Welcome to the professional PoE Shop. Today we will share the Brutal Exsanguinate Build - Elementalist Witch with you exiles. I hope this build can help you a lot. Now let's begin.
Equipment
Look for these mods on rare items
- Physical Damage
- Damage Over Time
- Spell Damage
- Dot Multiplier
- Elemental Resistances
- Life
- Dexterity
Mandatory Ring
Mods
- At least 30 Dexterity
- At least 50 Life
Notes
- You need one Unset Ring for this build.
- With this Unset Ring, you will be able to have Steelskin.
Mandatory Uniques
Cold Iron Point 
- Two Cold Iron Point daggers are the best weapons for this build. They grant "+3 to Level of all Physical Spell Skill Gems". This grants a big load of damage to our Exsanguinate.
- This dagger might be a little expensive during the first few days of a new league. You can use two Heartbreakers as a replacement while waiting for the price to drop.
The Primordial Chain 
- In this build, we are also abusing Elementalist's golem nodes.
- We need a lot of golems for it to work properly.
- This amulet grants "+3 to maximum number of golems".
- With this amulet, you will have seven golems, which grant:
369% increased damage
24% reduced physical damage taken
861 life regenerated per second
55% increased cast speed
- If, besides the Primordial Chain, you have one Anima Stone + two Primordial Eminence, you will have nine golems and:
459% increased damage
28% reduced physical damage taken
1000 life regenerated per second
64% increased cast speed
- Unfortunately, this amulet is also kind of expensive during the first few days of a new league. In that case, you can just use a generic amulet with life and resistances while waiting for the price to drop.
- Without this amulet, you will have four golems and:
234% increased damage
18% reduced physical damage taken
653 life regenerated per second
42% increased cast speed
Rare Helmet
Mods

- They are not so cheap.
- You can get a Bone Helmet as a budget option.
Rare Gloves
Mods

- Socketed gems deal 30% more Damage Over Time.
Notes
- I highly recommend you to get gloves like these to help with your single target damage.

Gameplay Gear
Gems

- When you get an armour with 5 or 6L, you can add Cruelty and Brutality.
Exsanguinate – Efficacy – Swift Affliction – Controlled Destruction – Cruelty – Brutality
- When facing big bosses, you can replace Chain and Unleash with Swift Affliction and Controlled Destruction.

Summon Stone Golem – Summon Flame Golem – Summon Lightning Golem – Summon Chaos Golem
- Stone Golem grants more life regeneration.
- Flame Golem grants more damage.
- Lightning Golem grants more cast speed.
- Chaos Golem grants reduced physical damage taken.
Gloves:
Corrupting Fever – Swift Affliction – Efficacy – Brutality
- Corrupting Fever causes your hits to apply Corrupting Blood for more Damage Over Time.
- It stacks up to 10 times.
Boots:
Vaal Grace – Vaal Righteous Fire – Poacher's Mark – Increased Duration
- Vaal Grace grants a temporary chance to avoid damage. You can use it on bosses.
- Poacher's Mark causes enemies to take a lot more physical damage and even generates frenzy charges. (You will need the "Additional Curse" body armour in order to use it)
- Vaal Righteous Fire grants more than 19% spell damage for some seconds, and it is great for bosses.
Dagger:
Pride – Malevolence – War Banner
- Pride causes enemies to take a lot more physical damage.
- Malevolence grants more Damage Over Time Multiplier.
- War Banner causes enemies to take more physical damage.
Flame Dash – Arcane Surge (Level 1) – Storm Brand
- Flame Dash is a great movement skill.
- Storm Brand hits enemies lots of times per second. It is great for keeping ten Corrupting Blood stacks on bosses, and the Corrupting Blood stacks even generate frenzy charges with Poacher's Mark.

Steelskin
- Steelskin grants a shield that absorbs damage. You can put it in your left-click shortcut, so you will cast while walking.
