[2.3] Burning Arrow Elementalist || Insane Clear Speed, Solid Defenses and Budget (Atziri Viable)
|
Great build. I would like to ask two questions.
1. I wonder if this build could be done with Lightning Arrow instead of Burning Arrow ? Reason : Bad single target of Burning Arrow and possibly even bigger AoE with LA Solution : Frost Wall + LMP / GMP Lightning Arrow ( see Mathil "one" shotting Uber Atziri with it and patch nodes did not mention any change with regards to that ) Explanation : I suppose the build doesnt actually need burn on the main attack (?). Lightning Arrow adds a great AoE to the main attack and will spread and double dip scale Burn ( sticking to generic elemental damage ) just as Burning Arrow does due to Conflux + Beacon. Links would be : Lightning Arrow + Phys2Light / Added Lightning ( Phys Bow / Ele Bow ) + Pierce + Lightning Pen + WED + GMP / LMP Single target : Frost Wall + Faster Casting + Spell Echo Auras / Buffs : Wrath + Herald of Ash ( with Essence Worm for Wrath : +Arctic Armour or Herald of Thunder optionally with Curse on Hit ) 2. What about a Grand Spectrum version of the build ( with LA in mind but probably also with Burning Arrow ) ? I planned a rough tree which gets 700%+ inc ele damage ( 11 Grand Spectrum = 605% inc ele dmg ) as well as some AoE, Projectile damage, Accuracy ( by chance not actually planned ) so that basically any strong bow - no matter if ele or phys - could be used and Life leech ( thats why the tree is so wide spread - I think I would really want reliable life leech to deal with some bad bosses ) Rough Generic Elemental damage tree utilizing 11 Grand Spectrum ( Due to leech Clarity could actually be dropped / replaced ) When Chuck Norris plays PoE masters do his missions Last edited by AdFinitum#3969 on Jun 2, 2016, 1:43:55 PM

Would this be a decent pick for a 2.3 start build? Also how do you get all the dex needed?

" This your plan for 2.3? If so, let me know how it goes! " Gear like amulets and rings + boots like Blood Dance. Kind of limits your gear choices. Other then that, it's a really nice build. Not sure if there are others that'll be better for Witch though but I'm sure there are more mainstream ones. |

" Well I consider it as my second build since levelling it wont be easy without great twink gear and requires 11 Grand Spectrum first. Yet I hope I didnt overlook something why it might not work with LA. When Chuck Norris plays PoE masters do his missions Last edited by AdFinitum#3969 on Jun 3, 2016, 3:27:19 AM

Hmm, I personally think pizza blast is very boring so I would go for this build. @EvilWiffles Yeah I tested both, but I prefer GMP. But maybe some people prefer LMP so that is fine as well. @AdFinitum Hmm, lightning arrow is a decent idea, but the problem is that you won't be able to use increased fire damage to boost both your arrow and burning damage. Also, the base damage of lightning arrow is too low. This means that your burning damage will be lower as well. Also, you can't ignite with lightning arrow without elemental conflux up. Since Elemental conflux is not always up, it will be harder to use LA. I think BA would generally be better than LA for a build like this. I think this build would be a decent pick for a starting build. Once you get the cruel ascendancy points and a decent bow, you will be steamrolling with this build. Only expensive items in this build are 5L lioneye's glare (highly recommended) and Kaom's Heart (you can use a rare chest until you get a Kaom's). @mezmery Yep Explosive arrow should actually work very similarly. Only difference on the tree is just make sure you grab resolute technique. Try to get a 5L bow with +3 to socketed bow gems (if you can't afford it, just use a quill rain). |

" i think quill rain is better but i decided to stick to burnining, something new at least. i made some research and this build version actually seems a bit more solid for me than yours, doubledipping with bow nodes instead of straight ele damage from templar. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMCAN-Ka3qQ-hekVK7Iv99tEzV90kZSIvT8TGwLbRmTJ5f0CPS-in_GUlPAVKEvEZaXlT1fakMHHg5ITLOVLl3yBAfQH_DVnsQrCoPbHwLv60lRpr4RL1XGNsVUR-tjOljYJIw2Nj21SFZIpwhVS52qj0br7mHibIwdFJrghTIc3DLRJpVirPrSr40SaUWdjxpFRxa_tMUWbxccU1LAZgzywuwkquNqcXkEszwFpcsFtSpbNumiAJ_f73yNv4Je8B9RR9QjUuwwfJUFN9Q-zzBxjX3Zxu0_vebdqCP2MpRLeE2SfwI6Qqbg No rest for the wicked Last edited by mezmery#2042 on Jun 3, 2016, 10:40:15 AM

" Oh wow - I should have checked that - the base damage on Lighting Arrow is horribly lower than Burning Arrow's. When Chuck Norris plays PoE masters do his missions

awesome build! maybe you will be able to play reflect with the new elementalist nod and using the reflect ring for 80% mitigation
Did you try using a 4L vaal burning arrow to vaporize the boss? vaal burning + trap + gmp + wed. throw 3 traps, any boss will vanish. I used to take this with me even when playing my old 2x6L builds |

@mezmery
Hmm. Physical damage with bows doesn't double dip. Only fire, elemental, projectile and generic damage can double dip the burning damage. You can check the burning damage on the poe wiki. Good luck! Last edited by MoarPizza#3433 on Jun 3, 2016, 12:29:32 PM
