Herald Stacking Ignite Penance Brand - 3.28 Trial of the Ancestors Phrecia Event!

BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ELEMENTALIST PREVIOUS PHRECIA BUILD WAS PBOD (Penance Brand of Dissipation) -This has since been nerfed significantly, my recommendation is to play Ignite + Normal Penance Brand instead. ALL DAMAGE IGNITES IS GONE... KIND OF? -Elementalist has All damage Ignites without any situational requirements -Herald has the same buff but needs to kill something to trigger it -This means you will want Worm Flask, Worm Ring, or Penance Mark Ring -Another solution is to invest into Ignite Chance and use Stormfire Ring or Foulborn Dyadia's Dawn WHILE SITUATIONAL ELEMENTAL CONFLUX IS BETTER FOR MAPPING -Elemental Conflux gives a decent amount of dot multi, effect of damaging ailments, and it also applies guranteed Shocks, Ignites, and Chills. YOU LOSE OP GOLEM EFFECTS... THIS DOES HURT QUITE A BIT (though you can get it back from Ascendancy Tatoo as last node?) -One big effect of this is mana regen will be more annoying especially early on. -You lose quite a bit of damage from Flame Golem, and Chaos Golem as well. -IT DOES free up 4 extra skill slots, which can be used to gain the damage back. EASILY RUN ALL HERALDS (including HoAG) -The downside of not being able to use Auras, doesn't really hurt that much, and it also allows you to run every Herald without any investment. -You can still run Tempest Shield, Arctic Armor OVERALL A BIT WEAKER, BUT MAYBE STRONGER IF YOU STEAL A GOOD 4TH NODE -There's a lot of good Witch Ascendancy nodes that can be stolen that would make the character quite insane. -Golems from Elementalist, Herald Buff from Elementalist, or Occultist Chaos Pops would all be pretty ridiculous. -Damage will be lower early on, and the loss of golems does make the character slightly harder to play, but mapping with Elemental Conflux is quite good.
