This build relies on using Infusions to empower spells, allowing them to do insane amounts of damage. We'll be starting with
Spark. We then transition into abusing
Ice Nova and
Snap for AOE and
Ember Fusillade with
Orb of Storms for bossing.
Ultimate Elementalist League Starter
Build Overview
Strengths and Weaknesses
- Great Single Target
- Great AOE clear
- Can be squishy if you don't get enough strength for armor bases
Build Variants
Our initial setup is relying on juicing up
Spark providing both solid mob clear and good bossing damage.
Frost Bomb will both reduce enemies resistances while also generating Cold Infusions while
Flame Wall will add even more damage. We also will be using
Orb of Storms. This allows us to generate Lightning Infusions for our
Flame Wall as well as adding some extra damage. Its also great for clearing out packs of enemies.

Make sure to check vendors every time you go back to town until you get a decent weapon!
We want to be able to wear Armor bases as these provide by far the best defenses. To achieve this, try to use items with Str or Int rolls. You can also get extra attributes from the passive tree if you need to. If you can't get enough strength, you can wear armor/es pieces instead.

Important Drops
It's very important to get a level 2 and then level 3
Spark as soon as possible! These levels both significantly increase damage while also adding more projectiles. Make sure to do the league mechanic in Red Vale to get level 2
Spark before the boss.
Also make sure you clear the Scarecrow in the Crop Circle in the Farmlands to get a level 4 skill gem, to be used on
Ice Nova.
AOE Rotation
1. If fighting in one spot for an extended period, drop a
Frost Bomb to generate a Cold Infusion and apply Exposure.

Single Target Damage
1.

Quest Rewards
How it Plays
This build utilizes synergies between spells to deal devasting amounts of damage. For an explanation of mechanics, see "How it Works". For a full breakdown of your rotation and skill priorities, check the descriptions in the Skill Gems section.
How it Works
Act 1
There's two main setups for this build. The first is relying on buffing
Spark to stomp through Act 1. We use
Frost Bomb to apply exposure and generate a Cold Infusion, which adds a ton of damage to spark.
Flame Wall buffs the damage even more. Finally we use
Orb of Storms, which helps with both boss kills and AOE.
Orb of Storms also generates a Lightning Infusion to buff our
Flame Wall even more.
Acts 2 to End Game
At the end of Act 1 we swap to our main setup, which uses two main combos. In single target, we use
Ember Fusillade +
Orb of Storms. This is an incredibly powerful combo because
Orb of Storms will deal damage every time we cast a spell, which each application of
Ember Fusillade counts as a spell cast. On top of this, the
Orb of Storms will get consumed after full stacking
Ember Fusillade, causing it to generate a Lightning Infusion. We can pick up this infusion before the
Ember Fusillade casts, which will empower all of the projectiles. These two spells synergize perfectly for incredible boss damage.
In AOE we use the combination of
Ice Nova +
Snap.
Ice Nova freezes enemies and consumes Cold Infusions to do extra damage.
Snap pops the freezes to deal massive damage and create Cold Infusions. These two spells combo off of each other to deal incredible damage.
