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

Do anomalous golem gems do anything for us?

It seems to me that is providing the same amount of life regen as
Not with a 15% increase, as expected...

Guys some of the glove enchants like Fury is amazing with this build, because we don't care about damage just more projectiles, so glove enchants are like a free attack that shoots in a circle.

ALso, why is Concentrated Effect not used? PoB gives it higher DPS than most other supports, and the loss of area doesn't really affect us that much no?

Has anyone actually tried using Kinetic BOLT instead of Blast? Seems better to me... Awesome clear speed and more base damage...

yeah i tested it thoroughly. its dogshit for clear. with chain barrage volley fork pierce in all combinations. the problem is the trash proj speed. its suuuper slow and my shield charge actually outruns the projectile. so i guess if your speed is shit its good clear but if you are even a little bit zooming i highly prefer kb. i really wanted to like it..

Ok yikes definitely taking out golem from ring, because we spam so much flamewall, golem actually shoot through flame wall A LOT adding fire damage.

Ok so I've hit a wall at early red maps. I tried transitioning a bit from guide build to public character build and I'm just getting slapped around pretty hard.

If anyone is bored and would like to roast my build and offer any pointers...

You dont put the flamewall on top of the boss.

You aim so the wall goes next to your feet, so the path is clear.

Primordial Chain makes golems aggressive, so they go zerg the boss. FW should be between yourself and golem, with boss being on the far side of the golems.

I have no such issue with malachai artifice


As I originally intended this build to be a decent leaguestarter, this build has done its purpose. I will clean up the OP, summarizing what we have learned so far so people who come to read this guide for the first time can glean the necessary info to make this build work.

Thanks again!

Yeah 100% Lightning Golem and Ice Golem cannot be used for EE (unless your golems are aggressive and you're super careful like Dejuvenate mentioned). That's why so many people are complaining about damage.

Lightning Golem's skills are Storm Orb (projectile) and Lightning Projectile (um).

Ice Golem's skills are Cyclone (melee) and Ice Spear (projectile).

If you enable "Show Minion Stats" in PoB, you can see these projectile skills picking up fire damage from Flame Wall.


edit:

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.



Having said that, I'm really enjoying this build for a HC league start. I pathed it more like a Righteous Fire build, but without going out of my way for regen.

Once I get a 5% life recovery on block shaper shield, I'll path in block nodes and Glancing Blows.

Yea this build is an insane league starter, but it was so much fun I just decided to carry it further min/maxing...but there is definitely a "wall" to this build that I think we sort of reached :D

That honestly does not sound relliable enough for me so i'll switch to some other ring. And how does primordial chain make golems agressive, it is not in its stats.
