Build Overview

Hey guys here is a written physdot elementalist guide for 3.27 leaguestart.

Rue saw the buffs to Reap and Exsanguinate and decided to cook up elementalist physdot! I have been testing this build quite a bit and worked with him to find the best early progression for the build and made a tankier setup for the endgame hc players at the cost of some damage.

This is an armour/energy shield version of the build that gets a large pool of life/es and caps out spell and attack block. You can also run Aegis Aurora for defense lategame before very high end shields.

regex for links/ms/phys wand:

"b-b-|-b-b|b-.-b|g-g-r|g-r-g|r-g-g|:.*(?=\S*r)(?=\S*g)(?=\S*b)|r-b|b-r|g-r|r-g|Runn|rint|me Sh|Litho"

Putting this here so no one misses it:

LEVEL REAP/EXSANG AND CORRUPTING FEVER IN YOUR OFFHAND. Try to get Vaal Reap early from trade or vaal side areas to level.

The earliest you can swap to the build is after cruel lab but I would suggest just swapping at maps.

Feel free to ask me or rue questions. twitch.tv/imexile or twitch.tv/ruetoo

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • High damage when entering maps with 1-2 mod items
  • Golems give a lot of QOL
  • Elementalist can transition into many high end builds
  • Smooth leveling
  • Life cost and cast speed early can be annoying when selfcasting
  • Outscaled when you invest a lot of currency
  • Poet's pen/Haemo price could be higher if meta
  • Full gem swap at maps

This setup is an alternative wander farm that is EXCEPTIONAL at clearing legion or speeclearing t16 maps with kinetic blast, i would suggest pivoting to this for t16 farming. 2x Inspired Learning can work perfectly fine. Vulnerability in the Mark of Submission.

How it Plays

On both versions you press Corrupting Fever at the start of the map, using your abilities will maintain this buff so no need to repress it.

For selfcast, you clear with Exsanguinate Chain Support. For some tanky rares you may need to use Reap or Vaal Reap.

For The Poet's Pen version, you just spam kinetic blast and it will use all of your dot abilities automatically.

On bosses you maintain both of your phys dots as best you can, also use Vulnerability if still selfcasting.
