[3.24 Standard] Blazing Salvo Elementalist 93M DPS
|
Note: I'm not remotely an expert, this is just the build I've been fine tuning myself over time. It would work in both standard and the latest league.
This started out as a fireball build but virtually the same things that scale fireball scale blazing salvo but with much more damage. This is a reasonably tanky build for a witch because there's a lot of stopping and shooting and blazing salvo works best at close range with return projectiles, and my skills suck. Firestorm can alternatively be used with this build with minor changes. https://pobb.in/1sGB1OLGq5VA DPS: ~93M eHP: ~150K eHP is optimised around maximising Max Hit rather than total absolute eHP. Less tanky version with haste instead of grace, great for map clear DPS: ~104M eHP: ~94K There are a small number of legacy items in this build, and in its current form is very expensive ~4M worth, but without the legacy items and a much smaller budget would still be about 3/4 the damage and 4/5 the HP. Note the custom mod in the PoB is for nimis return projectile damage Equipment:
Spoiler
The increased critical strike chance for spells looks redundant here but it ensures Elemental Overload is active virtually 100% of the time A skin of the lords could be substituted for much cheaper (ideally with EO) and an uncorrupted skin of the loyal much cheaper again A darkness enthroned stygian vise here with suitable abyssal jewels would be much cheaper here, along with appropriate flask modification A polaric devastation is a suitable alternative for much cheaper EB needs to be taken on the tree before without this helm. Mirrored versions of the sceptre, shield, unset ring, gloves, and amulet can be purchased from me at suitable cost (+1 mirror) each. Flasks:

Jewels as per the PoB Gems:

Linked:
The lightning golem is purely for its cast speed buff. Note that chill is required from chilling presence on a cluster jewel for hypothermia to work. Pierce is a good alternative without chill, and is mandatory if not on boots. Unavailable Unlinked: Note that hypothermia on the blazing salvo needs chilling presence on a cluster jewel for source of chill, otherwise pierce is a good option. Gameplay: Move in relatively close and keep shooting (slightly behind enemies) and moving, there is no regen but the leech and recoup on it are enough to refill life and energy shield every hit. Great all rounder with virtually all map and eater mods, though some T17 mods can easily destroy it. Hope someone finds this interesting/entertaining/informative.

OBS studio just started working so here's a random juiced up unidentified 200% quant Port map with Drox, eater influence, delirium mirror, and ritual. This is without nimis. Excuse my crappy play skills.

Updated the top post build as the nimis version is vastly superior.

Updated the POB link in the top post since it still pointed to the old one, and added flasks.

Here's a quick video of a 200% quant eater influenced defiled cathedral run with the 90M DPS nimis build.

Sadly this build will be nerfed by 3.25 (being the melee league it seems.) Herald of ash won't work, divine blessing won't be available for zealotry, grace and determination will provide only 60% of the base dodge/armour. Big drops in damage and eHP. I'll see what I can do, but I doubt it will reach the heights it did in 3.24.
Nerfed version for 3.25, work in progress: https://pobb.in/mk9na_kJ44b9 DPS: ~54M eHP: ~146K Last edited by Ittaku#1103 on Jul 30, 2024, 12:00:40 AM
