Only Herald that would somewhat do something is Herald of Thunder, but even with Mastermind of Discord it's not worth the opportunity cost. Could be used in a highend setup with Devouring Diadem, but even then i'd prefer Aspect of the Spider instead.
For an ES setup i'd prefer Occultist, it already gives so much flat ES and stun immunity, and you could use a chest with more ES than Inpulsa's and still gain similar explosions from Profane Bloom. There would be a big damage loss from missing out on 50% shocks and Hypothermia, so it's probably a good idea to go crit and maybe even Lowlife in this case.
@AntsGod
They increase Vaal Grace uptime and the duration of our Lightning Traps, which allows them to deal more total damage. If used, they also boost the Lucky Buff uptime from Vaal Arc and Immortal Call duration.
@karol89
Thanks, added a note to Leveling Section.
@TooTriggered
Hard to tell without being able to check out your character, could be many things that cause your issue.
@boojig
Yeah that's too unreliable and you miss out on a flask suffix.
@cpaz167
You're missing lots of mobility from going with sceptres and only having Flame Dash as movement skill, and one of the big survivability factors of this build is its mobility. You also need Zealot's Oath to make things smooth until you have another source of ES Regen, and your flasks need some work. The dualcurse setup you currently have also doesn't work as base curse limit is 1, so only 1 of them will ever be active. Last but not least, try out the CwDt + IC setup i've added today.
@GedasG
Mobility, it's a huge factor for this build and Flame Dash doesn't come close to Whirling Blades once you got enough attack speed. Another reason is that WB is able to proc Fortify.
@Raschas
Not worth it, stick with Enfeeble for the extra survivability.
@subcutan
1. It produces more individual chains for each pack, as you usually build up all seals on the way to the next pack, and it's a good boost at bosses where we have to move.
2. The EB setup allows to skip Watcher's Eye with Wrath Mana Leech, which was required for reliable mana sustain and 4ex+ for the first weeks in a league. It also is an indirect damage boost as players are able to run Wrath now without needing Essence Worm, which were 1ex+ at the start of a league and this also opens up another ring slot, even makes MotS + Elder Ring setups much cheaper and easier to get. And it gives more reliable Enfeeble uptime, also with more effect than the old CwDt + Lv12 Enfeeble setup had. 3. That wouldn't help at all, use Zealot's Oath or get any source of ES Regen as backup.
@Sarwar94
Check out my reply to GedasG and subcutan.
_______________________________________ I've added CwDt + Immortal Call back to the build. If you're having issues with Physical Damage, especially Porcupine spikes, give it a try! But keep in mind it won't protect against Elemental Damage! twitch.tv/enkivt Last edited by Enki91 on Mar 12, 2019, 10:28:52 AM

I've switched to an ES CI occultist crit arc build and it works very well, if anyone is interested I can try to create a guide.
It's a little bit more expensive than enki's build since everybody wants ES stuff this league, and you need at least 4k ES to be comfortable when you switch to CI. With high end gear (like 2 void battery) I would be around 1M dps with arc and 9K ES (on PoB, haven't been able to test it yet since that ideal gear is super expensive). I find survivability to be higher than the life/ES build too. I'm still tweaking my build (first time that I work on a build on my own), but so far I love it! | |

can i use both defensive setups IC and blind and remove Lightning Spire Trap setup?

"I've thought of different ES versions and agree there is a huge dps loss switching out of Elementalist. Granted, I think the gems would be fine. Arc > Spell Echo > Lightning Pen > Arcane Surge > pick 2 Unleash, ALD, ES Leech (not sure which 2 are better). I'd probably go tri curse applied via bane, but maybe more and take a staff instead of dual wield, especially since curses got buffed heavily in 3.6. The biggest problem would be utility. I cannot replace the chill slow nor the massive attack/cast speed loss. | |

How can I use Wrath, enfeeble(aura) and Discipline (at the same time)? What happens with Wrath I was supposed to acquire together with Discipline and I can't see it even mentioned in next acts. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.

What do the notes in parenthesis mean in the crafting section?

" I've switched to occultist and I'm using power charges, not curses. My dps is way higher than the elementalist build Last edited by ocombe on Mar 12, 2019, 12:54:12 PM
