PoE Elementalist builds without Headhunter, Mageblood

Welcome exiles, There's been a lot of interest in this sub for divine ire ignite thanks to the recent elementalist rework. I've spent way too much time theorycrafting and absorbing everything people discussed here (slurp), so I thought I would share my version. (already posted it in response to another thread but I thought it deserved its own thread, and I tidied up a few things since then). So here the focus is on survivability, because I'm really not convinced the other versions posted here are reasonable on that aspect (sorry creator of the "tankyer version", we still love you <3 ), an

Here is a rough POB setup for frost bomb. A lot is missing and could be improved, but all things considered I don't think it is that bad... Gotta set up its defenses though if I want to use it. I am looking for general thoughts on it. I know it is missing a lot, I'm relatively new to making POBs so I still don't know where to add everything or how to make reasonable rares.

Could use Despair or Elemental Weakness. Despair will add a bit of extra chaos damage to the hit and might work better against bosses. Need to figure out how I will get multiple curses out. Witchfire Brew, Bane, Vixen's Entrapment are all options. Probably going with Witchfire Brew though. Could use Flame Wall as an additional damage skill. Support with high Spell Damage Multipliers. (Searing Bond used as a Place Holder) Hexblast Ignite Calculation Hexblast - Archmage - Burning Damage - Deadly Ailments - Ignite Proliferation - Added Lightning/Combustion Dark Pact is used to Simulate Hexblas

So here's my build for the league. I don't want to say it's min-maxed, but it's pretty optimistic in terms of gear... I'm hoping harvest crafting is still OP, but if it isn't, it's easy to make this build into a heavily nerfed budget version. Some notes... -2.5million Righteous Fire DPS with a massive 47 AOE radius (45 without helm enchant). No concentrated effect. Socketed in a double influenced Shaper/Elder helm (I'm not sure if this is possible to craft since I haven't needed to make an item like this yet). A cheaper Elder helm can be used. -7.5million Scor

Perhaps Lowlife? Would this feel bad without playing Assassin Crit? I'm pretty interested in Heart of Destruction for larger explosions, Shaper of Storms for guaranteed/better shocks, and Bastion of Elements for damage absorption. What are your thoughts? &x200B; I've changed direction to focus on the golem route. Here's what I'm working with so far. Any thoughts?

As I approach the end of the league, I would like to share my most recent creation: the HoT Primordial Bomber. This turned out to be a very enjoyable build, very fast mapping and very tanky. And for those who used to play a Thunder Sorc in D2 and liked teleporting into packs of cows, this one is for you!
