Another option I am playing with for faster map clearing is gemming a 2nd bow and using ballista totem+Tornado shot

Can you elaborate on the full 6-link for that please? Loving the idea, thanks!

Yes and I have changed my tree a tad, I dropped Master Fletcher for Piercing shots so I don't have to run that weak pierce gem....instead I run slower projectiles for more damage on Shrapnel.

Gems for Tornado shot(which is what I am running 90% of the time ----its super handy on Rituals to reach everything) Tornado shot>Ballista Totem>Vicious Proj>Impale>Brutality.

You only get 6 totems with Tornado shot vs the 8 for Shrapnel, but it is more than enough to clear effectively on maps/leveling.

I have the updated POB in build now--- I actually put a 2nd chin sol in off weapon slot for tornado and am leveling the gems so that I can just hit "x" and swap between the totems types. I will quality up my shrapnel gems first for sure---since that is our boss bread and butter. For Tornado shot I think the ultimate bow is arborix---you will get 5 arrows out of that bow for super clearing....and the free lvl 30 dash. Iron Reflexes is absolute garbage on bosses however----in 3.9 Arborix used to swap between iron reflexes and speed running.....and all of a sudden you'ld lose all your evade and speed and get smoked. Most likely why they changed it.

Below is where this build generates frenzy and endurance charges...chance on kill for each. Typically you cant get endurance charges in most archery builds...so it is a nice perk. I tried this build as a ranger....the dps was there but the survive was not...Champion is definitely the ascendency type to use.




I would say 2nd fortify set of nodes is a no go---4 wasted nodes before you get to anything worthwhile and its melee based set of nodes.

Maybe I am doing something wrong (not that high lvl yet), but I never have more than the minimum 1 endurance charge, or 1 frenzy charge without actively using frenzy. Which would make sense, as the wiki states:
"Any charges generated by the totem are simply discarded, and will not transfer back to the player." and "Kills made by totems are credited to the creator of the totem for the purposes of experience gain, but effects such as life gain on kill will not affect the player. "

Is it then even worth it to invest that many points for just 1 charge?

Very good questions, I wish to know too. Thanks for the answers Whar.
