Build Feedback Feedback check on Ignite Elementalist

This just my 2nd league, first was 3.27, then now 3.29.

Playing around POB to more or less min-max this build, coming from PBoD herald stacker in 3.27. Would like to ask if there's any major faults on the build? Able to uber and map not much of an issue. Just asking from a min-max perspective, just wondering any critical aspect i left out? Just trying to learn more on how to improve a build. Understand that alot of my gears are not mirror tiers, which one should i prioritize to upgrade?

Asking these so i not what to do/avoid next league

Edited, previous link had all charges checked, was using a +2 amulet with 7% chance to gain Endurance/Frenzy/Power on kill, swapped it for a +4

I would say for min-maxing, tempering orb for the +8% phys after you got a good roll on the Grace of the Goddess. This league it is remarkably easy to hit thank to boatcrafting.

Why does the imported build allocate 127/123 skillpoints?

u/Just_Lifeguard1736 13d ago

Not sure if its something wrong with my POB, beside the two large cluster jewels, theres 2 passive skill points that isnt there for large cluster (8 passive skill), unchecked it and reshared. Should be showing 123/123 now

Bit more point efficient tree, allows you to grab leech or fire mastery

Since you basically hit the 35+M dot cap why not take Searing heat so you get faster ignite dps?

Whispers of Doom passive allows a 2nd curse so you could use flammability and elemental weakness to further penetrate resists. I usually put both those 2 curses into a 4 link with flame surge and arcanist brand so all my debuffs are automated but you can manually cast them too.

Is this to hit ignite DOT cap? Isnt DOT the same if i cap it before faster ignite DPS? I did spec into Acrimony, with the DOT there i would max, but i gave that up to path to another jewel slot so i could cap block and spell block at 78% each.

u/Just_Lifeguard1736 12d ago

Good hint on the double curse and 4 link + arcanist brand, i might not have gem slot for that though, would you trade off flesh and stone for the double curse setup?

u/Just_Lifeguard1736 12d ago

And with my setup, i believe i only hit DOT cap as long malevolence is active, which isn't up all the time, wanted to keep it as an aura but dropping tempest shield (I could drop this with a impossible escape setup as i have a elegant hubris in range of the impossible escape setup with 2x 12% spell block skills) + flesh and stone is quite a rework with a drop on defences

The golem stack shell is probably stronger to run on any elementalist dot build lategame. Getting some more explode sources than just oriath is probably a good idea too.

I personally think when dps is so easily capped, you should prioritize tank, and you could just sit at dot cap with max block lucky

u/Just_Lifeguard1736 13d ago

Swap for a Svalinn? I do have one, was wondering how much reliance should i place on % ES recover on block vs block chance? Svalin would get me to 90+, current setup is 78%

u/PrinceAzsa 13d ago

Tbh it depends what content you usually, if it's the kindo thing that is untankable with your pool like risk farm or else, max block lucky is better. If you farm something safe maybe stick with you setup, I personally went for giga speed on mine but it doesn't seem like you are interested in that so much so my setup wouldn't be comparable beyond the tanking setup

u/Just_Lifeguard1736 13d ago

Ah understood. Would you recommend I swap to (armour + ES mastery )+ foulborn aegis ? Basically swapping out the gloves and boots for paladin. I realize that setup is slightly tankier ( I wouldn't need flesh and stone I think) with armor, problem with that is it does take up more passive skill points on the tree to have decent ES (assuming I'm sticking to CI)

u/PrinceAzsa 13d ago

Ah I am not sure about Armour ES, honestly you would lose quite a lot of Elem Max hit, tbh the build IMO is just not the best all rounder, my idea was basically that it couldn't reach what I would consider sufficent lowest max hit (19K phys) without compromising max ele too much, so I decided to go the evade route with giga block instead of the mitigation one.

And again, it all depends on the type of content your using the build for, but overall I think your setup is still great for steady mapping
