Build Overview

FAQ

Is this build viable?
- Yes!
Is that DPS value real?
- Nope! PoB can only calculate the damage of the initial nova from Pyroclast Mine. It doesn't count any of the projectile damage at all, so the real DPS is at least 3-5 times more than the listed value.
What's better, Saboteur or Reliquarian?
- Saboteur's defensive bonuses are really good. Reliquarian has no defensive bonuses at all. Both ascendancies deal tons of damage. Choose wisely!

Skills

Pyroclast Mine is unlocked upon killing Gravicius in Act 3.
Detonate Mines is available after completing The Library questline in Act 3.
Automation is available in Act 3.
Link Automation and Detonate Mines to automatically detonate Pyroclast Mine.

How to Maximize Boss Damage

Turn off Automation, stack Pyroclast Mine x20, then use Detonate Mines ONCE.
Cast Pyroclast Mine until all mines detonate.
Turn Automation back on and continue throwing Pyroclast Mine.

Gear

Go after life and resistances!
Prioritize spell damage, critical strike chance, and critical damage bonus.
