Pharecia Explosive Arrow Ballista Totem Build suggestions

I recently got the level90 achieve using a Champion Explosive Arrow Ballista Totem build. So, I would like to use similar for the Pharecia event since I know i can hit 90 within the time available, especially since I will be SC.

I haven't seen a full list of the ascendancy changes (though I think they are mostly the same as the original Pharecia league with a few changes?) but what classes/ascendancies would be suggested for this type of Ballista build?

Polytheist looks decent. 3 free frenzy and endurance charges. Spells disabled but crazy life regen and 300 max life extra. Usually EA Ballista suffers from recovery.

Immune to burning, shocked ground plus life regen looks decent too.

That's 6 points, then you can probably go for another Bloodline for the last 2 points

Edit: Burning Hoofprints is an option too when you need arcanist brand curse instead of disabling spells. Burning Hoofprints is equivalent to Combustion, so you can use another gem for EA

Edit2: the accuracy node looks good too. Usually EA needs accuracy and nearby enemies have reduced crit, accuracy themselves.

Would ascend in that order:
Ralakesh
Garukhan
Solaris
Abberath

I tried to look at Templar build for Explosive Arrow Ballista but I didn't see anything in the Forums since like 3.18 or maxroll/moboanalytics. I forget how Pharecia ascendancies worked, but Polytheist would be tied to Templar only?

I think I love you :)
OH, but this is Marauder. I assume he wouldnt get the previous suggested Ascendancies. But i may go with this because i do need a build to follow for passives lol.

Thanks to both answers though, truly!
