By popular request, the return of my Arc Ignite Elementalist build, revamped and ready for league start in 3.26! This beginner friendly guide can be used by any player no matter how new or advanced.

EDIT: see pinned comment for important note, he makes a good point. I had not thought about the interaction of EO and Vaal Arc and I definitely don’t want to bait anyone. Good catch!

POB: https://pobb.in/UysxfglfHSQn (custom config settings currently used to simulate new Ascendancy nodes, that's why you will notice Shaper of Flames is not ticked. Will change this when POB is updated with the patch changes)

One thing I forgot to mention in the early mapping upgrade section of the video is to get a Vaal Arc ASAP for big targets. Easy to make yourself with Arc gems from the vendor and Vaal orbs, just apply them until you get lucky.

Videos from the previous version of the guide are safe to use, feel free to check out the whole series.
