EPTAnd if you are not playing HC, Elementalist will be much more fun to play, even with life focus.

Doing a bit of research on stuff: Gems: Links ordered by importance
Bandits:
Passives: something like this (Link) I guess? Plan is probably to make my way towards ancestral totem and grab that as soon as I get Flameblast (not before obv). | ||

Have Lightning Golem as your main one. Damage is least of your problem with Flameblast, especially with two of them. If you are HC, take Purity and Enfeeble instead. | ||

Probably would also take controlled destruction over inc AOE if you take templar + witch AOE clusters (haven't looked at your tree). You can link Anger with generosity for extra totem dps (should work according to the wiki). I'd also link Orb of Storms with increased critical strikes to proc elemental overload. Double offensive curses is probably overkill. You definitely want lightning golem for the cast speed. Your totems will oneshot most stuff anyway -- the windup is the issue. Also as a warning. Totems don't aggro on raging spirits so beware of some Haku missions and cruel kaom fight if you go dual totem early (they will take damage if the get caught in the blast). | ||

He's Flameblast TOTEM, why would he die to reflect. If anything I'd use Blasphemy + Temp Chains/Enfeeble for if you have survivability problems. | ||

Might as well go ahead and steal from Smuft directly, any of his Elementalists should give a reasonable overview. Don't ask me why he seems to love Cruel Prep so much tho. =P | ||

Guess recasting them is a better idea. xD On December 16 2016 00:05 r.Evo wrote: Might as well go ahead and steal from Smuft directly, any of his Elementalists should give a reasonable overview.

Chains (and Enlighten). His aura of choice is discipline as he seems to run his Eles as CI. Not sure about that CI stuff. Think I tried it once, ages ago. Transitioned into it too early and died all the time. :D edit: I'll prolly start out life based and run haste instead of disc.. might try to transition later. | ||

CI is a bit rough to get into first (cause you still want an okay-ish amount of ES and a 5L) but once you're in there it's amazing. If you want to give it a try I'd recommend to not go for a crazy amount of Lifenodes (so respec'ing is easy later on) and just be hybrid for a while. 3k HP + 2-3k ES carries you deep enough into maps till you can finance the rest of your ES gear. Collect that gear over time and then respec once your ES with it on & Discipline is 5-6k+ ES. 300+ Helm / 300+ Shield / 500+ Chest with boots/gloves as shitslots if you're desperate for resists + resist jewels should be a reasonable place to start. | ||

Sure, life works but effectively you lose massive amounts of pool, at least one flask and you won't leech either way. In yellow maps the difference won't be huge but I'd be careful with reds when life based.

Probably this is now my own unique build, it works and it is fun. It does not own bosses but does decent and it can clear maps fast. I shield charge once, cast one Spectral Throw and shield charge away. Everything dies from combinations of Arcs and burning and proliferation. For me it is slower as I stay around to pickup stuff but I think people that just zip around maps would enjoy this a lot. I have to try to speedrun one map and then come back later to pick up everything. What yellow map is good for speed clearing test? (Although using Cyclone with this build was fun because of using one skill for movement and attacking, I think combination of Shield Charge and Spectral Throw ends up even faster; the biggest penalty is that Fortify does not work with ST). | ||
