[2.2] The Wild Spellblade | Elementalist | Pure Elemental Wild Striker

100% of our physical damage is converted to elemental. This makes us a full melee elemental build which maximizes the Elementalist's tree.

Pure CI with over 300% increased es from the tree.

Auxium belt so freeze should be a non-issue.

Eye of chayula may be mandatory, as it's the easiest way to achieve stun immunity.

The build is a 'crit' build but functions unconventionally. It utilizes the new Elemental Focus gem (provides more elemental damage but our damage cannot cause status aliments) and the new Elemental Overload keystone node (provides more elemental damage but removes our crit multiplier).

Since we cannot cause status aliments and no longer receive bonus damage from our crit multiplier, we essentially gain a damage increase across the boards if we crit once every 8 seconds. This means we can put less emphasis on crit chance; we just need enough to crit 1 time every 8 seconds.

I will use 1x Energy from Within to convert the hybrid ES/Life nodes into efficient Es nodes.

I will also use 1x Efficient Training Jewel to convert Int -> Str

Updated tree that takes 'Elemental Overload' with less of an emphasis on crit, as we only need to crit once every 8 seconds.
(idea inspired by user 100aisles)


16% Aura Efficiency variant

Note that rainbows and splendour are not mandatory. Good rare versions would be BiS. I will be testing with windscreams for dual curse.

110% phys -> elemental conversion:
Wild Strike + Multistrike + Phys to lightning + Weapon elemental damage + Elemental Focus + Added Fire

Auras:


Whirling blades + faster attacks + fortify

CWDT + Immortal Call + Inc Duration + Chaos golem

Link to the recently spoiled Elemental Focus gem

This version is a Templar inquisitor variant that takes Righteous Providence, Inevitable Justice and Instruments of Virtue. We DO NOT take the new keystone Elemental Overload and we also do not take Elemental Focus.

Gems would be

Wild strike + Phys to Lightning + Weapon Ele Dmg + Multistrike + Added Fire + Life Leech

Flame dash instead of whirling blades to proc Instruments of Justice.

Same item choice as witch, except weapon. Need to focus heavily on crit so binos could be a good choice.

Tree

Available as soon as ascendency releases

I have a level 75 witch i will convert over to this build.
