Thanks for the update, i used this build on incursion and it was superb, fast/smooth and easy vs bosses, but since the delve league im trying a CA pathfinder and to be honest ths elemental hit was way better, literally incomparable. Do you have an idea if EH is better for late game vs CA !?

I was in the same boat. I was spoiled by Incursion ele hit.

With CA, I was able to clear all maps up to t14/15. Spawned red guardians and elders. I feel like I had good gear to get here as well. lvl21 CA gem, +2 6linked thicket bow, (also used lionseye bow, which I think might be better), 5 link HoAg. Wither/blight/witchfire. I ended up changing builds when it took me 10 min to kill a yellow elder guardian.

I think ele hit will still be a lot better endgame vs CA even after nerf.

Yeah mate, i might create elemental hit once again. Is a short bow with +2/+3 better than chin sol for this build?

Dear Community,

Seems like a nice build even after the nerfs. I am doing this on Delve and doing decent damage on normal creeps. However I am struggling with map bosses even on low levels (T3-T4 maps).

I am changing GMP to slower projectiles on bosses but the damage still seems to be low. Anyone got some insights how to upgrade single target damage without spending 8ex on Xoph's? Is there anything I am doing wrong here?

My current gear and passive tree:

Also, I have correct Combat focus jewels in correct places (only fire arrows triggered) and Lioneye's Fall in correct place (tooltip of claw nodes changed to 'bow')

Thank you in advance!

Just looked into your tree, you don't have Avatar of Fire which is probably why you're struggling

Um sorry to be thick, but I just noticed i dont have avatar of fire either? (it is in the top left corner if i'm not mistaken?) or do i have to respec differently until I get a Xoph's blood? My tooltip DPS is 30k~ at the moment and on T6 maps

EDIT: Oh god, just noticed that the tree is completely different without Xoph's. FML :-) Oh well, I guess i was doing well to get this far (T6 maps) as it is! I thought the build was pretty OP as fuck too :-S

Question: Is Chin Sol the only real option? I have been much preferring Quill Rain, notably because the clear speed is insane (blink arrow like a ninja across maps). I am going to try linking a 5 chin sol or 5 quill rain.. I don't mind a drop of tooltip DPS for the extra mobility and speed the quill gives

Anyone know if avatar of fire bugged ? i have both combat jewls slotted + avatar of fire and my elemental hit still cycles through all elements only damaging when fire is cycled

All working to me. Dunno what's up with your thing. Make sure they're in the right place.

Dho thanks yep i had mixed up the jewls in the wrong ones haha!

So should we use PoB tree or your current tree from delve? I'm confused u.u

Also can you do some leveling trees?
And why Gathering Winds first after normal lab? wouldn't Fast and Deadly be more benefit especially with Quill Rain?

Gathering winds for speed and 1k evasion. That much evasion basically makes you unkillable during levelling when paired with Acrobatics.


This is the first time I'm playing ele hit and I gotta say it's awesome. Very cheap and easy to build into. After I got the frostferno( really cheap this league, only 50-60 chaos) my single target dps sky-rocketed. I almost one shot most bosses ( only reached Tier 8 atm tho) and it feels really good. The clear speed is also great with the +1 chain from the ascendancy.

That's right. I hope more people will try this build as it's endgame is basically still the same.
2/3 of a shitton of damage is still alot and right now it's even more affordable.

I'm also confused with the trees, am I following your current Delve tree or the POB one?

If you don't use Xoph's Blood, follow my current Delve tree (rush to Avatar of Fire!)

for those who wants to play this build from zero. save 20-30c for gems (combat focus crimson and viridian) calculate your passives as going to reach avatar of fire around lvl 65-70. while lvling open your 2 jewel slots for jwls and when you want ,give avatar of fire a point and enjoy clearing. nothing more required to start mapping just 2 jwls and avatar of fire. your dps will be always good so focus on getting some kind of defenses afterwards. especially when you reach red tier you gonna need it. i dont know how to share my items and tree but it should be open on my profile.
