PoE 3.3 Elementalist Build | Use Poet's Pen

This build uses Lightning Warp and Arc, socketed in 2x The Poet's Pen wands, to be able to speed-obvious maps. Although this is Not really a cheap or beginner build (startup price of 1-2 exalted orbs), it ought to be easy to make use of this character like a league-starter and gradually acquire all the necessary pieces.

This build clears maps quicker than the standard Unearth   Bodyswap   Volatile Dead combo and depends on Ball Lightning + Arc for single target. Defenses include ~7k eHP with Mind over Matter, and Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics. Using the changes to Elementalist, Ball Lightning shocks opponents a large number of occasions per second, that has incredible synergy using the Mind from the Council helmet. This build is capable of doing clearing basically all content, including Grandmasters, Shaper and Uber Elder.

Strengths & Weaknesses

+ Clears maps faster than VD + Bodyswap
+ Enough DPS for endgame (Shaper, red elder, Hall of Grandmasters, all maps to t16)
+ Tanky enough for all softcore purposes (7k eHP, Acrobatics, instant leech)
+ Easy to replace several gear pieces with magic find gear

- Moderately expensive, not the best league-starter
- Cannot do elemental reflect maps

Build Mechanics

Poet's Pen
The Poet's Pen wand triggers a socketed spell when utilizing a panic attack (Default attack, Craze, Barrage). If holding two Poet's Pens, one spell from each wand is triggered concurrently when a panic attack can be used. Each Poet's Pen spell includes a cooldown of .25ms. Which means that you can't concurrently trigger exactly the same spell socketed in 2 Poet's Pens (i.e. basically have ball lightning in Pen#1 and ball lightning in Pen#2, just one is going to be cast per attack).

Beacon of Ruin
This Elementalist ascendancy node really helps make the build tick. Elemental proliferation enables the build to shock entire packs of monsters - without them, Arc would only shock 7 monsters within the pack. This will be significant due to Inpulsa's Damaged Heart - when each and every monster within the monster pack explodes, it leads to extremely powerful and satisfying pack clears.

Mind over Matter
This node has great synergy using the Mind from the Council helmet, especially as this build shocks opponents a large number of occasions per second. It enables the build to scale as much as 7k effective HP. To get the most from your brain over Matter node, 70% of existence pool ought to be Existence and 30% ought to be Mana. Another guideline you should use is, Mana = 43% of existence. I.e., for those who have 4900 existence, you'll need 2100 mana.

FAQ

Must I play this build being an Ascendant?

Ascendant - Elementalist only will get 10% minimum shock. Ultimately, this will cause the Ascendant form of the build to simply achieve about 20-25% shock against endgame bosses. After thinking about the additional jewel sockets from Scion, along with the Inquisitor subclass nodes, an Ascendant will get approximately exactly the same DPS and existence total being an Elementalist.

The advantage of Ascendant is it also will get immunity to elemental reflect. However, it doesn't get innate Elemental Proliferation. This ultimately causes the build to become slower at clearing maps. (Example: Inquisitor without Elemental Proliferation clearing a Minotaur map - it's slower compared to Elementalist clearing Minotaur) This is often somewhat resolved through getting a Poet's Pen with Elemental Proliferation corruption, and socketing Arc in it. Despite that item, the clearspeed is slower.
