3.9 | The Swole, Golem Buffed, BURNING ARROW Elementalist - A Burny Boi | League Start to Endgame

Update December 19 - Build is cruising through high tier maps, swapped out immolate with combustion, it reduces our first hit's damage by a bit but every hit after is MASSIVELY bigger ignite damage, New youtube videos out everyday with updates!

This build guide is a WiP for now, bookmark this page and check back soon! I will have it updated 100% before league start and will continue to update it as I clear the new endgame =)

I’ll be streaming my whole league start and atlas progress, so If you have any questions/wanna learn or wanna come hangout, I stream daily at https://www.twitch.tv/gr0bbs

GEMS. Where and when to get them


BURNING ARROW - This isn't accessible to a witch, but can be muled over directly from a Ranger in Act 1.
VAAL BURNING ARROW - Easiest way to get this gem early on is to run all the vaal side areas you come across. There aren't many vaal skills, so you may just get it dropped. Alternatively, it will also be cheap to just buy on the trade website. https://pathofexile.com/trade/search

Hey, I've been comparing the pob between this and the other burning arrow elementalist forum guide and so far yours seem to have better overall stats.

Question though, why not use anima stone over one of the rare jewel?

Also I've heard that that the golem bonuses aren't calculated properly in pob, do I have to add them manually or?

Ah that's a mistake, I've updated the PoB link to include it. Yes, you definitely want the Anima stone. This will make sure we can have 9x Golems.
+1 = Base
+1 = Tree
+2 = Ascendancy
+3 = The Primordial Chain
+2 = The Anima Stone

As for the buff effect of the golems, you can force PoB to simulate the calculations manually. I have put the bonuses on the equipped Primordial Chain Amulet. They look like this:

I have suggestion to replace rare jewels with 1 more harmony for survival (with primordial chain golem's die too quick) or even 2 more harmony. And 1 more eminence (if you don't pick 2-nd harmony).

At this stage we haven't had any problem with our golem surviability. But, as you said they might die at higher tier boss fights etc, in that case I appreciate your input! Will give it a shot.

League started with this build, going well through maps well now, just hit yellow maps.

Here's my gear. Have had 0 problems with the new guardians in any of the encounters so far. Damage is great against metamorphs as well, most go down in about 5 seconds



My next goal is to 6L for the Xoph's and then to Anoint my necklace with the the 'Piercing Shots' notable.
