[3.10] OneShotKill Elemental Hit Ballista Hiero - 9.6 million DPS - EZ Boss Killer + budget friendly

I feel like I am starting to get a better mechanical feel to this build but also feel like I am still a little lacking. All of my resists are high and over the cap. I used a couple nodes in the passive tree to try and free up what I could not get from gems/other gear. I will change them out as that gets filled in. Still, the first season playing PoE, I feel this build is newbie friendly.

If anyone can give me some pointers on what gear I should work on next from the most important to the least, I would appreciate it. Currently, I am working on getting Frostferno, Chin Sol, Kaom's Heart, Yoke and tombfist with the appropriate corruptions and double abyssal socket. Which one of those would get me the most? Sitting on 5ex and some change. I am thinking of upgrading the opals next since I can get two with 100%+ elemental damage each for about 2-4ex. I have not attempted Uber Elder yet and I am not sure I can. I also show what my current elemental hit damage is.

Also @lunasicc187 I thought you were going to make your characters public so we could take a glance at your passive tree.

Either way, thanks all for the support and cheers to this build. It has been a good introduction into PoE.

On your bow the haste gem need to be a vaal haste. I had the same issue and didnt realize it. It will not proc if it isnt vaal.

Another thing I had an issue with was only the one curse. I choose to have enfeeble for survivability, but I like your idea for the summon lighting golem. The other option is to invest 6 points to get Whispers of Doom instead of trying to get the additional curse on the yoke.

I have a question. For this build is better kill Alira or help her?

It is better to kill all the bandits for the extra 2 points in the tree.

How are you able to get 5 totems?

1 base
1 from skirmish
1 from hiero
1 from ancestral bond

makes 4... cant seem to find the 5th one

am i blind

help!?

Have you experienced to have "Shaman's Dominion" and "Shamanistic Fury" at the cost of other passives ?

Pulling one question from past. Is this good cheap alternative to Yoke or Xoph or does these increase dmg much more by their mechanics? Up to 70% fire seems quite a bit to me. It provides less ress than Yoke, but 30% fire is better than nothing and 50hp is nice to have.

There is no pure damage replacement for Yoke, it lets you shock them with your ele damage. For me that's ~360k more damage (granted this assumes you get max shock all the time, which you probably won't). A perfect 70% Tiki isn't going to come even close to touching that with only ~30k more damage. Even Xoph's is only ~130k increase

how do you people get so high dps?!?!?!...
i struggle to get over 43k :/ (trying to get a 21/20 ele hit).. tips is much appreciated :)

I need a loot filter. What filter do you recommend?

Finish linking all your gear as in the build guide would be the cheapest way to start. You have the gear, next thing is going to be maximizing your current gear with crafting or replacing. Your Kaom's has low damage and could be increased + the proper corruption. Same with your bow, it could use the +1 arrow fired. Your Frostferno needs the corruption for +2 to projectiles or fire gems. Keep in mind, your opal rings can have over 100% elemental weapon damage. Some of your gems do not have 20% quality.

This is where you take a look at the guide all over again and mid/max everything to the points it explains. I did not take a look at your passive tree but that might also play a role in DPS. Are you taking more defensive nodes? I personally took the +18% to fire/cold/lightning to compensate until I could get better optimized gear.

Welcome to the end-game. Where the little changes matter and tend to cost the most.

Cheers
