There's no good way to build non-golem Elementalist



Paragon of Calamity - this is the most useful and the most reliable node, every non-golem Elementalist should take it.
But now you have a problem, you can't take both Beacon of Ruin and Mastermind of Discord. So you have to choose only one. That's 6 ascendancy points.

Now what choices do you have for 2 final uber points?
Liege of Primordial - garbage, if you don't summon many golems.
Pendulum of Destruction - totally unreliable, literally half useless on non AoE builds.
Shaper of Desolation - again unreliable, unless you're playing Elemental Hit or something.


So in the end you have:
- 1 great node (Calamity),
- 1 "ok" node (Beacon of Ruin or Mastermind of Discord),
- 2 garbage nodes.


I think, the nodes order should be rearranged. Or connect the Beacon of Ruin with the Mastermind of Discord, like GGG did with Trickster.

I’ve done well without Paragon of Calamity on my Elementalist, and she doesn’t need golems.

This game ain’t that cut and dry.

Paragon of calamity is a terrible node. 0.5% life leech, not even mana. conditional damage reduction and increase, the very reason, why it was a shit node before. damage reflection isn't a thing anymore, so this node is utter irredeemable garbage.

go golem or bust, anything else on this ascendancy is shit.
ever thought about it this way:
it might be intended that you have to make an actual choice! ?

Choice is - be shit Elementalist or play a different class, right guys? :D

Elementalist has a cool picture, but that's where the good stuff ends. Needs another revamp.

at least now it has leech an some pen.
at least now its on par with any non ascended attack build if you want so :D

jokes aside, you can get some good scaling there.
its not bad.
Spoiler
still not a molten strike facetank build with like 6k+ life sustain,
but... well its smt to work with.

Mastermind of Discord is only "OK"? It look amazing to me!!

because triple herald?
but witch is not best class for attack builds,
so herald of ash only useful for the 2 or 3 phys spells.

meaning u get ele scaling for phys spells.
good for conversionbuilds,
but otherwise you leave 1/3rd of the node useless.

feels awkward to me.
taking a strong node and only using 2/3rd of it.
or feeling like
"i have to play phys spell conversion now with this to make efficient use of it"
