[3.15] Elemental Hit Ballista Totem Hiero | Budget Friendly | League Start to Endgame

Hi, the build looks really interesting. Great detail. I'm a father so don't have much time to play. I only have time to play one build for each season. Last league, I played a BF/BB chieftain. It was good but boss fights were hard. So I was looking for a build that let me concentrate more on boss mechanics. Your build really looks nice for that. Trying to figure out which ascendancy to play. I'm not a player who can dodge all the boss abilities or super careful so most of the time I'm more comfortable with safe builds. I need advice on which ascendancy to choose.

Hi there,

Thank you for your interest in the build.

Base on what you have said, I would highly recommend going for the Hierophant Ascendancy.

Hierophant has everything laid down in the guide, ready to be used and referenced(Unless there are major changes/nerfs to the Ascendancy).

Other than this, in GGG's Ultimatum Content Reveal yesterday, I spotted a nerf which affects Non Hiero Classes so I would not recommend any Non Hiero Classes for now unless one is willing to sacrifice a bit to go around the nerf.

I will write more about the nerf in my "[3.14] Initial Thoughts/Comments" Section later.

Regards

Thank you very much. Now I will study your guide till launch :)
Hi there
I have a question.
We have Avatar of Fire (50% dmg convert to fire dmg) and Frostferno (socked gem support by cold to fire, 50% cold dmg convert to fire dmg).
Why we still need "Combat focus, Crimson Jewel" to avoid choose cold?
Does the above mechanism have converted 100% cold dmg to fire dmg?

This is my first contact with this build. Maybe this is a stupid question.
Looking forward to 3.14 with your guide. Thank you for your work and more power to you.

Hi there,

Although we have 100% Cold Damage Converted to Fire Damage which makes Elemental Hit's Cold does Zero Damage, Cold can still be chosen as a choice(Even if it's Zero Damage). That is why we have to use Combat Focus, Crimson Jewel to prevent Elemental Hit from choosing Cold.

Hope that explains.

Regarding the 3.14 Nerf to '-X mana cost for non-channeling skills':

I think the Nerf is part of the veiled mod rework, where the crafted version of a veiled mod will always be weaker than the version obtained by unveiling.
This means it's still possible to obtain the -9 mana cost rings by using the newly introduced 'veiled chaos orb' on a ring relatively easy.
Creating endgame rings with the -9 mana cost mod is gonna get more expensive though.

I have the same sentiment as you also on this.

There isn't any info out yet so I would assume(For now at least) that the '-X mana cost for non-channeling skills' is still locked behind Elreon's Veiled Rings/Amulets. It will definitely be nice if the various Syndicate Named Veil mods can also be obtained from "Veiled Chaos Orbs"

Additional Comments: Base on the reddit link below, which is a summary of the Q&A ZiggyD did with Chris Wilson, it would seem Syndicate Named Veil mods will not be available through "Veiled Chaos Orbs" and "Veiled Chaos Orbs" are also pretty rare.
