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

ok, got some nice updates, recoloring, etc so here is my current build
https://pobb.in/w_PYQIIetNgE

Got about 11 Divine now, so trying to see what to focus on
Hey guys, I'm having a great time with the build!

I've invested like 5-6 divines already and I'm feeling a bit lost, I feel like i'm not hitting that hard and maybe there's something obvious to fix.

Hope anyone can help :)

Also, what's the best thing this build can do in the endgame?

Thanks!

Your weapon is by far your weak point, its not 6L and only has like 4.5 relevant mods. Need to get DOT multi, as it scales out ignite damage the best. Going diadem will let you swap off life tap for empower setup which will give more damage also.

In terms of the strength of the build, you can scale it 1 shot all ubers with enough investment, but once you get the build going you can comfortably farm juiced T16 and ubers early on.

Try crafting a +2 amulet, or if you arent confident in your crafting, save up more and buy one, its a nice boost to all your auras also.

Where does the phasing come from with this build?

Quartz flask or on kill from bow mastery passive wheel near EE.

Edit: Also can get from charms or taken jewel if you opt for those instead.

12824 lethal pride (should cost around 5d usually) for 20% boost.

24q and then attack speed harvest enchant on that nice bow

I'm really not sure why you would use a headhunter belt. I can understand people who want to use mb, but a headhunter ? Get a nice dyadian belt and make it 42% with catalysts.
That's about 20% damage (millions, at this point) increase AND really faster ignites.
The resists it gives can also help you get some other better stuff, maybe a ring or something.

There's a socket with nothing inside on the pob, in case it's not just the pob, get something useful there. Later on i would say a useful watcher's eye.
A double is too expensive from what i see, but maybe something like
"15% increased Attack Speed while affected by Precision" at least should only cost about 1d and give a free million dps (esp. considering you're at best at 18 fuses right now).

I think you have a point allocated at the start of the tree that you forget to remove (or it's a misclick on pob). This could be the extra 5% to exposure from fire mastery instead.

21/20q explosive arrow, didn't check the price though. Level and qual gems as you know. Why is there a combustion on the bow ? Is that replacing the ignite prolif and you didnt recolor the bow to 4r2g ?
So yeah considering the gems on your bow, there's improvement over time there, with burning damage gem, and later replacing those that can be to awakened versions (and also empower 4).
Combustion goes elsewhere (probably on the frenzy setup, where you seem to have an item rarity support (???)

Some general improvements with gear (like that bramble wound jewel.

I really didn't go in depth. If you can, considering you're using devouring diadem, import character from account ANENA to compare. I'm sure you can find great things there.

OMG i just realised, you're not spell suppression capped. Pick magebane node, replace your gloves for some other with evasion on it and modify your evasion mastery to +15 suppression. And for the last 5%, either from tree or explicits/implcits i suppose. (unless you have a better idea, cause right now you are far from 100)

I think the messed up part is more the survivability. 3 things immediately pop into my eyes :

- Spell suppression isn't capped, it really has to be, big issue.
- Chaos res is highly negative (generally speaking you want at least at 0, then the more the better). You're currently at -52 without pot active. It is probably quite hard with all that unique gear.
- Your hp pool is <3k, that is very very low. Again, many uniques in your build...

For example : I'll admit your boots allow for another curse, but with rare boots you could get suppression, chaos res, hp, and the 15 suppression mastery from tree

Regarding output :
Quality your gems. Try to find or make a 21/20q EA gem. Even a 21/0 is better than your 20/20 right now.

Belt could and should be at 42%, this costs nothing to do (catalysts)

Considering all your gear, you should have a better bow by now -> https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3229979/page/290#p24975728

Lethal pride 12824.

For later, amulet : +2 and dot multi amulet will be a lot better, but it is quite expensive to craft/buy.

(didn't go through the whole build, just a few things i've noted)

Got some of the improvements and got spell suppression up to 84% now. Id have to replace helm to get the +15 supression. Already snagged a watcher's eye, and been farming tonight to get some of the missing pieces and improvements. I figure i can mix up my charms and get the remaining spell suppression there. i still need 1 more gem, gonna snag something tomorrow for my other missing slot

Also Vaal'd my EA gem and hit 21/20 so i'm happy with that. What should the ideal socketing be for it with ignite on my gloves?

Ah yes, ofc, diadem doesnt have evasion. My bad, i'm used to repeating this and not used to diadem. Gotta find some other ways to fix the spell suppression then.
Nice first try on the vaaling.

Bow links : 4r2g
EA
Ballista Totem
Awakened Deadly Ailments
Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks
Awakened Burning Damage
(in your case) Empower 4

Allocate watchtowers on your amulet btw, even if farsight is great, you'd always rather have +1 totem.

There's a world where you get farsight and entrench for damage and +12 spell suppression, with a jewel (impossible escape jewel, you can take a look at my char, it's socketed). Considering the open socket i see, that's 2 points, but the jewel may be expensive.

And i'm still advocating against that headhunter of yours :'(
