@ Elua
In 2.6 you'll play this Build again? I'm sure that i will :-) I tried to play different Builds, but i like nothing else more, i love the killspeed and the movement. |

In 2.6 I will play Ancestral Warchief build, something based on Facebreaker gloves, The Bringer of Rain helmet and Great Old One's Shield. Shield charge for movement and extra safety.

I will try get legacy Facebreaker, legacy Bringer of rain and legacy Kaoms chest ( I always wanted have legacy Kaoms lol ) but not sure how much time I will have to play this league. Ancestral warchif scales like 3x better then siege ballista, and GGG don't gives fuck about totem ballace at all. I want play some RAT totem build, but this ones are so fucking terrible and mana intense. So next league no bow totems for me at all. Last edited by Elua#0230 on Feb 24, 2017, 3:46:32 PM

Enough of this league, spent hell of a time. All challanges done, mostly by myself, of course EXCEPT Shaper and Chayula. I went some alteration of this build with my preferences. I've tried Drillneck and Skirmish both with added arrow. And surprisingly both quivers are roughly equally good. Most of time using Skirmish, it's mana bonus fully negates the manacost of 3 ballistas and gives nice manaregen where Drillneck is struggle to frequently recast ballistas on difficult bosses. Clear speed with 3 ballistas even more hilarious (esp. on open maps). However many bosses is pain in the ass. Then ballistas instantly get 1-shot on bosses like Mino and Hydra, Drillneck is slightly better if u have enough manaregen to recast.
Spoiler
About gems: instead of Faster projectiles I use Slower (lol) they just gives far more damage. To compensate slowish bullets I get incr projectile speed on one jewel. Anyway ballistas tend to place in close quarters. For curses I use GMP with chain support - spreads curse waaay better then sole GMP. On hard bosses replaced with Enhance. Items: Kaom's Heart abandoned, did not want to refuse sockets and bother with resists so I left my Queen of the Forest till the end. Nightmare Bascinet for the head and I did not even try to replace because enchant is quite rare. For boots Atziri's boots fit quite nice.
Spoiler
As alternative there is Brinerot Whalers Trapper Boots providing impressive damage boost.
Skilltree: removed acrobatics (30% chance to not get one shotted? are you kidding) get some mana+flask bonus (Primal Spirit) and one more jewel socket located under the main life deposit.

Hey!
I've played a tripple-warchief totem build last league, but I'd like to try a ballista build this turn around.. or so I think. Can any of you show me an updated marauder build I can pick, that's not to money-heavy? Main reason I don't want to go warchief totem at start is due to the high price of Ezomyte :( The ballista build seems fun, maybe I could play around with poison, skirmish-quiver to get 3 totems or the reverse-knockback gloves as well? Thank you! Last edited by yourselfius#5114 on Mar 4, 2017, 5:49:38 AM

" After 2.6 patch notes and CI buffs ( WTF !!! ) I don't recommend play ANY life build in legacy league. Best 2.6 choice is spelltotem flameblast on templer inqisitor, CI based. Build guide is here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1730745 I have now 55 lvl and I can say even SSF style leveing is fantastic and super easy Last edited by Elua#0230 on Mar 4, 2017, 8:28:53 AM
