[3.24] Wave of Conviction Build (League Starter) | Elementalist | Necropolis | Path of Exile 3.24

Hey guys, ignite wave of conviction elementalist build is here. This is a league starter build.
Wave of Conviction is a skill gem that creates an expanding wave of energy that surges forward, damaging enemies in a cone-shaped AoE over a duration.


Build Cost
- Low Budget


Eye of Malice: At first glance the mod Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances may sound unhelpful; however, it also multiplies negative resistances.

Defences: We have some evasion and 100% spell suppress chance. Also you can get Bastion of Elements instead of Shaper of Storms for extra tankiness.

Upgrades:
- Awakened Gems (Burning Damage, Swift Affliction and Deadly Ailments, Added Fire Damage)
- Exceptional Gems (Enlighten, Empower)
- Watcher's Eye (#% to Damage over Time Multiplier while affected by Malevolence)
- Rings (Polaric Devastation)
- Cluster Jewels
Large (Fire): Prismatic Heart / Burning Bright / Widespread Destruction
Large (Physical): Battle-Hardened / Iron Breaker / Furious Assault
Medium: Blowback / Cooked Alive - Wasting Affliction

Leveling: Leveling gems and trees are in the video.

Gem Setup:

Arcanist Brand - Flammability - Flame Surge of Combusting - Combustion

Why Flame surge of combustion?

Can you please add more details on why you are using the gems and eye of malice. There are noobs like me know dont understand much.

If I understand the skill correct, Arcanist Brand triggers flame surge, combustion and flammability. Flame Surge of Combustion adds more combustion stacks. IF I look that correctly :D

Very thorough guide, and reasonable league start gear. I have two questions, though. If/when you add Empower to the setup, which gem should you remove? I'm thinking it would be Burning Damage, but I'm not trying to assume. Second, while it is admittedly a bit further out of the scope of a league starter scenario, which Forbidden jewels would you recommend? Witch has several interesting options it can borrow from the other Ascendancies, though I imagine picking up Bastion of Elements (or Shaper of Storms, if you took the former as the alternative you suggested) wouldn't be a bad choice.

Hello !

Doin ur build for league start, hope can get till t16, cause league mechanics is hard!

tyvm

Hi

This might be a stupid question, but why do you get + maximum mana on gear, when you are using eldritch battery?

Hi there, I couldnt find the glooves, boots, and lacquered gar, they even dont appear on the search of trade!

Any help?

Thanks

Where Cruelty on Wave? What a gems u link.. U lose a tons of dps
For what u use Malice? For +resist to enemies? Rly? Can u did 2+2+2 = ? (Think u have 10)
That worst guide i've seen

"We have some evasion and 100% spell suppress chance." - but actually spell suppress chance is 90% in pob from this forum and youtube too. Or u mean that we can get 100%? Build is cool.

Spell suppression is indeed 90%, altho you can put a point on lucky suppression that pretty much guarantees 100%, or a rare helmet with the 10 missing, I would do it as the first upgrade here, rare helmet with suppression and some physical taken as, maybe some reservation improvements as well to fit purity of elements instead of herald of purity, or just go unnatural instinct for ailment immunity.

The build is very similar to what I level with but after reaching t16 maps I then switch to herald or arc ignite or other elementalist builds. Im sure you can improve this greatly since all the items are budget oriented.. better physical defense and some more dps would be easily achievable, adding a cluster would do it easy, better weapon and helmet, also a unique chest with each piece costing a couple divines.
This could also easily convert to CI ES for extra tankiness or add some more dmg conversion to boost the dps.
Also you could go for aegis ascendancy to also get reflect immunity and the shock is fairly easy to get somewhere else.
Get rid of the combustion and add a shock spell or another curse.
Use call to arms and automation to automate infernal cry and a phase run, get rid of all those points on the right side of tree and setup a cluster and a jewel that lets you alocate the supression nodes without pathing there, etc..

Looks like a great build for beginners and it can be greatly improved/customized.
Don't expect to to ubers or T17 without some major improvements.
