PoE builds similar to Grinding Out Levels In Heist - Level 97-99 Fireball Elementalist - Crucible SSF EP 52

I made a thread here a little while back and got a lot of help from this sub-reddit. My little fireball build was turned around and made alive once again (sorta). I have since than continued to make improvements. Gear upgrades. Testing different uniques. But I feel as though I have invested alot of currency and time into this build and it still doesn't feel good. (I don't have a lot of time to play).

This character currently runs pretty much all the same build, but with a different tree and different utility gem setups because initially I had a different build in mind before findi

The POB uses placeholder gear for the most part to show the bare minimum to make the build work.
