Important PoB Notes

The PoB community fork created by Localidentity is the only version being kept up to date, so make sure you have the correct version: PoB Community Fork.

End Game PoB & Passive Skill Tree

This build is extremely straightforward tree-wise. Budget-friendly versions include 1 Cluster Jewel

Here is the Lightning Conduit Elementalist PoB:

Update: We are also adding this Tankier PoB() For those of you who don’t like the Glass Cannon playstyle of the build

Once the skill-tree is finished, just focus entirely on more jewel sockets or cluster jewels, if you can afford it.

Leveling Progression

Depending on if you’re playing Hardcore or Softcore, you will have to adjust your routing based on how good the gear you find is. An example is that if you have lots of Life & Resistance from drops you get during the Acts, you can focus on taking the damage-providing nodes over the defensive ones and vice versa.

Masteries

A lot of the masteries available comes down to a matter of personal preference but some are more or less mandatory.

Life Mastery: “+50 to maximum life” crucial node to pick up as soon as you hit the life mastery cluster
Life Mastery: “10% increased maximum Life, 10% reduced Life Recovery rate” Just gives us even more life when we really need it.
Lightning Mastery: “Lightning Damage with Non-Critical Strikes is Lucky” Gives us higher average damage for our lightning skills
Lightning Mastery: “Non-Projectile Chaining Lightning Skills Chain +1 times” Allows our Storm Brand to Chain even farther
Lightning Mastery: “+15% to Maximum Effect of Shock” Huge Damage multiplier in multiple ways, allows us to hit 65% shock
Reservation Mastery: “Auras from your skills have 10% increased effect on you” This helps us get both a little bit more damage output and defensive layers from our auras.
Elemental Mastery: “40% increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments” let’s us more easily hit 65% shock
Elemental Mastery: “+15% to all Elemental Resistances” Helps us ease the gearing requirements to hit Res cap
Armour Mastery: “20% Reduced Effect of Curses on you” Just some good defensive quality of life

Leveling Gems & Links

A complete Act by Act progression of Gems and trees is provided in the PoB

End Game Gem Links

6-Link Lightning Conduit

Remember that you must have a shock on the enemy or else Lightning Conduit will do nothing

3-Link Hextouch Shield Charge

Use Shield Charge to proc our Conductivity on tougher mobs as well as to just move around the map a bit faster

3-Link Auras

Standard setup of a bit of damage and a bit of defense

4-Link Storm Brand

We use Storm Brand to apply shock and chill to our enemies so we can cast Lightning Conduit on them

4-Link Flame Dash

Standard 4 link Flame Dash setup for Gap jumping and procing our Arcane Surge Support, Level Arcane Surge Support as high as you can while still triggering it off of a single Flame Dash
Note: you will drop Arcane Surge Support aftergetting Eldritch Battery as we can no longer trigger it.

Golems

You should always use Summon Lightning Golem and Summon Ice Golem, then choose one out of the last 3: either Summon Stone Golem, Summon Flame Golem, or Summon Chaos Golem
