its me again D: Can u remind me please, with what gem u swapped ur Elemental Proliferation? TY ^_^


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.
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.

So, res is being calculated same with gems and curses?


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...


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.
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 ?

The build without Grand spectrum is as good as it ever was. And it can do any content in the game with proper gear. Of course the ignite immune content is harder but everything has been done.
The grand spectrum jewels got nerfed considerably. However they still deliver most damage. The build can be cheap but also expensive. It depends how far you want to go. T15 should be easy with good gear. Im not sure what is AW FB. :)

Ancestral warchief facebreaker.
I have like 10ex to spend on another build. I think with this I can buy most of the items I need for this build, like quill 6l, kaom and the other stuff.
I only want to know if it's worth it, since I don't need an endgame build because I have the other build. Need a fun build with which I can reach 88/90 lv.

I say this is an endgame build and if you haven't tried EA you definitely should! Just try get tabula for start and see how it feels. if you like it then get more gears. :)
