[3.26] Penance brand Elementalist THEORYCRAFT not for new players
|
Progression
Spoiler
3.25 run on ssf as Inquisitor felt good. With Elementalist should be fine. Mule magma orb+ele prolif with inquisito->12 lvl swap into storm brand->28 quest and straight to penance brand. Its was pog as Inquisitor regarding the aoe. With elementalist I will get ~110% inc aoe after lab flat out on top of all same nodes I was taking as Inqisitor. Not only that... It will have more damage in early and mid game. Later on inquisitor would get crit chance and ignore res. We can counter that with vaal versions of purities so lighting is our main damage so we got lighting exposure. I'll go for all 3 elements anyway thanks to mysteries
That run Pob from that run

BOOM+BOOM+zoom zoom=fun
Pros
Spoiler
Giga aoe, probably half screen clear after first lab from one button press. Fast because of lightning golem, always full mana
Cons
Spoiler
Half of inquisitor regeneration, not so great boss damage(for red maps and higher)

" Played it for 2 days. Day one nice start, but day 2.. Here is the showcases of day 1 and 2 on reddit Here my day 1 pob https://pobb.in/8HgCPfIe6YGT Here day 2 https://pobb.in/NmG4aiBSt3ms The key decision was to take ignite ascendancy instead of bastion of elements... I saw how my ignites are doing and swapped into ignite version... and in ingnite version there was no argument for me to not go wave of conviction So now its WoC ignite still zdps but at least I got 2 stones and can clear maps. Found obliteration wand and it carries my mapping Here is pob

9 hour acts big comfy area of effect right at 34 lvl. But... woc ignite with that lingering aoe ignite from obliteration is just way too good. I kinda like the idea that I can explode whole screen and had massive aoe, but damage... sadly I'm not good at making build do t16. For yellow maps it would be great but I'm SSF and needed bonus completion points for my atlas and those quest Eater and Exarch were struggle sadly. Lacking boss damage made another part of build show up, I couldn't tank much Exarch ball phase, my minions kept exploding them and me and I really needed some defense there. Both quest bosses were zdps. All those conditional damage bonuses started to fail me because if I don't kill boss in 4 seconds now my 30% more is gone. No crit? Ele overload gone. And it was really shining bright. I'm complaring it to woc and EA ballista ignite. Those were twice more damage for WoC compared to Penance brand. And EA ballista... it had 10 times more damage. The worst part was that it took me 3 tries and swap to ignite version. The most sad part is that ignite builds make arcanist brand+flame surge for extra 25% more damage but since my primary skill was ignite I decided to just go WoC
Summary. If it wasn't SSF it would be kinda easy starter to transition into dissipation at yellow maps. Even if AOE is big I still had to aim sadly for brand to attach. For acts I'd say it feels really chill |
