the next skillpoints go into life, flasknodes, maybe precision or cleaving, catalyse and a jewel



I swap inc aoe with elemental focus for bosses when needed. Conc effect does not work on a namelocked target, except for the fireblast. 6th link could be faster atks, life leech or fortify.

Gemsetups for movement/auras are selfexplaining.
I like enhance with bloodrage (atk speed) and golems (life) to have better survivalbility/speed for those. A warcry, vaal lightning trap or something else work too.

Without kaoms the extra gems can be used with a cwdt immortal call + vaalhaste setup or ancestral warchief, vengeance and so on.

Physical to lightning is possible too, but the weapons physical mana/lifeleech has no effect and i can run out of mana on aingletargets.

Still have to optimize flasks and thinking about hrimburn, but that needs adjustments with the gear (resis, accuracy).
I consider using a vinktars with phys>lightning, but i dont really care that much atm.

So the main idea is to use wildstrike with kitavas feast (included melee splash), the helm enchantment (36% aoe) and some aoe nodes/gem to get a huge melee splash :P
afaik the radius enchant should increase the melee splash aoe, but thats really hard to test on the skill with effects proccing all over the place (to notice damage on targets far away).
Wildstrike is so only skill with such a big aoe enchant, converts 60% phys to an element and proccs all elements for mastermind of discord.

Other classes can work too like slayer, juggernaut, berserker and so on, but i just wanted a witch with a 2h axe namelocking stuff :p
The aoe (pathing, which i wouldnt get on other classes + elementalist node), 25% ele penetration, doublegolembuffs and ele reflect reduction speak for the class.

Shaper of desolation is useless with elemental focus and i oneshot most stuff anyway.
Beacon of Ruin does not work with the axe most of the time. Corpses are destroyed and cannot prolif and targets are normally not alive to prolif stuff ;)

Tooltip dps doesnt show the proper dps since the 60% elemental conversion is NOT included, which is a huge part with stuff like elemental focus, elemental overload, weapon elemental damage and elemental damage in general.

Melee physical damage gem and similar will increase the melee hit's physical and converted damage, but will not increase the damage of the secondary elemental effect.
This means it doesnt increase all parts of the damage and is not an optimal gem.

videos following once i have a decent level ;)

leveling
leveled with firestorm until level 68 in a tabula. Picked the left starting nodes to begin and respecced all spelldmg nodes later.Nothing special



atm i am buying tons of hrimsorrows to vaal ele weakness on hit :P

Upgraded the gear a bit

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMCAAQHBLMI9AmWDc0UIBo4HM4c3B8CIvQkmycvK1AwdzLRNZI2xTkOOtg64TwFPC09X0F0RUdFfkWdTItMs03jUEdSU1NSVK5VxlZIWfNZ_l8_ZFJmVGebaGVqBGpDaqVtGXKpdqx90oKbg1-DzIPbhXuIQI8akFWQ-pd5l5WX9Jo7muCf36IAplenCKyqrY2uPq-ntz686sBUwGbBo8T2xq7PftAf1AfYJNi93I3fbd-K4mHkUeoY6-7sOO8O70vvfO_r8kXz3fZI9zL3Tfjr_TD-Cv5U_o8=

Deaths door is essential for me w/o a slot for a bleed removal flask.
The gloves are a big upgrade since there fits no curse in my setup. Its a significant upgrade.

Its really hard at the state of the league to buy fitting upgrades. I would like to replace the gold ring, but no results so far.

Overall i am happy with the gear, but i really want a 6link weapon and i have to farm tons of fusing to 6l my weapon (which is 5% inc dmg below max roll).

But first i'll buy a conversion Vinktar, its a big dps increase!

I decided against hrimsorrow/burn with ele weakness, because the manaleech is poor with too much conversion (if vinktars isnt up). Especially in low recovery maps.

I am also trying HoA + conc/aoe instead of AA. Elementalist has a good chunk of elemental damage and the overkill burn is pretty sweet.

Overall i have to say that Slayer or Berserker would've been a better classchoice overall.

Elementalist has its benefits no doubt with the aoe boost, good damage, ele penetration, reduced reflect dmg and golem buffs, on the other side the golems are annoying as fuck as a melee.
Strand bosses for excample split all the time, one flickers to the golems, the other one attacks me...

Also the leechrate is pretty bad (standard rate). Without VaalPact Slayer has a way better recovery via leech and also included leech/overkill leech.

If i could change gender with the char i would pick a slayer instead.

Gender change done

used tons of regrets to respecc my gladiator (he was fun no doubt!) to slayer for this build. It performs way better than elementalist, more damage and way better substain + no golems (god i hate em).

I was searching for count 3 (three of mentioned stats have to be it) while checking for a useful but not that great 4th stat.

Two handed atkspeed/physical dmg
axe atkspeed/physical dmg
attack speed
physical dmg
life
generic damage

So 3 of those had to be on a jewel since those are the most useful ones.

As a 4th i checked for stuff like
accuracy,
crit with fire/cold/lightning/elemental/melee...
IIR
resists
mana on hit/leech
melee damage
OR one additional of the ones above.

Accuracy is probably the best one of those, but i just wanted 4 stat jewels with overall good stats

Updated the Wildstrike char.

I am at it to change the charpost to a guide and also make a video guide about it (once i have 30mins without the kid :D), because the char is so enjoyable for me.
Wildstrike sees barely any use and i think that i created a interesting version of it which i can call "my build"

I am so pumped to try this BV berserker at the next league start! Thank you so much, I'm so glad I found this version of it. Will be literally perfect for a league starter.

Edit - do you think MoM would be better for uber lab just to add a bit more tankiness to it? It seems like it will get pretty solid life actually

Mom hurts more than it helps with constantly beeing on 0 mana and no way to recast stuff.
Ran a few uberlabs with the char, all deathless. VaalPact and life is not that hard for labs, just sip on 1-2 lifeflasks and fine

Yeah just hoping I can avoid the whole 1 shot thing with life.. with ES it never really happens ever
well izaro is not a deal, just circle him to dodge shit while passively dealing dmg, done.

But other stuff can potential oneshot you (volatiles, minotaur with hard dmg mods, phoenix aoe blast and some shaper skills ofc)... but thats a thing with any life build.
Last week i got oneshot by a volatile with 8.5k life on another char with - max + monsterdmg against a rock-rolling-dude... not much to do against except staying on range (poison ticks etc).

I will most likely replay the bv berserker (or a queen of the forest pathfinder variation) if doubledipping is still in 2.6 (which should be removed with 3.0)

Something like this. Fix resists i via jewels if needed.
Jewels grant more damage than phys/chaos nodes.

Bandits: oak, kill, kill
