[3.5] Ele Thickk - Super Tanky Ele Hit - Uber Elder Deathless -No Xoph's -No Frostferno - Videos Up

I used the leveling tree like he started it, with avatar of fire and resolute technique, used blackgleam and doomfletch (both 1c). As skill I used rain of arrows + mirage archer + elemental damage + ele focus or combustion as 4th link. Also I used iron grip as it upped my damage for roa significantly.

The leveling tree might not be the best and you will struggle in some of the later incursions, but overall it worked well enough for me, also do not use blood magic till you use ele hit, RoA with doomfletch takes good advantage of HoA + Anger.

Also a possibility once you have at least one jewel (i got the one that removes cold first) is to spec out of AoF and into EE.

My tree looked something like this before I switched to ele hit:


Also another thing, it gets easier once you have done cruel lab and have the slayer overleech, culling strike and so on.

So I fell for the noob trap that is your partial leveling tree - picked up Avatar of Fire - and damage drops like a rock...

So I switched over to totem + conc effect + controlled dest + Firestorm for 1 spell and then Explosive Trap + multi trap + trap/mine dam + cont dest.

It seems HIGHLY FORCED and very inefficient.


Does anyone have an actual "start of league leveling build" for this spec? Without the 2x jewels to activate the build I'm not sure if this build is really valid...

Would love to see other people's solutions to this issue that are way more efficient than my set up now.

Yeah, I don't get that tree either. It is fine if you have all the gear, but as a league starter it is extremely bad.

I did this:

But I may not be the right person to ask, because I ran into some serious problems at the end 40'ies, and now at level 53 playing the game is just painful.
I am playing with RoA, damage is abysmal, and I have no mitigation. Not sure what I need to do differently (I normally do spell builds, so I really have no clue why I can't make this work).

I tried this build as a flashback starter and the damage on lvling with RoA fell off around lvl 35 so I switched out to Ele Hit - Mirage Archer - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Elemental Focus - GMP on a 5L swapping out GMP for Faster Attacks for bosses. If you have a 6L you can add slower projectiles as well. I also took Elemental Equilibrium and bought the cheaper cannot deal fire damage combat focus jewel so that EE will proc every hit since Ele Hit alternates between elemental attacks which adds around 40% dmg. The damage isn't that great but I went into maps with around 9k GMP dps on the in-game tooltip on a 6L bow which should be enough dps to be able to farm for the more expensive combat focus jewels. You definitely don't want to use Avatar of Fire until you are fully fire converted. My tree was something like this early on.

If you have both EH jewel and the rings (pyre and call of the brotherhood), you can get avatar of fire and resolute technique fast and blow shit up so fast.

Prior to that, or if you dont have the jewel, dont go EH, it is horrid without proper gear.

If you insist on starting as this build, you can run burning arrow with elemental proliferation and play it like a dot build (like essence drain). I find this to be the best and fastest way to lvl provided you keep your gear updated.

just got back from trip heard ppl having trouble with the dmg prior to jewels, I plan on doing something similar to this -- https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/3.3.1/AAAABAABAQDBAdECXwOWBS0FtQX5CGcPqxGBFHUWvxg8GFYc3CPTI_YmlSj6KjgqWzBxMHw1kjY9N9Q6QjrhOyhBh0MxRCVHfkkPSn1LeEz_TZJN404qUUdS7FVLVkhW-luvXzlgQ2DeYeJh62KsY6dlTWegbIxtbG49byd07XXLd9d59npTeu9_K4LHgwmEU4d2ivCMNo19jX6NuY2_jxqPYJM6lwaYrZpqmyabLZ2qoSKiQKQMpMKmV6cIp9Sou6_rsKuxfLTFtz63triTvSe9Nr6AvqfC7MPmxILEos961CPXLdgk2GDYvdrB3UbdqOOf6NbqYuvu7T_ukO_98kX0-Pd9-ej9bv4K_o_-yA==?accountName=PoEDan79&characterName=DanEZhit

For those having some issues transitioning into Elehit (such as entering maps) without the threshold jewels, here's the tree I used:



Note that I am a very experienced player, and yet I still struggled with this build into early map transitioning. It should really be noted, strongly, that this is NOT a good league starter build - it CAN work with some adjustments, but in reality, is EXTREMELY weak without the threshold jewels. I would NOT suggest this build to newer players, or those who may not fully understand the game mechanics.

Many other builds will simply perform better in defense/offense when entering maps, on small budgets.

For a rough reference, as soon as I completed Act10 (I leveled entirely as SUNDER - just like most do) - I switched to Elehit.

I was using a 210PDS axe I bought for 2c, alongside a tempestrous steel offhand for 2c, and was outputting around 12K tooltip DPS.

I bought a Quill Rain (1c) and a Chin Sol (14c), grabbed a level20 corrupted Elehit, and most other gems lvl15+. Picked up some good rings/belt with %elemental damage... despite all this investment, my tooltip DPS dropped from 12K (Sunder) to about 8K (elehit).

I know "tooltip" dps doesn't account for much... but I definitely felt the lack of damage. I was unable to kill the majority of incursion architects, bosses took forever, yellow mobs were often so tanky I skipped them. It honestly felt so bad I was considering switching BACK to sunder, picking up a higher PDPS weapon for like 10-15c, and just running Sunder until I could afford the threshold jewels. I decided to stick it out and farm the jewels.

Obviously there's other factors involved, like the range benefit, increased dmg with chin sol when "nearby an enemy" etc - but it just felt very weak. A solution is as follows:

HUGE SUGGESTION:
Buy the "Cannot choose fire" threshold jewel, and pick up Elemental Equilibrium. It costs 1c or less for this jewel. This lets your Elehit alternate Cold and Lightning, meaning you will always get full damage from Ele Equilibrium. This put damage up to "sort of" respectable levels.

I was able to clear trash in T1-3 maps reasonably well... but yellow mobs/bosses were still MISERABLE. Single target DPS was just very bad, even with a separate 5-link setup for elehit (without GMP). Would often have to portal out of bosses to refill flasks. Not impossible, just very annoying.

However, once you pick up both threshold jewels... and Avatar of Fire/Pyre... the damage is bonkers. Grabbed both my jewels last night for about 110c total, DPS went from 12k to about 35k (tooltip). PoB says I do around 350k dps now, up from something like 50k without the jewels.

Just swapped over to ele hit at level 38 -- feel free to check out tree and char profile - crushing mobbs atm very easily - used rain of arrows up till 38, no ele hit jewels needed.

EE and EO after switching to EH right?
