R.I.P. [2.6] Explosive Arrow - Elementalist Build Guide (multi class + version, in depth theory)

One of your rings adds fire damage. That is no good. You are actually doing a lot less damage because of it. Have a read about how Ele Equilibrium works. And get another ring and MAKE SURE you don't get any fire FLAT damage from ANY source!

Get Vaal pact. Try it out and see how it feels. Without it you CAN'T do ele reflect maps. Also if you use Vaal pact you almost won't need life flasks! when you get hit you can almost instantly leech back to full life.

Most importantly the ring. Again Read about EE and make sure you dont deal any fire damage from gear! You can see that if you press the "c" key and then just look at Offense. There you have all sorts of damage you deal listed.

You could / should join a guild. Have a look here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1192567/

I also strongly suggest to drop standard and never go back. Playing challenge leagues is much more fun. New stuff is always welcome. The items are cheaper as well. In standard people have insane amounts of money so prices are generally higher in standard.

I know about the ring, everytime i look at it i think "i must throw away this shit" but for now its ok im still clearing maps fast.

Im fine playing alone... i like xD


Yeah i really liked essence league but now im feeling soo lazy to start breach... i couldnt play for long... dont know why... i like the challenge stuff, i did 36 in essence for free stuff... ahahha
Im aware about the prices on standard, this explosive arrow will be more of a for fun character, i will play it with stuff i get from seasons... (if i play em all)

Thanks for the tips... will try vaal pact.. but im not sure if i go straight to it right now or get new jewel nodes..

You are literally better off with no ring than using that one.

Joining a guild is great because you can get support sometimes. Like waypoints, help, ppl buy gems for you, chat,...

Go straight for VP and get the jewel node on the way.

I was editing my message but you answered before...

my another question is: Im trying to get a good opal ring, can we get the benefits from "elemental damage with weapons" or not?





Now about ur answer:

Ok i will throw away that shit and will try VP.
Will think about guild too.. ahaha
I feel the help i need i get from guides from people like you, the rest i can ask for in global chats :p
Thanks for all!


EDIT: Shit, just checked it on the internet... elemental damage with weapons dont work with explosive arrow... only because i have a good one :/...

rip :)

Do you think it's worth going for the new helmet "The Formless Inferno Royal Burgonet" cause of the "8% of physical damge taken as fire damage" so that you proc "Paragon of Calamity"?

Hey, just a quick question: how do u leech? or just rely on hp regen/flask (& perhaps a doryanis)?

@Harneborn: The Formless Inferno Royal Burgonet Might be really good with Elementalist!

@Maredasan: The Elementalist mainly relies on life regen. I do get a tiny bit of leech from Doriani's You can also get some leech with corrupted items. But like I said we mainly rely on regen.

The Berserker does in fact need leech. He uses the "Pain reaver" and "Cloaked in savagery" Ascendancy nodes. Additional leech is very much desirable.

There is also a boot enchant that grants us up to 0.6% of Damage Leeched as Life and Mana if you've Killed Recently.

Alrighty thanks for info.
