[3.4] Amigo's Elemental Hit Build -All content viable! (3+ mil Shaper DPS)
🔸🔶 Please Take your time to follow me on Twitch and on YouTube! 🔶🔸 Hello fellow exiles! I am finally back with another build guide! This time we are abusing the INSANELY BROKEN skill, Elemental Hit, that recently in patch 3.3 had a rework. Taking advantage of Conversion and Avatar of fire we are able to aquire massive amounts of damage, which allows us to have both a great offensive, aswell as defensive build. The Build is capable of clearing all endgame content (havent tried Hall of Grandmasters) DISCLAIMER: This Build is not meant for beginners, and require some gear to get started. So i would not try this build unless you have atleast a few exalts ready to spend -But don't worry, it will be worth every penny! ;) And of course, if you got any questions regarding the build be free to ask me ingame at @TheAmigoBoyz_EleShit FAQ

Core Mechanics (explanation from patch 3.3)
So the build is cool and all, but how does it work? -Well it's a little complicated but i'll try my best to answer. Elemental Hit is a skill which adds a ton of elemental damage of each element to the attack. What's special about it, is however, that every time you attack, the skill chooses a certain element, of which you can only deal damage with. So this means, that even though it adds a lot of damage, you can only deal damage with one element at any given time. This does indeed seem pretty bad at first glance, but luckily we have some jewels called "Combat Focus". These Jewels makes us able to force a Elemental Hit to always choose the same element whenever we attack. So what we do is that we use two of these jewels, so that we always deal fire damage. The reason for this, is because we take use of a keystone called Avatar of Fire. This Keystone converts 50% of all damage types to fire, but makes us unable to deal damage with any other element. But since we only can deal fire damage anyways, this doesnt hurt us. Instead it essentially DOUBLES our damage, since we get some of the cold and lightning part, of the skill converted to fire! To make it even better we take use of Call of the Brotherhood aswell as Cold to Fire Support, to maximize the conversion. In total we get:
All in all it gives us a grand total of 2,9 times more damage than the base skill!!! Videos of The Build In Action

THE BUILD: Pros and cons: Pros:
Cons:
The Skilltree:
Skilltrees and different Ascendancy options:
Skilltree + Path of Building Ascendant - Clearspeed version (QOTF + Inspired Learning)
Ascendant - Bossing Version (Kaom's Heart)
Ascendant - No Xoph's Blood (Take AoF)
Note1: you might want to grab additional Int/Resists from the tree if you gear doesnt provide enough -And if you are looking for more DPS, look at the blue areas on the picture above Note2: Unnatural instinct is currently bugged in PoB, the real DPS is higher Ascendancy Point Upgrade order Ascendant
IMPORTANT: as a scion you will have to manually connect the tree and then respec it later once you get the endgame Lab (See the white path on the picture above) Leveling
Leveling Guide
Use the colored skilltree from above! I personally leveled with Rain of Arrows until maps. Elemental hit first starts feeling good once you have such good DPS, that you can afford to use chain with it. Items to look out for to make leveling easier: - Tabula Rasa - Wanderlusts - Temple belt with movespeed during flask effect - Storm Cloud + The tempest - Ring corrupted with "level 21 Wrath" - Abyss Jewels The Bandits We take +2 skillpoints Pantheons
Pantheons
Arakaali (Major) -this one is just OP! It gives us 50% MORE leech, if we have stopped taking damage over time recently (which is almost always, due to our cast when damage taken + immortal call setup, since we are using Blood Rage! Shakari (Minor) -i took this one, because i dont like running into poison clouds with -60% chaos res. Strongboxes killed me, and this is pretty nice imo Gear breakdown:

Jewels
Unique Jewels Combat Focus: These are essential for the build, as we use them to make sure that Ele Hit always chooses fire damage. Even though they have been nerfed in 3.4, they are still mandatory for the build. Might of the Meek: These Jewels are really good, if placed correctly. Place these in the jewel sockets in the Scion starting area, to drasticly boost your life, crit multi and attack speed!. Unnatural Instinct: This is the most broken jewel in the game, if you can get your hands on it. Paired with 2x Might of the Meek jewels, this jewel gives us a whopping 82% crit multi, 16% movementspeed, 26% attack speed and 8% life. Note: Make sure to path on the spell damage nodes when using this. Lioneye's Fall: This jewel is just crazy... It allows us to take the claw nodes, for a lot of free leech, aswell as crit. Once i swapped to this jewel, i could definitely feel the slayer leech kicking in. With this jewel, i'm able to stand for almost 20 seconds after i hit a pack, regenerating 40-60% life per second. Rare jewels: If you have some jewel sockets left, you want rare jewels with Attack speed with bows, maximum life and crit multiplier. Since Elemental hit is tagged both fire, cold and lightning, getting crit multi on jewels is pretty easy. Abyss Jewels: On Abyss jewels you don't want added damages since we have so much added damage from the skill itself. Instead, rather focus on attack speed, life and crit multiplier Gem links: (Gems are in order of importance) AoE Clear Elemental Hit - GMP - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Mirage Archer - Chain - Increased Critical Strikes/Cold to Fire Single Target (this is a 4link since we have the gems in our frostferno) Elemental Hit - Elemental Damage With Attacks - Combustion - Fire Penetration CWDT/Aura Grace/Haste - Cast When Damage taken (lvl. 1) - Immortal Call (lvl. 3) - Increased Duration Auras Herald of Ash - Blood Rage - Blink Arrow - Faster Projectiles I make mirror tier items, I don't rlly play the actual game.

" nice guide m8, crazy dps! |

Hi Amigo!
Nice guide! Yesterday respected from a full abyss barrage-TS into EleHit. Use Slayer-Raider variant as well, but slightly different approach. Here is my PoB link - https://pastebin.com/NkWRCSwX I tried variant with Might of the Meek but ended up with a bit more heath(about +200hp) and -1kk dps, actually don't see the point behind it My gear
Spoiler
I am using Tombfist and Bubonic, don't have problems with resists but have issues with sockets ) Thinking about replacing Bubonic, but it reduces my dps by 500k Any thought on what to improve except for +8 Frostferno? ) Also, I don't see much point in using curses against Shaper/Guardians. They have 80% resist to curses For clearing trash I have enough dps without any curse. Maybe I am wrong there, idk Editado por útlima vez por Krelian6 en 25 jul. 2018 8:12:24

" Ill take a look once im home, but damn your gear is crazy! Also, i'd try and get a chin sol with base crit instead of arrows, and then just swap bow whenever you go from clear to single target I make mirror tier items, I don't rlly play the actual game. Reddit hates me. I'm not cool.

Is there a way to league start this build? I want to try it for the upcoming race, is there a core of the build that can function without the upgrades??
|
|
" I think it will be hard as a league starter to go for Ele Hit at start, but making a scion and then going Tornadoshot or something, where you then respec later will be the best idea :) -Cause the skilltree works for any bow skill I make mirror tier items, I don't rlly play the actual game. Reddit hates me. I'm not cool.

Am I being retarded, or are your PoB gems placed incorrectly?

Love the build, but i cant seem to work out where the second combat focus goes? probably overlooking something really simple, but where's the 40 total STR/INT?
