[3.21] Scion Explosive Arrow Ballista Totems

In 3.20 I used this build to league start.
I copied this build from streamer Palsteron and Zizaran

PoB


Proof - Empty PoB, 1 million DPS

https://pobb.in/I23HGcpx4FCl

Leveling Tree - PoB - 3 million dps
https://pobb.in/QuJEhOdaBHbi

End game tree, adapted from Brunowa - 27 million dps
https://pobb.in/goTjG0xp6EG8



Things to avoid
Don't get pierce or multiple arrows. They will break the build.
Also make sure there is no added fire damage to attacks on any of the items.
Deadly ailments is good only in the end game.

Some Upgrades.
Also possible to use Defiance Banner if you can down level precision or get rid of precision.
And also use GMP with Frenzy.


How to Level up

Use an 2H Axe or 2H Sword and Splitting Steel to level up and farm basic currency


Level 1-4

Splitting Steel

--
Level 4-8
Caustic Arrow - Mirage Archer

--
Level 8 - 12

Caustic Arrow - Mirage Archer - Void Manipulation Support
Ballista Totem - Burning Arrow - Pierce

-----------------

Level 12 - 32

We will be using 2 skills, CA for clearing and Toxic Rain Ballista to more dps on Boss/Rares.

Caustic Arrow - Mirage Archer - Void Manipulation Support
Toxic Rain - Ballista Totem - Void Manipulation Support

Pick up as you level
Withering Step - Flame Dash - Despair


It will be rough leveling till 32

-----------------

Level 32+

Clear
Explosive Arrow - Ballista Totem - Elemental Damage With Attacks - Lesser Multiple Projectiles

Boss
Explosive Arrow - Ballista Totem - Elemental Damage With Attacks - Faster Attacks

Flammability + Determination + Precision
Frenzy + Lesser Multiple Projectiles


--> Buy gems from Siosa From Act 3 Library

--> See POB for more gems.

-----------------

Level 70+

EA + Ballista Totem + Lifetap + Combustion + Ignite Proliferation + Elemental Damage With Attacks


-----------------

Get a Quill Rain as soon as possible.

Quill Rain is great, once you have Attack Speed on your gear & tree, you can use Storm cloud / rare bow.

Skirmish Unique Quiver till early-mid mapping

-----------------

Endgame prep

Level 70+ how to progress toward endgame

1. Buy 6-link body
2. Buy Dyadian Dawn
3. Upgrade all gear life/resists/armour/evasion
4. Try to upgrade to rare bow, simple +2
5. Cap spell suppression after level 85
6. Get more damage mods on gear

If you have more than 5 ignite million DPS, remove Elemental Damage Attacks and Use Awakened Deadly Ailments.

Bow guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI_pMu56gZU
Gear - Buy armour + evasion base and use Essences.


Ignite Proliferation support gem is for clearing fast in maps, if you are just bossing, you can use Awakened Elemental damage with attacks support along with Awakened Deadly ailments


Day 3 Update
Here is my day 3 PoB with 1.5 million dps, I spent 100 chaos
2 million if your Arcanist brand works!

Notes on the build.

I did some changes, I am using Elementalist instead of occultist.
Because of Mana issues I think Occultist is bad.
Also the DPS difference is not much.
And you get reflect immunity, you can ignore that map mod.
Plus you need to get lightning damage to attacks for Shocking.

I self-cast flammability, I should probably link it to Arcanist.

I have turned off Defiance Banner, once I get more mana, I wil be using that.

Once I have more Chromatic Orbs, I will use Culling Strike as well on Frenzy.

What are some ways you would scale dmg beyond 3 million dps?
Here is the modified endgame tree from burnowa

https://pobb.in/goTjG0xp6EG8

Elementalist reaches 35 million, Scion gets 27 million dps.
This is what i was planning as well for my starter.
This or captainlance's holy relics.

Not sure about the Quill rain with it's 30% less damage.

Also i would rather go PF than Chieftain. It's so much free stuff especially on a league start - pretty much permanent ele flasks.
Once you got attack mods on your gear and tree, swap to Stormcloud or Rare short bow.
Quillrain is great, don't worry about the 30% less damage.

I am testing few things on how best to level up before EA.

Posting in this thread as a way to bookmark it...excellent thread mate.

Was going to ask you on leveling tips on your cwdt build thread :)

I found an early Skirmish Unique Quiver. Is it worth using through maps or should I just use a rare quiver?

Elemental Equilibrium applies exposure.
