What do you think of using the perfect form new armour?



Well for me, it's a very good choice of armor in this build since it will give you free phase acrobatics and of course free arctic armour which greatly helps against physical damage and other fire damages.
I always want to pick phase acrobatics in the tree but 4 nodes away from acrobatics is wasting since life is more reliable, so this is a very good choice of armor.
It's your choice, if you can sustain your -cold resist and dex requirement it's ok.


I think Perfect Form is best in slot for this build. Don't forget it gives % increased Dexterity (up to 10%) which can quickly surpass a high dexterity armour.
Looks fun, gonna try this.
I think I'm going to try this build in 2.6. Have you thought about Elementalist? I came up with a tree for it, dumped the stats to excel, and compared them. Let me know what you think of the elementalist's potential. On paper it appears to have more damage potential.

What do people think about the Champion Siege Ballista build in 2.6? Drillneck was nerfed by 50%, are there positives or new uniques that would make this build stronger? Think it would be a good league starter?

you doing fork build? no cos Ballista cant fork, then Drillneck is still BiS.
how good is this build for starters? ballista always been solid T2 build and fairly cheap.
Followed your build up until the evasion thingy. I'll go for iron reflexes and take the crit/life in the middle just because i like incomming damage to be more reliable. Might use Arctic armor as well.
Will be updating this thread for 3.0.

Nice, please remind me to add it to the Buildlist again (or update it there).
