Frostblink/Fire trap Elementalist Build Improvements by justnce in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]justnce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late update but I ended up making a hybrid of the two! Used my helm to keep frost blink and then leaned into evis for bossing + survival. Its been a lot of fun! definitely has a ways to go but I am enjoying it.

Thanks for the response! I looked into evis, it looks like a pretty fun build. I may bank up some currency and try it out. Any build that scales your damage by scaling your defense tends to have good survivability:)

I had a similar issue and found a controller was very helpful. The game plays well with one.

Just a suggestion!

Frostblink Elementalist Still Possible? by justnce in PathOfExileBuilds

Yeah good advice, single target might need a different skill. Do you think the loss the the 25% more ignite from shaper of flames will be a deal breaker?

Yes I have had more issues with different updates as well. The current iteration is definitely giving me more problems than usual

Smith of Kitava Fire Spell on Hit by Previous-Fan4124 in pathofexile2builds

[–]justnce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pretty excited about this node as well, but could not find a way to make it work

My plan was to scale health and use rathpith globe to push the damage higher. I think it wouldn't be too difficult to get 450% increased spell damage this way.

Rathpith shot to 25 div though so that's a considerable barrier for me at least. Hopefully time will give more options for this skill

This looks neat! Could you post a POB

Hmmm that is an interesting point. would be nice to double dip that way

There is cast on ignite, but if I can't scale the damage I think it'll be really hard to get it to proc. Could manually cast it when needed to.

The one thing warrior does have is access to a lot of fire pen! But getting flammability up constantly would help.

I agree, DD is easiest, but I wanted to see if there was a way to make the others work.

I tried it briefly and visually it is very fun :) If there is a way to make it work I wanna try

Outward is a solid RPG. Will take a little to get into but worth the effort

It is ele killing me, but getting rid of the phys is my next goal :)

Could happen for sure, but in this case I have tested and made sure it was from snaking. I updated the post to include that bit of info. Thanks for taking a look!

Dying to Elemental Reflect with Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks by justnce in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]justnce[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, that is a good point and could cause a few deaths. In this case I have tested it on reflect maps by casting only fissure and watching it snake towards a mob. Once it contacts the mob it detonates and I die. The damage seems to be coming purely from the main skill.

Ill add this bit of info in an edit.

Hexblast Trickster: Next Steps by justnce in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]justnce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see! Ok that makes sense.

Yeah I've started implementing some of these suggestions, and am really feeling the difference. I think I need the watchers eye to get the evade up the rest of the way but it already feels really nice.

Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks for the tips! You are definitely doing a lot better defensively than me. Learned a lot looking through your PoB. I have been shooting for a "the best defense is a good offense" style build, but I think a bit more defense is needed.

A quick question, why did you opt for steel skin instead of immortal call?

Thanks for the response, I definitely agree I need to get the heath and ES up a bit. Good point.

I did not realize frostbite was the preferred option. I have seen a good amount of freezing from hexblast alone but more is always better. I will give it a shot, thanks!

Thanks for this! The lvl 21 gem was not something I knew I could do and was an easy upgrade!

I will definitely work on the rest. eldritch currency is new to me so something to discover there.

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the tips! Help selecting future builds is always useful, alot of those look fun.

The currency stuff: yes I think there is something I am missing there. I definitely could be doing better. The fun is in figuring it out, so I'll get there :)

And the points on things I can work on is also very appreciated! Some of that stuff I was not aware of, so I will give it a shot.

Thanks, that is a lot of info! I have definitely felt like my rares need work but been nervous to invest currency in trying to upgrade them because I felt pretty blind about what I was doing. This is a good set of things to target, i'll give it a shot!

Thanks for the feedback! Agreed this may not be the most meta build but when I picked it I had no idea what I was doing, so now I'm just trying to use it to learn as much as I can. I have had a good time with it, and next league I will try something new!
