With the additions to Ignite in the Marauder area, it's now worth exploring pathing almost to Champion for an Ignite attack Elementalist. While the standard Ignite Elementalist league starter is EA Ballistae, this is a viable yet off-meta take on an Ignite bow build that should be pretty tanky for a bow character.
Some niche interactions discovered that fulfil this build's "cute" character for me:
- Elementalist's Heart of Destruction is great for Frostblink's cooldown;
- Frostblink can still be used while immobilised by Vaal Arctic Armour;
- Manaforged Arrows can trigger the moment you spend any mana if supported by Lifetap (but it doesn't work if you spend ES);
- You can get the benefit of "if equipped body armour all has armour/evasion" by benchcrafting on flat armour or evasion as the case may be. This means you can still use the EV/ES Blizzard Crown basetype but still benefit from +1% max res.
