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

Would the new Kinetic Bolt (or KB/PS) also work well with this tree/setup with appropriate links? I really wanted to try the new skills and this is the best looking setup I've been able to find so far.

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.

Lol dude, second time i see you posting in a buildthread with ES on hit watcher shenanigans, are you obsessed or what? ;P

Honestly when I happened upon this build it looked too good to be true. But really looking at it, shit checks out. Don't feel like playing any of the "meta" league starts, so I'm just gonna say fuck it and league start this. Preemptively saying thanks for the build :)

At first look into your POB i need to say, that you may have overseen something.
Was already wondering how you get 9k EHP, the ES you can drop out of that calc, no sustain for it, little leech on ES doesnt count in my world.
Bigger problem is even, that you simply cant use MoM.
You totally forgot about the mana reservation of spellslinging my dude.
And lastly, because you trigger the spells indigon wont work too.

One thing I would reconsider is going full tri-elemental. This is because those new cluster notable are insane for tri-ele.

I'm thinking something like Sadist (60% increase elemental damage) and Corrosive Element (-10 tri elemental pen), Inspired oppression (60% mana regen).

Hmm you have a point. But that is pretty dependant on having good cluster setup, evne though I guess with the investment required I guess good cluster jewel would be similar investment. We will see. Even withut fire in current state tri ele on final setup is no doing that much less damage so it might be good.

Not really, as those 2 want flat damage, but I dont have any. But I have PoB i was working on for power siphon/kblast/bolt here so you can check it out: https://pastebin.com/EVXnDX8b (its mana stacking too but with manastorm on top of indigon)

Right? I am super hyped and hoping that the build will work at least as good as it does on paper :D

Oh i am not using or planning to use Spellslinger at all. I am using *Wandslinger* what is node on tree for spell damage -> attack damage, so my whole mana will be unreserved.

For ES leech, I think the amount I have is plenty, and also ofc with better gear the ES can be higher what means even better leech (and also, crafting 10% max life as max es is an option instead of 8/8 life/mana, and corrupted soul will be most likely very synergistic too). So there are options to make it even more consistent.

For Indigon ramp, the mana cost is ramped on spending any kind of mana, its not spells only, so that will work as I am spending mana with my Elemental Hit to ramp it.

ops, was simultaniously in both your threads, my fault lol

For indigon purpose, ok, manacost of attack, but then youre still killing your manapool and so the MoM or not?

OP are you going to play this for league start and update it as you play?

Also, elemental hit whilst leveling? sounds painful?

Yeah, but Indigon builds are using MoM for quite a while now (I also played Indigon build with MoM in 3.9 with similar mana spending and worse mana recovery as this build has) and it was more than fine, most of the time I was at full mana, even when ramped.

Yeah, that is the plan.

For leveling, I really want to try and just go with Ele Hit right away. Maybe its not the best or fastest idea, but as long as we rush Wandslinger + EE it will be fine imo.

Small build update:

13th March 2020
- Added single target and clear setup to leveling section

Do we just level with two spell damage wands?
