Elementalist is an Ascendancy passive skill for the Ascendant based on the Elementalist Ascendancy class.

This passive grants elemental damage penetration, increased herald effect, additional golem limit, immunity to reflected elemental damage, and causes shock to always apply increased damage taken at a minimum value.
