TbXie's Ignite Penance Brand Elementalist Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon Powers (PoE Necropolis)

Scourge League Update

Please check out this section of the guide for our updates for Scourge league.

Ascendancy (Witch – Elementalist)

Shaper of Flames

Shaper of Flames is the enabler of this build. It allows all our damage to Ignite which creates a multitude of benefactors as mentioned beforehand on the main page.

Mastermind of Discord

Being a pretty big damage increase is one of the reasons while taking this node early is pretty good. However, the mana regeneration is fairly handy during campaign. Therefore, take this second.

Heart of Destruction

This ascendancy point provides with some much wanted clear because of the Area of Effect as well as a good amount of damage against bosses. A very well all-around node to get you to your last Ascendancy more reliably and conveniently.

Shaper of Storms

Shaper of Storms is an enabler for a lot of builds as in it grants builds so much unconditional damage. However, Lightning Ignite builds excel at using this node as you are dealing mainly Lightning Damage to scale the 25% more ailment effect the node has as well as increasing the damage taken by your Ignite resulting in it being more than a 30% More Damage multiplier which is pretty insane!

Bandits

There really only is one option here. You want to kill all for Skill Points. Sure, getting some Resistances and Mana Regeneration from Alira isn’t terrible as a league starter but capping resistances really isn’t an issue on this build! Eramir just offers so much flexibility that it almost always is better than the others!

Pantheons

Major Gods

Soul of the Brine King gets your Freeze Immunity & Stun Avoidance, therefore it’s the pick of choice here.

Minor Gods

I would recommend Soul of Shakari here as Chaos damage over time can be fairly lethal. The other options don’t really offer us much. If you’re annoyed by Burning Ground through, like me, Abberath is a good pick too.

Upgrading your Pantheons

Pantheon powers can be upgraded by using Divine Vessel in the Map Device while you are activating the particular Map that contains the boss you need. Once you’ve killed the boss and captured his soul, you can consume the Divine Vessel, which’ll show up filled in the map device, or deliver it to Sin in Oriath for extra dialogue relating to the game’s lore.
