Mapping SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER! - Wave of Conviction Ignite Elementalist Leaguestarter [PoE 3.20]

> FAQ < Why does the PoB say this is a 3.19 tree? Because when this PoB was made PoB wasn't updated to the 3.20 tree yet. Don't worry there's no changes to the tree that matter for this build. Why does casting Flameblast feel so bad? We don't actually use Flameblast in this build, the only reason it's in our links is for VAAL Flameblast. Clearing is done using Wave of Conviction, and you press Vaal Flameblast to nuke bosses and tanky rares out of existence. Why can't I cast Malevolence? We use Eldritch Battery on this build to be able to cast Divine Blessing Malevolence, if you can't cast it you probably don't have enough Energy Shield. To fix this you can: - Get more Energy Shield(on gear, Crystal Belt is really good for example) - Keep your Divine Blessing lower level - Get reduced mana cost of skills - Get divergents Inspiration and/or Divine Blessing I don't have an unset ring, what do I drop? If you don't have an unset ring you should drop Arcanist Brand, and put Flame Dash in its place. Then self-cast the skills that are linked to it. Hey, this is fake dps, you have Ele Overload ticked even though it almost never procs for Vaal Flameblast! Yes, I know this. the only reason this build picks up Elemental Overload is because it's a 1 pointer. You just can't both click EO and disable the damage bonus of it in PoB currently. Can I use Berek's Respite? Yes, if you have one you can replace Ignite Prolif with Empower once you equip it, and with Immolate if you don't have an Empower(although this barely benefits you at that point). Why is Combustion linked to both Vaal Flameblast AND Wave of Conviction? As per this tweet: https://twitter.com/Localldentity/status/1599972537726775296?t=2Pp4QsQgQrvfDUPw3poC0A&s=19 This means that if we cast Vaal Flameblast on a boss, it'd override the highest ignite of Wave of Conviction, thus deactivating the Wave of Conviction Combustion debuff. So we need it on Vaal Flameblast. Since we don't use Vaal Flameblast on every mob while clearing we need it on Wave of Conviction as well, since it's still a top link if we don't have the debuff up yet. > LEVELING < For leveling we start out with Spark until we completed normal lab, try to cast spark while standing in your Orb of Storms, and make sure to use the spell weapon recipe: You can sell a Magic Wand with a Topaz Ring and an Alteration Orb to get a wand with flat lightning damage to spells. This is very nice for damage early on. The tier of flat damage depends on the rarity of the ring you use: - Normal Rarity = lvl 8 requirement - Magic Rarity = lvl 14 requirement - Rare Rarity = lvl 20 requirement Once we've done normal lab we switch to Wave of Conviction, with Fire Trap for some added single target damage. Make sure to enter every single vaal side area after level 28 and to use every Vaal Orb you get on Flameblast, as Vaal Flameblast will feel amazing once we get it. You might still have some lightning damage nodes specced on the tree, don't worry about this too much, just try to slowly spec out of them as you go along. > PLAYSTYLE < The build is designed to be as easy and comfortable to play as possible. While clearing you just cast Wave of Conviction on mobs, and whenever you need some single target you press your Vaal Flameblast button. On bosses you press your arcanist brand that makes sure the boss is cursed and gets Flame Surge applied to it.
