POB edited after a few mistakes I didn't catch: https://pastebin.com/LZQsxQAV

Hey there, you might know me from one of my previous guides since I keep more or less the same format.

Made a league starter Ignite Elementalist once again cause I really like the playstyle. Last time I played one I did Flameblast/Armageddon Brand and comfortably killed all endgame bosses with a fairly low budget and mostly self crafted gear.

I'm quite experienced with it so feel free to ask me for alternatives and stuff

TLDR: Deceptively tanky build with safe playstyle cause of brands, good damage on a budget, easy to self craft almost all gear, with good clear cause of ignite prolif and decent boss damage. If u want u can also transition to Rue's Vortex ignite

​

• DPS

1. Armageddon Brand doesn't have amazing Boss dps but it compensates with the clear speed. Swap to Wave of Conviction at around level 90 if you want better bossing. It's almost double the dps of Armageddon Brand but clunkier before u invest a bit.
2. Combustion, flammability, fire exposurefrom gems provide a lot of negative resistance or damage increases.
3. The unique staves Searing Touch and Martyr of Innocence are a lot of ignite dmg and they're really cheap usually on league start so get one of those if you want cheap damage. I do recommend staying with Sceptre + Shield so you can Shield Charge though
4. Gem levels and dot multi from influenced stuff are BIG
5. Elementalist is op as fuck and will get nerfed soon I assume

​

• TANKINESS

1. 6k hp, ignite prolif, Molten Shell, capped spell suppression, high evasion and armour, decent amount of life regen if you use Vitality
2. Ailment immunity
3. Brand playstyle makes us capable of running around while it is damaging the monsters so it is very safe
4. Can get leech from boot enchant if you want or can get leech from the Cluster setup(though I'm not a big fan of Clusters on this build)
5. Bastion of Elements is an option you go the even tankier choice but since im a SC shitter I like shock

​

• GEAR

1. Guide separated by gear slot in the notes of the POB with budget,endgame and unique alternatives. Can self craft almost all of it

​

• MECHANICS/FAQ

1. DO NOT run Penance Brand with Arma Brand since u can only have 1 brand on a target by default. TECHNICALLY you can run it but it's a pain in the ass
2. If you run into mana issues, run a mana flask. Some mana regen mods on items might be enough though. Can easily drop vitality too
3. Flame Surge after casting Main Skill on boss is like 20-25% more dmg since it leaves a Burning Ground based on our Main Skill's Ignite damage
4. Avoid the following map mods: No regen, ele reflect, reduced recovery(doable but rippy enough)
