" Tried it. Worked 'OK' up to about 44, when I did my Death's Opus prophecy and switched out both Skirmish and Iron Commander for Opus and Drillneck. The overall DPS went up considerably so the 'two hard hitting totems versus four anemic ones' is rock solid truth. Unfortunately, GGG took a good idea - a Strong totem build - and once again gimped its potential back down to 2 which is an effective damage limiter. I'll play this build up as far as I can before it becomes mind numbingly boring (which is always around level 82-86 where the map grind becomes flat out pointless). Patch Notes 3.15: Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. Last edited by BlaqWolf#1151 on Jul 3, 2016, 12:59:06 AM

" Rat's nest it's great IF you are 90+ lvl and got strong gear. Before this I recommend put it in stash and use rare helmet with life and resist. It's hard to advise what gear you should buy, easiest way is simply go into my profile and check "Hibikiprophecy" gear. https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Elua/characters You need res cap FIRST. Then you need all items 70+ life EACH. You need 7% life jewels + some dmg. You need Kintsugi robe. When you got OK boots and gloves you need uber lab enchants. Then you need buy Rat's nest WITH 40% Siege Ballista enchant on it, and this is almost last part of gearing process. Last edited by Elua#0230 on Jul 4, 2016, 10:08:17 AM

Is there way to increase ballista reaction time?
I mean the moment when it placed, to moment when it start shooting. Its soo long! I played ballista little bit at the beginning of the league, very enjoyed it, but stopped because of this. I wanted a more aggressive gameplay. This is especially felt when playing in a party. Maybe i missed something and it can be boosted? (I felt totem placement speed / attack speed does not affect on it) If it can't be boosted, if it has fixed reaction time, didnt you think its unfairly slow? Maybe we should put pressure on the GGG because of this? :) Last edited by zxfx#7114 on Jul 5, 2016, 7:39:11 AM

" I'm not sure you played my Siege Ballista build, your privacy setting don't allow me to see your characters. But I think you don't. I never got that delay feeling in party, during 6 man daily Zana rotations, other masters or Gorge map rotas. Siege Ballista reaction time depends mostly on your total attack speed and projectiles speed. In my build that is almost highest priority, so that combined with high build mobility I feel very aggressive and easy able to lead party attack. Such things are not possible in Flame totem build or crit / poison Ballista versions. If you can plz make fully buffed hideout Siege Ballista screenshot and set privacy setting off, so I can identify possible gear / build problems. Last edited by Elua#0230 on Jul 5, 2016, 9:12:12 AM

How does spell echo work with ballistas? will the ballistas shoot twise as fast?
Thx for a exellent guide btw :) |
|
" LOL spell echo is for caster ( blue ) gems, and don't work at all with Siege Ballista. You can use spell echo as lightning golem suport only in this build. It's helps, but it is very minor thing, not necessary. | |
|
Why I asked about spell echo is that I took a shrine that gave me spellecho or something similar and the ballistas shoot as if under the influence of spell echo.
Must have bin something else I guess :D |
