Path of Building Code

Build Overview

This starter / endgame build revolves around Lightning Tendrils and Elementalist. As always the build is pretty Tonky from the start to the endgame. Leveling section included check out the PoB section for it!

Got slight nerf in 3.30 (lost like 1% damage and tonkiness)

Power, endurance charges

Power Charge

Endurance:

We will get this via Aggressive Bastion Later: Enduring Focus via cluster jewel

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Why elementalist?

Elementalist providing a lot of nice QoL, damage and tonkiness

  1. Golem buffs (cast speed, crti chance, damage increase, tonkiness)
  2. Huge expouse effect thanks to Mastermind of Discord
  3. Gives huge defensive layer via Shaper of Winter 20% less damage taken

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Why not take Shaper of Storms?

Shaper of Storms is very good node when your build doesn't have big hits. Lightning Tendrils hits very hard so reaching 65% shock effects is very easy even on bosses.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

When to take Roiling Tempest

Roiling Tempest is a very strong keystone while you deal higher lightning damage it's also disable any other damage type. Because of that you only want to take it when you weapon doesn't give you cold/fire damage to spells. This is more important early on when you often changing your weapons.

Note: You can still ignite / chill if you have Shaper of Flames or Shaper of Winter

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Defensive layers

  1. Maximum block chance
  2. Huge life / energy shield pool
  3. Endurance charges
  4. Shaper of Winter 20% less damage taken

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Bandits

Help Alira. 15% bonus to all Elemental Resistances. Later swap to Eramir for +1 skill point

This is how you can change it: Bandits change
