[3.10] Aziire's Kinetic Bolt Elementalist - Thor and the Golem Gang! | League Starter

Great build guide. I used this as a base and went the assassin ascendancy for more survivability and crit. I'm cruising through maps with KBolt with lightning orb and arc+gunslinger. Here's a video of a conqueror map. I know its only a tier 4 but i'm not into reds yet. To all the doubters of Kbolt, this skill is fine with spellslinger but like any wander you need to have good gear to be able to do single target as well.

Do you happen to have a PoB link for this specific build? I would love to see what you are using.

Changed to Energy Leech support today.

While Blood Rage is active, then Energy shield is constantly down.

Dosnt this make the gem pretty bad, since we lose the all the more dmg effects?

Or am I missing something?

Basically you should still be leeching ES which boosts your DPS further since while leeching you will be getting more "more damage" modifier than when being on full energy shield. So Blood Rage additionally is ensuring you will always be able to leech ES and get the benefits from the support gem.
Am I wrong on something here?

I would also like this clarified, I removed bloodrage, I don't really like the mechanic, and using frostbite with arc/spellslinger for frenzy wich works really well. I am SSF so far, and are actually doing great.. still only doing blue maps, but clearspeed ias amazing, and bosses dies very fast, so no problem here so far on that.

But I also think that if you use bloodrage, you loose all the energy shield as buffer, so maybe that is why some die too much.

Basically if I use bloodrage, I loose around 700 shield, almost 20% of the dmg i can take, so that is a lot.

The delirium encounters, I found that you need to move a lot to avoid death, that is fine, some things they leave when dying is going to kill you if you do not move.

Found an obliteration wand, not sure if its better than the rare I have.
I forgot how to link the items, duh :>

Level 80 now, and yes I have died quite a bit, but not recently, starting to feel better.

Thanks for the guide, oh and I don't think I will be using brotherhood rings, I do not like them much, too little utility, so will work around that.

Just really need the last bit of Lab, for the option to use wrath again, really look forward to that.

Oh and regarding the minions, mine do not die at all, but I found an Primordial Harmony jewel, so using that so far instead of a cluster one.
Also got a helm with +1 minion gems that I use 3 golems in, that is really good.

Actually they never die at all now, just with 2% regen.

Here's the 84 character tree. The gems links are optimal. (I don't have all the awakened ones yet so just use regular) Endgame it seems barrage>greater volley>gmp for kbolt after a lot of testing.

Both of you are using wands with little or no lightning dmg, maybe thats the issue?

You mean flat lightning on wands? Do you think double Obliteration would be better than double Moonsorrow?

Just letting people know if you choose 2 cotb and have snowstorm, you're gimping your dmg

Thank you!

So i'm approaching level 50 and wondering whether to persist with this or not. Whats's the general consensus regarding end game viability? Is this going to be able to push into late end game AND be able to handle league content?

With gear and small tweaks this build will be fine for everything. Although like any guide, different ascendancys will be better for different aspects of the game. Watch my video above and it shows early mapping with a few tweeks but its mainly the same tree as the guide minus golems and nodes.
