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

Thanks yes, this was 3.20 imported into 3.21.

Hi Brunowa! Long-time fan of your TR Ballista build. I've pushed it I think as far as I can go, without eliminating either my HH or Devouring Diadem, so I'm building another toon's gear to try this out.

Thanks for the guide, it's very helpful!

A few remarks on the levelling portion:
- The notes in pob say Freezing Pulse + Momentum, but Momentum only supports attacks now.
- The "100% increased Damage with Hits against Ignited Enemies" fire mastery (enabled by Combustion) seems insanely good for levelling before the swap to EA. And even afterwards the hit portion of EA should be non-negligible for some time. I think it's worth taking early on at Heart of Flame, and keeping until we respec Heart of Flame.
- The "6% increased Cast Speed for each different Non-Instant Spell you've Cast Recently" also seems very strong for acts 2-4 and can be taken at Mental Rapidity. For just 1 point it's at least 6% Cast Speed but often more from Purifying Flame / Totem / Flame Wall / movement skill. The only reason not to take this would be if we're extremely short on respec points for the EA transition (and even then, I think it would be worth having one less passive point for some time later on until the next quest that gives respec points).

I played this build in 3.17 and it was amazing, looking forward to trying it out again. I probably pushed the build to its absolute limit that league, so looking to do that again. Hope we get some really interesting skills tree choices.

Just did a ssftestrun to 38 (first spot you could transition) its really not all that bad.
Any suggestions/link for a leveling lootfilter though? Using neversink1 you dont rly see bows/quivers all that well cause youre a witch or whatever its pretty annoying. At the same time using a bow filter is also not ideal cause you need other stuff for the first 3/4 acts

Use neversink, but regular version and it should be good

nvm im dumb i found flame surge.

Heya - Is there a reason the gem setup in PoB is different from what's posted here?

Chest in PoB has Lightning Spire Trap, Frenzy, Combustion, Lifetap, Culling Strike, Advanced Traps.

Chest here has Determination, Grace, Purity of Elements, Defiance Banner, Precision, Enlighten (4),
as well as any 4-link with Frenzy, Lifetap, Lightning Spire Trap, Combustion (where LST is in chest in PoB)

Other differences as well, like having Ice Golem yadda yadda.

Which is correct?

Thanks in advance to any advice

This setup on the page is the endgame setup. I think, it's not further modified. The pob from the video for 2.21 should be reference first until you reach endgame.
