R.I.P. [2.6] Explosive Arrow - Elementalist Build Guide (multi class + version, in depth theory)
So, res is being calculated same with gems and curses?
1) 60 res - 37 from fire pen gem = 23% 2) 60 res - 44 from flamma curse = 16%? I have: Mastermind Pendelum Shaper od desolation Beacon of Ruin I took mastermind, thus I am thinking of switching fire pen for empower 4, you can see my gear in my profile. Edit: I use Orb all the time, because it procs Elemental overload, and I use curse on hit, orb, flammability, it works great so far (still didnt decide to get EE, will have to do some testing, could be really useful on bosses) Thanks again!

" Yes. I think EE is worth trying. I am not comfortable in comparing Fire pen vs empower lvl 4. You will have to find an answer from someone else. I think both gems are good. I see you are using portal gem and some random link to your golem. A thought here is what if you drop increased aoe for Prolif gem. Now note that this gem will have greater radius compared to Beacon. However there is also a damage penalty! If you have enough damage you could try this and get Liege of the primordial instead and get some damage and (pseudo) defenses there. For boss kill you swap to conc. from prolif. gem. Just a thought... Greengroove's Loot Filter Scripts: poeurl.com/OMs

" For maps that have Immunity to ignite Elemental focus. But for those maps you can also remove chance to ignite and use inc aoe or conc effect for damage. Greengroove's Loot Filter Scripts: poeurl.com/OMs

Not sure u'v understood me right D: I just want to drop my Beacon of Ruin, and if I remember correctly, u had 2r-2g-2b quill rain setup fot both bows, and I want to clarify was it Slower Proj that u swapped with Elemental Proliferation Support for aoe :3

Yes. But you will need to use something other than prolif support gem for guardians and Shaper ad phases. Especially for Shaper ad phase you need to use decoy totem. Those ads have VERY high HP! Only do that If you really have insane deeps.

" Because I am curious if empower 4 > fire penetration I have mastermind -25% flat res, doesn't get reduced as curses do + EE (let's say I get it, it is flat -50% res) should already be enought, I guess. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Resistance_penetration The link you gave me Image "Efficacy of 10% resistance penetration versus resistances" It seems when res are close to 0, or small minus, is best. After that point returns are minimal damage wise. Seems to be no need to invest so heavy in more fire res gem...only if map has + resistance Thank you for advice on aoe prolif gem, will test it | |
step by step passive tree would be nice, but still looking forward to try the build, just made a withc lvl 1 :))) btw quill with 50% inc proj speed or look to get closer to 100%?

" I say go for it, since you already have it. You can switch the gems at any time. Test and see what it feels better. " There is a step by step spoiler. It's called "Leveling the Elementalist". It's all in there. Greengroove's Loot Filter Scripts: poeurl.com/OMs

Hi , I want to ask if this build is good as beforr. I want s good clear speed build ( I have a AW FB ) and this seems pretty good, speedy and fun for clearing map. Is also xheap.
Is this build good for endgame map bosses like t15 ? Last edited by maclarca on Jan 2, 2017, 3:01:02 PM
