Level 96 Crit Hexblast Mine Saboteur^3.22

Notes

Use timeless jewel brutal restraint + 3 flask tech for sudo mageblood; use flasks to cap res, crit, etc. 
For sanctum always use a topaz if you cannot 1 phase Uber Lyceia and have to do the dodging phase. 
Flasks need to have % reduced charges per use to go infinite

Use jewel sockets to get life/damage. If all reqs are met find jewels with any of the following affixes. Use tattoos to get stat requirements
    - global crit multi %
	- % mine throw speed
	- % spell damage
	-% crit multi for spell damage
	-% max life
	-% increased mine damage
Use pob trade feature to just look for the best jewel in your price range.

Frostbite Vs Flammability: Flammability is more damage via consistent ignite chance to proc ascendancy (40% crit multi vs burning enemies) , frostbite is to more consistently freeze mobs. I'd go with flammability until you can reliably one shot bosses without it then go frostbite. Your hits should always freeze guards regardless of curse.

Neck craft:
Fractured all attribute -> rage/scorn essence till str+multi+all attribute suffix -> suffixes can't be changed reforge chaos(guaranteed +1 chaos) -> craft life


Chest Q&A:
Data shown below, best chest w/ no empower is covenant, best chest w/ empower is obv diallas. Price range for corrupts listed below. 
Based on this data I would wear a belly of the beast +2 aoe gems as it  is the cheapest for the most dps.

Chest data (Starter tree no clusters) | (Starter tree clusters)
Blunderbore -> 3.5m dps | 6.6m dps
Belly -> 3.2m dps | 6.3m dps
Covenant -> 4.6m dps | 8.8m dps
Skin of the lords -> 3.9m dps (+1 passive point saved from blood magic/eternal youth) | 7.6m dps
Diallas ->  6.3m dps (need empower 4 for this number ->3d cost) | 11.6m dps

Chest data +1 socketed gems (Starter Tree Clusters)
Blunderbore -> 7.6m dps (3 d + price as of writing this)
Belly -> 7.2m dps (50c + price as of writing this)
Covenant -> 9.8m dps (8 d + price as of writing this)
Diallas ->  12.9 m dps (80 d + price as of writing this)

Chest data +2 aoe gems (Starter Tree Clusters)
Blunderbore -> 8.4m dps (8 d + price as of writing this)
Belly -> 8m dps (1d + price as of writing this)
Covenant -> 10.5m dps   (40 d + price as of writing this)
Diallas ->  12.9m dps (65 d + price as of writing this)

+3 gems (above 2 corrupts duo corrupt)
Icetomb (can be any random chest) -> 8.9m dps , trade link found https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/em35jYoSL 

Other useful corrupts to look for +2 trap/mine gems. Won't net as much dps gain as +1 socketed gems as hexblast level is the most important.

+3 (above 2 corrupts duo corrupt) price list
Blunderbore -> 2 mirror xdd
Belly -> 1 mirror xdd
Covenant -> 190 d
Diallas ->  N/A


Clusters are important and probs prio upgrade 
Gems: Use awakened fire pen until diallas where you will swap to empower for awakened fire pen

AG Setup:
Budget
	eye of malice helm , legacy of fury boots (reduces enemy cold res to -90% with eye of malice combo), southbound gloves (life) or unnerve on hit gloves (dmg), gruthkuls pelt (chest) . combo can be explained on https://youtu.be/nZMgCrJMgwU?t=418 explaining his hexblast no hit build 
	dying breath for budget weapon, kingmaker bis



Starter Gear Ideals:
wand : lolcohol craft ; +1 all skill, +1 chaos , crit chance or crit chance for spells , crit multi , spell damage , craft either crit multi to rares or mine throwing speed. you want a sage/prophecy or omen wand for the 8% crit chance baseline. 

helm: sandstorm visage farm yourself. if you want one with enchant theres a ton of good ones hexblast dmg% one actually sucks. go for skitterbots reservation efficiency, ele weakness curse effect ,frostbite/flammability curse effect

shield: rathpith, if you want +2 aoe gems for auras; +1 socketed gems; 5% max life corrupts are all okay but none necessary and idk price

body armour: above data

gloves: just buy a kaoms with ele weakness curse on hit so your ring1 doesnt have to be curse on hit

ring 1: frac life + scorn essence, u want to fix ur attributes with ring suffixes. if attributes are fine res/chaos res is okay. no prefixs matter since frac life

ring 2: profane proxy or a duplicate of ring 1

neck: have to pob yourself. marleyens fallacy is a huge crit multi% but if your crit chance isnt high enough to afford the -40% crit chance you just make a +1 chaos and cirt multi% neck. if you can get a neck with +1 curse corrupt you can annoint heart of darkness or fervor instead of whispers of doom

belt: magnate good budget option for strength + res , rare synth belth with 18% strength if u want to go this route spam zeal essence into strength hit or life hit then bench craft other

boot: life, movespeed, strength. if you can get boots with these enchants good -> 10% ms if youve killed recently or crit chance if you havent crit recently if ur crit is not capped neither necessary. kaom roots with movespeed implicit corrupt  if u dont want to craft and dont need gem sockets (no ag)

mandatory jewels:
	dissolution , just get a 29% for 1d can lower if u need a cheaper jewel
	brutal restraint, need to have for 3 flask mageblood effect
	
Cluster Jewel setup:
large 8 passive cluster: want % chaos damage enchant , 35% increased effect. Life, chaos res, strength, res, etc. are nice but NOT necessary. 

Medium Cluster Jewel:
4 or 5 passive doesnt matter. you need expert sabotage + guerilal tactics. link below. 
surprise sabotage over expert sabotage is on pob more damage and could be technically better. i think expert sabotage mine detonation speed far outweighs this but I also one shot every mob and boss in sanctum. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/dPvqQeRIJ trade link for surprise sabotage here.

Forbidden Flesh/Flame combo:
Best options are , both are competitive in damage swift killer is more on my pob , polymath may be just as good or better for others
	swift killer (+2 frenzy charges) -> 13-15 div
	polymath (3% dmg per mastery, 1% life on kill) -> 15/16 div 
	
Budget options are, two jewels may just be better than these f/f combos
	one step ahead (108% action speed, 92% mob action speed) -> if you are chill immune this is useless. could be useful in sanctum but imho two jewels would just be better -> 2 div
	unstable infusion (+1 power charge, power charge gain) -> if u need more power charges to cap crit chance, more useful with hyperminmaxed non sandstorm setup -> 2 div , crit chance jewels may just be better if jewels can even roll crit chance ive been crit capped forever so no clue

Flask Setup (3 flasks)
Never ran this jewel bc mageblood but if i had to I'd run topaz (or bismuth if you cant cap res), diamond, quicksilver
Suffixes would be crit chance % , ele res % , move speed % . Regen % life during effect is very pog as well if you can cap crit chance without flasks for berserk uptime 


upgrades:
+3 chest. can be any i ran icetomb for a longtime which does literally nothing but the +3 chest was only 20d. bis base is diallas but obviously super expensive. covenant second best base, belly of beast is okay
impossible escape ghost reaver: can be a dps upgrade if it saves u a lot of points

wand upgrade, jewel upgrades were most of my dps increase 
possible unique jewel upgrades :
 split personality +5 health , +5 strength ( weren't upgrades for me could be for you)
 grand spectrum max % life, with three of them theyre each +15% life but were so minimal upgrades for me over my current life, crit multi jewels I didn't bother


tattoo:
% life tattoos are techinically bis, i just cant be bothered to buy them but they are an upgrade avenue

Important Notes:
You do not apply burning with void manipulation. It either has to come from skitterbots infernal legion or the captain lance setup of wave of conviction cwdt (b-r) link
Frozen enemies are counted as chilled so the chilling aspect doesn't matter if you choose no skitterbots version.
No skitterbot version you need to run blasphemy setup (flammability/frostbite + awakened blasphemey) which is fine
