Intro & build description
One of the most enjoyable builds I’ve played, it is super safe and fast clearing. Build runs through maps very quickly while destroying everything on its path. Sadly, builds area effect did get nerfed (every skill in the game got nerfed), but it still covers more than plenty space for quick mapping so it is not big of a deal. If you can’t decide what to play in upcoming league, I assure you, you can’t go wrong with Fire Mines. Build doesn’t require any specific uniques to start with, ones that enhance build greatly are dirt cheap.
Build Pros
- Very safe
- Cheap
- Good clear speed
- Perfect build to start in new leagues
- Can get adapted for magic finding
Build Cons
- Can't do Guardians, Shaper or Uber Atziri

Have you tried running with Carcass Jack Varnished Coat instead of The Covenant Spidersilk Robe?
Haven’t tried it because I felt there was no need for more area of effect, damage on chest is great though. Carcass could work really great, but I feel like Covenant makes it easier on 4link and 5 link. Essentially one extra link from added chaos.
