PoE 3.22 | Building an extremely fun juiced mapper with Controlled Blaze

Hi folks, in this video I explore Controlled Blaze and using it to take an extremely satisfying mapping build to another level. This is a Shield Charge Ignite Elementalist which is absurdly fun to play. My hope is that one build showcasing that Controlled Blaze can be used effectively will lead to more.


IMPORTANT, READ BEFORE POB - this is not a new player friendly build, and you will still sometimes die to one-shots or Kaosis slams and the like. There are several easy to overlook breakpoints and gearing decisions that can severely impact your damage and survivability if you miss them. This is also configured as an SC trade build.

PoBs:
~200d budget (from video): https://pobb.in/iLWgjBdWLm9_
~90d budget build (50d gear + Progenesis): https://pobb.in/1Q0OJcZbfxWM

Credit to my buddy Soup for helping me brainstorm ideas for this build, and in particular suggesting the chest.

EDIT: Couple quick clarifications because if you talk for 24 straight minutes you are bound to misspeak somewhere... (1) I say Action Speed when I mean to say Attack Speed when covering APS breakpoints and (2) Increased Elemental Damage is NOT applied step-wise and instead is applied a single time after conversion. Thanks to Florian for the correction.
