[3.10] Elemental Hit Wandslinger Assassin - Very tanky, fast and fun wander

Hello and welcome to my another guide, this time wander. So, I wanted to play build like this for a long time, but before 3.10 the options for wanders were very limited. Now we got Wandslinger on tree what makes spell damage apply to attack damage, so we no longer need stuff like Crown of Eyes for proper scaling. Wandslinger makes this build very starter friendly because crafting spell damage wands is relatively simple, and we use Elemental Hit that do not relies on flat damage so we can fully utilize just spell damage mods.
On top of Wandslinger, we also use Crown of the Inward eye for huge damage boost and survivability boost.
I am going to league start with this build in 3.10 so I will try to keep everyone updated.
Important! As this build is very new, a lot of sections are unfinished. But I think at least in current state it is more than enough (I have leveling, PoB, starter setups etc all covered).

Changelog

+ 10k EHP (5.3k HP, 30% MoM + 2.6k Mana, 3K ES)
+ 70% melee avoid chance, 70% projectile avoid chance, 18% spell avoid chance

Path of Building

Path of Building is tool for PoE to plan gear, skill tree and calculate effective damage. It also contains Bandits and Pantheon choice. You can download it here. The guide is tailored for modified version of PoB with some additional features so after you download regular PoB head here for installation instructions for modified version. After that simply import below Pastebin URL into PoB:

Pastebin




Pantheon

For your major god Soul of Lunaris is good pick as we are dodge build and extra dodge is always helpful. For bosses Soul of Solaris is very effective as well.

For your minor god Soul of Soul Garukhan is good choice because again, we are evasion/dodge based build, and extra dodge is always good. Another good option is Ralakesh to reduce dot from Blood Rage and to get Blind and Maim immunity. Valid options are also Ryslatha for extra charges for life flask and extra life recovery from it and Soul of Shakari for poison immunity and reduced chaos damage taken.

Ascendancy

Get Mistwalker first. Then get Unstable Infusion and Deadly Infusion for some damage and mobility and finally get Opportunistic from Uber Lab.

Leveling and gearing

Important! When leveling we use Elemental Equillibrium for triple elemental Elemental Hit. We do not switch to fire version until we get double Combat Focus to lock other elements.

looking forward to seeing this in action

Eeeeh i wanted To play your wander poison build, now that i see this one i'm interested !

I have never played an elemental hit build. I like high attack speed and movement speed build. How is the map Clear speed going To be ? For boss fights is it low APS ?

Why not take Eldrich battery than, block all mana with auras, and get discipline es gain on hit watcher's to sustain es pool?

Hybrid builds really suck, it's like running all the time with half hp pool cause you can only sustain regen on either hp or es.

I tried to stack some APS so it should be pretty smooth for bossing imo. For clear speed, the setup is ele hit + chain + gmp, what with ele hit explosions should be very good (but most likel still a bit worse than Kinetic Blast on regular wanders).

Eldritch Battery would prevent scaling damage from Indigon.

And for recovery, I have both life and ES leech that can be both active at once, and also indigon life "recovery" with enduring flask on top, so I dont think either ES or Life recovery will be lacking.

I will try to record some vids as soon as I will have the opportunity :d

Nice guide, thanks! Would this be pretty easily changed into a different type of wander? Such as KB/PS?

My initial plan is to leaguestart with this and transition into a more traditional wander keeping your idea of defense.

Yeah you can transition to regular one later, the core is mostly the same anyway, except instead of w/e shield I am using you would use Manastorm for flat lightning, wrath instead of skitters and arcane cloak instead of IC. I actually have PoB for power siphon wander I was planning to do before I decided to do ele hit instead as its better leauge stater:

The hastebin contains PoB code, so just copy it and import to pob (as I was not able to upload code to Pastebin because I reached the limit).

Excellent, that's exactly what I'm looking for, big thanks to you.
I'm assuming the damage for the Power Siphon will be a fair bit lower than the ele hit if I'm not mistaking.
Thanks again!
