[2.6] Chieftain dual Siege Ballista. All map mods. 8k life. Beginner and budget tips.

It is easier to say that it is not feasible for atziris to say that if waste time and make the other players in your challege .. say you killed 1 time .. does not say anything .. but thanks for answering me ... it is clear that it is just a silly guide to fun.

This is guide aimed for people who like play using totems. It's NOT most OP meta build of this league, but it works nice and it's very comfortable to play. For me it's enough, but if you want better builds sure there are many.

BTW living in "Mexico" must be sad ...

lol.. Live in montreal .. my native language is French .. Peigne-cul :)

Two questions:
1. Do you think it would be worth to go up the passive tree and take Shamanistic Fury?
2. Have you tried the build with a Templar and any of its ascendancy classes?

1. Shamanistic Fury is too far away from tree to be good choice.
2. I tried one old elemental style Siege Ballista templar build, and don't like it. Ranger Deadeye offers much better perks and dps gain in comparison. It's like 41k -> 49k dps difference only from ascendancy. Extra arrow is awesome, extra dmg at max range is great too.
Projectiles speed, very yummy stuff too.

Leveling is fast, you can have easily 70 lvl in 2 days so I recommend go ranger for this build.
Now leveling items and quality gems are super cheap also. That rly helps a lot.

Is this build hardcore viable?

This build offers 251% increased maximum Life ( using 5x 7% life jewels ) so I think it's good for HC too. I know 2 ppl on HC at 80 lvl + now playing this build.

I suggest use Lightning Coil chest or Kintsugi for HC.
Rare top evasion helmet ~95 life + ( ~1000 eva ) is also nice HC option.

83lvl here and still alive :)
5.2k life, 20k dps (without frenzy) on 5L

so far I will do all maps mods, don't try only no regen and blood magic, I do few times twinned temple map with dmg mods with almost no risk, Terrace and Volcano boss without problems atm I skip (even don't try) only Malformation Boss but I hate her :)
I put alchem on map and go!
I still have a lot to improve: need 6L, more HP, more res and more phys dmg on gear, my Jewels are not to good also and I have only normal lab already done.
I'm casual gamer, I play only 1-2h/day (little more at weekend) so far only solo.

My Current Gear:



/EDIT/

Few min ago I buy

DPS on 5L
rare helmet - 19610,7
40% inc Rat's Nest - 22577,6
15% AS Rat's Nest - 22159,4

What about Skirmish? It look like very nice quiver. For leveling at least

Only for leveling 19 -> 36 lvl because Drillneck is insanely good.
Drillneck got "Projectile Damage increased by Arrow Pierce Chance" and Siege Ballista has 100% pierce chance.

In numbers on my prophecy char:

47343 Drillneck
37541 Skirmish

Having 3 totems is funny, but not very usefull. One totem is enough to clear screen.
