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.

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:

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

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:

One more thing: change phase run to immortal call, it's better overall and makes keeping frenzy charges much easier.

Got 89 lvl now small update and usefull info:



this flask is life saviour for frost type of breaches, it works very well, you will loose aggro because of phasing, be able to move through mob packs, and not be frozen, highly recommended


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.
