3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.
|
Hi,
I'm trying the triple curse now (Flammability + Despair + Elemental Weakness) and it's looking good :) I'm using jewel "Impossible Escape" with "Chaos Inoculation" and that's why I have an active "Whispers of Doom" + "Influence". Without POB shows "Ignite DPS" 83M , with 90M. Link to POB : https://pastebin.com/awMvF60j |

is headhunter worth buying for mapping? any ideas?

Currently at ~22m ignite DPS hitting 20 fuses but really don't know how I can scale to 50+million like some users here. Any advice?
https://pastebin.com/eF52Z45m I've compared countless items through POB and nothing I do seems to have much of an impact at this point. I have ~60ex, so a decent chunk to spend, just no idea how to make the most of it. Thanks! |

" Pun intended? :) " From a quick glance at your POB, the first thing I noticed is that your attack rate is extremely low. Get this up. You want to try hit about 2.3 APS. Get an Explosive Arrow with 20% quality. It's beneficial to have the extra duration. Upgrade your bow. You need one with attack speed and crafted damage over time. Look at what the guide suggests or what others are posting. Your bow is critical. Get a quiver with attack speed implicit. These would probably be the first things I would aim for. |

" Very cool! I love the idea and it looks very strong. You have epic gear... it's really insane. I don't think you need the granite flask. I'd swap that for a Cinderswallow or Bottled Faith. You need to level up just once more and plug that 3% spell suppression gap, hehe. Other than that, it looks incredibly solid and one of the best I've seen!

" Headhunter WAS great for mapping in 3.17. With the changes to it this league I am not too sure (I haven't tried it). But maybe someone that has can provide some insight. |

" Thank you! But I couldn't have done it without your help. I was trying to improve the "bad" stats. "Total damage per ignite", unnecessary too much armor that doesn't help anyway etc. Once I started focusing on "Ignite DPS" everything improved drastically. What you kill faster doesn't kill you :) and the other people who contribute to your page help a lot too. Yes sometimes a good drop has helped and thus better gear can be bought. This is probably my best character so far. Thanks again for helping amateurs like me:) |

" Some simple things: 1) With your gear now you shouldn't need Ignite Proliferation. Either try get a white socket so you can swap, or simply change it to Awakened Elemental Damage With Attacks. Upgrading to Awakened Deadly Ailments and getting another level on your Awakened Burning damage helps. You could get a double DOT quiver. You could get a Watchers eye with Malev mods. Changing your flasks will also up DPS.. using Atziri's Promise, Cinderswallow, and perhaps Bottled Faith depending on your needs. These upgrades will give you >50% more damage as a start. |

Ok, I am not the best player, I need to follow builds to get anywhere in the game. I play pretty casually but I have been playing for a while. I can do tier 16 maps ok but bosses pretty much wreck me. Searing exarch fight is impossible. What can I do to improve the build? I don't have much currency. I'm in the process of trying to get a good amulet that is worth of an annoint, the one I have currently has a useless annoint. Basically, is there anything I am doing massively wrong and is there an easy fix to get a bit more survivability and some more boss dps? Thanks.

" Looks like you're just getting started going by your level 19 skill gems. Takes time, but obviously the more you you play the better your character will be. Get gems to 20/20 Get an EA gem level 21/20 Upgrade to a +3 bow Get spell suppression. Going by your gear I doubt you have 100% spell suppression and this is big for survivability. Basically, all your gear needs to be upgraded based on what is mentioned in th guide. Keep farming and upgrading piece by piece. Every upgrade makes a difference.
