[3.0] Fire Nova Mine Shadow (Saboteur)

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

Helmet

Hubris Circlet

Hybrid rolled Hubris Circlet with high life, energy shield, elemental resistances. I suggest buying Hubris with ”Fire Nova Mine repeats an additional 2 times” enchant and crafting it yourself.


Body Armour

The Covenant

The Covenant makes Fire Nova Mine 7-link possible which is huge deal damage wise.


Gloves

Rare Gloves

Rare gloves with life, elemental resistances and attack speed to make your shield charge responsive.


Boots

Mutewind Whispersteps

Use any rare boots with movement speed, life and elemental resistances till you buy Mutewind Whispersteps.


Left Ring

Two-Stone Ring

Life, elemental resistances, fire damage.


Right Ring

Doedre's Damning

Thanks to this ring we can run dual curse supported by blasphemy. If you are rich, I suggest buying amulet with extra curse corruption.


Amulet

Bisco's Collar

Really great amulet, immensely increases loot you get from killing monsters.


Belt

Leather Belt

High life, elemental resistances, flask charges gained.

  1. skill tree will not load… is it possbile to upload?

    • Thank you. Passive skill trees were made with poeplanner.com prior to 3.0 launch, sadly it stopped working on launch day. Passives are up to date now, sorry for the inconvenience.

  2. The link for the skill tree is down, can you please fix it? thanks

  3. 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.
