Ascendancy Breakdown
The Elementalist is our Ascendancy of choice because she automatically resummons her Golems and gives us incredible Ignite damage.
- Shaper of Flames Causes all damage sources to have the ability to Ignite and have 100% Ignite chance.
- Heart of Destruction gives a large amount of AOE and damage against Bosses.
- Liege of the Primordial makes our Golems automatically resummon 4 seconds after they've died. This makes the build actually playable because of how you'll explode your best friend.
- Mastermind of Discord causes Exposure (a Resistance penalty) to subtract an additional -25% to any Resistance giving a huge damage increase.
