[3.21] Arc DOT Elementalist (Low budget)

Intro & build description

This is not your average Arc build. This build is converting lightning damage into cold and fire which allows for spreading burns and shattering enemies. I would consider this a more interesting version of the regular arc which can be a great league starter in the upcoming Crucible league.

Build Pros

  • Fast clear speed
  • Budget-friendly
  • League starter
  • Straightforward gameplay

Build Cons

  • Can't do all map mods (Elemental Reflect)

Passive tree(s) and Path of Building
