Goratha's Saboteur Rolling Magma Mines 3.26 League Start Plans - FREE NIMIS?!

ACT 1-3 SELF CAST ROLLING MAGMA WITH ELE PROLIF + COMBUSTION -Make sure you go for double crafted Fire to Spells off Solaris 2 recipe. (4 transmutes per craft - total 8 transmutes) -With Dark Arts make sure you use two different weapon types, you can whirling blades with a claw/dagger or sword/dagger. -Can weapon swap wands early for damage on single target before Dark Arts. -You can mule a Templar for Ele prolif / Rolling Magma to ease gem pressure early. (fresh start shadow needs a lot of wisdoms/transmutes) NORMAL LAB WILL BE THE NEW NODE "Shrapnel Specialist" -This is basically Nimis ring for Rolling Magma. -All we really care about is the projectiles go in random directions. (the Return Projectile is basically +1 chain, which is alright but mostly about the other part) -This causes Rolling Magma to overlap much better on single target and clear, because instead of a straight line, it bounces back and forth and it can hit every bounce. -You can opt to go for "BORN IN SHADOWS" for HC if you want, it's one of the best defensive nodes in the game, personally I will take it from Cruel Lab though. THE MINE SWAP 31+ -At 31, and after you grab Normal Lab you can swap to Mines, ideally you want a 4-link, either 3B1G or 4B -The most important links are High Impact and Charged Mines. The 4th link can be Volley until level 38, then you switch to Minefield when you can. -Make sure you grab Automation and Detonate Mines from Library as well. DROPPING DARK ARTS -Whenever you find a good shield and better weapon, consider dropping Dark Arts and going Shield Charge instead. (likely around Act 6+) IF YOU EVER HAVE ISSUES WITH MANA YOU CAN TAKE ELDRITCH BATTERY (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ES ON GEAR SOMEWHERE) -Ideally endgame you run two -mana cost rings, that combined with some reduced mana cost should be enough to drop EB -Likely will have to use a MANA FLASK throughout the campaign, once you get Dreamer, should be enough to drop. CRUEL LAB WILL BE BORN IN SHADOWS (or Shrapnel Specialist if you took it first) MERC LAB CAN BE EITHER BOMB SPECIALIST OR DEMOLITION SPECIALIST - UBER LAB SHOULD BE PYROMANIAC BUT BOMB SPECIALIST IS BETTER EARLY PREPARING FOR MAPS -You'll want to start getting Suppression nodes and more %HP -If you are playing on SC you can start looking into going for the Crit nodes -Dexterity might be an issue, keep an eye out for dex gear, possibly take the +30 dex node. -Can add in Arctic Armor if mana allows -MAKE SURE YOU GET 2% CDR ON A JEWEL FOR SERVER TICK RATE ON DETONATE MINES (also 20/20 Automation and 1/20 Detonate Mines are important) -There is a 2nd breakpoint at 22% cdr (this requires 20% cdr belt or a combination of belt/jewel/boot implicit) -GOOD ANOINTS ARE FRENZY CHARGE, DISCIPLE OF UNYIELDING, ADJACENT ANIMOSITY OR BEACON OF HOPE (80% AOE, PROBABLY BIS ENDGAME) / Might need Suppression annoint with cluster set-up **KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ESSENCE OF ZEAL TO THROW ON BELTS** (this gives Mine Throw speed which is super important for both QoL and damage) UNIQUES TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR -Elevore for early suppression / sustain -Lightning Coil or Cloak of Flames are good for Physical Mitigation -Kongmings shield is good for Spell damage Mitigation -Gloomfang is a good DPS option early on -Dying Sun could be OK flask option, though bad uptime -Sandstorm Visage / Prophecy Wand could be endgame set-up for cap crit -Anathema with multi curse could also be very strong option -Enmity's Embrace is super OP new ring (likely really rare chase item) -Replica Dragonflight with +3 to Rolling Magma will be hard to beat for Amulet, Ashes could be interesting as well, or +level multi rare amulet **KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR +2 CHAIN GLOVE MOD FROM MERCENARIES** -Might be rare/high level maps/unknown SLOW PROJECTILES / LESS PROJECTILE SPEED IS GOOD FOR OVERLAPPING SINGLE TARGET, BUT BAD FOR CLEAR (you can swap in Faster Projectiles or Trap and Mine if you'd like instead, or just use Fire Pen for both)
