[showcase] chill solo 5way/map blaster: High-end Ignite arc elementalist: Communion Golem+Herald stacking all-rounder

Help Needed

##[5way showcase] - [mapping showcase]

#TLDR: pob link under the wall of text: stack goelms + Community = stronK + stack heralds = stuff goes boom.

Hello community! This was my second character after my league starter and as I always loved ignite builds I decided I wanted to play one and try to scale around the Communion support.

Now due to how Communion works, the obvious option would be golem stacking as it already has great synergy with stacking due to Primordial Bond (10% damage per golem) and golems buffs being overall very powerful; it now double dip for massive damage.

Using a volatile vaal orb'd Primordial chain for +4 golems instead of 3, lvl 2-3 Congregation in a +2minion or a +1 gems item combined with a Golem of horde gem + anima stone setup; we can now reach 32 max golems which will give us a massive 320% increased damage multiplier per Primordial Bond and a massive flat physical added via Communion.

Due to this, a Skin of the lord is extremely powerful as it will boost a lvl 4 Communion support to level 6. With 32 golems this is over 1000 flat physical added to a spell before damage effectiveness. This enables us to run pretty much any spell we want to apply the ignite with as long as it scales well with added flat damage + modifiers such as Phys added as extra from Grace of the Goddess or Obliteration wand will become quite attractive for damage scaling and utility.

And our third scaling factor: Herald of hive+herald stacking with herald effect: Not only does herald of ash/purity have great synergy with flat phys, as we are already covering % increased damage and base flat damage; hives more multiplier per herald is a massive damage increase combined with herald of hives itself pretty much turn you into an Autobomber as long as you have at least one source of explosions to start an ignite chain. Explodie is needed due to Herald of hives being unable to ignite, so it needs to trigger an explosion on kill that can then ignite; and due to all the generic damage we scale; the explosions will deal massive damage and apply a strong ignite that then kills and sets off a new explosion that cascades forward.

Passive tree-wise: We want to grab as much -res ,dot multi and faster ignite/ailment damage as increased damage will have little no effect due to how much we are getting from Primordial Bond stacking.

##pobb variations:

###bossing/merc hunting - pennance brand:

##mapping with high density/5way:## #####(like breach, herald of hive kills everything by just touching them and cascades)

##other pobbs - less min/max versions:
