3.28 Penance Brand Ignite Elementalist Autobomber

Penance Brand Ignite Elementalist is a fast, tanky, strong all-around character in both single target and clear. Using Lost Unity in combination with a slew of herald skills causes our clear to be mostly 0-button, which Penance Brand being used only on a stray rare that didn't explode or bosses.

Earlygame: Your most imporant first purchases will be an Aegis Aurora and Grace of the Goddess in combination with Oriath's End. You can push an even lower budget by using a Obliteration instead of this combination to cover both damage and the explosions we want. In addition to these a Cinderswallow Urn (ES on Kill) varient is a massive amount of both damage and mapping recovery, pick up an "enemies ignited have malediction" varient when budget allows.

Midgame: Here we swap out our regular clusters with Voices (Adds 5 Small Passive Skills). The 5 passive varient is very affordable and can be upgraded later as a luxury. We then use 6 medium cluster jewels with Empowered Envoy and Endbringer. We also craft a very cheap and easy Archdemon Crown with only elder influence, which I will leave a crafting guide for in the gear section.

Our primary skill is Penance Brand which attaches to an enemy and has a delayed explosion. While this would normally feel clunky for mapping Lost Unity solves this by taking care of 99% of clear by itself, with Penance Brand only being used on a stray rare that didn't explode or Unique enemies.

For mapping just Shield Charge around and explosions will clear most of everything.

For single target use Penance Brand curse with Flammability and use Flame Surge after Penance Brand detonates to create a strong burning ground effect based off the damage of your ignite.

Lost Unity Causes a damaging pulse around you based on how many ailments you have inflicted recently up to 50 stacks. This will automatically be at or near 50 at all times while mapping just by Shield Charge -ing around. It also grants a more damage multiplier based on the number of herald skills you have active, which also scales with herald effect. This is why we want as much herald effect as possible, so Elementalist 's Bringer of Ruin combined with several Empowered Envoy medium cluster jewels is a powerful scaling vector.

Shaper of Flames Allows all damage to ignite, so our Penance Brand 's damage type does not matter and we aim to stack as much "physical as extra x Element" modifiers as possible, making items likeGrace of the Goddess or Obliteration extremely powerful.
