3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.

to the pros here. i love the build and beside the uber pinacles nothing is safe but i cant manage to kill them.
do i miss anything significant ?

And any idea what i could try to slam on my amu ?

I'm in the process of putting together my end game gear. Is Blizzard Crown still the way to go for the helmet? Are there any other options to consider?

Put down your POB link so we can look more, but here are some things I see missing from your gear

Ring flammability

Gloves attack speed

Amulet +1 all skills

Bow additional elemental damage or attack speed when near unique

Quiver could have more damage

Unnatural instinct jewel gives a huge amount of damage

I really suggest you read palsteron maxroll guide for gear progression for mid and end game. You can also look at my character for some gear suggestions

It feels like that -fire damage res is BiS for us, in addition to the added cold damage which procs our EE

Hi, playing EA with Champion,

how does Cremator on large cluster jewel work? On poe ninja most players use cremator and get deadly ailments instead of ingine proliferation?

Anyone tried it?

Have not used it, but I use the ignites you inflict spread to enemies from the eldritch embers on gloves. That allows me to remove ignite prolif and use a different gem on my bow.. you can check my build

heya, can you post your POB please? i'm trying this build this league and i'm slowly picking up what's important for the build. not sure what the next upgrades are, so it's great to have some reference.

i see a lot of players on poeninja not running lifetap so they can fit empower into the main links, but it feels very restrictive on mana. is there a clever way to run this?

also, i've read some posts about POB warning about "ignite DPS exceeds in game limit". is there such a cap in the game? if so, do we try to spec out for more QoL/utility when we encounter this?

i'm new to this build, but just based on poeninja, there seems to be 3 variants.

1. any good base: this is used with good eldritch mods (mana reservation, etc) or influenced mods (faster ignite, reduced fire resistance of nearby)

2. blizzard crown: easy way to get cold damage for Elemental Equilibrium, and this damage is also added as part of our ignite damage thanks to our ascendancy. the 2 good influenced mods can work together with blizzard crown, since you get to keep to "adds # to # cold damage" implicit while still having influenced mods.

3. devouring diadem: Eldritch Battery lets us use Energy Shield instead of Mana, so we can drop lifetap in favour of Empower. socketed gems get a huge reservation efficiency bonus, so having 3 skills that reserve a base 50% (grace, determination, malevolence/wrath) paired with enlighten gives a lot of breathing room to run defiance banner and high level precision.

Hello. I am playing this build for the first time and really enjoy it. right now I'm kinda having a problem with survivalibity. it's looks okay on paper 40k armor ,90 pdr with flask ,100 spell supress and damage is fine but I got one shotted a lot so can anyone take a look at my pob and figure it out and if you can give an advice on how to improve my build that would be great, thanks. here's pob https://pastebin.com/Bdm1VFYG
