Locus Mine Enjoyers & Theorycrafters - ASSEMBLE!

Hey guys, been trying to cook a league starter, honestly been kinda overwhelmed with options (trauma, locus mine, spellblade, etc), but I finally settled with the masterrace new support**, Locus Mine Support and Explosive Arrow.**

For those who doesn't know what it does:

The ascendancy of choice for me is Deadeye (assassin could work?), basically with Deadeye Endless Munition, we get (3 x 0.7 = 2~ proj for each mine). Mark effect is really good, Tailwind helps with the zooms and also helps the throwing speed. Far Shot can be a lot of damage depending on your positioning against bosses (throwing mines far from you and running behind the boss).

The ascendancy of choice also for me has some bias because I'll transition to an MF setup in time.

In my mind, I picture this as a boss fight in ideal scenario, of course this won't happen most of the time, but will get a feel once I test it in game.

Throw the mines to the right side and run near the boss, leaving him between you and the projectiles from the mines flying towards you.

Now the important juice, the PoB (barebones): https://pobb.in/GDPy6JA_u6Lf

Keep in mind this things before checking the PoB:

- I never played EA before, but I believe getting 20 fuses if fairly achievable on bosses due to the sheer amount of projectiles and the targeting mechanic of the support.

- My math can be very wrong, but with 5.8 throwings per second, and 3 mines per throw, that's 17.4 mines. so I believe detonating speed can be a big factor due to how many mines we can explode really quickly. Keep in mind that this is on a 4 link without swift assembly.

- The gear is just placeholder, I didn't put many items, mostly the tree and checking the damage with Widowhail, which seems to be one of the best options with a quiver crafted with few essences. I don't really know the rarity of Widowhail so keep that in mind.

- The gear should be achievable by day 1-2, by gear I mean the bow, the tabula and the quiver. The Tree is highly experimental, I'm open to feedback about it!, the whole point of this thread!

- That being said, I believe this have ridiculous potential, even with low gear requirements, as a bow skill you can easily generate powers and frenzies with manaforge (I believe), so still can use charged mines, and minefield is not completely needed so one more free link (I did read this in the other thread).

- The damage doesn't really reflect the real picture because, Locus Mine doesn't have DD, but also has less damage penalty.

Sorry if this was too long, if you have any ideas, pobs, please let us know below!, ty and happy league start!
