Hey do you think i can use Shield Charge instead of Phase run ??


Yes, but it will be much slower, we don't have that much attack speed in this build so it will feel clunky. Flame Dash with faster casting feels better + Phase Run and Quicksilver is my preferred movement.

Wouldn't Paragon of Calamity be better than Beacon of Ruin here? Can you run ele reflect maps with this build?


The build without the ascendancy node you mentioned cannot run ele reflect, you can switch but the other nodes are just too powerful, you either miss out of spread of your ailments for faster clear or for free ele pen, and I rather roll my map 1-2 times more instead of having less clearspeed.


Is the ailment spread really that valuable? Maybe I'm underestimating how much shock/ignite you'll have...

Winter Orb has some AoE where it hits, the spread from Beacon of Ruin is 18 units which is way bigger than Winter Orb can cover. Through Herald of Thunder you get "Adds (X) to (X) Lightning Damage to Spells" that means you can shock your targets with a big enough hit. Shock applies after the hit, so when you kill a target that had shock on it, it spreads to nearby enemies in the radius, so they take 20% more damage from you even tho your winterorb didn't hit them. Which makes clearing simpler.

But as said before, you can go with the reflect immune ascendancy notw and test it out to see what works best for you. My PoB is only a guideline, no one forces you to play the way you don't want to :)

Thanks for the explanation! I've never run an Elementalists and I just didn't quite understand why Beacon of Destruction was so good. :)

what do you guys think about replacing inpulsas and useing one of those mods "enemies killed explode dealing 5% of their max life as fire damage" ?
i can see this one in many other builds...

Yes this is the alternative to inpulsa - mostly played with Kaom's Heart, saw it first on Waggle's stream last league and on Zizaran's stream. It's a weapon mod on a shaper mace i think, so the skilltree is a bit different because of the strength requirement. It has to be a good weapon aswell with the spelldmg and stuff :D

possible, more hp variant - Ziz also made a guide for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1zPcX6RmhM

Also Goofy Goober did a guide utilising this weapon mod: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2326142

I used this in betrayal and it's definitely worth.
Dual wielded with one weapon that has this affix so I could use queen of the forest as my chest piece for better movementspeed and mapclear.

thats was i was thinking. QotF... phase run... and i also use devotos in my version. will be insane for mapping. maybe even too fast, i will see. I also feel its safer because its so easy to just circle around and dodge anything.
