Level 76 Hybrid Blast Rain of Trarthus Elementalist^3.26

Notes

Priority list:
75% all resistances (with purity of elements)
Chaos resistance >0%
Exposure implicit on gloves
Kaom's binding
Spell Suppression >= 100%
>=1 million dps. More is nice but not required
Chaos resistance >30%
Phys -> ele implicit on chest
75% all resistances (without purity of elements) AND Avoid Shock/Ele Ailments boots (This allows us to drop Purity of Elements, so we can take Grace instead)



A note for New players: Exact resistances don't matter (you can swap the resistance type using Harvest bench), exact base doesn't matter either (of course some better than others, it's more important for high evasion/es which is the body armour in this build)
!!make sure to hit 75% of all elemental resistances as soon as possible!!
Don't sweat too much trying to get exact replacements of the gear in the POB. Many items in POE have interchangeable stats. 
Exact number on Brutal Restraint doesn't matter, but must be Balbala if you build for The Traitor. Do not use 5 flasks if you take The Traitor. 4th Flask could be a Life Flask with remove bleeding/corrupted blood.

POB is lying about our max phys hit, it isn't calculating our phys taken to ele conversion properly.
Gear in POB is very conservative to allow for some wiggle room. EHP/dodge chance in the League Start variant is dangerously low.

The build can definitely scale past Guacomole Money tier, but there's likely other builds out there that will perform better for the price after that. The goal at Guacomole Money tier is to acquire enough currency to fund your next build. 
If you decide to scale past guacomole tier, here's some ideas:
- skitterbots with arkhon's tools
- dialla's malefaction (conflagration in body armour)
- crit based with perfect agony (drop all dot multi in favor of crit multi) [idk how good this would be tbh, it seems more suited for poison builds]

CURRENT UNKNOWNS:
Is accuracy even necessary? (caustic arrow doesn't need it.. but conflagration is a bit different wording)
Will Conflagration dot overlap? (very likely that it will not. if it does, conflagration will be crazy strong, and we will want to scale overlaps)
When is Conflagration first available to Witches? (Conflagration is offered to the Ranger for completing Sever the Right Hand, so you could buy it from a Ranger friend/player, otherwise, it's likely going to be made available from either the Library sidequest or A6 Lilly)
Will Blast Rain of Trarthus be easy to acquire? (Maybe. Heist did see some QoL changes. You could run two conflagrations until you get Blast Rain of Trarthus then I suppose)

!!This POB has a custom note to adjust for the Golem nerf. Once POB updates, make sure to remove that custom line of text in Configuration!!
!!Replace Blast Rain of Trarthus in Body Armour for Conflagration once POB is updated!!


Leveling:
-Follow typical witch leveling until you get access to Conflagration. You don't have to swap to Conflagration during leveling, but it's certainly an option
-If you do swap to Conflagration, prioritize 4 links and survivability. It likely won't need that much damage. Passive tree won't look much different, but you should deprioritize spell suppression nodes


Ascendancy priority:
first lab: shaper of flames
second lab: liege of the primordials
third lab: Shaper of storms (yep)
fourth lab: refund shaper of storms -> mastermind of discord + heart of destruction

if you have any questions, let me know!
