Why Cov. to Fire?
1. I became a bit famous in my country by no intention, and everytime I upload cheap version of my build, price goes immediately high so fast. I hate this, and I always think a good build is a cheap one. By converting lightning to fire, you can use all elemental spell wand/scepter to get almost same dps. With new Catalysis, you can have up to 48% conversion from both pyre and call of brothers and plus avatar of fire gives you 50% conv, total 98% of your cold, lightning damage converts to fire. This means that you can look for not only lightning related mods but also fire, cold to boost your dps, saving currencies for dumb shitty weapons.
2. Great for survivability. As you know, mines have no mechanics to avoid corpse related things such as explosion, needles from hoazer...etc 100%. Thanks to fire coverted damage + combustion + pyre, you are now free from corpse related one-shot kill.
Leveling Guide
Since icicle mine is very convenient and fast in clearing acts, you will use it until the end of all acts and you reach lvl 70 to change gear and gem setting for my build.
Also, for maximum speed, those who do Ice Shot Miner will spend refund passive point and a few orb of regret if needed after you reach lvl 70. (Don't worry about Refund Passive Points because you will naturally get about 10 points and more than 10 orb of regrets while clearing acts. You don't need to do extra quests for that.
Finally, you will ignore all other quests except for main quests and Lynth. trial quests for ascendancy until you finish clearing all acts. It's faster and safer to do quests that give you skill points and for ascendancy when you are in higher lvl. Clearing act with icicle mine does not require extra buff from ascendancy passive skills because it is strong enough.
Act 1
1. Receive Storm Blast Mine from Nessa for the reward of killing Hilcok
2. Start clearing MAIN quests until you reach lvl 8. Don't forget to pick up items with 3 links.
3. When you reach lvl 8, find any 3 link wand, scepter or any items (either from vendor or from drops) with 3 links and put Storm Blast Mine as follows:
Storm Blast Mine - Added Lightning Damage Support - Swift Assembly
Defense Items: Just pick up drops with high hp and res and wear them. What is important here is weapon. Don't worry about defense gear.
Unique Defense Items that help: 
Goldrim, Leather Cap, 
Tabula Rasa, Simple Robe, 
Lochtonial Caress, Iron Gauntlets, 
Wanderlust, Wool Shoes, 
Lifesprig, Driftwood Wand
4. Get Quicksilver Flask from drops (or Mercy Mission Quest reward) and Flame Dash (Quest Reward: The Caged Brute, or buy it from Nessa after the CB quest) This will boost up your moving speed.
5. Passive Tree
Act 2 - 5
1. When you are done with Act 1, go back to Nessa in Act 1 and get icicle mine for reward. Change Gem setting as follows:
3L: Icicle Mine - Swift Assembly - Trap and Mine Damage Support
If you have 4L item,
4L: Icicle Mine - Swift Assembly - Trap and Mine Damage Support - Pierce
If you are rich enough to have Tabula,
6L : Icicle Mine - Swift Assembly - Trap and Mine Damage Support - Pierce - Added Cold Damage Support - Hypothermia
Required Gem Setting other than Icicle Mine:
Summoning Skitter Bots and Herald of Ice (Act2, Intruders in Black Quest reward and verdor)
Other gems you should be equipped with for final BL, FB, or Ice Shot Miner:
Refer to "Gear" above and check the gems required.As you clear acts, check vendors or pick up those when dropped and be equipped with them in empty socket. Then, you will save time lvling up those gems later when you change your setting to one of my builds.
2. As you clear acts, keep upgrading weapons(wand/scepter) with following mods:
% Increased Spell Damage
Add # to # Cold Damage to Spells
% increased Critical Chance for Spells
% Increased Cold Damage
(The more number of mods and higher number of each mod it has, the better dps it generates)
Defense Gear:
Don't worry too much about it. Just get high hp and res ones. Without those, you can still clear act 2 - 5 fast.
Flask:
If the following flasks get dropped, pick it up and get the required mod on it by using orb of alternation:
Diamond Flask (mod: immune to freeze)
Sulphur Flask (mod: immune to curse)
(the mods do not have to be on the flask listed. Just make sure you have those two mods in any of two flasks you use. Also, you might not get the mod easily by rolling one or twice. In Act 2 - 5, it is not urgent to have those flasks. Just check drops and roll when you think plenty of orb of alternation. You can also buy them from trade if you cannot stand freeze and curse.)
3. Passive
Act 6
1. Now you need to care about defense gear a bit. Check your resistance number and get fire/cold/lightning resistance near 75% maximum + high hp from your defense gear.
2. Talk to Lilly and do her quest. You will be able to buy all gems in poe from Lilly after getting reward from her. Buy all gems needed for one of Durimon's Miner builds you would like to play later and lvl up while you do act 6 - 10.
3. Buy Immortal Call and Cast When Damage Taken from Lilly and put them in linked sockets. This will help you survive.
4. Do not forget to upgrade your weapons when you feel a bit slow. The higher dps you have, the faster you clear all acts.
5. Passive:
Act 7 - 10
1. You definitely need a mod on your life flask:
Immune to bleeding
Either roll it or buy it from trade for safer run.
2. Flask Setting:
Life Flask, Mana Flask, Diamond Flask, Sulphur Flask, Bismuth Flask (assuming that you are lazy changing gear with high res. :) )
3. Sorry to repeat, for faster act clearing, don't forget to upgrade your rare wand/scepter with the mods I listed above.
4. Passive:
https://ibb.co/hyYR6hh (for BL and FB Miner)
For Ice Shot Miner, it would be better to get the build nodes to save refund passive point if you don't be bothered by a bit slower clear speed.)
