[3.1] Elementalist - Balls of Lava /low budget, non crit/ - Shaper/Atziri viable
|
Introduction:
This is my first Shaper capable build I made on my own - which was the goal. It is fairly defensive Elementalist Witch which is using Molten Strike as primary attack. It has pretty decent clearspeed and melts most of the bosses in game like nothing even tho it is non crit build. I find it really fun to play. Also this build can do every map mod EXCEPT no leech. I would consider this build beginner friendly.  ==================================================================================================== Budget/items It is a fairly budget build, here is the list of uniques I use in the final build: Belly of the Beast

You need 6 link, the only expensive item in this buuild.really nice for defense and overcapping your resistances, I did every map in the game (except Shaper's Realm) with Tabula Rasa.
Chernobog's Pillar

Fairly good defensive and offensive shield - costs almost nothing.
Grelwood Shank

Awesome sword for Molten Strike - gives us accuracy, additional projectiles, Point Blank for free and loads of armor while stationary, which allows us to facetank a most of the things. Good roll costs like 2-3 c.
Tombfist gloves

attack speed, jewel slot, %life - costs almost nothing (with one socket) even with a good roll
Wildfire jewels
Скрытый текст
no brainer choice for Molten Strike - cost around 1-2 c each
Cyclopean Coil
Скрытый текст
with balanced stats - Dex > int > Str this is shock and freeze immunity and loads of damage. Downside is no resistances. Drops from Elder and costs nothing.
Atziri's Promise
Скрытый текст
damage and chaos resistance - the latter we dont have at all, so it comes really handy
OPTIONAL - Anima Stone
Скрытый текст
quite expensive (50 c)- I simply like having 3 golems and Ice Golem provides us with some crit and accuracy (proccing Ele Overload more reliably). Can be replaced with life/resist/damage jewel.
Rares:
Скрытый текст
I use rare Helmet with accuracy, life and resistances, amulet and rings with some damage, resistance, life and stats(to balance Cyclopean Coil), rare boots with life and movement speed. None of that costs more then 10c I think.
Also USE 1 Abyss Jewel with 6% blind on hit, life and flat ele damage. Helps you with survivability a LOT!!! ==================================================================================================== Gem Links Helmet

==================================================================================================== Skilltree: Final tree I am using - http://poeurl.com/bKZx How to fuck around the skill tree:
Скрытый текст
1. Rush for Elemental Overload
2. Dive into the templar area, grab Devotion, Elementalist and Catalyse notables there 3. Go for the scion life wheel, grab the jewel on your way and put Wildifre in it. 4. Go down to Marauder for Heart of the Warrior notable 5. Get the resistances under scion and jewel slot, put 2nd Wildfire in it 6. Down under the ranger, pick Thick Skin, Primeval Force, Herbalism and Brutal Blade notables 7. Take Vitality Void under Vaal Pact + the 1 node which gives you mana and life leech 8. Take Vaal Pact notable 9. Take Profane Chemistry notable + the jewel slot under it + pick the Jewel Slot left to Elementalist notable, slap a gem of your choice there (mine was Anima Stone) 10. Go for Brawery and Fury Bolts notables (under duelist) 11. Take Versatility and Precision notables 12. Get Heart And Soul notable above Witch starting point 13. Grab the rest of the life nodes which are directly connected to your path. ==================================================================================================== Asendancy: Normal lab - Pendulum of Destruction - increases damage throughoutput Cruel Lab - I picked Mastermind of Discord for elemental penetration, use Wild Strike to proc it Merc lab - Liege of the Primordial - Extra golem - was using Lightning and Ice Golem until I got Anima Stone Über - Paragon of Calamity - lots of survivability, occasional damage increase, allows you to do those pesky reflect meeps ==================================================================================================== My Gear and Stats: Check it in Path of Building - https://pastebin.com/ut4LExYt or here - character BallsOvLava https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Grimbold/characters ==================================================================================================== Playstyle: Clearing maps - it is just shield charging from one pack to another, doing 1-3 Molten Strikes and fuck off to next pack. It is not fastest map clearer, but it is fairly fast. I almost never use Wild Strike to proc Mastermind of Discord while clearing maps, unless its a resist map with a resist mod, everything dies so fast, its not worth casting between Molten Strikes. Killing bosses - it comes down if you can stand a bit away from boss, or you have to stay in melee like on shaper(cos of his frostbolts). Also you have to consider if the boss is spawning lot of adds and shit like that. 1.bosses you dont need to stay on top of him or have lots of adds - use Ancestral Call, let yourself have a distance so you can abuse AC, proc penetration with Wild Strike every 10 seconds and just melt the boss 2.bosses without adds or bosses you need to stay on top of them - proc pene with Wild Strike, facetank boss ==================================================================================================== Map viability: Thanks to Paragon of Calamity and notable Primeval Force, you can easily do maps with ele reflect - just swap to Soul of Yugul for those and you wont even realise there is a reflect. The only map this build cannot do is no leech. Vulnerability and Temp Chains maps are nasty - I recommend putting Blood Rage for these out. ==================================================================================================== Videos: Red Map Elder - https://youtu.be/G5anFc4rMdE ==================================================================================================== Special thanks Thanks to TheKingOfPotatoPeople for helping me with polishing the tree and Sarevokcz for constant supply of meeps :-D ==================================================================================================== I hope at least someone will like the guide. I am opened to any suggestions how to make this character better. :) Последняя редакция: Grimbold. Время: 30 янв. 2018 г., 13:06:29 Last bumped10 февр. 2018 г., 10:44:27
