[3.14] Dejuvenate's Flameslinger Elementalist. Best League starter and unethical clear speed

My pob dps went from 2.2M to 497k. Also I was running herald of ash, but even turning that off I still have -9% mana available so I have to lose something else.

Re-doing links etc, grabbing sovereignty (which is already in my thread of hope ring), gets me to 397k dps. That's like 18% of the damage I was doing in 3.13.

EIGHTEEN PERCENT IM DIED.

This is just knee jerk reaction trying to see what the changes are like, I didnt spend any time improving it, because well I just don't see the point.

she's dead jim.

This build got big ouch.
DPS nerf is something you can deal with, to do 6mil instead of 18mil dps is what many of us would find acceptable for the clear comfort this build provided.


Some new interactions are now possible too, maybe compensating for some of the damage lost.

But yeah, fire dot got hit extremely hard this patch and spellslinger got killed 3 times over.

What are you gonna play guys? I'm thinking about the assassin with new trap.

Best thing i've played in the game. It's dead now.

Sorry for the tardy response guys.

I believe this build is just not preferable anymore.


The murder of spellslinger, the butchering of dot multi cluster jewels, shitting on of support gems, and nerf to golems pretty much sealed the coffin on this build.


A couple things I personally tried and enjoyed this league.


Seismic+exsang trapper. Best build on a budget. Done sirus a8 with 5L tinkerskin and cleared t16s comfortable with exsang. Kinda squishy tho and easy to die when mobbed. Real nice regen and recovery with tinkerskin, pyromaniac, and vitality.

Forbidden rite totem is kinda on a league of its own. The fact that it shotguns kinda makes me feel ggg dropped the ball on this one and they didnt playtest this skill enough.

F for spellslinger, so sad.

Think the 3.16 changes will bring this back?

Definetly the most fun build I've used in poe. Thanks for making this guide. 3.14 was an awesome season thanks to this build.

Not sure, Flamewall got a 50% more dmg, but it loses EO - bringing it to be about the same number in live. Losing EE numbers from -50% that stacks with exposure, to only -25% also hurt.

Global dot multi would be nice, but I doubt it can bring the build anywhere near where it was in 3.14. If anything, it would perform even worse than it did in 3.15.


The only silver lining is, we can get much better reservation at low reservation level; we can most probably fit in malevolence + 6L slinger + hoash without -reserve enchant now (pending the final numbers).

Even then, I would suggest looking into other builds unless something dramatic happens.

A build similar to this somehow, is Arma brand ignite, with flamewall as additional dps for single target. I played it as league start in 3.14 and was happy with it, until I could swap to fireburst.

This build was the most fun I ever had in this game. It would be really great if it could come back in some way :)

Same here. Someday it'll rise again!

Has anyone tried this build or something similar this league? This was by far the most fun I ever had on a build!
