[old build] Doomfletch's Prism Elementalist (Budget and strong) [Top30 PHC]

They nerfed Elementalist in 2.4 so I'm not going to update this build. The nerf was completely fair, Conflux was very over powered.

I'm still going to use Prism in 2.4 but as a more traditional bow build. I have a quick write-up here:

While conflux was strong it was in no way the strongest point in your build and my first thought was this nerf would really hurt a bit it has not changed the way your build plays in the slightest,,its almost silly in its mechanics the way the shocks,chills and ignites cycle through to the regular conflux and then restart. So far i have seen no drop in performance at all and really the only noticeable difference is the visuals depending on wich status the targets get and with the free prolith they end up taking most if not all of them anyway.

I think a bit too much credit was given to conflux overall and this nerf is imo nothing more than a slightly easier way for their servers to handle the buff, wether thats graphics or code related i dont know but the build has lost nothing based on my what ive played since the nerf and my tooltip hasent changed,,(although it was never correct to begin with ) Doomfletch Prism came out pretty well considering all the nerfs that were done, and Elementalist are no worse off for the change,,,I am strictly anti nerf in general so if there was anything to fuss about i would be one of the first to speak out,,,but this build and my Witches (3 of them) are all doing just as well post 2.4 as they were in 2.3 i hope those holding off from using this or any build because of conflux should not take it too seriously,,it is still great as ever imo and just as OP as ever too :) that is all

Hey Grizz, how are you dealing with the T11+ map bosses in 2.4 with this build?

Taking forever for me to kill something single target, even with blast rain or barrage 5L.

Do you bother with a 2nd attack still or just more spots to buff your split arrow damage?

Wow this build looks like something I'd wanna play. I'm surprised nobody has comment on whether the nerf has killed it?

I see 2 contradicting comments would be nice if anyone comments on how well they've gone this league
i look at you vedio and wonder what arrow that come out when you shote spit arrow it look like fire arrow+CWD gem.
