3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.
|
Am I understanding the situation correctly that the author of the guide achieves only 12/20 fuses with an attack speed of 2.55? 1 / 0.39 means 2x6 fuses before the 1 sec timer expires. Am i missing something?

Hi I have a small question. I dont understand when you need to stop 'stacking' aps and it's better to stack dot multi. on my char, after trying both bows, the left bow feels a lot weaker than the right one even though I have like 3.14 aps with this bow |

I’m not the expert in this area, but I believe the two are complementary.
One, you want to implant as many arrows/fuses as possible with a limit of 20 before the explosion point. The formula for this is: AttackRate # of Totems * Hitchance * increased duration = Fuses. Each fuse that explodes will cause a certain amount of damage. The damage is related to a number of things besides the inherent explosion including such things as gem selection and level, passive choices, equipment etc. If you choose 20 explosions but have limited ancillary damage you’ll get 20 that do little damage; on the other hand if you choose one explosion you might get more damage but still not enough. You have to choose the balance. Sometimes it’s a simple choice, e.g. using a level 21 explosive arrow or not using fire damage on attacks, which might use equipment giving more attack speed but negating EE. OP’s guide is excellent in trying to achieve both . Finally, the bow on the right has more attack speed, which is a factor in reaching 20 fuses. It also has high elemental damage. Higher attack speed won’t help if you’ve already reached 20 fuses. Plug them both in to POB and see. I suspect it’s the thicket bow, |

" Thank you for your response I dunno how pob reflects the actual damage of this build. I really tried to maximize the damage of this build. this is my current gear I don't have know where can I improve my gear but I think it's almost the best gear you can have except voices and +4 amulet. Unfortunately I still cant farm waves 25- 30 of simulacrum. sometimes I manage, most of the times I just die. I feel like i am going wrong somwhere, isn't the build supposed to have like millions of dps? but I feel like I barely sting Kosis in waves 25-30. |

You didn t min maxed enough. I farmed simu last league and this league very easy. The key is mageblood.

" This my my gear while running simu :
Spoiler
Always move Waves 25+ : - flasks + vaal auras at start, then vaal auras when a boss appears - i try to not waste time between waves so i can keep a maximum number of headhunter buffs (good lootfilter/inventory managment helps) Most of the time i end up with 6 stacks of rewards. I usually die once or twice (300 ms ping doesn't help :( ) Hope this helps, gl ! Last edited by Freredacier#2113 on Nov 26, 2022, 3:50:11 PM

is it still viable in 3.20?

" No changes. Life is good. |

" Thats great to hear. I tried this build during Sentinel and at no point did I feel that the higher level content was out of my reach. Very strong build. My only regret is that I didn't stick with it this league. Looking forward to 3.20 |
