Path of Exile

Eviscerate Ignite CI Elementalist poe build made for the Mercenaries league.

You will receive all the gear and gems to be able to play this Path of Exile build. The character itself is not included!

Eviscerate CI Lightning Elementalist is a tanky, high-damage build that transforms the battlefield into a storm of electrified destruction. Using Chaos Inoculation and stacking a massive pool of Energy Shield, the build reaches impressive survivability while delivering devastating Lightning Ignites with every cast of Eviscerate. The skill sends out wide waves of energy that effortlessly clear screens, while Shaper of Flames and Shaper of Storms guarantee that every hit ignites and shocks enemies for maximum effect!

The weapon of choice, Ephemeral Edge, scales your Lightning Damage directly from your Energy Shield, and Aegis Aurora provides constant recovery every time you block. With 75% block chance for both attacks and spells, combined with 84% maximum elemental resistances, the build shrugs off incoming damage with ease. A pair of Forbidden Jewels grants access to Vile Bastion, giving powerful Energy Shield regeneration and full stun immunity, making the build feel unshakable even in the most dangerous encounters.

Eviscerate in this build isn't cast manually—it triggers automatically on block, which happens constantly thanks to 75% block chance. Instead of mindless spam, you get a precise, impactful combat rhythm where every strike is a high-powered wave, ripping through enemies with brutal force. You aim each attack for maximum effect, and between triggers, Smite and Arcanist Brand keeps your damage high. This playstyle doesn’t limit you—it elevates every moment, making each cast feel explosive.

If you’re looking for a build that combines incredible tankiness, massive scalable damage, and a unique playstyle unlike anything else in Path of Exile, this is the perfect choice. Effortless mapping, reliable bossing, and durable mechanics make this Elementalist a true powerhouse from start to finish.
