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

POB: https://pastebin.com/KU3itLEw

Hi all, I am very new to the game, I started playing last week. I have gotten to T6-T7 maps, but definitely get 1 shot frequently. I'm level 76. Trying to watch as many guides online as I can, I think my issue is I don't have enough health. I have tried getting as much +life items as I can without compromising important parts of my gear (+ballista unique, +AS unique, ignite DOT). I do have all (except chaos) resistances at 75%. Also why is my damage so low? The poster above has a whopping 2.4m ignite DPS (which was apparently low lol), while my ignite DPS is 18k!

I've been following all the build trees pretty closely, I just feel like I am way behind with both life and DPS. I am extremely new to the game and the game is VERY overwhelming, so I am sure I am missing something very obvious. Just trying to learn as much as I can. Would really appreciate some help, thank you!

I sent you a PM but off the top of my head, your accuracy is too low, some of your gear really isn't giving you anything. Also while you're mapping are you summoning a new totem about every second? With the mastery they taunt enemies for 1 second. So summoning them often helps you live longer. Leveling safely is probably your best bet atm because you need skill points so don't try to push too fast.

Yea this game can certainly overwhelm in the beginning, but take your time getting the hang of it. Here are a few things that need your attention.

This build requires attack speed and damage over time multipliers to scale damage into endgame. You can get these stats on weapons, armor , accessories and jewels.


1. Get at least a +2 to socketed bow gems, six linked short bow. +3 is ideal, but given you are very new to the game and currency farming is a lot harder in this league early on, +2 will suffice.

Try and follow the stats on the OPs item list for the rare bows.

2. Get Attack speed stat on gloves, quiver, bow. I suggest using a Broadhead arrow base for the quiver for the extra attack speed. Any amount of speed will work for now, you will upgrade to better stats later.

3. Find rings/amulet with increased elemental damage with attack skills mod. It will boost your damage . Add the same mod on your quiver if you can.

4. Get faster boots. Aim for +30 to movement speed.

5. Save up currency and purchase Hyrri's Ire Zodiac Leather chest armor. It will add a good deal of damage and defense.


Try and get the bow and quiver first. These 2 will add a good chunk of damage.



Thank you so so much, I will get going on all these things!

Anyone mind taking a look at my PoB and giving me some insight on where to head next or what to upgrade? I'm working on getting that enlightened leveled up before switching the chest over to a 6l hyrri's.
https://pastebin.com/mGsVHNkg any chance you check out whats wrong here? Im a noob

I know my clusters are shit and also im missing life roll on 1-2 items.

Also why do we run purity of elements if im resi capped already?

I can clear t16 maps with ease but get oneshot quiet occasionaly(at least once per map), also i struggle with higher tier content like sirus for example, only got 3k HP aswell.

Also your doing gods work, answering all those questions day by day, maybe drop a donation link or dm me your paypal so i can send a few bucks(or divines).

1. Good job with the weapons. Bow and quiver are done! You really don't need anything else in those slots.

2. Amulet, decent stats, but you are missing a lot of damage there. Get a t1 dot multi, +1 to gems/fire, and ele damage with attacks.

3.Rings are good.

4.Chest is ok, Hyrri will boost both damage and defense.

5.You need better jewels overall. Drop rain and add another damage jewel. Dot fire multi/attackspeed/health/damage with ailments faster.

6.Gloves need updating. Aim for higher attack speed, accuracy and life.

7. Hit rate is low. You need to run either a higher level precision or roll accuracy on ring/helm/gloves. Ammy can also do it but it will be really expensive given what it requires.

Finally, if you get a decent amulet, you will want to respec your passive tree. You would drop everything after the Intuition node, and anoint Watchtowers.

That will give you 8 points, plus another 4 if you get the Unnatural Instinct jewel. You can then add 2 cluster jewels.

A few points:

Purity of elements is for the ailment immunity. Cant be frozen ignited, etc.

1. Bow /quiver , very nice. Quiver can have another t1 attack speed roll on it. Prioritize dot multi/attack speed/ele damage.

2. All other gears except rings and amulet are very good.

Ring needs ele damage with attacks, flammability on hit, accuracy.

Dump the amulet. You cannot have added fire damage to attacks on any piece of gear. Cold/light/chaos is fine.

Look for +1fire/all, t1 dot multi elemental damage with attacks and health for the amulet stats.

Clusters you know about, and for endgame they need to be on point. May take a bit but it's worth getting the right jewels.

Unfortunately, everyone is getting one shot even with these nutty builds. Archnemesis tilted damage stacking mobs so hard, you really cant defend everything.

I will say that movement speed helps, especially if you have granite/quartz/evasion up.

Best advice I can offer however is to play the fights (sirus /maven/etc) and learn the patterns. The more you do it the easier they become. I'm no pro, but that's how I got my first kills a few leagues back. Took a bit of time and practice in my case.
