It seems GGG started nerfing ascendency classes before even releasing them. Elementalist is the result.
It's quite understandable as people complained about shadow/gladiator being OP, so now there won't be any more OP classes. While looking at the Elementalist class it feels like you're being forced into extremely nieche (hard-to-play) builds for little to no reward. What if i only want to play a simple Arc witch? I don't want to switch to flameblast every two seconds, I don't want to look at the buffs every four seconds to see if i have 100% increased damage or not. And finally i don't want to wait until i get hit by elemental damage from mobs (because i'm a caster not a melee character) The only rewards for simple elemental builds are Arcane Conflux and Beacon of Ruin which can both be translated as "Monsters will receive elemental status ailmnents more often" ... quite disappointing Last edited by _Interrupt_ on Feb 5, 2016, 4:26:36 AM

the most disappointing ascendancy class so far. This is extremely narrow. If you look at the Templar elemental abilities, they far outclass the witches. If you look at the ES of the shadow class, it far outclasses the witches (you know.... the ES/int class).
Mastermind of discord seems absolutely terrible. you have to alternate skills, and then you get 20% cold resistance pen etc. Wonderful. Lets take a look at the Templar Inevitable judgement: 100% of the time, all of your attacks either pen 10%, or ignore resistances completely..... without some gimmicky enabler. The other 4 point one is ele prolif for free... at a radius of 9?! NINE!? So if the monsters are literally trying to wear the same pair of shoes together at the same time they MIGHT both get frozen? going to 12 for ele prolif gem made it virtually useless..... I guess there's always hope for ES / comparable abilities in the final class. |

" What he said. Take the garbage out, and put options for single element casters in so this ascendancy class isn't as narrow. |
|
" Pff, I'm not going to play temp leagues and I'm still quite thrived by Ascendancy, I have like almost 20 90+ level characters and now will be shifting builds between classes. For example, my SRSer is now scion, and I will move it to witch, or my life ED is scion and will be moved to shadow. Elementalist seems quite underwhelming, so probably my glacial cascade low life witch will be recreated as scion, etc. etc. So I now farm only regrets for bandits respec :) Anticipation slowly dissipates...

you dudes can use those damn orbs to trigger the elementalist %dmg pen node.
using frost orb gives you lightning pen and so on. | |
|
So far the only good out of the way build I can think of for the Elementalist is...surprise surprise Wild Strike..
Just another Forum Signature in a Sea of Signatures.
