[2.2] The Wild Spellblade | Elementalist | Pure Elemental Wild Striker

As someone who has not played POE for a while i was looking at this build to run with on the new League. Question i have is why are you avoiding the Elemental damage nodes between Trickery and Coldhearted Calculation - surely these would give a nice damage buff?

Correct, they would be nice. The tree is undergoing some changes as a user pointed out to me that critting becomes less of a priority with the new 'Elemental Overload' keystone. I may consider taking the elemental nodes in place of the crit ones to travel from coldhearted to trickery.

very nice idea
was thinking about the same but as a templar (inquisitor) so your crits will totaly ignore the enemys resistence.
How high is the elemental resistance of a normal enemy? does somebody know that?
I also like wild strike as its a very cool skill.

But for the theory craft of Elementalist, firstly, we need to ensure Mastermind of Discord works on Wild Strike.

In another post GGG has been confirmed that COC triggered spell DOESN'T"T COUNT as "using" a spell as described in Mastermind of Discord.

Quoted by Mark:
"
Triggered skills don't count as you using a skill (or casting, or other more specific use term), so will not count towards this.



So does the elemental spell triggered by Wild Strike count? I doubt.

Thus, it may made elementalist not optimum as playing this build.

Wild strike will count. Wild strike is not a trigger gem.

Cast on Crit is a Trigger and doesn't count the player directly 'casting' the linked elemental spells.
