Awesome video with a lot of good info!
One thing I'd like to add about why I love Elementalist so much is the 60% AOE for both the explosion and the Ignite Proliferation! (mb if I missed it in the video)
Thanks for the kind words Palsteron! Means alot coming from you!
I went ele and I regret it so much.... Everyone says this is so easy to league start when it's the worst league start of my life.... Every league for past 11 years I was able to hit red maps almost straight out of campain if I was LVL 72+ and had third lab.... I can't even farm white maps I'm so squish and damage is so horrible
@@davidmaltais2912are you on a 4link minimum for your EA gem setup? I cleared searing exarch and t16 maps with only a 4link of EA Ballista Ignite prolif Faster Attacks and only recently upgraded to a 6 link for my mapping setup after I got some currency. Followed Palsteron's guide with some variations and he did me great
Been waiting for this one! Love the format as well i dont see anybody else doing stuff like this
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying the discussions!
So this is a bit late and likely people wont see this. However, its really important to note regarding the Champion hit chance. The Champion has an an ascendancy node that gives taunted enemies can not evade your hits. It also has 100% chance to taunt on hit. So when placing totems you are constantly taunting and thus do not need much hit chance except your first hit. And then you just taunt non stop.
You can crank the dps numbers upto 35m by adding timeless jewel, impossible escape and cluster jewels (8,4,4). Also consider using devouring diadem as it helps you use eldritch battery - this means you can replace lifetap with another awakened gem - awakened ele damage with hits. In addition it gives 25% reservation efficiency so helps adding in another aura (malevolence). As a final note, you can get the ignite prolif as an eldritch implicit on glove thereby freeing up another gem slot for damage.
it was a delightful explanation, thanks. i subscribed for future commentations.
Another great comparison guide. This really helps me understand the game. Another subscriber!
Thanks for the kind words Richard! Glad you enjoyed the comparison!
Love the compare and contrast. Thx Iron :o)
Glad you enjoyed it Scott!
Once again, Amazing ! Loving this type of content. What I feel I get the most from this format is the explanation of the difference between the builds that really makes me learn build nuances. Awesome Job !
Terrific! You enjoying these discussions means the work put in was worth it. Thanks for your kind words. Cheers!
I completely agree - these are the best discussions/analyses that are missing from general POE content creation.
This is amongst one of the most useful resources of information in terms of PoE I would say. Love this format.
Thanks for taking the time to share your kind words Rhaedria!
@@GoodGuyGaming3 Well deserved for coming up with such a good idea. You'll be helping so many people with this.
@@SYG_Aegis terrific! That's one thing we like to do around here, provide help to people and increase their delight in their hobby time. I'm open to further ideas about how to improve this format, and add additional formats that are helpful in the future.
I just started Ziz EA Champ in standard. I wanted a build to finish off the end game bosses. I was also looking at Palsteron's build. But I had an extra Slayer I could convert over easily enough in standard so that is why I went that route.
Very informative video again. Keep up the great work on these.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the build. Thanks for the kind words!
This is a build I love, I've played it four times, and looked at multiple builds. I absolutely adored the changed you brought to your format, this was awesome! I didn't play it this league so it was super interesting to see the new Jugg emerge.
Thanks for the kind words! Means alot coming from you as an enthusiast of the build!
Very insightfull, thank you
I really appreciate this video as a 2nd league noob player. It is very helpful when one has so much to learn. I know I am late but still appreciate the work you put into this. Gonna see if you made more.
THIS, THIS AND THIS is what I need as a new player! Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Julian! I'm glad this is helpful to your experience as a newcomer!
I'm not a big fan and stay far away from bow builds but these videos have so much value to bleed modular ideas into other builds. Keep them coming man great job!
Thanks for the kind words Stan!
Hey man, been looking for more EA info as i will be league starting this in 3.21. Really appreciate the work put into this video and how well it's done. Still watching it but just wanted to say thank you and give a sub :)
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback on this format! I'll take it into consideration for future discussions.
Aurastacking has always been interesting to me since the heydays of Delirium, looking forward to that or any of the Spark variants next!
This is amazing, just what I needed this league!
Glad to hear it David! Enjoy!
great work. love your content
Thanks for the kind words Sebastian!
Zizz's build switches off IP when you get the implicit on gloves. It really opens up the build to more Ignite damage and the scaling multiplier after that makes the build feel much better than the other two on a far lower investment imo. Also, he has since switched to champion.
Personally I pronounce the belt as Dye-Add-E-in dawn. Don’t know about others :P
Love this type of content. Not a fan of EA, but keen to see what you do in the future!
Thanks for weighing in Mark! I'm hoping to make these discussions at such an informative level that even if a player never follows a build guide, there is some aspect of the discussion they can apply to their own build creations and character choices in the future. Cheers!
@@GoodGuyGaming3 One thing that might be useful is to have a small summary section at the start or end comparing the general differences, like "Balor's build is a bit more zoomy, CatmasterOPs build is a bit tankier, and Ziz's guide has explosions"
wholesome video
Back when I thought PoE had a future I'd enjoy.
You got my sub at the shiny balding forehead part 🤣
If you think bald and bearded is beautiful and funny, then we have got the jokes for you haha. Glad we made you smile today!
So, one part was a little short for me. I know it was just a comparison... but i wanted to know, what the best gemsetup in terms of single target is? For Elementalist.
Great question! Palsteron answers this in a few ways in his build guide videos.
This is awesome, do more skill types.
absolutely loved EA Champ this league! thanks to Ziz and SST
Explosive arrow is not my thing but its extremely informative, I am learning so much more from each video then I have ever done with any build guides. Learning how to read PoB, compare PoB, its just super helpful.
Please do not stop this series
Thanks for your feedback and kind words! We will do our best to keep the comparisons coming!
Love this series - really gives a lot of context in different takes in how to build a character and context on where defenses/offenses/content align.
Any chance of looking at Cold DOT for purely selfish reasons? :)
Yes! It's next up on the list.
The big thing about EA is that you really don't give a shit about the explosion. You need to focus on your damage per ignite number more.
professor irons thank you
Oh that's a nickname I have in my vocation haha. Usually doesn't get applied to PoE. Thanks for the kind words!
Ziz has Ignites spread to nearby enemies on his gloves...:) Can you make a gauntlet guide?
I played elementalist during archnemesis and playing champion on HC this league.
I personally prefer champion, WAY tankier but if you like damage, go with elementalist.
with Worthy Foe, the champion shouldn't need to worry about hit %
G3, regarding your accuracy discussion at about 15:45 have you considered the fact that SuperSecretTech uses forbidden flesh/flame to allocate Worthy Foe, which makes monsters taunted by you unable to evade attacks?
Yes! It's something that we chatted about in another comment here. It was a mistake on my part (and potentially the build guide creator) not to tick "enemies are taunted" in the PoB configuration. I think using a few passive points shows alternatives to having those jewels to reach 90% + accuracy if you don't have the jewels. I should have clarified that further. Good eye seeing this and thanks for your comment!
I don’t know if ziz had the video out on how to craft a min all the way to max the bow when you made this. But to the people reading the comments he has a way to craft bows check it out if ya need
You kept saying flat added damage bricks dps because of ele equilibrium. But you can have flat cold or lightning damage which would do wonders because it will expose mobs to fire .as long as it’s not flat fire damage.
You missed the point for going Champion with the Hit Chance. You dont need any with Worthy Foe. Other than that pretty good informative Video!
Thanks for the correction! We will keep improving as we do more of these!

why they dont use it?
👍
I love the concept of these videos as I often find myself comparing different versions of builds looking for optimizations in my own characters. However this video felt a little too unfair towards the Champion variant. I understand that all PoB's must be taken as they are presented and it must be accepted that it will lead to mostly minor discrepancies between configurations, but it is somewhat common knowledge for most Champions, and especially the Champion variant of EA makes use of "Worthy Foe" from the Champion Ascendancy to solve Accuracy (Hit Chance) for the build. In the PoB of the champion variant however, the champion only has 3 Ascendacny points allocated, missing Worthy Foe. It is also clear the intention is to have Worthy Foe as in the "Kalandra" version of the character, they ran a Forbidden Flesh and Flame setup to allocate Worthy Foe for them.
While I agree, changes should not be made to the PoBs, this mistake in the PoB seems far to big to ignore as having less than 100% hit rate will completely neuter the displayed DPS and make all dps comparisons of the Champion variant irrelevant.
This would also require ticking the Has been Taunted checkbox in the configuration.
This is part of the downside of comparing multiple POBs from multiple different build creators. There is no "standard" as of yet for normalizing calculations for POBs, so rather than make too many changes, I've tried to make an effort to display the POBs in the video discussion as the build creators have released them. In some way, this is a discussion I'm glad to be a part of, because hopefully we as a community of POE players can begin to normalize all our POBs to be on truly the same ground when making comparisons. If build guide creators do normalize their configurations it would make comparing guides vastly easier.
A quick couple of ticks in POB according to your suggestions (taunted + goal gear + using the Kalandra build tree) and the damage goes from 5.2 mil DPS as shown in the video, to 6.1 mil DPS. A significant change to be sure.
I appreciate your feedback and taking the time to point out these distinctions!
@@GoodGuyGaming3 I agree and recognise the issue. My major qualm and what prompted my comment more so than other is that within the video you recognised the hit chance as being incredible low and as a seasoned player, you yourself, knew there was an error somewhere. Hence why you went on to increase the accuracy from 68% to 91%.
I'm not familiar with the creator of the Champion variant however after quickly reading through their forum build guide they do mention Worthy Foe in the ascendancy order and mention the Forbidden jewels.
Using the Goal Gear + Kalandra Tree + Ticking Taunt + Removing 20% delirious effect + Setting to Guardian DPS + Setting 20 fuses = Gives me a Full DPS of 6.7M bringing the Champion Variant, rightfully, above the Juggernaut in DPS.
The only reason I'm maybe catching these mistakes is I myself am playing Palsteron's variant and already compared many variants of this build type only a matter of weeks ago :P Another reason why I love for your content and this type of video to become more common place as it would save myself, and many others, the effort and make decisions much easier.
I love the idea of build comparisons and can't stress enough how much I enjoy this type of content and wish there was more of it in the PoE scene. I do not want this to come off as insulting or anything of the sort!
@@zabrac1566 Thanks for your comments mate! Nothing you've said is insulting in any way. I appreciate you taking the time to help us all as a community further reach for improvement and clarity in how we can evaluate and discuss nuances in builds. I bet you are enjoying the Elementalist haha. Cheers!
Don't have much of an interest in EA this league, but maybe next league, assuming all the tech in the video remains relevant for it. Loved the video I like this format, but it looks super tough to create, great job!
Thanks for your comment Josh! I doubt (just based on numbers) that the build will receive a big hit in terms of nerfs. It's solidly strong, but not over the top OP. Should still be a strong option for next league.
Zoom zoom, boom boom)))
I think super secret tech tries to be too balanced and in the end fails to get higher damage than the juggernaut but also is less tanky than the juggernaut. So basically if u want fast clearspeed and big dam go elementalist and if don't mind going slower and hate dying then go juggernaut as its the most balanced AND defensive.
Kind of strange he left his suppression at 99%...
Sure, there's very real benefit to 100%, especially on HC.
If you're not really bossing then it doesn't really matter.. 99% is a huge help defensively.
But PoB basically doesn't care about piddly 99% suppression. Sure, you get some credit for your ehp with it, but it's like, nah, there's a 1% chance the slam isn't suppressed so your max hit doesn't mean anything!
How much higher do all those max hit numbers on the champion build go if it just got 1% more suppression from somewhere? (it might even have it somewhere as conditional, I dunno). So all those numbers, while technically true, are basically de facto deflated because they'll all go up waaaay more as soon as 1% suppression is gotten from somewhere.
Flat added, just fire 🔥 yes?
Yes it will brick the EE.
If you're like me and got 15% fire exposure as your fourth sanctum relic... and nothing else at all synergistic with the build before or after, sure. =P
Currently enjoying one league of "no" EE explosive arrow.
It's nice for mapping.
Palsteeron :))
My pronunciation of all things is awful haha. The number of times I got tongue tied saying "super secret tech" and "pal-st-er-on" was....too high.
Dyadian -- die AD ee uhn
Usually [i] in diadem is pronounced like m[i]nt
Are you trying to do the Cutedog thing where you purposely don't pronounce people's names correctly?
Nope. I just have a hard time pronouncing certain syllables. My apologies if it's distracting to you.
Champion always has 100% hit chance unless you roll monsters cannot be taunted
Yes but the way PoB displays accuracy messes with the overall number. I'm sure others have figured out a way to better display it. Thanks for the comment!
@@GoodGuyGaming3 I know ziz himself said his champion with exactly same gear as his jugg did around 15 mill
I did ele EA because everyone said damage was insane compared to other options.... I wanted to go chieftain. But yeah.... Not only is my damage horrible but if mobs so much as sneeze in white and early yellow maps I die.... Worst league start I've ever had in 11 years
Sorry to hear that mate. Please realize that this video and the comparison was done for the 3.20 patch cycle, and not the current patch. That will make a wild amount of difference as Path of Exile builds fluctuate heavily depending on patch changes. Cheers.
@@GoodGuyGaming3 but I was under the impression the build was unchanged. I don't get what I'm doing wrong
@@davidmaltais2912I hate to say stuff life this, but just by reading your comments, I can tell you don’t know what you are doing. There are literally step by step written guides for this build on maxroll, it wasn’t the build, it was you. 11 years of experience but you can’t figure out what’s wrong with a build? Cmon brother, cut the bs.
@@asapBreeZy and you would be dead wrong I know exactly what I'm doing lol
Played zizs champ and the elementalist. Got to say the elementalist is more tank with faster clear on the exact same gear did add more life to the elementalist but only a few nodes still have 30m dps and had about 4 on the champ
