[2.6] Chieftain dual Siege Ballista. All map mods. 8k life. Beginner and budget tips.
" it's like 40% dps loss | |
"This bow might only give some clearspeed on trash mobs (arguably), but will drop your damage indeed. |
|
I did just switch to bow and balista from Ancestral Warchief (lvl 53) like u said and it feels shitty(slow and low dps)
Whats the problem? |
|
" I switched from flame totem to siege ballista around 60. Felt slow and weak at the start but i sticked to it and got better and better over time. Currently 84 and took it up to Tier 8 with ease so far. Apart from some nasty breaches that sometimes overrun me i rush maps pretty quickly. I like it alot. Current gear gives about 30k buffed dps: |

7748 hp and 40841 dps per totem on my 91 lvl standard char.
http://imgur.com/a/tcLdZ At 93 lvl should be easy over 8000 hp. I will test it later. Idea about that was after some mixed feeling about Cospri's will robe. I think most important stuff to get high dps are flasks. They are insanely powerful, and gives extreme burst dmg. So guys get yours ASAP, those 2 are super cheap and very good, if you got 4 ascendacy chieftain points you need only single life flask: And later Taste of Hate. gear on this standard char: Last edited by Elua#0230 on Dec 14, 2016, 8:07:51 PM

"I would suggest not taking Ancestrial Bond asap - just move all the way and stop right before it - meanwhile use Split Shot (+ single ballista). Switching to pure ballista makes sense for me, if you got all four (rolls do not matter): - Infractem/ Death's Harp (Opus)/ Lioneye's Glare (depending on your level) - Rain of Splinters gem - at least a 4L item (5L evasion armor worth ~ 1 alchemy already) - either Skirmish or Drillneck quiver _____ like 2 chaos of investment Last edited by kaelsy#6807 on Dec 14, 2016, 8:22:10 PM

"What is your mana regen? I always need to use the mana flask to be able to spread the curse. Mobs turn my frenzy charges into phasing from time to time => I have to spam Frenzy again to keep them up. |

Mana shouldn't be a problem if you got some int in jewellery / helm and enlighten gem ( lvl 2 or 3 )
I have 27,8 mana regnen / sec on this standar char and it's enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some example how powerfull are 3 dps flasks + vaal haste: http://imgur.com/a/JnoI8 93480 !!! just from: Last edited by Elua#0230 on Dec 14, 2016, 8:45:50 PM

" One more thing: change phase run to immortal call, it's better overall and makes keeping frenzy charges much easier. | |
" thanks, i will try that flask. In Essence league i was using stibnite flask. It is really nice for loosing aggro and you have 4-5 uses before it runs out of charges, so i was spamming it alot. |
