ElementalistIF THE POB IS NOT LOADING PROPERLY GO INTO PATH OF BUILDING OPTIONS AND TICK "OPT IN FOR WEEKLY BETA" THIS WILL UPDATE YOUR POB TO 3.28
IMPORTANT ISSUES:
THE MOBALYTICS GEAR VIEW IS BUGGED, IT IS NOT SHOWING THE HELM AND BOOTS WITH THE CORRUPTED IMPLICITS. I'VE REACHED OUT TO GET IT FIXED BUT PLEASE LOAD THE POB THE GEAR IS OKAY IN THERE.
SMALL CORRECTION:
FLAME SURGE CANNOT IGNITE. SO COMBUSTION IMBUE DOES NOT WORK WITH IT, BUT IT DOES WORK WITH FROSTBLINK. SO IF YOU WANT EXTRA SINGLE TARGET DMG JUST FROSTBLINK ON TOP OF THE ENEMY.
You can still keep the combustion imbue on flame surge, since it will automatically support frostblink with it if the 2 gems are linked.
My bad, oops
Intro:
Hellllllo Internet, welcome to the Red Arc Ignite Elementalist. This build is by far one of the most fun and badass builds I've made. It is crazy fun with massive ignite chain explosions, red arc beams, and a very fast blasty playstyle. The build has alot of budget tiers to it, while yes it is not extremely cheap it is still very affordable for what it can do even at the mid budget version. It is a completely 1 button playstyle, only using 
Arc of Oscillating and watching the entire screen blowup, and the only other button is 
Shield Charge and 
Frostblinkfor movement. And of course, a curse for bosses.

How it Works:
Offences:
The build offences revolves around the elementalist 
Shaper of Flames ascendancy making all damage contribute to the damage of ignite. This combined with the new 
Minion Pact Support giving spells a massive amount of added physical damage when it sacrifices a nearby minion, in this case we are using 
Summon Stone Golem of Hordes as it has the highest hp and you can summon Many of them so you have a large pool of sacrificial minions through 
Congregation Support. Those things combined with more from the elementalist package such as 
Liege of the Primordial making the golem army respawn to be sacrificed again, as well as 
Primordial Bond clusters for a big boost of %increased damage to boost the flat damage we're getting from the minion pact support.
This is further scaled by a 
Grace of the Goddess wand that makes that same physical damage be gained as Extra damage of all the elements, which is a Huge boost in damage and all those elements combined with give a massive ignite dot from the Shaper of Flames node too.
Explosion Chaining:
The build uses multiple explode sources to get as big of an explosion chain as possible. This is explained better in the build video it has its own timestamped section.
Budget:
The estimated cost of the build is ~150-200D for the mid budget tier that i showed in the showcase, the pobs above that are all completely market priced it can get more and more expensive if the build gets popular.
Defense:
This is not as tanky as my usual builds. This has capped block, recover ES on block, and a good ES pool, as well as a bunch of minions to body block enemies, and some decent leech with instant leech. Thats basically it. But I have been levelling with this character i was 98, i tinked 99 in juiced breach and am currently half way to 100.
Can you explain the timeless jewel please?
We use an 
Elegant Hubris (Caspiro Supreme Ostentation) where the keystone removes all attribute requirements, making gearing much much easier and the ability to tattoo over all the small pathing nodes for anything the build needs.
The video goes over the specifics better, but tldr you Need 1 chance to block attack damage on the jewel, and as many %minion life as you can get. Try to aim for 1, ideally aim for 2.
How do I Find the Right Timeless Jewel?
I dont have my own video for this yet you will have to search youtube for a guide on how to find timeless jewels with the tool.
MAP MODS?!
"!ilm|efe|eche|tab|reg|rch$|ss are"
This regex is for both t16 and t16.5s or nightmare maps.
The only mod the build cant run is avoid ailments, everything else is Do-able but I have added other mods into the regex that just made it feel bad to play. I have not regexed out reduced chance to block in the above regex because I personally can play reduced block maps, but if you want to turn your brain off more then you can use the following regex this has reduced block as one of the no no mods as well as reduced recovery rate:
"!d ene|% less ar|ilm|efe|eche|tab|reg|rch$"
GEAR ALTERNATIVES?
Please watch the video on the base gear it has to be Seen to properly understand what its doing for this build, i cover everything including any potential expensive and budget options
BOOTS:
The main piece of gear that will be a contested piece are the Boots. You need a +2 minion corrupt on these OR A +1 SOCKETED GEM THAT WORKS TOO ITS THE SAME THING BECAUSE IT BOOSTS EMPOWER, and the best option is a 
Ralakesh's Impatience (Endurance) boot. If you do not want to corrupt these yourself, and the ones on trade get bought out heres a list of what you can use with a +2 minion corrupt instead, in no particular order they are all good in their own way:
Stormcharger
The Tempest Rising
Legacy of Fury
Brinerot Whalers
Windscream
Abberath's Hooves
These are all the relatively good ones, but just get ANY boot. You can even find Rare corrupted boots with res and movement speed with a +2 minion corrupt.
You will have to replace ATLEAST one jewel with a cb immunity jewel if you cant find or make a ralakesh, and if you want endurance charges you can get them through a small cluster with enduring composure. You will have to sacrifice the fire dmg + aoe points on the tree for this.
Forbidden Jewel:
If 
Mindless Aggression jewels are all sold out, then you can just use regular cobalt jewels with %minion life, dot multi, %es, or damaging ailments deal damage faster.
Flasks:
IMPORTANT: THE FLASKS DO NOT NEED TO HAVE "REUSED AT END OF FLASK EFFECT" YOU CAN AUTOMATE THEM WITH "USED WHEN CHARGES REACH FULL"
The build has alot of flask options but I really like how much power unique flasks give to a character like this to blast very very hard with headhunter. My favorite flasks are:
Oriath's End MANDATORY FOR CLEAR SMOOTHNESS
Cinderswallow Urn (Ignited enemies have Malediction) Malediction is VERY powerful, you get this on a Recover %mana on kill version of the flask for better mana sustain for maps where the headhunter gives you soul eater and youre casting a metric ton per second.
Atziri's Promise this gives Alot of extra damage from all the double gain as extra.
Taste of Hate this provides some max res, and more phys gain as extra so overall very good
5th slot for maxxximum single target is a 
Bottled Faith or a 
Quicksilver Flaskwith reduced curse effect and charge recovery for mapping.
If you want you can run a mageblood and use any flasks you want, I have a tides of time in the pob for uber bossing because i still prefer using good up time on unique flasks because theyre just alot of power.
Crafting Help:
Heres a short crafting guide video to help anyone with the very specific gear for the character, please do Not Buy it off trade they are all way too expensive for how much easier it is to craft.
Imbued Gems:
I have a timestamped section of the video where i talk about them in detail, please dont sell your whole stash for a price fixed imbued gem.
Explode Body Armour from the Aspirational POB?
I will make a full separate video on how to make an armour like that.
