In Delve, I wanted to create a build centered around the new miner helmet, Curtain Call. Most people assumed this low level supporter unique was garbage, but turns out with the right build it's pretty fuckin' strong.
This helmet lets you place up to two additional mines at once if you have at least 500 intelligence and 500 dexterity, and also gives a nice boost to mine arming speed (which is normally only available from the Saboteur ascendancy). Placing two extra mines allows you to drop minefield support entirely, gaining an extra support gem and avoiding a 36% less damage mod and large mana multiplier on the normally mandatory minefield support. As a result, this helm ends up giving something like 80-100% more damage assuming you hit the stat breakpoints.
Getting 500 int and dex is pretty tough for most builds, and you lose out on a lot of potential damage and defense unless you specifically build around stat stacking. For this build, I utilize Hyrri's Demise quiver, which adds a ton of flat elemental damage from stats, as well as Shaper's Touch gloves, which gives us a fat chunk of life from our high Dex, all the accuracy we need from our high Int, and also gives a bunch of mana from our strength. Cyclopean Coil belt helps scale all our attributes, gives around 60% increased damage, and makes us immune to freeze and shock.
As a Scion Deadeye/Saboteur Ascendant we get +1 arrows and +2 pierce, 100% increased accuracy, blind on hit, no extra bleed damage while moving, up to 20% life regen from detonating mines, some elemental penetration, and a bunch of stats from our ascendancy. It also lets us make good use of the Pure Talent jewel for +25 all attributes and 7% increased movement speed. All of this is excellent for our build.
Overall, this build turned out to be WAY stronger than I ever expected. In fact, it's easily the strongest build I've ever played. With good gear (nothing even remotely mirror-tier required) it can reach 4-5 million shaper DPS while still having excellent clearspeed. So... actually not that garbage.
