3.19 Elementalist Golem Build for Endless Heist

Hi, garf412 here, and this is my levelling guide for this build portrayed in this Path of Building. All gear, the tree and chosen skills have been tested in Standard, SSF and Trade League, it works :D However, if you want to try other things, be my guest, have fun :) Stay Safe in Rogue Harbour. ACT1 = BBR / BB / B / B / B / R (OH = 1 Other ) Killed Hillock from Tarkleigh = Your preferred gem, I brought Purifying Flame, link your gem to Arcane Surge Killed Helrake from Nessa = Summon Phantasm Killed Hellrake from Tarkleigh = Frost Bomb, Frostblink Buy from Nessa = Holy Flame Totem, link to Summon Phantasm After getting Waypoint in the Prison, go back to town From Nessa = Combustion, link to Holy Flame Totem Buy from Nessa = buy a DEX (Jade) Amulet and a Chain Belt (if you haven't found one) Killed Brutus from Tarkleigh = Clarity, do NOT level this.

The Uniques I suggest for the build = Primordial Eminence x3, The Anima Stone = More Golems :D, pretty much a build requirement, may take a few days to get on League Start due to price/Availability Death Rush Ring = We need the speed buff from Adrenaline in Heist Devoto's Devotion = more Speed some other stuff too... Required Level 67. For the Chest piece, you can go with a Rare with the Grevious veiled mod on it, Caracass Jack to buff our Vortex, or Queen of the Forest for speed. NOTE = the QotF will need 5 Blue (off-colour) sockets... you have been warned.. it might be easier to try and get 5 White sockets from a Betrayal Bench Craft, via TFT Discord server. Rare = Lots of Life and Resists, craft the Grevious Veiled Mod on it and lots of Phys Conversion damage... NO Speed though... Set Level to 67 max when searching on Trade, Carcass Jack = Damage, Elemental Resists, easy to get the 5B sockets we need, Damage... NO speed though... Required Level 62 Queen of the Forest = Speed, more speed, some resists, speed, evasion and more speed :) VERY HARD to get 5B we need... 4L is good, 5L can do everything we need it to, 6L is not needed, but that extra DPS... ;) Required Level 59 Also if your running QotF, a Watchers Eye with Increased Movement while affected by Grace and a Vitality mod (your choice, I prefer the flat% life Regen) is heavily suggested. ALT quality BiS gems are (other ALT gems lower our DPS or QoL of the build) = For Vortex setup = Divergent Vortex, Divergent Efficacy, Anomalous Bonechill For Stone Golem Setup = Divergent Multistrike, For Chaos Golem Setup = Divergent Feeding Frenzy For Aura Setup = Anomalous Purity of Elements, Anomalous Defiance Banner, Divergent Vitality For Movement setup = Divergent Frostblink, Anomalous Efficacy (in the Phase Run setup) Buying the Following BIG ticket Items Ashes of the Stars, Aegis Aurora, Headhunter or Mageblood, Corrupted Gear, Corrupted Gems Final thoughts & Notes = There are many ways to play this build, this is the one I have chosen based on my limited testing and hatred of non-permanent minions :) thank you for following me on youtube / Twitter, if you have any queries, please comment on the relevant youtube video or by Discord garf412#9020
