again. And, on the top of that, it seems that I really don't need like 3/4 uniques to make this build work.
@Path of Matth I should point out, that when damaging your mana with mind over matter, your energy shield takes damage, and stops regening as normal. You just don't notice it with all yout Inquisitor ES regen constantly applied.
ye like I mentioned in another comment, essentially you are always regening and when you aren't you're probably recharging so it's pretty much always full unless you really take a ton of sustained damage
I am curious though, did you ever consider ball lightning, or is the area, and the speed of the balls just too bad for any sort of end game clearing? Considering, if you take the budget mapper, change the active skill to ball+slower projectiles, charged mines, trap/mine, minefield (I like it, so *shrug*) with high impact, and change 3 points from piercing shots, to Arcane expance, you get with the same 4 copies of the ball vs what you had with eye, and 15 active mines, about 6,4 M, compared to the 4,2 M of the eye (assuming all bolts of the ball hit). I do agree, that the area is clearly smaller, and you do not enjoy the safety of frozen enemies. I am pretty new to PoE, maybe 650 hours of mostly SSF, so I am lucky if my build does 1 M, so there are many things I don't know. Just a thought, as I have been rocking the Ball, and it felt better than the Eye with my extremely budget SSF gear. The PoB also showed me how important % life on jewls is to get more effective hp :P Thanks for a well articulated guide, it made me pay attention to stuff, I had not figured out before!
I was wondering - why do we skip the cold damage nodes/mods and go directly for mine damage? Does it matter if we scale one or another in our case? I guess we can lose some damage of the Flame Wall, but nothing else I guess?
Will you post your custom chaos reciple filter aswell havent ever really found a good one that works properly tried the extensions ones which were not great
Very good guide tyvm I have a question, you Say you use chain for mapping but didnt Say what you replace with while bossing ( have no computer ATM to go into pob )
Amazing video, amazing build. One small thing for me to ask, I can see that the Coward's Legacy is used. How do we mitigate the Vulnerability, so we can take advantage of all that goodness?
Is there any reason I can't just use your end game tree straight away? 🤔 I'm not a massive fan of changing things around etc and hoped I'd just use end game tree? Also my pob is showing everything as 3.18 is that a problem
nah its perfectly fine even if it says 3.18, I had made the changes already in the PoB Also you can go with the end game tree straight away but that also means you'll probably need overall better gear as you progress, while this tree takes consideration that normally your items during progression would be horrible
@@pathofmatth thank you for taking the time out your day to personally reply means alot. I'm semi rich at the moment with divine so have been able to buy a few decent end game items but will keep In mind what your saying. Thanks again 😁
Clear explanations :) Liked your lvling loot filter last league, this one seems even more polished, both visually, and structurally! One question though - Show Item by Slot there is one all classes
I love the detailed PoB instructions! Thank you so much for explaining what and when to get stuff. I've tried so many builds with barely any information at all or help and it's rough in this game. It's fun playing a build only to realize it's severely outdated lol.
PoE is a game where just a couple things can be the difference between have a good time and a VERY bad time. When I make builds nowadays I want to make sure people are lead in the direction which is most likely to lead to success. Now of course, some people will decide to simply take the PoB, not actually listen to my advice and explanation and then fail miserably, but at the end of the day, that's on them!
Yo, just tried leveling with this til act 4 and encountered a few issues, maybe there's something i forgot: 1.the very start with stormblast mines felt horrible, getting through the first few zones was paired with dying a lot die to lack in damage/having to stand still to throw traps After getting the sceptre upgrade at 12, it felt alright, still little clunky but enough damage to not get stuck in packs of mobs, stayed like this til eow swap 2. After swapping to eow in a 3 link without charged traps support, the damage went downhill again, at this point i dont know if thats just how it goes or if i forgot anything but i was running the lvl 20 vendor recipe sceptres and herald of ice/thunder
@@pathofmatth I did read them, thats where i knew to do the vendor recipes from, also grabbed the gems mentioned in there I really dont know why you need to be cocky about it, my intention wasnt to hate on the build i seriously hoped for an explaination as i encounter stuff like that on a lot of builds i try to play while i dont see what i should've missed despite following notes/video guide and yes, i did not exchange herald of thunder for skitterbots yet, dont see how thats gonna make a huge difference that'd be required
@@criteox5828 It says in the notes: "Eye of Winter (Library) + Blastchain Mines (Act 1) + Swift Assembly (Library) + Charged Mines (4th Link - Library) (BBBG)" specifically because you need the 3 supports for it to not feel clunky, while this bit isn't written in the notes page it was in the video
@@pineapplepokemon i saw the links though i had no access to a 4 link by then, what should i do instead? Just keep going with the old setup until a few acts later? I usually dont get 4 links until like act ,5-6+ From a few other comments people claimed it was still fine with 3 links, which made it even more confusing to me. Thanks for the reply already
Update on following the build: There is a learning curve for people who are new into mining such as myself. 1. Pressing (or holding) to detonate is a hassle at first. What you can do is , use your thumb to hold D all the time, nonstop or change the key to a button on your mouse and hold that button on the mouse with your thumb. (Thumbs are best as you use all other fingers). 2. You definitely need the unique jewel to pierce targets or mapping (clearing) is very hard as you need more mines and the longer you hold that detonate button 💁. 3. Is there any option to leave a button pressed by default such as is_pressed = true. Would make it so much better xD Thanks for the build. The build is great. The above are stuff that I personally faced.
Are there any guidelines when it comes to armor/evasion on the build? It seems that it's an armor body (horribly hard to get colors right, with our gem setup) and basically anything else (mix of evasion and ES).
Probably just a tabula until a skin of loyal / lords of set s livesearch for the right colors. I was expecting to be able to use harvest to color the stuff tbh ...
what do u think about ice trap inquis instead of this? i really tend to follow whatever u pick for leaguestart but im not a great miner and prefer the trap playstyle much more
Man you are spot on with this vid, wamted to test out how it performs and plays myself today. Think apso of playing absolution inquis as the combo of MoM + EB is soo strong.
Very interesting build! What about a trapper variant with the new Sunblast Belt though? I was tinkering with that + Architect's Hand on pretty much the same build ... the numbers seems even more insane! Did you try this or look at it?
Bro yet AGAIN I'm gonna league start with one of your builds, I don't know how you do it every league, but you always manage to make me wanna play the game lol
What about Pain Attunement and going low life with Petrified Blood? Is it viable to sustain that much damage while still going with RF? We're talking about much higher budget, which I guess you will cover in your future videos. If you fit ashes of the stars into the build, use life reservation efficiency mastery (20% in 3.19), and link enlighten 4 to vitality and petrified blood it should fit. Not sure if it will work, but definately something to consider :)
The Blazing Salvo miner build you did a while back was very successful for me personally, so I'll definitely be trying this miner as well. Thanks for all you do!
I see the Day 2 setup you showcased vs. Feared included the Annihilating Light staff? How realistic is it to get the staff that early in the league, granted it's a pinnacle boss drop?
Hi Matth, does this build have enough defences layers to not dyin too often? I mean i want good all rounder build for all content like, heist, expedition, easy bossing on maps and other easy bosses.
Would it be worth it to get more mana/reserve less? Unless I'm missing something (if I am please let me know!) you don't have enough mana/es to utilize as ehp for a big hit. I understand for sustain your regen has you covered, but not for 1 big hit right? Regardless i love the guide and I will be league starting it.
You have determination and defiance banner, in some more expensive PoB I would grab corrupted soul from doryanis and get like 2.5k es and fit in grace for 20k evasion but then things become more expensive quickly
Man I miss playing ball lightning miners back when you could just delete everything. Really wanted to play another miner. Was going to go with blazing salvo mines but this has me questioning that. I gotta ask even with the buff to blazing salvo you feel eye if winter is that much stronger?
I actually tested A BUNCH of skills in the setup, since it's just a generic inquisitor miner. Blazing Salvo, Ball Lightning and Creeping Frost were all quite good but Eye of Winter did win out slightly.
I went with this build for 3.20 and I love it. I am a casual so I'm only level 90 and have maybe 1.5 div worth of trash gear and am absolutely destroying t16s. If anyone else is considering this a couple things to consider (again from a casual experience): leveling is a bit rough without poacher's aim jewel + pious path nerf (at least for me and my shit luck finding good gear). Huge increases in DPS come from minor upgrades (20/20 gems, +mine damage on jewels, etc.) Get your last ascendancy ASAP it almost doubled my DPS just as I was getting to maps. Also you have to be careful of rippy mods and dot debuffs, as stated it's not the tankiest build but it IS fine for most content up to red maps at least. Not much else to say, excited to work my way up to the 10m dps bossing version and beyond this league. Thanks for all the resources Matthew, hope to see you back in the game some day. Edit: 20 div in. Build fuckin slaps. That is all.
Is there a reasonable alternative leveling this? I tried the Stormblast Mine/Orb of Storms combo, but this isnt for me. I just cant stand this. Tried with Flame Totem/Absolution, but not a big fan either...?
While you mentioned Chain in your mapping section, you left it out of your gem setup section. It would be nice to have a little clarity on what your replace to utilize Chain, and when and why you wouldn't use it. Myself I do believe I would only consider using Trap and Mine Damage & Hypothermia while mapping, so in order to gem swap on a pre linked and colored chest for mapping I would have to replace potentially Hypothermia. Thoughts on this? As it's obvious you wouldn't re-make the video to reorganize the Chain thought process during the link setup.
I am a little confused by the links for eow in the pob. It seems to me like the same links would go for both of the setups. Can someone please tell me what do i need to swap between the setups in terms of the eow links?
I will start with this, but wonder what flesh/flame combo i should progress to. Is getting time of need with cowards legacy and pain attunment ever a good idea? Other then that i dont see any great option for flesh/flame. Mabey power of conviction?
I want to try doing some Rogue Exiles + Torment as I’m getting gear and completion, could that be worth using the bossing setup for gems on maps? Or will the mapping setup be enough damage?
This is great content, thank you. Could you assist me as after loading the POB build the skills section is blank. running POB community fork 2.19.2 tried to re-import it and it still shows nothing for skills. Thank you in advance for the assistance.
Hi Matth thanks for the build, would you have any other recommendations for early bossers? I'm a bit tired of playing mostly mappers but i'm not a fan of the mine playstyle. Tyvm ! :)
Another absolute clinic on how to present a build and guide! Thanks for all the details and effort! To be clear Mapping = map AND map boss / Bossing = Pinnacle bosses - correct?
@@aniketgore0 use the ralakesh (i think) pantheon which gives you Flask charges if you haven't used a Flask and just wait out our flasks to be full if you hit a trap. Make sure to take 2 or even 3 life Flask in lab and that should also help a lot !
What do you think of helping Alira? Extra crit multi and resists (which are desperately needed when using the staff) doesn't seem that bad for 2 passive points.
Why using a Scepter with cold dmg instead of lighting, if lighting is higher? sorry didn`t had time to watch all the vid , would appreciatte a response :)
Hey, quick question: why is sniper's Mark good for single target. Do the projectiles that split of the boss hit the boss again, because in the description it only says they fly to OTHER targets
@@pathofmatth oh totally forgot about that line, thanks ^^ But wouldnt Assassin's Mark not be more damage then in the boss setup? Because sniper's mark is using the flask charge generation in 3.19.
i never played inquisitor (RF or miner or else) nor deadeye (tornado shot/corrupting fever) ; what would you say is the better rounded characted for an intermediate player ?
RF is pretty good last league. Very tanky with the right gear. Idk how it will be now that melding is different. You didn't need no crazy budget to do alot of end game bosses.
I’m really stuck between this and PF poison conc. I really would like to boss, and I’m more familiar with ranger than Templar. In 5 years I’ve never taken a Templar to end game.
Thank you Matth for the build guide it's incredible, looking forward to starting this build and hopefully getting some big time upgrades like The Devouring Diadem you mentioned
If i start with aurabot, how to scale dmg much more? Use spark, Nebulis x2, and call of the brotherhood. Or use EoW, and focus on hatred+zealotry aura-effect? What is better?
Forgive me but i m quite dumb. Is it possibile/viable to go traps instead of mines ? (I play on ps4 and i really hate having to detonate mines all the time)
basically unchanged since last league, all you have to do is basically drop defiance banner to make up for the 15% rmr mastery gone and ye, that's it you're good
Both are good, however his showcase was a normal minotaur with single boss and no maven and the map was white, with Sunblast buff you can expect around twice that amount of dmg, to me that still doesn't seem that good but maybe his setup was really weak. Overall it's preference I guess
Hi Matth, thanks again for a great video! My first build of you was back in the ball lightning days. For 3.19 i wanna do some Maven runs (never fought her yet), which would require the bossing setup. However, next league seems very mapping focused and after i switch to the bossing setup, i still wanna run maps (like i'm not going to buy every maven fight, i wanna farm it). Do you think Mapping is "fun" with the bossing setup or do you have a link to a stream where u did some maps with the bossing setup? Thank you very much
You could pretty much just run with the mapping setup but make sure to overcap your res by a lot and just weapon swap with the staff if you wanted the best of both worlds, obviously you'll have to figure out suppression issues and res issues but it's doable
@@pathofmatth thank you for your Quick Response :) are you planning to do a video for such a "hybrid" scenario? I will do a test run, but with my limited time i only will finish the campaign and not br able to do the Real testing. I feel that this Would not be the right build FOR ME but i would be astonished if there would be some guide or information about this topic as i'm not a Well enough Player to figure it out by my own. Cheers dude, the effort you put in your videos is great!
what do you think about using blazing salvio instead of eye of winter will it work or by other mean can i use blazing for mapping and eye of winter for bossing

PoE is a game where just a couple things can be the difference between have a good time and a VERY bad time. When I make builds nowadays I want to make sure people are lead in the direction which is most likely to lead to success.
Now of course, some people will decide to simply take the PoB, not actually listen to my advice and explanation and then fail miserably, but at the end of the day, that's on them!
Yo, just tried leveling with this til act 4 and encountered a few issues, maybe there's something i forgot:
1.the very start with stormblast mines felt horrible, getting through the first few zones was paired with dying a lot die to lack in damage/having to stand still to throw traps
After getting the sceptre upgrade at 12, it felt alright, still little clunky but enough damage to not get stuck in packs of mobs, stayed like this til eow swap
2. After swapping to eow in a 3 link without charged traps support, the damage went downhill again, at this point i dont know if thats just how it goes or if i forgot anything but i was running the lvl 20 vendor recipe sceptres and herald of ice/thunder
So you didn't even read the pob notes and wonder why it doesn't feel great? XD
@@pathofmatth I did read them, thats where i knew to do the vendor recipes from, also grabbed the gems mentioned in there
I really dont know why you need to be cocky about it, my intention wasnt to hate on the build i seriously hoped for an explaination as i encounter stuff like that on a lot of builds i try to play while i dont see what i should've missed despite following notes/video guide
and yes, i did not exchange herald of thunder for skitterbots yet, dont see how thats gonna make a huge difference that'd be required
@@criteox5828 It says in the notes: "Eye of Winter (Library) + Blastchain Mines (Act 1) + Swift Assembly (Library) + Charged Mines (4th Link - Library) (BBBG)" specifically because you need the 3 supports for it to not feel clunky, while this bit isn't written in the notes page it was in the video
@@pineapplepokemon i saw the links though i had no access to a 4 link by then, what should i do instead? Just keep going with the old setup until a few acts later? I usually dont get 4 links until like act ,5-6+
From a few other comments people claimed it was still fine with 3 links, which made it even more confusing to me.
Thanks for the reply already
Update on following the build:
There is a learning curve for people who are new into mining such as myself.
1. Pressing (or holding) to detonate is a hassle at first. What you can do is , use your thumb to hold D all the time, nonstop or change the key to a button on your mouse and hold that button on the mouse with your thumb. (Thumbs are best as you use all other fingers).
2. You definitely need the unique jewel to pierce targets or mapping (clearing) is very hard as you need more mines and the longer you hold that detonate button 💁.
3. Is there any option to leave a button pressed by default such as is_pressed = true. Would make it so much better xD
Thanks for the build. The build is great. The above are stuff that I personally faced.
Are there any guidelines when it comes to armor/evasion on the build? It seems that it's an armor body (horribly hard to get colors right, with our gem setup) and basically anything else (mix of evasion and ES).
Probably just a tabula until a skin of loyal / lords of set s livesearch for the right colors. I was expecting to be able to use harvest to color the stuff tbh ...
I thought inspiration charges only affected the supported skills. Do they affect all your skills and but just the aura?
Thanks for this. I was waiting for a levelling/progression guide. :)
what do u think about ice trap inquis instead of this? i really tend to follow whatever u pick for leaguestart but im not a great miner and prefer the trap playstyle much more
You think it might be decent pick for Blight-ravaged maps? Those unique bosses are tanky af...
not really
well done on the design, it may give me a reason to play long neck man for the first time this league :) good luck on your league start everybody
Such a loveling build and guide. We follow the Path of Matth.
After the remove of Poacher's Aim quest reward any tips?
Man you are spot on with this vid, wamted to test out how it performs and plays myself today.
Think apso of playing absolution inquis as the combo of MoM + EB is soo strong.
Very interesting build!
What about a trapper variant with the new Sunblast Belt though? I was tinkering with that + Architect's Hand on pretty much the same build ... the numbers seems even more insane!
Did you try this or look at it?
Bro yet AGAIN I'm gonna league start with one of your builds, I don't know how you do it every league, but you always manage to make me wanna play the game lol
What about Pain Attunement and going low life with Petrified Blood? Is it viable to sustain that much damage while still going with RF? We're talking about much higher budget, which I guess you will cover in your future videos. If you fit ashes of the stars into the build, use life reservation efficiency mastery (20% in 3.19), and link enlighten 4 to vitality and petrified blood it should fit. Not sure if it will work, but definately something to consider :)
The life rmr mastery nerf makes that a tough change tbh
The Blazing Salvo miner build you did a while back was very successful for me personally, so I'll definitely be trying this miner as well. Thanks for all you do!
I see the Day 2 setup you showcased vs. Feared included the Annihilating Light staff? How realistic is it to get the staff that early in the league, granted it's a pinnacle boss drop?
It really depends on how much time you have for games. If you are degen that can play 24 hours - yeah of course realistic even on day 1.
Hi Matth, does this build have enough defences layers to not dyin too often? I mean i want good all rounder build for all content like, heist, expedition, easy bossing on maps and other easy bosses.
Check the 60% deli map video, that'd with super early gear and a 5link
thanks for the detail guide video.. how about playing trickster eye of winter miner ?
Would it be worth it to get more mana/reserve less? Unless I'm missing something (if I am please let me know!) you don't have enough mana/es to utilize as ehp for a big hit. I understand for sustain your regen has you covered, but not for 1 big hit right? Regardless i love the guide and I will be league starting it.
You have determination and defiance banner, in some more expensive PoB I would grab corrupted soul from doryanis and get like 2.5k es and fit in grace for 20k evasion but then things become more expensive quickly
Man I miss playing ball lightning miners back when you could just delete everything. Really wanted to play another miner. Was going to go with blazing salvo mines but this has me questioning that. I gotta ask even with the buff to blazing salvo you feel eye if winter is that much stronger?
I actually tested A BUNCH of skills in the setup, since it's just a generic inquisitor miner.
Blazing Salvo, Ball Lightning and Creeping Frost were all quite good but Eye of Winter did win out slightly.
I went with this build for 3.20 and I love it. I am a casual so I'm only level 90 and have maybe 1.5 div worth of trash gear and am absolutely destroying t16s. If anyone else is considering this a couple things to consider (again from a casual experience): leveling is a bit rough without poacher's aim jewel + pious path nerf (at least for me and my shit luck finding good gear). Huge increases in DPS come from minor upgrades (20/20 gems, +mine damage on jewels, etc.) Get your last ascendancy ASAP it almost doubled my DPS just as I was getting to maps. Also you have to be careful of rippy mods and dot debuffs, as stated it's not the tankiest build but it IS fine for most content up to red maps at least. Not much else to say, excited to work my way up to the 10m dps bossing version and beyond this league. Thanks for all the resources Matthew, hope to see you back in the game some day.
Edit: 20 div in. Build fuckin slaps. That is all.
Hey Math loving the guide! Do you think there is possibility as running this as a trickster?
Is there a reasonable alternative leveling this? I tried the Stormblast Mine/Orb of Storms combo, but this isnt for me. I just cant stand this. Tried with Flame Totem/Absolution, but not a big fan either...?
Sure you can level with spark or Armageddon brand & cremation, there's guides on TH-cam from imexile for both
While you mentioned Chain in your mapping section, you left it out of your gem setup section. It would be nice to have a little clarity on what your replace to utilize Chain, and when and why you wouldn't use it. Myself I do believe I would only consider using Trap and Mine Damage & Hypothermia while mapping, so in order to gem swap on a pre linked and colored chest for mapping I would have to replace potentially Hypothermia. Thoughts on this? As it's obvious you wouldn't re-make the video to reorganize the Chain thought process during the link setup.
Chain requires snakebite so I didn't include it in the guide, pierce is more than fine
I am a little confused by the links for eow in the pob. It seems to me like the same links would go for both of the setups. Can someone please tell me what do i need to swap between the setups in terms of the eow links?
correct me if i'm wrong, but 3.19 is removing the reservation nodes seen at 9:57. Build doesn't need it?
not using any of the masteries being removed in 3.19 ^^
Great guide, i do have 1 question tho, where did you say you were getting onslaught from in your mapping setup?
Only early on from frostbomb, you won't get it later on when you swap to crit but at that point it also won't make much of a difference
I will start with this, but wonder what flesh/flame combo i should progress to. Is getting time of need with cowards legacy and pain attunment ever a good idea? Other then that i dont see any great option for flesh/flame. Mabey power of conviction?
Ye on Templar none of them are very attractive sadly
@@pathofmatth Okey thx for the answer, great content btw.
I want to try doing some Rogue Exiles + Torment as I’m getting gear and completion, could that be worth using the bossing setup for gems on maps? Or will the mapping setup be enough damage?
Mapping will be plenty, you literally don't need the bossing setup outside of endgame bosses like maven, feared or above
This is great content, thank you. Could you assist me as after loading the POB build the skills section is blank. running POB community fork 2.19.2 tried to re-import it and it still shows nothing for skills. Thank you in advance for the assistance.
not sure, its working fine for me, maybe reset your pob and update, just make sure its good
@@pathofmatth Thank you, re-imported the URL and it now shows for me...Thank you again for the great guide and video.
Thanks for your video, but can you explain why is there staff mastery for +60% crit multi if not crit recently?
you never crit, your mines do, so it's ALWAYS active
I am confused, what is the 6L setup for bossing?
Thanks, will prob. play this as my first miner!
Hi Matth thanks for the build, would you have any other recommendations for early bossers? I'm a bit tired of playing mostly mappers but i'm not a fan of the mine playstyle. Tyvm ! :)
Maw Elementalist
Looking good! Might start a practice run in a bit! How would you go about moving towards a medium-end gear set up? Like 50-100 ex...i mean divines :P
Another absolute clinic on how to present a build and guide! Thanks for all the details and effort! To be clear Mapping = map AND map boss / Bossing = Pinnacle bosses - correct?
Bosses is anything maven and above
Can you add some end-game high budget setup to POB to scale the damage to the moon please?
Great guide, thanks for it. If we can't do uber lab, do you suggest we continue with same ascendancy and path?
Why can't you do uber lab?
@@pathofmatth I keep dying to the traps, and it's quite hard for a casual player like me.
@@aniketgore0 use the ralakesh (i think) pantheon which gives you Flask charges if you haven't used a Flask and just wait out our flasks to be full if you hit a trap. Make sure to take 2 or even 3 life Flask in lab and that should also help a lot !
Great stuff. I leaguestarted this in expedition, may have to do it again. Can attest, its great.
What do you think of helping Alira? Extra crit multi and resists (which are desperately needed when using the staff) doesn't seem that bad for 2 passive points.
Don't need it either for progression or endgame
Why using a Scepter with cold dmg instead of lighting, if lighting is higher? sorry didn`t had time to watch all the vid , would appreciatte a response :)
Hey, quick question: why is sniper's Mark good for single target. Do the projectiles that split of the boss hit the boss again, because in the description it only says they fly to OTHER targets
they also take increased projectile dmg, that line alone is good :)
@@pathofmatth oh totally forgot about that line, thanks ^^
But wouldnt Assassin's Mark not be more damage then in the boss setup? Because sniper's mark is using the flask charge generation in 3.19.
@@pathofmatth that would also free up some skill points like the suppression mastery at innervate in the boss setup
i never played inquisitor (RF or miner or else) nor deadeye (tornado shot/corrupting fever) ; what would you say is the better rounded characted for an intermediate player ?
RF is pretty good last league. Very tanky with the right gear. Idk how it will be now that melding is different. You didn't need no crazy budget to do alot of end game bosses.
One of the best guides ive ever seen. Wave of conviction/Arc miner with Lightning Conduit Inquisitor when?
I've never played a miner before, so are you spamming the D button or are the mines going off when you hold left click down? ty!
Left click, it's really nice, doesn't feel like the old mining where you were hitting D every second
Will you make other build guides for those of us who don't like miner/trap playstyle?
I'll be looking into starters as a daily thing from now till league start but I'm pretty set on this as my starter
eye of winter miner sabotour still live?
your build is awesome man, but can you please also suggest some alternate starter builds?
I’m really stuck between this and PF poison conc. I really would like to boss, and I’m more familiar with ranger than Templar. In 5 years I’ve never taken a Templar to end game.
Thank you Matth for the build guide it's incredible, looking forward to starting this build and hopefully getting some big time upgrades like The Devouring Diadem you mentioned
If i start with aurabot, how to scale dmg much more? Use spark, Nebulis x2, and call of the brotherhood. Or use EoW, and focus on hatred+zealotry aura-effect? What is better?
play spark with 2x cotb and 2x large clusters and drop all spell suppression
@@pathofmatth only 1 cotb to still hit 50% shocks
@@nicolas2776 good call ye
Forgive me but i m quite dumb. Is it possibile/viable to go traps instead of mines ? (I play on ps4 and i really hate having to detonate mines all the time)
Sadly not rlly, build would be drastically different
Any advice for your general cry build? I want to league start it but I want your opinion first.
basically unchanged since last league, all you have to do is basically drop defiance banner to make up for the 15% rmr mastery gone and ye, that's it you're good
Def appreciate all the work you put into this.
Can you do the end game gear build before the league start?? Pretty please?
Any idea how this would compare to jungroan ice trap inquisitor ? Im kinda sold on Inquisitor starter so im juggling between these two +crack lance
Both are good, however his showcase was a normal minotaur with single boss and no maven and the map was white, with Sunblast buff you can expect around twice that amount of dmg, to me that still doesn't seem that good but maybe his setup was really weak.
Overall it's preference I guess
Would it work with trap support?
I really like the build but I am not really a fan of mines :'3
Hi Matth, thanks again for a great video! My first build of you was back in the ball lightning days. For 3.19 i wanna do some Maven runs (never fought her yet), which would require the bossing setup. However, next league seems very mapping focused and after i switch to the bossing setup, i still wanna run maps (like i'm not going to buy every maven fight, i wanna farm it).
Do you think Mapping is "fun" with the bossing setup or do you have a link to a stream where u did some maps with the bossing setup? Thank you very much
You could pretty much just run with the mapping setup but make sure to overcap your res by a lot and just weapon swap with the staff if you wanted the best of both worlds, obviously you'll have to figure out suppression issues and res issues but it's doable
@@pathofmatth thank you for your Quick Response :) are you planning to do a video for such a "hybrid" scenario? I will do a test run, but with my limited time i only will finish the campaign and not br able to do the Real testing. I feel that this Would not be the right build FOR ME but i would be astonished if there would be some guide or information about this topic as i'm not a Well enough Player to figure it out by my own.
Cheers dude, the effort you put in your videos is great!
Could anyone help me out i kinda want to turn this build into a totem build. I got a tree going but I'm not on path of maths level at pob lol
what do you think about using blazing salvio instead of eye of winter will it work or by other mean can i use blazing for mapping and eye of winter for bossing
Why would you do that? Blazing has a significantly worst clear speed
@@pathofmatthmaybe because asmodeus recommend blazing salvo miner as league starter with the argument that it has way better clear speed than EoW
tnx for your guides. You are best poe streamer. Your builds are very good)
Is there somewhere I can find what I need to annoint? Don't see it on the POB or video
Divine judgement is a solid choice and quite cheap
@@pathofmatth Thank you! Enjoying build quite a bit. Any advice on general stats should be looking for on gear. Currently at level 89
