PoE Elementalist, Shaper of Flames builds

I saw a comment somewhere about a fire trap ignite build. So I made a quick POB: It seems decent with the old numbers. The dot will be increased by roughly 33% (2934.9 -> 4170.7), while the ignite portion will hopefully stay the same, with the 28% nerf and the base damage compensation. Any suggestions for improvements? I tried scaling both parts at the same time with: fire damage, burning damage and fire dot multi.

Explosive Arrow: Now has "Explosion deals 5% more Damage with Hits and Ailments per Explosive Arrow on Target" (previously just Hits). Change Hydrosphere to have a one second cooldown before it can be hit again. This maintains the ailment mechanic on Hydrosphere to still allow for some special skill interactions but is no longer such a significant single target damage multiplier for so many skills. I have been playing EA Totems in the Deli HCSSF event and was fairly successful with it. The build was hit-based, and with the change to Hydrosphere I doubt it will be competitive with ot

So, I was watching Jaamon's channel on Youtube (good Youtuber, good builds in general, recommend this guy) and he put up a pretty solid rolling magma ignite build. I worked at it a bit based off his stuff and came with this idea of using stormbind + blackflame + Eber's unification + incandescent heart. It turned out pretty well, but only in theory. Just a note, I haven't played this at all. This is not a post to say "go play this build" or "this is going to be great in 3.17". None of the build is insanely pricey. Blackflame is like 2ex. IH 6 link is probably 2 ex. Matyr is like 40c. Most of

I like these short-format events for testing build ideas or trying out certain builds/skills I don't want to devote a full league to. With the massive number of uniques that were dropping, Atlas Invasion was the perfect opportunity to try out an idea that I have had for a while, and it exceeded my expectations. I felt it was worth sharing both because I think it has some potential, I think it's interesting, it may inspire others to explore the possibilities with this sword, and I know a lot of folks like to complain about the lack of build variety. Keep in mind that this build is not min/maxed

Hello, I'm kind of theorycrafting a fireball flamewall build. Fireball to map fast, and Firewall to use against boss. I want the life / Block / Armor / Staff build, to get, I think, good survivability. Look at the LL build in items and tree for a realistic view of the build (around 20-30 ex to get there, so nothing impossible). Purpose : I love fireballing, I love fire, and the sad truth is, I can't burn everything in real life, because people don't like ashes and stuff. They get sad. I love my precious fireballs so much i
