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

Thanks for tip mate, i use your guide with slight adjustments due to good jewels not being available in HC at all, was about to try Reach of the Council(200c+ on hc), guess it really is not worth ^_^

I'm now trying this on PHC.

Gear:


Lvl 74 - around 4.6K HP, 15K DPS in hideout (auras on), 19K with 4 frenzies. 6 Ascendancy points gained atm.
On tree I have deviated maybe 1-2 points only atm.
Biggest deviation is that I took cruel Oak which I think is better.

Gear is semi-trash now, but suffice.

Later will switch to Reach of council bow as this is probably BIS for this build. It enables to remove rain of splinters for another 7% HP and at least 50% inc dmg DPS boost!

At what HP are you safely farming Uber lab?

5k hp + Kintsugi + res cap = very safe uber lab

Don't but Reach of the Council, Lioneye's Glare is much better for Siege Ballista.

Hmm, how did you find out that reach is not that good?

DPS wise it's reach which wins it - since you can remove rain of splinters. And Reach can go up to 360 DPS. You take that 2 points on tree - even if you had to remove master fletcher and that node below. Put the jewel instead of rain of splinters and are golden.

20% reduced projectile speed is nothing - you are gaining this easily from tree anyway.
And the fact that siege balistas are triggered only to distance 80.

Reach is slightly DPS lost, not gain as you think. Overall clearing speed Reach of the Council is HUGE LOST for Siege Ballista, because he only bring wider spread and many bad things and problems.

Lioneye's Glare top rolls are 360 too, and his "Hits can't be Evaded" means it's equivalent of 480+ dps rare bow.

Even if you spec out splinters and +1 arrow on quiver?
Hits can't be evaded need to be taken out of consideration. Resolute technique MUST be taken from tree with Reach of council. It's only 2 points as I said before.


And why are you not taking rupture? Isn't at least 25% chance to cause bleeding and bleeding on move doesn't cause additional dmg works?

Doesn't matter I have died in Uber lab - didn't manage to click yes on portal out dialog. :-(

Hey im struggling a bit to get more hp, i only got 5.4k at 91 and i dont really think i can swap anything in a tree and get more gear upgrades :( Im trying Reach of the council atm and i must say it owns even wtihout Resolute technique(i have 89% accuracy which is ok with 4 attacks per second from 2 ballistas). I really wanna try uber lab, but im afraid of getting 1 shot with low hp

Also im thinking about getting Rupture ascendancy node after uber lab, does bleed work with ballistas?
