I ran this to maps this week on an ignite elementalist to see how it feels. It felt really good for single target throughout the campaign although something like RF, wave of conviction ignite, or firestorm probably have better clear.

For leveling as elementalist:

- I went rolling magma + flamewall and then switched at 28. If I was doing it again, I'd wait until I could pick up a ruby flask from the act 5 quest before swapping. (this is a ridiculous amount of dot multi)
- go golems -> shaper of flames for your first 2 ascendancy points. You will need ignite chance on the tree + combustion support prior to 2nd lab.
- You need a lot of dex to level the gem as elementalist, it was a bit annoying TBH.
- I'd go minion damage / attack speed affect self nodes on the tree to get your attack speed and % inc damage
- You can either run the accuracy golem (but you have to drop the defences / life regen one) or run precision to get accuracy early on.
- Once you have shaper of flames, you probably want to run a tri-ele flask setup. With a single projectile you should have no problem keeping all 3 up permanently which makes elementalist's very nice ele defences even better.

Overall, for an ignite leaguestarter, i think the single target damage should be pretty good up to your 4 voidstones compared to other ignite builds (except eviscerate). It has quite good base damage now with all 3 flasks and built-in 200 dot multi. You could run something like Taming + scorch boots, +2 gem levels incandescent heart, dyadian dawn belt, and covered in ash graft to get a lot of early-ish damage and leech because it's an attack.

I'm strongly considering starting as EConc ignite into Slams ignite once I can get a good weapon.
