I was looking for cool Elementalist Witch builds to play and came across this Clayshaper / Primordial 'Golemancer' build. Has anyone here tried it? How is it?

Are the Primordial jewels typically expensive?

the primordial jewels are among the rarest items in the game and cost like 6ex at the start for anima, and 2-3 ex for the other ones. and you need 11

good luck

There's plenty of other ways to waste money on that build too (presence of chayula, skin of the loyal in the right colors, lvl 4 empower).

Also not sure there's a ton of reason to go elementalist anymore, since you cant afk the end game bosses now. Might as well go necro. Spectres are almost certainly the better necro build right now similar play style, but cheaper and easier to get going while also probably being faster at almost everything.

I'd imagine the price on primordial stuff is going to come down somewhat now isn't it? Still going to be stupid expensive though I'm sure.

I know MBT's gimmick is posting ridiculous hyperbole, but just to be clear, you do not need 11. You need one super expensive jewel, one fairly expensive jewel, then a load of relatively cheap jewels. The rest of the gear can get pricey though, especially now you can't lie on the floor dead while your golems kill bosses.

Seems like lots of people are going spectres, wondering what that's gonna do to the price of vis mortis. Is it okay to roll with just 3 spectres or should I stay with SRS until I get the vis mortis?

I want to roll with Molten Strike somehow, but I'm at work and can't get Path of Building. Can someone give me a few vague hints? (Which class, which ascendancy, that sort of thing)

I typically make my builds by picking a gem and buffing that to hell. Mix in copious eHP nodes, and I'm good to go, basically.

My plan is to switch as soon as I get to areas with good spectre candidates and use a Tabula until I can afford to 5L a Vis Mortis.

...I'm sorry. I can't seem to remember any of the rest.
if you want a hipster summoner build try skeleton mages instead, dead reckoning/to dust are pretty expensive but not multiple ex iirc

also it should be Extremely powerful now since they have 150% added flat damage instead of 70%

(altho that might also hike up the price of the jewels)

e: 3 dead reckonings is ~90c on standard while anima stone + 1 primordial might is ~370c; obviously these prices will be different in abyss but that should give you a general idea of their relative prices

e2: also still dont do this as a league starter bc even if they're cheap you still need a shitload of uniques, start as SRS or spectres and swap once you can afford it

Are there threshold gems for tendrils? They'll probably be annoyingly expensive for awhile.

there's one datamined that gives 4% aoe per enemy per tick but the way it reads makes me think it was in the 3.0 beta for the old tendrils and got cut

They're using deadly ailment as a placeholder for spell cascade's lowered damage. I've dreamt of doin storm call for all my life and spell cascade seems like it could be cool. Could this work well as a good league starter?

At first I thought They were using deadly ailment because its the only other gem that has a less/reduced duration modifier, but that must be swift affliction then. Can't say I'm a huge fan of using DA, but im not gonna act like I'm an expert.

Anyway, i've heard a lot of people talking bout storm call cascade so im sure its fine. You can easily switch to arc/ek/spark/lightning tendrils if it doesn't turn out as good as you hoped.

I'm leaning towards slayer and necro as the starter, not sure how well spectre necros can do full key uberlab runs without accidently killing a key condition.

"Molten strike"

Self quoting because my question was not answered (probs because the last post was at the bottom of the page)

Molten Strike is amazing and just received a substantial buff due to ancestral call. Now it's great AOE and still one of the top tier single target dps skills. Your basic tree is going to be scaling physical damage with the weapon of your choosing, a bit of elemental damage with penetration, duelist leech, some projectile stuff (Point Blank, Iron Grip), EO or Crit, and then lots of life. So basically you just hug the outside all the way from primeval force to Templar and just dip into maurader and duelist for health, damage and life leech. Eventually you wanna wear Xoph's blood for full fire conversion and some really good other stats. Here's my favorite ways to play it:

1. Brutus Lead Sprinkler, easily number one. Every 10 strength ends up giving you: 4 to 7 fire damage to attacks, 5 flat life, 2% melee physical damage, and 2% projectile damage. Bezerker is your best choice here. Use Lycosidae in offhand.

2. Raider/Pathfinder. Probably would use swords ideally, even dreamfeathers would work great. Same as before but you won't be stacking strength. Just grab phys, crit, acc, and then the elemental nodes.

3. Inquisitor. Claws preferably, with lots of crit. just travel to shadow and pick up crit and claw phys nodes and leech. Remember crit is your ele pen, and ele pen is worthless.

Bonus: Ngamahu's Flame Cyclone. This is the "Cyclone Molten Strike" except the weapon triggers molten burst. This is hands down one of the best starters of all time. Slayer or Raider imo, though some like pathfinder.

edit: forgot to mention that no Molten Strike build is complete without eventually getting a +3 projectile helm enchant and a Dying Sun. Also, probably has one of the strongest threshold jewels in the game so use 2 asap.

Yea so will a BLS, and Xophs for a little bit. The good news is, RT is right on the way to AOF which are both great placeholders for the start of leagues.

I'm really thinking I want to do selfcast GC, can anyone recommend a decent build for that or just drop some pointers?
