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

I have a question about my weapon , I crafted a similar weapon that was explained in like 10 pages before , but for the passive tree I have avatar of the hunt , 32 fire multi and lifetap , for the first node should I go with 50% global damage and 2-% increased cost of skills or +1 dex gem or 1+ bow gems ?

Now that I have reached elemental ailment immunity via Ancestral Visions what would you consider the optimal major pantheon?

I just can't decide between Solaris and Lunaris.

Hey, i'm trying to go uber but something is lacking and i dont see what i'm doing wrong....

Can someone help me for what to upgrade ?

Thanks !

Hello. I would say that you need to push for more damage. You currently deal something like 5.5M (if i set parameters correctly), so there's room for improvement.

- work on a better crucible tree an another bow. Something like mine is +33% dps.
Like i said many times, getting the lifetap crucible node also allows you to remove it from your sockets, and replace with empower for even more damage.
This can take time but it's truly worth it.

- There is added fire damage to attacks on your quiver ! You can't have added fire damage, it breaks elemental equilibrium (so your damage is actually lower than i thought in the first place). Gotta change that asap !
There are tutorials for dot quivers on the internet if you are into crafting.

- You are not spell suppression capped (95%). You gotta make it 100, it's important.

- If you wanna keep your body armor, you gotta use malevolence, otherwise hyrri will give more damage, spell suppr, evasion, hit chance
I take that back, just noticed malevolence was active, but hyrri seems to be better than your armor still (ecept on the chaos res department of course)

- Your hit chance is low. Try to get some accuracy somewhere. If you look at my gloves, they give you 28% more dps by themselves, due to 14% more hit chance. You could also use precision aura to help a bit with it (not max level but the highest you can use with your other auras.

- In the auras departement, do you feel like you need determination ? With enough evasion + taunt on totems, i really dont think it's very useful.

- I see you still use ice golem, try to get a bit more attack speed somewhere else, cause i suppose your ice golem just keeps dying all the time and is therefore useless when you actually need it.

- Apply catalysts to your belt, you want 42% instead of 35 there. That explicit is the whole reason why we use it.

- When you are flowing in currency, you can get a +2 amulet but keep it for later, it costs a lot and there are a lot of things that can be improved for less.
(you can also craft yours, there are guides on the internet too, but even buying a dot multi fracture ammy costs a lot)

- I'm not sure about the flammability on hit ring as it doesnt go near the damage we get from true flammability. Experiment with pob as you would have to rethink your gems/sockets setup.

- exposure on gloves doesnt work, you already have elemental equilibrium. Well it currently works cause you have added fire damage on the quiver and therefore your EE DOESNT work but once added fire damage is gone, exposure on gloves is useless.
Get proliferation implicit instead

- You didnt take the totem mastery that grants TAUNT to your totems. Take it !
If you wanna eco points, you might consider reworking it a little bit, i'm especially not sure about
- the 2 points on Ironwood. Depends if you wanna keep this armor or not.
- the 3 points on quick recovery.

There are other things that i haven't mentionned, and certainly other things that i haven't seen, but here are already some tips for you.


Edit : i think you don't currently reach 20 fuses.

Edit : get polaric devastation ring and equip it on left slot to cover enemies in ashes.

what an amazing response! Im not even the bloke that needed it but was refreshing seeing someone go out of there way to actually be helpful, good on ya

Yeah, i needed exactly that answer, this is so nice of you, i've saved a lot of currency and didnt knew where to spend it... Well, looks like i'm going on a shopping spree !

thx Headtourist !

I have not managed to find a good (and recent) one. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Quiver : i think i kinda followed that guide : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8MoV4v8y58

Amulet : i didnt make mine, only multimod it, i was lucky finding fract dot multi and +2 for only a few div... I think i found the steps in reddit but it's kinda locked right now. I'm certain you can find it quite easily on youtube.
The problem with the amulet is that you'll have to spend thousands of alts just to get the +1 to all so it's really annoying making it...
Maybe you can search for rf +2 amulet guides too, as i think they also want dot multi and +2 fire, to find the steps for these.

Ok, i was curious and found an example.

So the guy bought a fractured dot multi amulet. He then alt/reg till +1 hit.
Then metacraft and blocked +x to fire damage and harvest add fire mod.
At that point he had the dot multi and +2. Can just remove crafted and multimod like me if you want to.

Edit : i just checked, an ok base amulet with fract 24+ dot multi already costs 7+d on its own D:

(also, maybe make your characters public on poe website so we can look at your char without the need for you to share a pob link, btw)

Hey guys, first season/first char here. I'm doing pretty good, can do most content that I've tried, but continue to get 1-shot pretty frequently. Any pointers for how I can improve my tankiness a bit? Thanks in advance.

Hello.

POB is your juggernaut btw.

Glanced at your elementalist.

Fire res : 65%
Lightning res : 67%

Start with capping these two (and try to get some more chaos res too i suppose)

This + the fact you have no evasion must mean frequent deaths indeed, as the game is balanced around having 75%+ elem res.

(i'm really not sure about the allocated iron reflexes node, you can't evade anything)
