I find this build very interesting to start 3.17 with because I am a noob with no hands, and need something really tanky. On the other hand, TR damage worries me for old and new end-game bosses.

So I'm between this build and Explosive Arrow ballistas which should be less tanky but the skill was buffed (and it seems will be meta this league).

I'm talking about this build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2kLVUbzy-c

How the damage of this build compares with the EA one? Thanks in advance for any input.

EDIT: just saw the EA ballista is a witch, not duelist, my bad. So maybe both builds can't be really compared.

My first test of this build was during scssf delirium event after torture with my favourite summoner witch build. I was so impressed so desided to try hcssf 90 lvl / 4 lab - second hc attempt after sc years in poe. Dead 89 (lol) in Jun research mission t10 (knew it was dangerous, timer forced me to run into large pack of mobs with syndicate members), and only 2 lab trials / offerings.
Even without goal attainment I wander how far sc player can go with this build! I like ssf, but previous league attempts were limited by low damage or low defence (hate deaths) in ssf gear in endgame. After transition to scssf (with maps/resources/delve progress from few old leagues) 89lvl char with 2 5-links 19lvl gems (tr 21 with Tora in research and vaal orb) , no quality, no uniques or clusters, was able to farm delve 160 depth 83mlvl - enough damage but dangerous.
My verdict: amazing ssf league starter for players who loves summoner/totem play style.

Last leagues had no much time for poe, so have few questions:
1. Ailment avoidance. Ailments are annoying. Craft on gloves/helms still viable? Dont see this option on crafting bench, only hybrid stat/1ailment
2. New (TR) nerfs. Not critical, or am I wrong? Waiting new league, have great ssf plans with your build)

P.S: was unlucky in 19 3-fossil/annul bow craft on 84ilvl base (found in ssf stash). Crafted final version 2k alt/regal, got dot multi 2 suffix, bench cannot roll attack, besriary suffix to prefix (successful), multimod.

Hi! New player. I'm wondering why do we want to use lifetap on the selfcast, won't that kill us? I'm following the notes in the pob and what's written here. Maybe I'm missing a gem that I should be using?
