[3.22] CantripN's Tri-Elemental Guardian Crit Caster

Just placing this here as a placeholder. If this build turns out good in practice, I'll update this whenever I find the time.

The general idea is using Guardian with some kind of physical spell to benefit from all 3 elemental auras. Specifically, planning on Ethereal Knives + Blade Blast currently, but literally any Physical spell works, so pick your poison.

If you go for something like Storm Burst you'll need Duration scaling as well, etc.

You can go Staff Block like I'm planning to, or Shield Block (for Shield Charge), but it's pretty easy to cap Block either way.

Placeholder first!

I'm doing the same thing! Will be interested to hear how it goes for you. I'm in SSF so it will most likely be a diff xp

So am I :)

22/08 Update - Still no proper staff in sight, in red maps with this atm:

Dual Wield and Ele Overload is giving me the DPS I need for now. Once we get a proper staff, Crit Staff Block it is.

Do you stream?

I do not. As a final update for now (since I've started leveling a summoner, not because EK is bad): EK is very fun for mapping/Heist, etc, but it has very lacking single target. I managed to hit about 3m EK DPS so far, with the backup of BB for 12m+ from the blades made per second. This was enough to be #1 EK on SSF from any class - so the concept works.

It feels pretty great to play, but you really need to go for a Shaper Shield with Life on block or a Staff to be able to stand in place and use BB fully.

It does decent enough damage if you're good with using BB and the boss is willing to stand in place for a bit.

In any case, it opened up my full atlas, watchstones, etc. I'll get back to it later.
