PoE Avatar of Fire, Elementalist builds

Here we go, concept of a build I'm toying since this evening, after someone threw at me the idea of melee elemental hit, me answering it was shit, him holding his ground, and me checking a bit more and finding insane synergies about it. Concept of the build: \- Elementalist, because the damage is just that good and shaper of storm is clutch. Slayer is an alternative. \- Elemental hit, replacing your weapon with an attack doing a large amount of flat damage. You use the usual suspect to block cold and lightning, even if I toyed w

Hello pob warriors!The current meta is boring me terribly so I wanted to create something of my own. In my poe career I've always had it happen that in some league someone created a very cool starter but in the next league it was already unplayable when I wanted to play it (I'm talking about you guys... flameslinger and burning arrrow...)

Criticism and tips are very much appreciated.

POB pastebin: Build: spellslinger bladefall/blade blast I have 2 sets of gear, everything with starter_X is for leveling/early game, should be stuff really cheap and easy to get a hold of. things listed as target_X are the crafts that I'm going to be working towards obtaining. Nothing ridiculous checked, should be pretty solid DPS, clear will be meh until explode chest, but boss damage should be very good. I'd like to get feedback on it if people have suggestions or things I overlooked.
