LVL 82 so far did some of the elder slayers.
Dying a ton to delirium mobs.
Dmg is pretty good but i just don't see a way to make the defense side of the build even remotely enough to survive higher tier maps.

your wands are pretty weak for your level, even a simple moonsorrow would be better for u

Im very aware that my wands are not great.
But as stated my dmg is really no issue.
I get one shot so many times by delirium mobs.

You also have no life on gloves and no life on amulet, low life on belt. You're probably missing like 400-500 life.

But that's a potential weakness of this build. I think it's trying to dump too much into cold conversion with Call of the Brotherhood. If you look at the top people in league using Kinetic Bolt, NONE of them are doing this. It's just too big of a stat hit. And also I didn't see a single person dual wielding instead of using a shield.

Is the conversion really that much of a damage benefit to warrant losing hundreds of life? So far, from the feedback in this thread, it definitely doesn't seem like it. Not dying is much more important than shaving 10 seconds off clear time. Heavy flat lightning damage and elemental boosting is one thing, Shroud of the Lightless with abyss jewels seems like a fine strategy in lieu of Eternity Shroud here (which will be unobtainable for most of the league for 99.9% of players anyway.)

To be honest I think the build needs to be re-examined for the end-game. It's not the fault of the skill, it's definitely a solid ability and fun to use.

I have been using Kinetic Bolt + spellslinger as SSF league starter.
What a horrible idea, i know rofl.
It's been a hot mess!!! I improved it a bit so im level 85 now and i can do yellow maps now but i have a life pool of 3500 and my dmg is starting to suck again. Deffinitly not a SSF STARTER! ( I kinda knew this at the beginning though)

Also, i once again found out why i didnt like elementalist anymore... the golem playstyle is awefull if you dont spec some minion life and regen.

Running Wrath + the 2 Haralds leave me with 0 mana.
How do you get that setup to work?
I have used Spellslinger setup without wrath, which works great.
Also at level 50 i cannot have 4 golems alive, since casting the 4th, kills of one of them, so max 3. What do i need to have 4 going ?

To do all that you need to do the Labs. One gives +1 more Golem and the other gives less mana reservations for Heralds. Also the skill tree point "Golem commander" gives you another +1 more golem
