PoE 3.25 Atlas & Mapping Build - Best Build to Clear Maps in Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur

This is an efficient Atlas build in Path of Exile 3.25, which clears maps fast and is able to kill large groups of monsters while mapping. This POE 3.25 Elementalist build is centered around utilizing ignite for map clearing, you can also use it to level your single character, and it could be a great choice for Path of Exile currency making. The key things are maximizing damage skills, prioritizing resist gear, crafting where possible, and smoothly transitioning between optimized skill setups as you level.

1. Build Pros:

- Very good at clearing maps and blasting through packs of monsters quickly thanks to the Wave of Conviction skill.

- Great for softcore play.

- Did not receive any significant nerfs in Settlers of Kalguur.

- Can use an Obliteration wand for big exploding pops while mapping.

- Can be used to get all four Voidstones.

- Easy to play and low budget, can be a good league starter.

2. Build Cons:

- Not suited for boss killing and not effective against tough single targets.

- Not suitable for Uber or T17.

- Not recommended for hardcore play where death is permanent.

- Lost some armor due to changes in the game.

3. Ascendancy - Elementalist

I - Shaper of Flames: makes hits always inflict ignite, removing the need for a chance to ignite. It also amplifies the ignition from non-fire skills like Wave of Conviction and allows all of your damage types to contribute to the power of your ignites. In combination with other tools like Combustion support, this maximizes the build potential.

II - Mastermind of Discord: makes exposures applied more powerful, exposures from skills will lower resistances by an additional -25%, for a total of -25 to 40% depending on the skill, and also grants the player mana regeneration for a short duration after they apply exposure personally. This multiplies its damage versus enemies for a Wave of Conviction Elementalist build that utilizes exposure.

III - Heart of Destruction: toggling between more damage and AoE depending on hitting rares/unique enemies. This helps further scale the elemental or ignite damage from skills like Wave of Conviction when encountering tougher enemies.

IV - Bastion of Elements: provides a damage absorption mechanic through Primal Aegis, which prevents a certain amount of incoming elemental damage and any reflected ones. This allows the build to survive small hits of elemental damage that would otherwise hurt it.
