Path of Exile

Advanced Ethereal Knives Elementalist build, updated for patch 3.22 Ancestor 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!

The Ethereal Knives Ignite Elementalist is a very strong, fun and enjoyable build in the current League of Path of Exile.

It has an exellent clearing speed, even on 100% Delirious maps, thanks to Corpse Explosions, Ignite Proliferation and mods from Headhunter. This build is also a strong boss-killer and is able to defeat the hardest ones.

This is not a glass-cannon build - it has multiple layers of defence, such as high Physical Damage Reduction, 100% Elemental Ailments Avoidance, Solid hybrid Life+ES pool with Mind over Matter and 100% Spell Suppression! But it's best defence is the terrifying DPS with decent gear and amazing Ignite DPS!

With all these advantages this build has a very simple playstyle: just press your Flasks, refresh Elemental Weakness and Auras from Divine Blessing setup; drop Arcanist Brand on boss-fights!
