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

This build made it super easy to reach rank 2000 for the league mechanic. Awesome!

Just curious, what are some of the tattoos that you all are using for this build?

Can't seem to see tattoos on the builds in POE Ninja.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I liquidated my gear, or most of it, to convert to Phantasmal Cremation.

No regrets, well, actuall many regrets technically...

...but no feeling of regret.

Came to say thanks for the good debates and advice!

does resolute technique work with totems? I got it with the new tattoo that replaces a keystone so if it works then I can drop all accuracy...

Since totems inherit your stats, it definitely should work.
Just opened PoB to check, it does work.

Edit : But, PoB also shows me i would lose A LOT of dps using it. You would lose the benefit of elemental overload keystone.

Hey guys, so my PoB tells me that I'm at 20 fuses even with 5 totems. Should I trust it?

Hey.
Looks legit to me. You can see the calculations for this in PoB.
You have something like 1.45 duration, almost 100% hit and almost 3 (2.88 or something) attack speed when under your 3 stacks of frenzy, so yeah, makes sense.

Hi guys, can someone, please, give me a quick tip on where to move forward with my character? I capped my res and ss and still feel a bit squishy. Boss fights become very reliant on life flasks.

First thing that comes to mind is dropping precision aura lvl and trying to slot in defiance banner, but that will require quite a bit of res eff and getting accuracy back from somewere..

I think next on the chopping block is amulet and quiver but after that i have 0 idea.

tldr. I dont feel tanky enough (well elementalist expected) and i dont feel like a damage machine, especially when its a multiple boss encounter and they all start running around, ballistas missing, bosses slapping them into oblivion, you dodging sh*t while barely having time to drop your miriad of totems to try and do at least some dps. I feel like maybe im doing something wrong but i dont get the hype that surrounds this build. Wanted to play it for a few leagues and feels bad man

That's great! It means that I can keep using Charisma and have purity of elements.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Hey.
Regarding tankiness, i'm not sure you'll ever feel "tanky enough" as an elementalist. I can farm ubers, but i'll still die to them or sometimes while mapping (i rarely die to pinnacle bosses though). Haven't played a lot/enough since 3.22 came out, but the loss of totem taunt may also have affected survivability, especially considering your damage is pretty "low" right now : dead things usually don't kill you.
If you're really all in for tankiness, take a look at Zizaran's ea champion. "0 damage" but hc char, he went for it again this league.

About defiance banner : you could get an enlighten gem, even level 3 will do, to add it to your aura setup. Will require some socket recoloring on your chest.

When you say boss fights, what kinds of bosses are you talking about ? Uber Pinnacle your damage is clearly too low, but others shouldn't be "too hard" (now it would be a lot easier to do pinnacle bosses if you enhanced your dps.

Take a look at this build in PoB : https://pobb.in/XpeTFzzBkSvG it's a 3.22 league char, someone else on this thread. It should give you directions for tree (remove that right side of the tree, for starters), items, skills. It is dot capped against pinnacle bosses, and deals something like 10-12M on uber pinnacle.

Bit lazy with analyzing your whole build, if you take a look at the 5-10 last pages on this thread you'll see what i recommended to about everyone here.

You can even take a look at my own char, but some things aren't comparable because it is from crucible league.
