3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.
" Hello, I added in malevolence and had to drop precision as you said, clear speed seems faster, thank you! Here's my pob: https://pobb.in/Y5kkiNAzvoti Some stacked essence rares and blight bosses take forever to kill and the build feels really squishy, dying in t14 maps. I don't have 100% hit rate and I'm at 20 not 22 fuses. Do you have any tips for what to upgrade next? Editado por útlima vez por LadyLoriana#6426 en 15 dic. 2023 13:00:44

" I think in your case I would sacrifice a bit of clear speed by picking up skill effect duration nodes and change your faster attacks gem to ele dmg with attacks. That's the easier change I would make, and the costly one would be to start thinking about getting more gear with DoT multi (bow, quiver, amulet). Your defenses look fine except for your low chaos res, but if you're feeling squishy then I suspect it could be either the maps you're running or your playstyle. The last time I played this build, I remember having the most success on open maps where I could circle around mobs and maps with narrow paths would always be the most risky. Consider playing around with your gem setups to fit a molten shell in there to help protect during burst dmg, with or without CWDT depending on your reaction time/skills. Enduring cry would be good to have somewhere on your main gear as well. If you're not good at juggling skills, you can put enduring cry on mouse1 so it triggers on cooldown without thinking about it. I think I said this before to someone else, but are you using both life flasks? If not, then change one to an amethyst or silver depending on what you feel you need more (chaos res or AS/move speed). If you're good at juggling utility flasks, consider using enkindling orbs to enhance them. If you're not, use instilling orbs to automate them.

" Okay, thank you for the suggestions. I think I'll have to sacrifice my culling strike links to fit in molten shell and enduring cry. How essential is culling strike? I think at low hp, bosses are already about to die from ignite. |

Culling strike is never essential, but it's always nice to have. I wouldn't say you have to get rid of it if you can change your gem links a bit. Hextouch is your lazy way to apply flammability, but it's also lowering its effectiveness and your DPS a bit because of that. You can move that to arcanist brand and culling strike to the frenzy link. Umm, is Portal in your boots? Put it in your weapon swap! Faster attacks on frenzy is nice, but is it essential? 5.8 attacks/sec vs. 4.75 attacks/sec. Play around with stuff in PoB then in game to see how it feels.
Edit: Certainly not all the options available, just a couple that stood out real quick. Editado por útlima vez por Dromlin#3284 en 15 dic. 2023 16:57:08

Hello,
I'm new to this build and I want to know where's to go next with my gear, from the cheapest to the expensive ones, here's my PoB: https://pobb.in/GCDh95rtO-Ba Things I'm looking forward right now: -I know my flasks are bad for now. -I'm still trying to cap my Suppress (85% atm) - looking for a new Glove - -Sometimes I get one shotted (might be because of Suppress not capped) so that's why I'm still using Brass Dome, before switching to a new Armor just to be sure that Suppress will help me survive more, and to get more Chaos Res (I'll use Atziri's Promise to help with that later). -I'm using Frostblink because I like it more than Flame Dash. -I don't know for which should I swap Ignite Proliferation Gem on Bow for since I have Proliferation on Gloves. -I'll try to get Watchtowers on Amulet later since it's expensive right now, and I'm looking for the cheapest upgrades before the expensive ones. Any tips on how/what should I prioritize things is appreciated, Thanks! Editado por útlima vez por MollyRedWolf#7483 en 16 dic. 2023 9:47:23

" Lifetap is your 6th link if you're happy with your gloves. Assuming you're running all your auras, that leaves you 28 mana to cast totems with? I can't imagine that feels good, but if you can't switch to lifetap quickly then I would get a mana flask with Enduring on it. Your defenses don't look bad except for your chaos res, but that doesn't really explain getting one shot. My first thought is that you may be playing too aggressively when you need to be planting totems and avoiding getting near anything. Try to get a charm with totems taunt for 2 sec after summoning to see if that helps. To help with DPS, you can get a couple skill effect duration nodes and those will boost up your fuses quickly. You should start working towards the cluster jewel socket and get a 3 passive skill cluster jewel with Mortifying Aspect so you can run Malevolence. You would probably have to drop Precision to make it work, so you would need to add accuracy in somewhere to account for that. Banner you can get a charm to remove banner mana reservation. Aside from all that, you're really just at the point where you need to start getting divs to buy/craft gear to improve your build. |

Been enjoying this build so far, wondering what jewels we want to be socketing into the medium/small slots for endgame now? I don't think there is any more mana reservation small socket gems which the PoB has, and megalomaniac has so many possibilities that it would be good to narrow that down.
Also really liking the Maji path atm, penetrating fire resist tincture and the extra life/resists is a great way to start this character before properly gearing up |
