Howdy!
I was looking for an excuse to play with Power Siphon this league since I always end up going for KB instead and figured mines would give me a good reason to not use Kinetic Blast. Took a bit of work to get the damage high enough but I'm happy with where it ended up. Went for power charge stacking + precursor's emblems to get enough base flat, then scaled those charges as hard as I could. Figured I'd share in case anyone found it interesting or had some feedback.

Pros:
- Smooth to play, Power Siphon's auto targeting plus very high throwing speed work wonders.
- Respectable single target, without a +1 PWC helm or enchant I can hit about 1.8 million dmg per mine if all barrage projectiles hit.
- Explosions! Cluster notable "Explosive Force" works with mines.
- 100% crit chance. Never die to porcupine packs that you didn't freeze because you didn't crit that one mine
.- Off meta. Not that it means anything but I like it.
Cons:
- PITA to res cap, only 3 rares in the build.
- Ramp up time, pitiful damage at start of map when you have no charges.
- Good Precursors are unicorns. You can't just buy them whenever you want.
- Squishy. Leech + Bonus Recovery rate won't always save a build with only 8k EV and 4.6k ES.
Stay sane exiles!
