[3.9] Champion impale shrapnel ballista [WiP]

Ok so I think this is what I'll go with as a finished tree

I like the idea of using arborix as well as someone mentioned earlier, seems like a good bow for the build?

I've been thinking of how to make the tree better but I can't really see any better pathing without sacrificing life

Maybe tho heavy draw and deadly draw could be removed. Anyway it's lvl 92 which I think is a realistic goal to start with as lvling is pretty slow in the 90s.

As mentioned before with impale supp + dread banner it's 100% impale. Also totems can taunt etc so this build will not need any additional accuracy beyond the tree.

Edit: Might remove totemic zeal cluster as well if totem placement is good enough.

Edit 2: Early on you could go diamond skin if you need resistances

How exactly does the Champion taunt branch work with totems?

Says it works. You should be able to test in game too right now if you want to. The can't evade is just global so anyone attacking a taunted enemy wouldn't miss any attacks which makes it a good node for party play as well.

I suppose you could also go the fortify path if you already have enough accuracy.

You can take resolute technique if you dont invest in crit alot. Then you dont have to take that ascendancy so you can take permanent fortify and I personally am taking the adrenaline for free intimidation.

How Much DPS we will get ? pob show so low lol

The version I made with siege ballista and RoA reached 4 million shaper DPS, without flasks and 3 jewel slots left, however this was based on the boss having 70 impale debuffs. But POB can't calculate impales so I had to do the calculations myself, so I could be off.

Even calculating without ANY impale debuffs it still deals about 800k damage this way.

You will notice the rain of splinters with an insane amount of physical damage added, that is to mimic the 70 impale buffs, so it's less than 4m, you can only reach that if you have the watcher's eye jewel with +2 to max impale hits.

With this POB it will deal about 300k per totem, plus RoA plus bleed plus the 22% impale you get from the average hit x7 impale hits is like 2m DPS.

Not saying my calculations aren't wrong though :P

Can you generate a link for the passive tree to export for poeplanner pls?
