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

I'm playing this SSF. What are some ways people use to supplement single target? Just to kill bosses faster otherwise im just chucking holy flame totem and hit them with a flame wall and then run around for a few seconds doing nothing

I don't know if I just misread something or not understanding something important about the build but why do you have added cold damage to attacks on your wand and ring for the latest POB 25th Jan, Is there an interaction I'm just not seeing, probably a silly question but I rather ask than not know lol

As long as you don't have Elemental Equilibrium yourself it doesn't matter, doesn't help either though. I assume he has it on his gear because the other stats are good and we don't need to be careful about it.

@ the Lightning Golem Problem with Flame Wall - I've changed it out for Chaos Golem in Malachai Ring with an Abyssal Jewel that adds Lightning Damage to Minions, Chaos Golem's basic attack and spell are not projectiles so it works as intended and since its also a blue gem I could keep my resistances.

I have problems with those fights.
They are doable but imho not worth my effort and investments.

Use this build for speed farming legions and deliriums, they are probably worth way more imho.

Uber aztiri ( and even normal ) are different stories . last fight with atziri is a mess ... They reflect curses and huge amount of damage so oneshot you . not worth . as already told buid is fine for anything else like speedfarming

blights
deliriums
legions
breaches

Also, everyone is hurting their survivability by taking Glancing Blows without getting life recovery on block. Either use block as chance for full mitigation or use Glancing Blows to max block to proc recovery. Getting 75% block to just take 100% or 65% of the damage is not doing anyone any good.



Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. I have been tinkering on this build some more and been wondering if "take glancing blow if you stack block" is incorrect.

For those who wonder, glancing blow used to reduce dmg taken when you block to 50%. Now it is at 65\. GB is taken to reduce damage spikyness. Better to take a bunch of 10s than take nothing then 20s every now and then (old school wow tank concept).

Assuming you cap block with GB, 75% of the time you take 65% of the dmg, and 25% of the time you take 100% of the dmg. Resulting in taking 73.75% of the overall damage.

Assuming you are at 38% block without GB.

38% of the time you take 0, and 62% of the time you take 100%. On average you take 62% of the average damage.

Actually taking GB is a survivability loss.. damn

A quick napkin math shows GB is worse off at any point of block and spellblock, unless you take lgob or something like bone offering.

Thanks @SASpoonman for bringing this up. This frees up 2 extra points :)


I don't agree. Eventho math is correct, it works only in the situation if you run through the map and collect every hit in the face. However, we do not. We are attacking from offscreen range and trying to avoid being hit. However, sometimes it happens.
And in case of rare hits, reliable damage mitigation is a winner.
Let's say we fight Minotaur in a small area. His Slam hit does ~7k phys dmg depending on mods. Lets assume we were hit.
In case we only rely on block, it is ~62% chance (in the best possible scenario, usually it is ~70%) we are one-shotted.
In case we have GB, it is only 25% chance we are one-shotted and 75% chance to survive and quickly heal-up with our crazy regen and health pot, flame dash out and keep attacking.
The same works in all the bossfights where we can be potentially one-shotted.
PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

killed all without main issue.
use power siphon for bossing
what tree are people using before they get clusters? they're pretty expensive for a starter.
