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

I'm all over the place on this build and Path of Building makes it seem like my DPS is way higher than in reality. If I do all the selections I'm SUPPOSE to have in configuration I show something like a 25 million Ignite DPS, but it feels like its way less than that, along with me being squishy. (Slowly trying to solve that.) Feel like i'm splattering in maps that I should be fine in with the proper map mods, for the build. But bosses feel like they go down slow in comparison.

Any input would be helpful.

That is wrong. It works for the leftmost x utility flasks. If your leftmost utility flasks are the 3 on the right, it's still the leftmost of them.

Source: Myself since I'm using that thing.

Survived another league.

Odd league. I only dropped in to have a look, and didn't really like the mechanic (running around in the dark without a map....right). But then:
a) I realized that the whole "charms" thing made this the power league to end all power leagues, so hard to miss;
b) A Mirror dropped, due to the mechanic.
c) Then another Mirror dropped quite randomly, so I had to stick around.

Hi.

You guys know if this build is viable for next league aswell ?

Nothing have changed. Build strong af. Mb doppleganger version will be a little/much expensive due to uber boss access changes.

Do we think this will be updated for 3.24 even though there hasn't been much of a change? I just want to make sure it's streamlined and updated for leveling, etc.

I've been looking at a few sources for Elementalist EA Ballista and they all seem to basically be the same 3.21 builds as there's been so few changes since this one was last updated. The only difference I saw in them for leveling/ideas was:

1. For leveling they use Rolling Magma instead of Frost Pulse/Purifying Flame/Wave of Conviction. Not sure which is actually faster.

2. Instead of using Hextouch + Flammability they use Arcanist Brand + Flammability + Flame Surge once we swap to EA Totem. The Flame Surge leaves a Burning ground effect that scales off our Ignite which seems to add a lot of damage?

Correct. Note that the burning ground only gets triggered when enemies that are already burning are hit. So its quite hard to test, and appears not to work if your test subjects die too quickly.
