Elementalist Reap - An Outline Of My Planned League Starter - Path of Exile 3.14 Ultimatum POE

Preliminary (incomplete) Path of Building setup seen in this video follows. PLEASE NOTE - This was done before Path of Building was 3.14 ready: https://pastebin.com/4CPnqcSm (just copy the part after the https)

I'm planning to leaguestart as Reap, and choosing the Elementalist as it scales all sorts of damage very well.

This is a build OUTLINE only. If people request something more comprehensive, I'll update it once it's been tried and tested.

Low level tips: This build first comes online around Act 4 when you get access to golems, Reap, Brutality and Efficacy. Until that point, you can use Summon Skeletons or Fireball or Fire Trap or really anything else.

Essential Ascendancy Points: Liege of the Primordial, Elemancer (take these first, they are essential)

Optional Ascendancy Points: Choose TWO of Shaper of Storms, Shaper of Winter, Bastion of Elements

Cluster jewels to chase: 8 or 9 node large clusters, 10% minion damage, with Primordial Bond (any other mods are a bonus) 6 mod small clusters, 4% damage over time multiplier or 4% phys damage over time multiplier, with anything that increases the overall amount of DOT multi you can get 3 mod life clusters, as good as possible

Weapons: You probably want to swap to 2x Cold Iron Point or 1x CIP and 1x shield, although at the time of recording we cannot be sure (level 26 gem stats aren't known)

Helm: A bone helmet with +2 to level of socketed minion gems and whatever other good mods you can get with it

Amulet: Get the Primordial Chain as soon as you can afford it (it is a huge bonus)

Rings: Use these to solve gear problems (life/resists/stats). Delve phys damage leech is great but hard to get.

Gloves: Low end, use these to solve problems. Higher end, you want Elder Physical Damage over Time Multiplier and/or the Essence mod '30% increased damage over time for gems socketed in this item'

Boots: Life/resist/movespeed

Chest: Start with a Tabula or a 5 link with stats. Look to maybe upgrade to Expedition's End at medium budget or Replica Farrul's Fur or two-implicit corrupted Skin of the Loyal at an extreme budget.

Jewels: Anima Stone is expensive but excellent. Use it with 2x Primordial Eminence when you can afford that lot. This might take 100 maps to be able to afford.

Core Socketed Gems: Chest: Reap - Brutality - Efficacy - Controlled Destruction - Cruelty - (one of Empower, Swift Affliction, Lifetap, this will take experimentation to work out) Helm: 4 Golem gems Stone, Chaos, Fire, Lightning Gloves: Corrupting Fever - Brutality - Efficacy - Increased Duration (warning: this costs over a thousand life to cast) Boots: The last golem (Ice), Malevolence, any desired utility (Decoy Totem, Void Sphere, etc) Weapons: Flesh and Stone - Maim in one. Flame Dash - Second Wind - Arcane Surge in the other

You can buy some POE microtransactions and/or games from my Nexus store, and I'll get a cut. Link: https://www.nexus.gg/sirgog I also have a merch store at https://merch.streamelements.com/sirgog if you want to buy anything there and can take tips at https://streamelements.com/sirgog/tip
