Hexblast Mines Saboteur Life Stack Build Guide

Gear Crafting Basic Steps: Wand -> Fractured Multi iLvl 55-82 -> Three socket Fossil(metallic+shuddering+corroded) 1/12 on avg to hit 6 mods(aka +2) -> anul empty suffix benchcraft throw speed or do prefix can't be changed + veil(block dot multi) unveil -> benchcraft Starter Boots -> Delirium Essence fractured life boots until decent str -> benchcraft movespeed or do bristle matron + veil to get move speed good boots -> glyphic+hollow+fundamental+sanctified -> high str + abyss socket + cannot be poison -> socket bleed avoid jewel with corrupt blood immune(this allows you to save 4 points on bleed avoid wheel) -> get pen enchant for max dps Decent Amulet -> Fractured all attribute -> rage/scorn essence till str+multi+all attribute suffix -> suffixes can't be changed reforge chaos(guaranteed +1 chaos) -> craft life Ele weakness ring craft -> spam reforge caster on hunter ilvl82+ until weakness on hit + some decent suffixes or good life roll then benchcraft good affix Gloves -> Eventually get ele weakness Kaom's gloves then replace weakness ring with another good ring Good Ring: Fractured life + scorn essence till solid affixes + benchcraft (eventually upgrade to synth str mod ring and consider kalandra ring if you make a really GG ring) Belt: Magnate First Then -> Synth str% belt + Zeal essence till good str and okay res -> benchcraft life(this can obviously be min-maxed more, do so at your own cost/risk)(Yes mageblood will work for eventual min-maxing, im not your babysitter, if you can afford a mageblood you can figure out how to use it) Helmet: Use gull until you can afford sandstorm, with gull you need inc crit strikes as support until you get sandstorm(yes I did 83 sanctums with gull, its solid, yes sandstorm is like 30-40% more damage) Body armour: I recommend Blunderbore, but if you find a good +2 belly or really well crafted rare chest, those will do well. Coloring Blunderbore -> Off color 3/4 sockets then vorici /Omen of blanching / Tainted chromes after corrupted/ 6socket -> double corrupt for six whites, then tainted fuse Blunderbore is not mandatory, just a very high life chest that is common and cheaply corrupted that comes with aoe, if you would prefer no knockback it can be replaced. Rare Jewel: Get A fractured(mine throw speed/Crit multi/multi with spell/%life -> reforge life/crit/speed or use deft+prist fossils on jewels) IF the fractures get obstructively expensive settle for buying 2 mod jewels off trade as that should still be strong enough to be worth using. Unique Jewels: Min-maxing Split personalities with life/str are solid As well as Rational Doctrine for curse reduction and better berserk uptime. MANDATORY to start build: Rathpith / Dissolution / Brutal Restraint + Res Flasks setup correctly BANDITS USE ALIRA until overcapped res with jewel/gear/flask pieces(my build has one jewel with some res and 15 fire res on belt that allows me to drop alira) PANTEHON: Use Abberath always(burn ground is very bad for dissolution builds) / Brine King until you make GG boots with chill and freeze immune on prefixes(then use solaris IMO) Dissolution TLDR: Red life = resource Reserved Gray life = DEAD -> Duck away from fights or dodge for 2 second window to unreserve life. 2 second window of not taking damage = all reserved life unreserved damage dealt to you reserves life instead of taking away from red life pool. ETERNAL YOUTH: MANDATORY to sustain our life pool to as resource to throw mines, regen is being used for rage gen, recharge via eternalyouth is for life sustain as a resource pool. I DO NOT RECOMMEND LEVELING AS THIS CHARACTER, you can swap at lvl 70 to it when you have mandatory pieces like rathpith, before then you will deal no damage. Some Thoughts: I believe the best version of this build is probably a scion just because scion can much more effectively life stack, probably using guardian+pathfinder(this allows for lethal pride use instead of brutal restraint). That being said the tree would look quite a bit different and I am not trying to relevel and remake the build just because I believe in theory scion might be stronger, test at your own risk :) -Explosive experts -> with void manipulation we do not apply ignite so we need ignite from cwdt WoC, as for chill I am not sure, the wiki states frozen enemies count as "chilled" which may work for 10 pen but I am not sure as I do not recall seeing the chill icon on enemies, so I included spite glove enchant which places chilled ground for the 10 pen.
