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

Thanks for the advice on keeping the spires alive. I'll give it another try.

marixalijustice, every time I get tempted to DIY craft I always figure its best to buy. I always manage to do something wrong and spend a load of Divs correct it.
Current Build: Level 100 Elementalist EA Totem

- Bossing
- Mapping
Hello I need help with the build. First of all its great and I managed to beat uber sirius for first time and done feared easy. I generally have a bit problems with survival. My goal is to beat uber exarch and eater. I have enough dps but not enough to take em in first phase. I cant tank a single exarch ball. I'd like to kill em in first phase :) don't care about mapping cause I have another build for that


This is my pob : https://pobb.in/HiyPTLl9sglz

I would appreciate if someone can tell me what to change, what are my next upgrades etc. Best regards and thanks in advance!

I would be curious too tbh. Even at pob uber dot cap, using everything, i usually don't skip the ball phase (i don't remember doing so in uber mode). But, i can tank a ball and can survive the phase.
That said, against him i just accept losing a portal or 2.

So i'm not sure what to tell you... From my point of view I would recommend build more defensively, improve your ele max hit by a lot (you don't have bastion of elements right now D: ). Then into the fight, it's about keeping an eye on maven's hits on balls, moving right, throwing ballistas to tank, ..etc.
Also if you die from it don't go back into the fight instantly/when going inside check what's going on before moving.

I've seen some videos of EAb showing phase skip, and unless there's been something very wrong on my side for a long time (cause i've done him quite a lot), i can't help remaining skeptical about them.

Would love input from others on that skip. Still a mystery to me.

Edit : Eater is fine but you gotta learn to dodge the beam, imho.

How do you know if you're at dot cap? What do you look for in pob?
You look at "Ignite DPS" for Explosive Arrow with maximum sustainable fuses. At some point you will get a warning (under the stats) "DoT DPS exceeds in game limit". IF you want to check for Ubers, you have to set configuration to Ubers.

My biggest increase in survival has been switching to Defiance of Destiny. Tomorrow I will be trying to switch dopplegangers guise out for The Fouth Vow as I believe this will give even more survivability.

I am WAY overcapped on resistances right now, but I melt things, and also i can take -alot- of hits. I can stand still in most ultimatums.

I've been loving the defiance of destiny. Although my damage is too low to run fully juiced t16s efficiently I can kill all content.

When I boss I run my malevolence over purity to just melt them down. As well as switch from my headhunter (much lower dmg) to dydain belt.

Edit: had an idea. Would it be worth it to get a simplex amulet and get +2 all skill and +2 fire? Or would that be next to impossible to roll?

Im running Purity, Determination, Malevolence, Grace, Precision and Defiance banner. Charms for reservation and Devouring Diadem are amazing.
I'm using that helmet but need charm slots for taunt and ashes of stars as well as the 20%life every 4 sec as extra heal.

Also I'm assuming enlighten 4?

No enlighten. Its the charms i use

11% Reservation + Taunt
11% Reservation + 14 ele res (i need to get a better secondary for this one im way overcappped on res)

2% heal on kill and 39% onslaught effect

Also have a TWWT with banners have no reservation
