[3.16] 🔥 Sanavi's Armageddon Brand | Elementalist 🔥 SSF/HC Starter Viable ✔️

Here are some POB's for you and people to check out if they want to:

My current setup I'm still upgrading : https://pastebin.com/AG0c5nts


My endgame setup I'm thinking : https://pastebin.com/D5djJ370

This will be what I'll be going for. I didn't go overboard with upgrades. I think they are not that expensive. So this will probably be my endgame but you can still spend hundreds and have tons of damage imo:

I feel like it could do endgame easily with this gear and I think (atleast for me) this is a starter build that is literally good at anything. Clear is more than enough. Single target is pretty decent for a starter and after spending some currency it can do the endgame aswell. Tankiness is also superb(I think it may have some problems with dot damage tho) After endgame upgrades that i want to do, i think i'll stop spending more cause i like playing more different builds than playing only one for the league.

Hey, i've read the latests posts and I saw you did somes interessings changes but the PoB is not update atm. So the most important I saw :

Determination instead Malovelence
Boot enchant + Soul of Brine King for stun immunity
Bastion of Elements instead Shaper of Storm
Ignite Prolif instead Immolate

Is there any others changes ?

Anyways, i will wait for the PoB update^^

Thanks !

Why not just rock Koam's Boots for Unwavering Stance?

Also what's the best way to go about getting a 6L staff?

Thanks for sharing! Our Endgame trees are similar, but I have created a potential gearset/gem setup that is more invested to see how far the build can scale. I appreciate your input over the last few days, it's helped develop the build nicely. :)

Yes to all. The only exception is to use Ignite Prolif until you can get a cluster jewel with Fan the Flames, then replace Ignite Prolif with something else.

I'll have an updated PoB within a few days (prob Fri/Sat).

Not necessary anymore, get the lab to enchant '80% to avoid stun if you've killed recently'. In conjunction with Soul of the Brine King, you'll rarely get stunned.

Best way to currently 6L the staff is to get a Martyr, roll jeweler's on it to 6 socket it, then fusing it to get a 4L and 2L. Once you do that, stick it in your crucible and corrupt it. If the implicits don't break the staff, roll Tainted Fusings on it to 6L it. They have a 50% chance to add or remove a link to the largest link on the staff. If they roll the 4L into a 3L, bench craft the staff back to a 4L. If you have good RNG you should only need 2 Tainted Fusings to turn it into a 6L.

I didn't really get that throughout the many posts:

Is emberwake now dropped from the build?

joining the armageddon brand bandwagon after MTX release

so far, levelling has been the breeziest of all (already levelled other 4 characters to maps this league). loving the tanky aspect of the build (block capped, stun immune, possibility of using purity of elements to become ailment immune).

bought an early martyr of innocence, and things are going smoothly.

just one question:

how do you guys deal with armageddon brand's mana cost later on? i'm running a single 50% aura and herald, because I'm with clarity + vitality maxed out to actually let me cast stuff and survive. dumping just clarity would give me ample mana to get another 50% aura, but then i'd be unable to cast brands constantly.

Never included it in the build.

So, I'm using Inspiration in my 6L. Coupled with an Enduring mana flask, mana has been. Glad you're enjoying the build!

Enduring mana flask is smooth as fk, you can also try the two passive masteries points that gives mana on 5th spell and 5 mana on arcane surge

Hello there,

First, thanks for the build, it's so fun to play
Can you explain why you don't take emberwake in your build ?
Thanks

Started using the Enduring Mana Flask, and it's been pretty sweet so far. I'd even raise the point that the 5 mana regen with Arcane Surge mastery isn't needed.

Started facing another kind of problem in maps, tho:

Armageddon Brand kinda lags a little before activating. It's not something extreme, but during high mob-density situations, it's the difference between life and death. Is there any way to increase brand activation rate without messing with the support gems?

I'm also trying to fit Brand Recall on my links, as stopping to cast a brand on top of a huge scourge pack is almost certain death. Brand Recall's seamless casts would help A LOT on those situations.

(kinda sad that you also need enlighten to run 2 50% auras + herald and vitality D:)
