Hey Deju

I know you've seen this video on the guy stacking fire multi gems and using a staff with trigger socketed spells combo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKoOUEos-Yw&t=84s&ab_channel=refillableduck

The advantages of that sort of setup are you're not using your whole mana pool to reserve flame wall, instead, mana could be used to reserve auras, the damage is not an issue for this build, but survivability definitely is.

I've attempted replicating that using wand/shield combo, unfortunately, the issue is that secondary burn duration on flame wall is around 2 seconds, if you use GMP/Frostbolt/Ball lightning, the trigger rate is 4 seconds on the craft which leads us to potentially missing casts due to it triggering on dash, flame dash, shield charge, leaving you unable to apply the debuff.

So potentially late game, crafting a Warlord influenced staff can lead to some sick results, fire exposure on hit, up to 130-160 Burn/spell/fire damage.

For your current setup

something like this is nearly mandatory.

For defense bastion of element would be nearly identical to bone barrier sitting at easily 2k shield, on top of that, we have 2 more possible choices, Glancing blows and stacking block + %hp recovery shield OR path all the way to shadow area and grab No witness for phasing + acrobatics.

So layer-wise we would have:

Max res
5-6k life
2k shield
3-5% life recovery on max block
around 600-800 regen if you're running stone golem/ vitality

OR

5-6k life
2k shield
45+ dodge/ elusive effect, forcing your minions to tank, if we stacked some defensive gems on the golems and the fact they respawn every 4 seconds, this could lead to a decent meat shield.
around 600-800 regen if you're running stone golem/ vitality


I'm looking forward to hearing what you and others are thinking. Thanks.

The coldslinger that Path of Math showcased with LL are at around 1.6m vortex Sirus dps + 500k creeping frost Sirus dps. So total of around 2.1m Sirus dps that's with around 10ex investment.

Both do around the same damage without gear, roughly 1 mil.
Like for example that build here:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2797749/page/1

I guess its just about if you prefer clearspeed or safety because occultist with cold dot is more defensive just by the nature of the ascendency and cold damage.

The Elementalist version kinda looks insane, this is cool man. Thanks for putting this together.

Do you think that this is a good build to league start and build on if you're looking to do the endgame for the first time? Not looking to do it blisteringly fast, just comfortably and on a reasonable budget.

Man, Thank you for sharing this. Its a thing of beauty. I just re-rolled a standard elementalist, I have a level 11 FW, and level 10 supports and its just blowing through low tier maps. I went MOM and Heavy Life regen, with only the golem ascendency, no skill tree golem stuff yet and I'm sustaining RF with 3 stone golems. Self cast FW was isn't horrible for more deeps.
I'm playing around with incinerate inside the six link with FW Slinger to piggyback the support gems for single target. So many great options, guess ill see what comes from it, but definite league starter for sure, should rush maps easy.
Thanks again.
Oh one more thing, Eye Of Malice helmet with its 1.5 multiplier to enemy resist, will be a big damage increase with our exposure, and curses. I think the fire leg of the ascendency will be better so you have permanent uptime on combustion exposer without having to hit with fire and break EE. Just a thought!

Have you considered running elemental hit with a combat focus instead of KB? With shaper of flames this would allow you to still ignite and use combustion and also safely proc elemental equilibrium without having to use malachai's artifice if you grabbed it on tree, could feel more streamlined for clear than casting a brand for ee.

Ah thanks, but if hit dmg is minuscule, would it still add the shock effect?

i.e. base 15%
lvl 20 unbound ailments give 34% inc effect
would the shock effect be 15% * 1.34 = 20.1% ?

Yes, if it is increase in ailments effect, like unbound ailments, it is multiply to shock effect.

The thing which multiply depends on damage is like Voltaxic Rift.
i.e. Shock Enemies as though dealing X% more Damage

Thanks. IF so, unbound ailments can give us 1.2 / 1.15 = 4.3% MORE dps.

hmmm
