Is that worth to get Zerphi's last breath flask for this build?
Depth 550 delve cities are ridiculous, those invisible rare monsters hit for like 70% of my HP and there is no way to kill them from the distance. I have to constanly move with shield charge to barely stay alive. update. Ok, i got zerphi's and it's not worth it Last edited by blg_RealiZe#1295 on Oct 19, 2018, 2:53:48 AM

@Zserub
The ironic thing is that just by going Elementalist you will gain damage with that very setup except for Ahn's + 2x Fragility switched in. As Ascendant, you won't be able to consistently put high shocks on bosses nor chill them, so Hypothermia wouldn't work most of the time which would make the damage difference even bigger. Having permanent Onslaught is also noticeably better than having to build it up first, and you're missing out on the +3 maxres layered with the defensive buff from Paragon of Calamity.
The +1 Inpulsa + Lv4 Empower setup really isn't needed at all, it's just for absolute minmax as mentioned in the guide. I don't even have it myself in Delve and have been killing all bosses (no Aul, still haven't found him) within first week without any issues, and done 21 Uber Elder kills since without blowing a single set.
@vip193
Should work fine. You could put Enfeeble in Cold Snaps place and maybe use more supports on Orb of Storm (Inc AoE, Blind, Cull, whatever else you may like).
@ThunderBiome
All trees are in my PoB, you need to choose one as explained in the Notes Tab. I've done this to test if people actually read the important parts.
@blg_RealiZe
Those relatively high tier cities with damage mods really put the build to test, it's also a hit or miss down there for me (currently at ~540). What you could try is keeping Orb of Storms with Blind up and doing short Shield Charges through the weaker mobs to keep Fortify up, or try out a good rolled Rumi's as replacement for Atziri's Promise.

" I found Aul at depth 343 with "+30% damage and 12% elemental damage penetration" modes. He literally just oneshots me from 100% to death with that ice shards fan (5220 life, 2200 mana, so it's like 7k effective life). I even tried yugul pantheon and sapphire flask for extra cold res mitigations - doesn't matter. And I can't really dodge that fan ether, it's pretty much instant and very wide. I wasted like 30k sulph trying to kill him, there is no way to do it with my current gear. Uber elder is nothing compare to that Aul |

Would you mind taking a look at my character?
I just managed to save enough to get my Inpulsa and am not sure what to work on improving next. What would you recommend to get next? Also, lucked out and got a relatively inexpensive Watcher's eye so rejigged a few gems. Also, PoB does not seem to account for shock in the DPS calc, even if "enemy is shocked" is checked. Thanks for the guide! |

@Enki91
Thanks for the guide! What about using Scion instead of Witch today? In the last 100 posts or so I havn't seen it mentioned, and it was 2014 when the build was originally posted... We've had some skill tree changes since then, and what worked back then, might not work any longer today? Last edited by Qangdra#2588 on Oct 20, 2018, 5:30:58 AM

I put my two golems in cast when damage taken setup and i find them up all the time. Is this ok or a no-no? With this I have decoy totem in the skill slot all the time and replaced sulphur flask with quicksilver for more speed.

" I've used CWDT +golem in a different build and it worked fine. But, that build could get hit every once-in-awhile. :) As long as you have Extended Duration in that item slot, I could see putting a golem in place of Duration Support, just so long as you're not having mana issues. Losing Cold Snap isn't necessarily terrible, but you do miss out on the chance for extra damage from Hypothermia + Cold Snap's effects. Cold Snap is nice to have and a popular combo with CWDT. I wouldn't replace the Sulphur Flask. You're getting 40% +Damage from that and Consecrated Ground too, plus whatever affixes you've put on it. And, Consecrated Ground will heal your golems. |

Thanks Enki for the guide, I'm new to exile and read up on your post and decided to try it for my first character ! Currently level 89 and just playing my way through maps at T11 currently
I had two questions: 1) Could you take a look at my gear and build, I just wanted to know If I was on the right track and what would be the next obvious upgrades? Arc level 21? Corrupted Impulsa for +1 to level skills ? 2) I'm currently dying a lot in maps, would you suggest I try shift my build to more life / resist skill passives and gear? |

" Ty. I don't have mana problem ever since i bought the wrath leech. I will bring back cold snap and probably replace mana flask in favor of sulphur flask. It's hard to replace quicksilver because it makes everything faster and smoother. |
