[2.5] Pathfinder Voltaxic Dual Siege Ballista

Hey dude, I just wanted to say that I've been developing a similar build but for PvP on standard and that I really appreciate the work you've put into this guide and keeping it updated, so thanks!

I would choose Deadeye or Raider or Pathfinder. I still haven't decided as I need more information on the usefulness of the new utility flasks. Scion was just released so you can go that route as well.

Champion isn't a bad choice, but outside of fortify you get little out of it.

hi nice build, i think its one of the better ones for SB.
I have a question, in your opinion would be worth it to go scion ascendancy, take deadeye and ranger start, or deadeye and some other ascendancy class like chieftain?

I'm not sure, it doesn't look like any other of the Scion's ascendancy classes are useful for this particular build outside of the ranger classes.

I think Ranger is the best start for this build. You could probably go pathfinder if you have Voltaxic once you hit 64. The new utility flasks look quite nice and the poison you get from master herbalist allows you to insert another skill gem like faster attacks or added chaos damage in place of poison gem.

I hope Voltaxic doesn't get the nerf hammer.

lets hope it doesn't get the consuming dark treatment

Updated for 2.2.

Got more damage, a link became free after you get master herbalist, and you can swap in pierce instead of slower projectiles.

Added a 2.2 video at the bottom of the first post.

Do you have a new passive tree you could share? The old one doesn't work in 2.2

The second tree would be better suited for high levels and if you have good jewels. Otherwise, use the first one with two static electricity jewels socketed between ranger and shadow and ranger and duelist.

Static Electricity/Charisma

or

8 Jewel Tree

Really nice ! Good mobility (as a Champion i have 50% base movespeed + blink arrow + quicksilver), multiple mechanics (not only right click totem you know what i mean).

I'm playing on Perandus SC and switched to your setup when i got my Voltaxic, was doing a dual siege ballista phys + poison (snakebite gloves for poison) until then.
Was playing with a Lioneye's Glare, cheaper option than Voltaxic to start, the tree was very similar tho.
Hatred instead of Wrath to get a boost of damage scaling with phys.
I started from the Duelist, took Champion because it is a solid choice if you're a bit lazy with flasks like me lol :p

I'm cursing with a 5L Split Arrow - Chain - LGoH - CoH - Projectile Weakness for now, it adds some nice dps.
And got lucky 6 linking my evasion chest for my siege ballista setup.

Anyway, solid build.

EDIT: Did some trading (rings/amu), finally got 7 jewels.. I'm sitting at 42k dps per ballista with 4 frenzy charges only !
16k armor and 30k+ with granite up. 4k5 life but i still need to take few life nodes next levels so i'll be at 5-6k+ soon.
You can check my profile with my char to see what are my gears/passives.
