Fubgun Winter Orb Elementalist

Frequently asked questions

Pantheon:

Soul of the brine king while you're elementalist, when you eventually swap to occultist you swap it out for soul of lunaris or solaris.

Minor pantheon can be swapped depending on the content you're doing, generally I like using abberoth for red altars.

---Which bandit?

Alira if you need res, otherwise kill all for +1 passive point - Generally take Alira at the start and swap it out once you have good resistance on gear in the late game.

You can swap between bandits with a vendor recipe, learn more here: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Deal_with_the_Bandits#Changing_the_Bandit_choice

---Elementalist or Occultist?

Elementalist is just by far the superior choice when league starting, occultist has greater scaling but won't feel good until you swap to full ES/Power charge stacking.

The golems from elementalist really carry your early damage, defense and even mana regen. Heart of destruction is also extremely strong for AoE, which worb does need.

---Steelskin vs immortal call?

Steelskin at the start, swap to immortal call when you start stacking ES and go CI. The higher pool you have, the more value immortal call has compared to steelskin.

---Dragonfang vs Pandemonius vs rare amulet.

a +3 winter orb dragonfang is generally the best amulet you can get before power charge stacking, but it'll also be the most expensive.

Pandemonius is very strong if it's cheap, otherwise an amulet with +1 cold skill lvls will be good enough.

Once you swap to power charge stacking nothing will beat Badge of the botherhood

---How do I generate power charges?

Power charge on crit support gem

---How do I generate frenzy charges?

At the start, it'll be through herald of ice with ice bite support, so you wont have frenzys for bosses but it's not a big deal since it's only 3.

Once you swap to badge of the brotherhood, you can take the mark mastery for frenzy charges or get 10% chance to get frenzy charge on hit with your elegant hubris.

If you're doing pure mapping gameplay, than disciple of the slaughter with ice bite on herald of ice is good enough for permament uptime.

---Focused channeling, how do I use this?

Currently this support gem snapshots with winter orb. Meaning if you channel for 3 seconds at the start of the map and never let the worb buff fall off, it'll keep that 60% more damage for the whole map.

Keep in mind only the damage snapshots and not the mana cost, making this gem extremely strong.

---Elegant Hubris

You're looking for any combination of "Increased damage per power charge" "40% to critical strike multiplier" "80% increased spell damage" and "increased energy shield per a power charge"

---Good Rare jewels?

Generally you're just looking for any type of multi that works for this build (global multi, cold multi, spell multi or ele multi).

%max energy shield is nice, but you're ideally looking for 2x multi first.

---Mystic Refractor vs Bitterdream vs Rare Wand

Rare wand is the best option but will also be the most expensive option, it wont beat a Mystic Refractor until you can acquire a double +1 rare wand

Bitterdream is the weakest option here, but will most likely also be the cheapest option. If you do use bitter dream you want to put worb in your weapon slot with Muiltiple projectiles+focused channeling.

So until you swap to power charge stacking, you'll most likely use a Mytstic Refractor, do note you really want +3 projectiles on this weapon

---How to solve ailment avoidance?

Soul of the brine king will give you freeze immune and semi-stun immune. Once you swap to occultist, you'll be stun, freeze and chill immune.

Abberoth pantheon for ignite defense

Charge mastery for shock immune if you want it, but not really needed.

If you end up using mageblood down the line, you can use storm shroud and have 1 flask with 60% chance to avoid being shocked to be completely ailment immune.

---Corrupted blood/bleed immune?

Generally you just buy any rare jewel you can afford for corrupted blood immunity, down the line when you start using unique jewels you'll grab one with CB immune.

Before CI swap, you should be using a life flask with bleed removal.
