[3.7] Storm Brand Elementalist. League Starter, Deathless Uber Elder.

Sorry, I am a total noob to the game. I am trying to follow your build, switched from another SB build to this. I bought the ring and put the fire golem but how do you get 2 golems up?

When you ascend into liege of the primordial, you can summon an extra golem.

I tried following your build..im currently lvl 88..but it doesn't seem like to me that its a starter league build..you ask for too many specific things that are not cheap at all..im stuck now and I really dont know what to do

Your profile is private so I can't see your gear to give specific feedback, but as it says in the guide, the only item required for this build is malachai's artifice, which costs 1-2 chaos. (And even that isn't strictly a requirement). Past that you can use just whatever rares you can make work, and the build does fine.

The guide of course talks about higher end items you can get to improve the build, but that doesn't mean they're required for the build to function.

If I knew how to link my ps4 account to the site I would show you where I am at..do you know how to do it?

EDIT* NVM i am tired it seems i answered my own question :P

is having 1 item with cold damage enough to chill enemy? i know you need to deal a % of enemy hp to chill so im not sure how we are chilling for hypothermia and cant find my answer lol

(i was thinking of beacon of ruin but i think we still need to do a % of enemy for it to apply the chill)

Any amount of cold damage to spells is fine, because of beacon of ruin.

Really good so far, wanted to try brand for the first time during flash back. Only 1 death during map (t8) that was due to the monster releasing spike in a circle when they die so i will switch cold snap for increased duration. Also i still dont have acrobatic node and using instant mana potion. Any advice about something i could easily improve? I was thinking about maybe removing some socket node etc to get acrobatic.

2 quick question regarding the weighted sum search. I followed your video and looked for a replacement wand. My current one gives me 6.5k dps. I started out looking for one with 9k dps so I entered a min weighted sum value of 90000. I had to go all the way down to 70000 before the search showed me any results. I sorted the results by the sum and tried out the first two wands:



Q1) Why is the dps in PoB way higher than the sum value? I was expecting some small deviations but this is almost double.
Q2) The price difference is huge considering that the second wand can be crafted on. Is this just an example of mispriced items?
Q3) How do you figure out the weights for mods such as "adds # to # fire damage to spells"?
