Regex to check vendors: b-b-b|b-[bg]-g|g-[bg]-b|b-g-b|g-b-g|nne (show BBB and BBG or BGG and 10% ms boots, if you want to see something else make your own regex at poe.re)

Normal Lab: One Step Ahead


Level 28 until swap
Pyroclast Mine + Swift Assembly + Elemental Focus + Charged Mines (after Cruel Lab - Swift Killer, use Minefield instead of Swift Assembly, it feels a lot better)
Flame Dash
Bear Trap
Skitterbots
Grace (once you get Mind Drinker and the reservation mastery there)
Flammability
Wave of Conviction + Combustion

At level 38, you can and should use a 4link with Arcanist Brand + Flammability + Wave of Conviction + Combustion

Hexblast Swap

You NEED curse on hit - most common source will be Dreadarc at this point, alternatives are any corrupted gloves with a curse (prefereably Elemental Weakness) or a rare ring with curse on hit Flammability/Frostbitte/Conductivity or Elemental Weakness
Mark of Submissions DOESN'T WORK

We will be running Blasphemy + Elemental Weakness (Flammability if you have Elemental Weakness gloves or ring) until Profane Proxy (then switch to Skitterbots)

Mana balancing
When active mines are set to 18 or 20 (that's our max mine limit, 18 without Saboteur node), we still need enough to throw our Hexblast mines once

Try to get clusters into the build as soon as possible, they are extemely good 
Chaos damage is better than spell damage for large clusters but it is going to be way more expensive and spell damage cluster is good enough
Trap and Mine damage medium cluster (4 or 5 passives) - any ilvl above 50 - reforge crit to craft it, the goal is to hit Surprise Sabotage + Guerilla Tactics (around 4 reforges on average)

Hexblast + Blastchain Mine + Charged Mines + Minefield + Increased Critical Strikes + (Void Manipulation if you get early 6link)
Automation + Detonate Mines
Shield Charge + Faster Attacks
Urgent Orders + Enduring Cry (Battlemage's Cry before shaper/hunter chest for base crit)
Flame Dash
Blasphemy + Elemental Weakness
Grace
Spell Totem + Wither + Multitotem + Faster Casting
Bear Trap (can be kept at level 1)
Withering Step


If you have more questions after this or something isn't working, please watch the guide, it should have most questions answered.

Wand
fractured ilvl 82 or below with either fractured Spell Damage or Increased Ctitical Strike Chance
use 3 fossil resonator: Corroded + Metalic + Shuddering -> when you hit 6 mod (12 fossils avg) prefixes are going to always be good (+2 and spell damage), if suffixes are bad we try to annul -> if hit suffix, craft prefix can't be changed -> reforge crit (or veiled orb depending on their price)

Shield
get a pure ES (ideally with 10% or 15% spell damage implicit) with fractured spell damage
spam Scorn essence until either 3 good suffixes or 2 and 1 empty ->  craft suffixes can't be changed -> reforge chaos (guaranteed +1 chaos if 3 suffixes, most likely chaos res if 2 suffixes, then suffix can't be changed again -> reforge chaos again for +1)

Amulet 
get fractured all attributes (easier to craft) or high life (slightly better end results)
spam Scorn essence until 3 good suffixes -> craft suffixes can't be changed -> reforge chaos (guaranteed +1 chaos)

Belt
Zeal essence

Clusters
Large chaos - Aberrant fossils / reforge chaos
Medium Trap & Mine - reforge crit
