[3.29] 3 Stone Hexblast Ignite Elementalist

Base build was inspired by Paak's. I did make a few changes. First character to fail Maven I played sloppy, probably shouldnt do it first thing in the morning but tried to fit in while kids were asleep My damage felt much lower than expected Life recovery is pretty flask reliant I personally think spell block > spell suppress these days As long as you have enough of a max hit and dont try to tank big spells 75% DR is better than 40% DR Dont let the failed Maven deter you I would normally start overgearing after 2 stones but I want to get better at Shaper and Maven while undergeared The first 2 stones are also the most important as you get more altar rewards and expectional gems unlocked Most of my deaths came from doing Formed and Twisted Maven invites and the Fire based elder guardian (I think shaper of flames makes his ignites do a lot more damage but was mostly solved with an ignite flask) With a few focused upgrades you can really boost the damage Ex. EE Sceptre from Heist, Make sure you have some flat cold/lightning and no flat fire to spells and you get a automated -25% Exposure Doing Breach for some uniques such as Rebuke of the Vaal to use with spellblade Overall build thoughts I like Impending Doom ignite more but this was a fun way to farm to it For Impending Doom you just need to do some breach for Foulborn Doedre's Scorn and then either more breach or manor rush for Vixen's I think I prefer this to P Brand Ignite for mapping on league start (Hearld of the Hive mapping is giga comfy) I had gone EB/MoM as I wanted to have full Ele Weakness uptime by making it a second Blasphemy curse. Otherwise you dont have great uptime on it You have to take the Mana Reservation mastery and take reservation path on Whispers of Doom to fit it I do personally like Eva/ES with EB MoM as they pair nicely together, I havent tried spell supression in a bit so I wanted to give that a shot again as well I would go spell block instead next time Pathing to Arcane Guarding and Safeguard and probably using Tempest Shield over Flesh and Stone Shaper of Flames Paak did not use this but I think even as a defensive node its worth it early You do not get much ele conversion early on and getting 40% phys to ele conversion right away is really strong on a non armour build Unbound Ailments This is a really good support when you take Shaper of Storms PoB doesnt calc the shock correctly with it but it takes you from a 32% to a 45% And then gives you more ignite duration as well Grace and Malevolence Grace for Mapping Malevolence for Bossing Vaal Smite Adds a good amount of flat and has decent uptime while mapping It does PoB Warrior DPS for extended boss fights I didnt realize Vaal Smite had hits cannot be evaded build in and due to that I might use it in more builds Overall good ignite mapping build straight into maps, would swap to Impending Doom after 2 stones
