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

I could use some tips on improving damage wise... survivability lacks a little but overall playable.

https://pobb.in/C5p_9BCnNgG2 the bow isnt great but does the job for now, current budget is 7div and yes my tree is slightly different due to not having proper clusters,unnatural instinct.

Hey, can someone take a look at my pob and advice me on what should I aim to upgrade now?

I am farming black star for the Polaric Devastation ring but I feel that I am not doing that much dmg on bosses.


Haven't looked at POB, but a quick look at gear I would say:

1) Get more attack speed. Bow has low attack speed.
2) Get a level 21/20 EA gem. Get 20% quality on gem for 20% more duration helping to get more fuses and bigger DPS. Low duration and low attack speed = low DPS.
3) You could get a quiver with double DOT.
4) Get one of the helmets listed above for more attack speed (Devotos), or more base DPS (Blizzard), or to run a DPS blessing (Devouring Diadiem).
5) Allocate Watchtowers on amulet for another totem and more DPS.
6) Get an Atziri's Promise flask.

I haven't looked at tree but the above will get you started.


Could you give me a quick explanation on how to get this quiver with double DOT?
Brunowa could you take a look at my character and make a suggestion what I should improve next? My goal is to do uberuberelder while brainafk... atm I can do it w about 75% consistency. Honestly totems surviving longer would probably be the biggest thing for that fight, but idk if thats even possible.
Wanted to say really enjoying this build.

I have modified it slightly from the tree side, just because.

Pinnacle bosses melt in seconds (excluding their damn phases)
Survivability all round really good to.
I'd be 98-99 by now but I have been farming challenges when I hit 95 so yeah...


I have a question on where to go next for my gear.
Most of it could be upgraded, just want to know where best to target

I assume I should really be replacing my ring (two stone) with a polaric.
Hi !
What passive do you want with the Lethal Pride ?

Also, is the 3.19 POB up to date ? the skill aren't exactely the same than in the guide (especially the 4L setup & the aura setup).
Fantastic build! I've been able to take this farther than any other build I've played, going all the way back to Harbinger league.

I'm at that point now where upgrades are starting to cost 10+ divines each, though, and I'm wondering what's the most important item to chase next.

Here is my PoB: https://pastebin.com/qpSV4Z0D

I'm thinking of three different paths, each of which seem like they'll cost about 10-15 divines:

1) Get an Unnatural Instinct/Large Cluster Jewel
2) Get a Blizzard Crown
3) Get a Level 4 Enlighten to add Malevolence aura

Any thoughts on which path would be the clear winner in terms of DPS per divine spent? Or are they all sort of equal?

Thanks again for a great build!
Unnatural was super worth to get (frees up passive points if you've allocated them there, or gives you a huge amount of stats)

I'd try use bubblegum currency to make the large cluster that's needed

Palsteron's is just for levelling. When levelling you won't even have quality on EA gem.

Don't listen to a word Palsteron says beyond levelling this build... because he has literally only played the build for 2 days in 3.17 and another 2 days in 3.18 so he has no idea what EA is like beyond level 90.

Don't take Anger. Anger will mean you don't get Elemental Equilibrium which is a huge DPS loss.

For duration, it ultimately comes down to what content you are doing. If you are simply farming T16 maps then having no increased duration is totally fine as you ultimately want to just kill packs as fast as possible and move on... and DPS doesn't matter so much as everything will die quickly anyway.

But if you want to start doing Pinnacle Bosses, then duration makes a massive difference, allowing you to stack more fuses and hit much higher DPS numbers.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Yea he says this about duration at 34:17 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wryibKVQ-6g.

Now that you say I think he recommended Wrath (not Anger, my bad) instead Malevolence, to avoid increased skill effect duration. Thanks for the clarifications.

You're looking pretty solid.

You could compare a double DOT quiver and see how that compares in your POB?


Cinderswallow is really nice too for life leech and regen:


You can also try Bottled Faith for more DPS and Atziri's Promise is really good for more DPS and life leech too.

You could try roll a good Lethal Pride and use the stats from your Impossible Escape in that area.

Then move on to Mageblood. Mageblood is very very nice for Uber Bossing. Just really smooth and good QOL.
Hi, thank for the build. I need advice about this build for beginner.

I'm sorry about the weird question or may be sound offensive but I really don't mean too. When will the build start to feel right on the track?

Many build start to feel it around Act 3-5. But this one I feel not right yet event through I play some totem build before, guess due to how EA work?

I try with lack of gear during early start, 4l Silverbranch during leveling. It pretty slow and boss take long to kill. At Act 6 common mob is good now, boss still take long time.
On par with 3l CA for Rare/Boss - that why I feel like I play really wrong here or not in the right track. I drop a totem, curse some if need, try not to drop totem too close so they can focus on one target. That's all I can do right now.
Slow in, slow out cuz I'm just a player.
