[3.15] Elemental Hit Ballista Totem Hiero | Budget Friendly | League Start to Endgame
Hey.. let me see if i didnt get it wrong...
Marylene's Fallacy is better than usse a amulet with only +1lvl fire skill + increased elemental hit right?? i got a amulet with +1 fire skill + 19% fire damage + 23% elemental hit... but im not sure if i should use it or Marylene's Fallacy thx alot | |
" That is correct. Always use Marylene's Fallacy unless you really really really need the defensive stats and/or other things on the rare amulet(In this case though, it's probably better to get that defensive stat on other rare item slots). Only a +2 Skill Rare Amulet with high tier Crit Multiplier is close enough to Marylene's Fallacy DPS to consider using it(Not factoring in Defensive Needs on Amulet and Mary's Culling Strike) Cheers My 3.15 take/update to Lunasicc187's OneShotKill Elemental Hit Hierophant Guide

" Thanks, I went with a Replica Conquerer's Efficiency and I'm trying to get Elreon to drop some veiled jewellery so that I can unlock the -9 mana cost to non-channelling skils. I've been mapping pretty happily with your build for a few days now. Gear is still sub-optimal but getting there slowly. I have to reach 95 before I can swap to Chainbreaker + Berserk but at the moment my crit chance is dire; I'm trying to work out how your crit chance in PoB is almost 60% when mine is down at 30%. From what I can tell, the bulk of your damage increase over mine comes from three sources: 1 The corrupt frostferno with an extra +2 2 The +2 on the amulet. 3 Your corrupt bow (crit) I'm tempted to shop for a new amulet first since my low crit chance means I'm not getting much out of Marylene's Fallacy! If you have the time and the inclination to look at my build, that'd be greatly appreciated. keep up the good work! Last edited by xw_ziggy on Jan 29, 2021, 11:24:18 AM

" Hey ziggy, Regarding the Crit Chance, don't worry about it. This is because you are using Marylene's Fallacy which has that "40% less Critical Strike Chance". But the thing is as long as we are using a Diamond Flask(This is very important), that will cover this shortcoming enough to be able to take advantage of the DPS from the huge Crit Multiplier it provides. Actually a +2 Amulet without high tier Crit Multi is less DPS than Marylene's so not really "bulk of damage", don't waste your currency on it, that is End Game Tier, priority is even much more lower than Unnatural Instinct. One of the bulk damage you are missing is basically Lethal Pride(Akoya) with Berserk Gem. Try to prioritize it if you can(Should be 2nd upgrade after the resist one mentioned further below), which means getting the 2x -9 mana(Since you using Replica Conquerer, so 1 more -9 mana) Other things you can and should go for is Level 21 0% Quality Elemental Hit. It's quite a lot better than the 20/20 you are using. +2 Frostferno is a bit expensive this league, I guess cos this build has exploded so if budget is not enough, then come back to it later. I myself am also using a non corrupted one. 18% Crit Implicit Quill Rain should only be after the above Lethal Pride and L21 Ele Hit. If you have read "26. Upgrade Reference List", it's basically the same sequence/priority to acquire all these as what I listed there. For everyone reading this, just so you know, when someone ask me about their character, I personally also refer to "26. Upgrade Reference List" checklist too, only difference is its already in my head ;) Also I extracted your character, your fire and cold resistance is not capped at 75%, not only should they be minimum at 75%, aim for 109% uncapped on all 3 elemental resist. Chaos resist ideally at 0%+. Please squeeze more resist into those rings, they are ultra slacking on the job to provide sufficient resist. There's a reason why my Equipment(Mid Tier) suggestions for Rings says: " plus " Please follow it, Resist is priority on Rings, 2nd priority on rings is an open prefix to craft -9 mana, life will be after, if it's still available base on budget. And I am not sure about the Wave of Conviction Gem on your character. If it's not linked to Trap support, then it's useless. So either link it to Trap Support or put it in offhand if you want to level it, then Berserk Gem can use that slot when it is changed to Red. " It's about DPS, i.e. Damage per Second. The numbers works fine as long fights are longer(Rare/Boss Fights). With the low Crit Chance, against normal mobs, we might not have time to trigger any crits, but if they die in 1-2 shots, it doesn't matter right? Hope the above helps Regards My 3.15 take/update to Lunasicc187's OneShotKill Elemental Hit Hierophant Guide

Great help, thanks. Looks like I'm slowly plodding in the right direction with both 21 ele-hit and lethal pride in the works since yesterday.
I have 6x 20% quality elemental hit at level 19.5 in my offhand set, I hope to vaal one into a 21/20 tomorrow. I've also bought a Lethal Pride and levelled a Berzerk gem ready for when I have the -mana cost on rings, will take back the spare points I've dumped in the bow wheel at the bottom right to make that happen. As for resists, I'm resist capped - I think you need to set Alira in PoB to add 15% res-all maybe? It's not automatic. These are only budget rings to get this build going. I think it should be easy to get 109% capped and positive chaos with a bit of crafting ;) As for the Corrupt Quill Rain and Frostferno, it's good to know they're not massive impacts. I have six of each in my stash and I'm slowly socketing and linking them ready to be vaaled. For Quill Raid at least, chance of getting crit on the implicit looks very good! Thanks again for the tips. | |
" There is no need to wait, craft it with craft service for 25c. Google "poe craft service", or pm AtlasCraft. I still don't have this recipe, and I gave up. I've ran at least 50+ syndicate maps. So I've crafted it via craft service and forgot about this pain. Last edited by RawDamage on Jan 29, 2021, 4:10:38 PM

" Awesome! " You are right, I missed Alira ;) *Whoops* Now that you explained things, then I guess no issues with the rings :) " Actually Frostferno and Quill Rain adds A Lot of DPS, but since currency is not unlimited so have to min-max them and prioritize on getting the equipment that help us the most with the least currency. 6 in your stash! No wonder I can't find any in the market! Just kidding, all the best to your vaal! :) Cheers " Actually can just get them from the Community Forums(For cheaper/free), https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/communities Just look for reputable crafters with many vouches I got my -9 Mana from https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2515748 Tipped him some chaos for the craft One thing to make sure is to trade to the right name when in the crafter's hideout. Sometimes bad guys stay there to trade unknowing people into passing their item to them. My 3.15 take/update to Lunasicc187's OneShotKill Elemental Hit Hierophant Guide

Hello awesome people!
I've managed to get some new items since last time and I'm just destroying most things at the moment. I would like your input on where to go from here as I have 10ex to upgrade what I have and want to make sure I grab what makes the most sense. I had a look at 26. Upgrade Reference List(3.13) and am currently trying to find a Corrupted Frostferno and 20% qual Divergent gem. Thanks! https://pastebin.com/egKhFk8g Last edited by lillbrorsan on Jan 29, 2021, 5:58:58 PM

Hey, awesome build! Any thought to adding cluster jewels to the tree for additional damage? I'm doing great defensively, but it takes quite a while to take down some of the T14+ beyond bosses and map bosses. Sorry if I missed this in the guide.

Any new thoughts about scion combinations? Right now playing chieftain/raider, thinking about swapping to chief/hiero, although worried about mana problems and only thing that hiero gives is +1 totems, while raider gives a lot of attack speed + perm phasing. Also I see that OP is playing chief/slayer asc. Anyone can recommend something? Kinda sceptic about running full hiero templar, since I think leech is very valuable for totem build, also high HP pool on scion.
