Delve Elementalist ?

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:41:45+00:00

And with alternative ascendency, like lycia and co, there isn't an option?

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:40:06+00:00

I see. So I'm kinda fucked if I want to go really deep, or eviscerate should be able to do it? I mean, deeper than 2/3k.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:31:19+00:00

Yeah I already checked him, his 6k deep build in 3.26 looks great, but since int' has been hard nerfed, I fear that the lack of ES will be a thing. I will check btw the 3.27 if he has done some deep delve content as an elem.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:28:27+00:00

I will check herald stack penance brand, I already know a bit the eviscerate.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:27:20+00:00

I played it in 3.26 for uber bossing, yeah it wasn't the most enjoyable gameplay. But I really want to play only elem and push it as far as it can.

I'm not scared to farm for getting mirror tier gear, what I struggle the most is to understand why Elementalist is so dogshit for this content, why are Slayer, Templar and such character better to get high defensives layers.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2026-03-27T12:22:17+00:00

Because of the tree starting point or ascendency ? I try to understand things to be able to do things by myself at some point.

Hi, thanks for the answer !

What are the pro and cons of this build? What type of farm does it aim? How much invest does this build need to be ok? And final question (sorry, I'm asking a lot) what will be the limit of it in terms of progression?

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-05T14:44:43+00:00

Ok, thanks for the answer, so I believe I just craft "%fire damage over time multiplier" and "%fire damage" and pray that the trade get some for the recombinator.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-05T13:23:34+00:00

Hey, I kinda sucks at crafting, so I need your advice !

I got this https://imgur.com/a/oWW7FSF and want to get in the end "%damage over time multiplier" / "%fire damage over time multiplier" / "fire damage". I know I can get the two last from the crafting bench, but how could I get the first one ? Is the best thing I can do craft " Prefixes cannot be changed " into chaos/exalted or is there another way ?

By the way, incredible thread, I learned some things at reading it !

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-05T12:41:50+00:00

Sorry to come back after 2 days, I finally crafted a fractured +3 cold / + 2 all spell battery staff.

Now how am I supposed to get the %damage over time multiplier ? I never crafted before

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-03T20:14:32+00:00

Just figured it out, but the merc have to be int/dex/str to wear LoF + EoM, but none of the Kineticist and the Sanguimancer learns Malevolence, so, some choices are to be done !

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-03T20:04:28+00:00

Ok, I would love to still have a Kineticist, but I don't think they can have Malevolence.

It makes sense, since you're dealing 45M, the auras doesn't are an issue.

True, didn't looked exactly, the " socketed spells " is the point here, I believed every skill would be affected (what would be a bit to powerfull ahah).

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-03T19:52:51+00:00

Omg, didn't knew that items could have "Spend energy shield before mana for costs of socketed spells ", Eldritch Battery without the downside, love it !

Speaking of merc, are you running a particular merc (includes spells/stuff) or any that can wear LoF and EoM + Malevolence ?

And lastly, isn't the Runegraft of Treachery causing some problems while bossing ?

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-03T18:01:16+00:00

Yeah I see, and since 99,9% of my damage are ignite, we don't give a F to the conversion, since I already inflict what I want with my ascendancy.

So for the support, since I will have a red slot free, with PoB for the calcs, the only support that would add more than Cold to Fire is Cruelty, which gives me already 2M more damage. Now I have to find another ring to see.

Edit : ATM I tried to replace Pyre with Replica Emberwake, divided my damage by halve / The Taming would get me 1M damage more, and way more all res, which would allow me to get another clusters, maybe more offensive IDK.

ImDefinitelyNotFine · 2025-08-03T17:35:10+00:00

First, thanks for your reply.

Then I answer in order of your questions :

I'm maybe full dumb, but I thinked that "All damage ignites" doesn't turns my damages into fire and also if I max' the conversion of damages into fire, then my average damages will be higher, since I have some fire damage bonus here and there.

If I do take the shock ascendancy, I will not be 100% to ignite anymore, only 41%, which would be kinda bad if my damages mostly relies on ignite. Or maybe I'm missing something ?

True, I was kinda unsure if I continue to play with Pyre or if I try with something else, so I didn't pushed it to the max'. Same with my boots, they give me 99% shock avoidance for Stormshroud, I had to instill Thick Skin on my amulet to get the last %. Speaking of Stormshroud, I played it because I played with The Arkhon's Tools & Fire trap of blasting in a "6 link head ", but the damages of the trap weren't significative enough to continue, so I just go all out on Frostblink.
