Based on the Ichimonji Smite starter Tarke got sent, I've been trying to build my own character based on the idea of using Ichimonji, Aura Effect and Elementalist Golems to buff up Smite.
So far the results seem promising:
2 million unflasked boss DPS (It's doubled because with tribal fury, smite hits the same target twice). The only real concern I have is Golems dying too quickly in maps, cause I have not played an Elementalist with that many Golems before and I have therefor no idea how long they survive.

The idea is using the Keystone Supreme Ego from an Eternal Empure Timeless Jewel which causes 50% more Aura Effect from your Skills, and 50% more mana Reserved, + the fact you can only have one Aura Reserved. Now the nice part is, Smite is an Aura you can still use because it reserves no mana and comes from an attack. Also Herald of Thunder and Blood&Sand both still work, as they are not Auras, so you can reserve them too.
Dual wielding Ichimonji gives you 10% increased effect of all BUFFS you get, that includes golem buffs, blood rage and (afaik) ancestral warchief.
It looks solid on paper, kinda low-ish HP for current day PoE but not unusable.
I'd appreciate any suggestions, and especially anyone who can tell me if Elementalist Golems are not too annoying to use. If they are, you could try different ascendancies, and likely lose quite a bit of effectiveness.
