IMPORTANT NOTICE

Guys please don't forget that this a video game and even though I'm happy to have such a strong community behind me due to this guide, please do not forget that every build can be checked via poe.ninja. And let's be honest.. If you look up BA Elementalist on Poe.ninja, 95%++ are playing this build. So if you dive into Poe.ninja looking for a specific skill gem and checking builds and use them as a basis, you will most likely end up with a very similiar one.
Yes I put a sh*tton of work into writing this guide with detailed crafting explanations but still.. If someone is looking up a build in poe.ninja and finds something interesting, you cannot imply 100% that this person crawls the forum to check if there is a matching guide to this build.

Of course speaking from a guide creator perspective, I would wish that this is done and some sort of reference to the work that went into this build is mentioned, but still doesn't put me in the position to claim the "ownership".

So please stop the hate.. I don't want to be another factor to increase toxicticy in this community.

Thanks ! :)

very well said!!

also probs to illiani for reaching out

+1 to keep all the discussions civil

Dude, it's cool. It's easy to get caught up in the emotions of the moment - especially if you feel your favourite content creator has been slighted.

I'm just glad cooler heads prevailed. This community is better when we all play together, rather than at each others' throats.

Patch notes when?

So yeah, I'm not sure how good this will be as a league start this league, but thinking it will be my second build for sure. Enjoyed it a lot in Ritual.

So after the Drama is over i wanna show of my Char.

A huge and honest thank you to Hardprimat. I play poe for 8 years now and this was my most fun league ever. mainly because of ur build.


Its "my" perfect version of the build.

Main difference to op is that i tried to get her very tanky.

6.8 k hp 950 es // 1500 hp regen // perma endurance charges(chest suffix plus annoint) + lvl 20 cwdt immortal call
48 % of physical dmg taken as elemental


Items

super speed helmet

videos
clearspeed setup+aw9 hunter
witnessed uber elder

I did something similar but stopped playing about a month or 1.5 months into the league, and it felt pretty good. Endurance charge when recently hit surprisingly keeps you at maximum endurance charges pretty good and worked very well with immortal call. The build, with currency, isn't squishy by any means. That said crafting a lot of these things are going to be much harder in the future since you cant just aug fire with suffixes filled to ensure you get what you want. A big reason I'm going to hold off a little while on 'craft heavy' builds and go for a cheaper league starter.

Hey guys and Hardprimat,

I already levelled this build with BA from the beginning and it was a breeze,
Of course some items will be harder to get but there is always alternatives and the build is also very strong for the initial content,
The tankiness is still there, is practically the same,

Of course the combination of mods on most of the items will be much harder but the build will shine as well,

Other alternatives will appear for sure,



Hardprimat, one question,
In terms of dmg, what do you think the build will be capable of hit?

Ty in advance mate,

Thanks alot for the write-down and I really like your appraoch. I hope you are fine, that I added a section with this post to the original guide at the bottom as "Community member approach" :)

p.s. that's some nasty gear you have there :-P

thx ;) absolutely fine if u pin this ofc (even feeling slighty honoured) ;)

just one thing , i would like to edit the post a bit more.
Like giving some explanation for gear choices and better formatting.

if u could maybe just refresh it tomorrow or sometime so the "edited" post is pinned.

one more thing that interested a lot of people was the interaction with an explo chest.


we will see about the patch nodes most likely its not worth at all now.

my findings for explo chest

-need full conversion and more "increased fire/elemental dmg(magmatic strikes)

-need curse on hit(flammability/ele weakness)the explosion curses

-need lots of aoe nodes

-needs herald of ash (no point playing explo build without fancy explosions)


with all that i went down to 5.2 k hp. with normal gear u would be under 4k i think.



pros:

- nice pooofs
-with explo chest +bereks the clear is (slightly) faster (but ms is more important)

-simulacrums are easier, u can feel the explosions there

-legions are way faster ( mostly instant pops) this is the biggest positiv

-porcupines( but they dont hurt aynmore if ur fully geared anyway)

cons:
-u need a lot of point to achieve the needed aoe +conversion expensive chest.

-u lose an aura for herald of ashe or the burning arrow dmg helm enchant

Fazit: can be fun , is good for legions but

Would definitely not recommend, u lose way to much for lil gain.
i would only ever suggest this approach if u have 300 ex plus in gear and really like the poofs.


+that was for a league with harvest(old explo mods)
its most likely not even an option for next league


Edit : Tldr Explosions is not a good idea for this build at all.

I still have the opinion, that explo chest kills just too many mechanics of the build (chain + prolif) but I got your point in safety :)

Let's do it like this.. You can edit your comment until you are fine with your version and then you write me a short PM. Then I can update the section to the latest version :)

Ty will pm u when finished.

About the explosions, yeah u r right it is defintely not worth it.
But its doable in theory.

It doesnt fully kill the prolif though, the last mob that doesnt get killed by other explosions still prolifs trough bereks.
