POE Betrayal Elementalist Storm Brand Build - Uber Elder Killer
"Feed a storm with savage intent and not even the strongest walls will hold it back."
Elementalists deal in all things elemental. They have access to conditional but powerful element damage bonuses, some granted periodically or with a skill requirement.
The purpose of this build is to do all endgame content on a budget. Including Shaper, Uber Elder, Hitting Level 100. As a result, this build needs speed, damage and survivability.

Leveling
Level with Freezing Pulse and get Frost Bomb at level 4 - smooth sailing until you get Storm Brand at level 12. While leveling you also to want to use another skill for more DPS against bosses - I recommend Blade Vortex.
First 47 Points
For Leveling you also want to pick up Flame Dash, Brand Recall and Arcane Surge ASAP in a 3L. This will help with mobility, mana regen and give you more damage overall. This is a permanent setup pretty much even deep into endgame until you get en Empower level 3. For Auras I just used Herald of Thunder and Wrath
At Level 28 you'll want to pick up a Lightning Spire Trap, helps single Target immensely. Run it in a 4L. More sockets you have while leveling more smoother this build becomes.
Links while leveling are
Storm Brand - Controlled Destruction - Elemental Focus - Added Lightning Damage
This is until level 31 where you get your Ascendancy first Ascendancy - Shaper of Desolation. At this point , replace Elemental Focus for Lightning Penetration. At level 38 you Replace Added Lightning Damage for Concentrated Effect.
Your new 4L at level 38 is
Storm Brand - Controlled Destruction - Concentrated Effect - Lightning Penetration
If you can get a 5L or 6L (Tabula Rasa) - You can do
Storm Brand - Controlled Destruction - Concentrated Effect - Lightning Penetration - Faster Casting - Added Lightning Damage
It's important to note this is the pure leveling setup. I personally take Hypothermia and Added Cold damage later on for survivability in maps.
Tree at 84 Points
This is pretty much the endgame tree. At this point you can decide what you want more, life, damage utility.
Tree at 105 Points
This is level 82. At this point pick what you feel like you need most.

POE Betrayal Deadeye Voidfletcher Build - Low Budget Viabe, Fast, Endgame
An ordinary Void Shot isn't especially impressive, it deals around the same damage as a typical unsupported skill, but since it's not in a socketed piece of gear you've no way of adding support gems to it, which makes it seem underwhelming. However, it scales extremely well on extra arrows, better than any other skill (barrage and molten strike included), because it's extremely easy to get the explosions to overlap

POE Betrayal Deadeye Elemental Hit Starter Build - Cheap, High DPS, Endgame
Elemental Hit is an attack skill, executing a basic attack with added damage of a random element. An Elemental Hit may be performed with any weapon. Combat Focus now causes Elemental Hit to deal 50% less damage of the prevented element, including damage that gets converted from the prevented element to a new element. This build need a low budget, and it will cause an impressive damage. A good choice for novice players.
