Path of Building Code

Build Overview

This starter / endgame build revolves around Explosive Trap 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,frenzy and endurance charges

Power and Frenzy

Charged Traps Support will give us both

Endurance:

We will get this via Inexorable if you feel need early on. Later via cluster jewel: Enduring Composure

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

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 Flames
  4. Huge shock effect Shaper of Storms

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

Defensive layers

  1. Maximum block chance
  2. Huge life / energy shield pool
  3. Endurance charges
  4. Shaper of Flames 40% phys taken as fire.
  5. Later ES on block as well

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

Shaper of Flames

Shaper of Flames with traps still provides the defensive part. Test

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

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
