[3.13] SIEGE BALLISTA HIEROPHANT Build > Iron Commander & 15 Ballistas! CHEAP LEAGUE STARTER!

So, it's me again with noob questions o/
In your guide, in the "item" part, you said "Place Lioneye's Fall under the Staff wheel next to Resolute Technique.", but i don't see a Lioneye in the PoB, should i use it anayway ?
Second question, since a lvl 5 awakened curse on it is too much expensive for me, what curse should i use in my bow ? I tried to sim in Pob, Projectile weakness seems better (but maybe not on bosses).
I've some fun with build, i'm lvl 86 atm, running t15/t16, but i get oneshot some times (probably because i run in the middle of the monsters, dropping ballistas, instead stay behind them.
Thx again for this build !

proj weakness, yes.

Do you think this one is a suitable replacement for helmet? Im still missing the maraketh jewel btw this might change things.

and another question: can the ballistas really shotgun? i dont get the impression they can. and then another jewel might be better than the multiple projectile ones

Hi a question,anyone know if chest crusader "Enemy you kill explode deal 3% of tgei life as physical damage" proc on ballistas?
Thanks

hmm.. since YOU don't kill, no.

I wanted to play iron commander in harvest league, but didnt want to play hierophant since I already have a level 100 one. I wanted to play a ranger, so I picked raider since she is a ball of stats. Early on I got annoyed by how slow totem builds feel when clearing, since you have to place the ballista, wait for it to wake up, then have it attack. This was worse for me than for a hierophant since I dont have ritual of awakening. So I started using a weapon swap to a clear speed bow to clear with ice shot+mirage archer+awakened chain. This meant that i could use barrage support with siege ballista, which is op with dying sun+rain of splinters. ice shot was in the clearing bow, ballista in my chest and curse on hit set up in my iron commander. With Knockback bosses would get pinned to a wall and not be able to move from ~100 projectiles per second.


Basically, single target damage is about the same as hierophant(if a hierophant could use barrage support lol), but clear speed is better. Hierophant would have slighty better defense from divine guidance and conviction of power. Regardless I can do uber elder and sirus 8 deathless easily. 10.9 million shaper dps with flasks and 13 totems, 95% evade, 60-75 and 50-65 dodge/spell dodge with 5.3k life. +280% movespeed.



I use the Stygian vise for bossing. point blank is only on the single target quiver. Brutal restrint has 2 5%dex, 1 +20 dex, and blind. I could get a nice rare amulet, maybe a emperors mastery but that would cost too much at this point since im already 100 and wanna play something else.

Is it necessary that the number on the legion jewel be exactly the same?

i played this build at start of the league and, personally, i really liked it, but, i started having problems with t14+ maps because of low life pool...

but now, i`m thinking a lot about this build idea with the new replica bow, that was showcased in the heist league trailer. it uses shrapnel ballistas instead of siege and STR instead of DEX. and i think it might be just as powerful, with iron grip passive and stacking strength, plus more survivability because of flat life from str.

what are your thoughts on this?

Shrapnel is shit with no range
