3.23 | 13.5M DPS | EA Ballista Golemancer Elementalist | Tanky AF | Uber killer | 5k+ juice farmer



EndGame budget - 100divs (Multiple Budget options in the PoB)

I decided to give the good old EA Ballista Elementalist a twist, investing into Golems and Golem Buff effect. In addition, we're using Transcendence, Eternal Damnation and Loreweave for a huge boost to Elemental Damage Mitigation, and of course investing into pure Physical Damage Reduction sources along with converting some Physical damage from hits to Elemental damage. Result - ~125k EHP and 13.5mil DPS.

Trying this RN, thanks for the build.
Is having armor + evasion on every rare a big plus?

Hi,
Evasion by itself is useless in this build, since we're running Unwavering Stance and can't evade attacks, but we need the evasion in the bases for the ability to roll Spell Suppression. And we do need Armour for Transcendence, so long story short we require Armour/Evasion bases.
Loving this build, thank you! It's very durable and I don't even have my watcher's eye or transcendence yet.

My only problem right now is that one of my last big dps upgrades is swapping the green support in my bow to Empower. Internet says to get 4 reds, 1 green and 1 blue would take something like 5,000 chromes (on average) to bench craft. The bow was 30 Div otherwise I'd consider getting a new base.

I swapped out faster attacks for culling strike in the mean time (according to pob was the highest damage green support). Any suggestions on this or other improvements are welcome :)

Hey! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Color the bow with 3 red sockets using "At least three red sockets" benchcraft, and buy yourself a Vorici T4 on TFT discord for a chance of 1-6 white sockets on the bow. if it fails, try again, shouldn't be too hard. I'd try go for 3 reds 2 greens 1 blue and hope at least 1 of the greens turns white.

Worked like a charm! Thank you sir.
13.5m dps is way too low to farm 5k juice consistently and quickly. Even if it is tanky, if the maps take an hour to do its just awful.
I believe the 13.5 mil dps is against uber bosses.
Path of building link isn't working for me.

https://pobb.in/Z6_fN2Lj83R2 is what I am using as a copy/paste from original post.

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Derp. Clicking the link direct works. Won't copy to PoE Planner, but I guess it doesn't matter.
I poop, therefore I am.

I'm not sure how long it took you to write that up, but I'm guessing it was a good bit. Thanks for doing it. I now have a much better understanding of many things involved in properly planning and playing an elementalist.

Great job.
