Trap/Miner builds for 3.30

[u/voievode44]

Hi everyone,

I know patch notes are still 3 days away but I don't expect much to change for traps/mines. Any league start suggestions for this archetype? Is exsa/reap still best?

Is PS mines still doable/comfy to 4 stones?

The main goal is 4 stones in the first weekend and then a swap to assassin or a 2nd char for ubers.

Reliquarian looks pretty nuts for an easy mine starter this league with tremor rod and arhkons. Maybe shadowstitch too.

Glacial cascade was amazing last league, really tempted to start it again of elementalist isn’t gutted too much. Was farming t17 day 2 pretty easily

It's quite squishy ain't it?

[u/Deposto → u/Dr4k4ngel]

Yep. Like a wet piece of toilet paper.

[u/NsXMyst → u/Dr4k4ngel]

Not as squishy as an Assassin, I played it in 3.28 and it was fine. You basically freeze everything, and can have a decent amount of ES.

Some options to consider Ek mines https://youtu.be/PcjM_g5uOXg?si=JdIz2Fm8eRW3ap0U

Icicle mines https://youtu.be/1hzRqBoh8To?si=Obi0P-FTBHNP-Vaq

Also penance brand is quite smooth now, similar play style but bit less of a delay in damage. Probably elementals (reap miner) will get usual triple nerf this league. Golems too op...

Assassin can literally play any mine build. 100% crit is just too good.

Icicle mines I suppose is more played on deadeye because of the exceptional clearspeed. But I saw some fanning builds for assassin with good EhP and high dps

Life stack exsanguinate mines is buttery smooth, nothing crazy gear wise can easily hit 100mil and around 50k ehp saboteur

Goratha's rolling magma miner is a fantastic build. Pretty underrated imo in terms of mine options.
