All in all without a buff of the Elementalist acsendency, the time for elemtalist is pretty done.

Agreed with you, current Elementalist is mostly viable for playing golem minion builds so basically feels like a reskinned Necromancer spec.

Elementalist / Inquisitor for elemental spell builds fall behind Assassin, Hierophant and Trickster, especially in the defensive department.

"Glass cannon" ascendancies don't offer much when others offer comparable dps and some defensives on top of it. Especially Assassin after buffs is top pick for anything that can crit.

Fast AF (youtuber) made an assassin arc build that was basically 1-shotting content. But keep in mind that guy has crazy amounts of currency so his gear is always insane (don't try to copy him "on a budget").

i bought a stygian belt with aspect of the spider b/c it was one of the mods in the guide. Just a note to others...you can't use it b/c you don't have enough mana reserve. Maybe I'm just an idiot for not realizing it in advance and following the gear blindly.

Waste of money on the belt. =(

A quick question: for the gloves you recommend 2 red sockets (linked) and 2 blue sockets (linked). In the red sockets I put the Cast when damage Taken & Steel Skin, but the guide says that flame dash should be in the glove as well. But the support for flame dash is green, so shouldn't the gloves be 1g+1b (linked) and 2 red (linked)?

On the boots, you will have 4 sockets. 2 red, 1 blue, 1 green

link the two reds
link the blue and green

don't do a 4 way link

Once you have enough Es without Discipline you swap to Aspect of the spider, and use the free socket for vaal grace for more dodging.

Assuming this is a reply to me: the guide shows 3b1r 4L on the boots though? Thats why assumed the gloves were used for the steelskin + cast when damage taken combo, but like I said then we'd need 2red L + 1g1b L :/

So... arc arcanist brands?

With dual storm secret rings?

What does "getting rid of Elementalist" mean? Switching to another ascendancy? Or even another class? What are the better options?

Testing some setups as Occultist and Necromancer, i'd like the build to stay witch. Elementalist is in a really bad spot right now, too many rotating/conditional buffs and golems die too easily to regular game content such as Sirus or Al-Hezmin and his spawns even with heavy investment into their survivability.

Knowing that cluster jewels stay available and getting some timeless keystones added to the regular passive tree opens up many things. Next build version should be much better, which isn't hard because the current one just didn't synergize very well with league content or the economy.
