HoT autobomber is back ?
Just wanted to share my HoT autobomber elementalist. A lot of new stuff heavily buffed the build this league, to the point i think its actually good now. 1. Mercs: Doryani and perquil gives absurd dmg multiplier, auras from them can give big bonuses as well, i use a kineticist with haste. My merc has -158% lightning res 2. fishing rods: the new (admittedly insanely rare) angler rune is perfect for this build, scaling crit was so absurdly high investment for this build u always ended up with huge investment and still total paper, now u just slap on a reefbane and thats it. marylenes gives huge chunks crit multi and critting inpulsa explosions give insane clear. 3. New elementalist: I am using triple shapers and golem nodes. Shaper of flame gives a huge chunk of phys conversion, together with kaoms on merc and pyroclasp you convert nearly all enemy physical dmg to elemental, shaper of winter with the huge dmg scaling u get from crits and merc means u permanently chill enemies 40%, even pinnacles which gives great defense, shaper of storm obviously makes triggering HoT easy but it also makes reaching 50% shocks trivial. golems give genericly good stats, flame for dmg and area, chaos for a good chunk of chaos res, which i desperately need, stone gives defense and some nice ES regen, storm gives huge amounts of mana regen, which u need for the triggers but also 4. bladefall of trarthus: allthough doing basically no dmg its perfect to apply ailments. Its a totally permanent and automatic way to apply ignite and shocks, with unbound ailments and ele prolif you apply 50% shocks that spread and ignites to apply shaper of flame. this combined with cwdt cracklance and BL ensures enemies are consistently shocked, both for dmg and for inpulsa.

Goals for the build: get chaos res and mageblood for better defense and speed uptime with progenesis
Issues: Might be squishy for some content, but its a very fast general mapper that easily kills non uber bosses as well, needs some investment into merc, the rune is VERY expensive, i paid 81 div for mine, which is about the same as the entire rest of the build
