As for leveling/questing, EA ballista feels so slow n clunky.

I just run wave of conviction. You can literally run through every act, twice as fast. Maybe run conviction paired with EA for quest bosses?

At least that's how I feel, I'm rather new though and could be totally wrong, lolol. Wave of conviction just feels so smooth for progressing and with Phys to Fire support and a few others (bad with names still, sorry) you can still benefit from the fire damage along the tree.

I'm only act 5 though, so only 1 act to really get used to the newer playstyle. That could be part of it also!

Hope you don't take my feedback as negative, can't wait to get to maps and start trying out the real build. Have most the gear bought and ready to rock in my inventory.

I didn't really like it either. I think Wallach switched from WoC to EA because it plays similarly to siege so the transition into siege is easier. I would say leveling with either one is fine. Just switch to siege as soon as you can.

Yeah, I also forget, I think his guide is more orientated around a new league start, where youre limited on resources/links..etc, then I can see it being more reliable.

WoC, otherwise, is just too powerful for leveling if you can get it right away.

How much do I spend to maximize this build satisfactorily? Worth the investment ?

You can spend about two or three mirrors and there will still be some room for improvement. With that level of investment you look into 300-400 mill Sirus DPS and decent defences (ailment immunity, chaos res cap, tons of armour).

Hello maybe someone can check my character. I try today the Eater of World and i must say that i feel like my damage was completly 0. And he still one shot me :/

I find the boss the hardest out of all of them, at least it feels like it with siege ballista. My general advice to you is to level up, you need more dex and the skill points will let you get it.

1.6k dex should be enough to kill it but i dont know why i feel like im not doing any dmg. And to be honest i will maybe get like 50-70 dex from tree its not that much

you can easily get 400 or even 600 more dex with a decently rolled brutal restraint and enough skill points to path your tree optimally for your split personalities. Another advice to you is to check siege ballista builds on pob.ninja and see what kind of various tech the players are using and try to apply it to your character.

What is your frenzy crit chance? If it is low, you might want to consider using different setup, such as hextouch of arcanist brand.

Here are a few things you can do to improve your character, in relative order of how much they will cost.

1.) Finish your last lab trial and pick up divine guidance.

2.) Lose the extra totem from mastery and change it to the increase global crit mastery.

3.) Check your spell suppression, if its maxed you can re-allocate trhe two points near magebane (reflexes notable).

4.) Increase crit enchant on bow and Dex enchant on body armor (both from harvest)

5.) Maybe pick up a dying sun flask. They are pretty cheap and incraese DPS vs bosses quite a bit.

6.) I agree with a previous post regarding the brutal restraint. You can get a basic one for cheap and throw divines at it until you get the amount of DEX you are looking for.

7.). Swapping over to a Threads of hope setup will help to increase your DPS. It should go in the socket above herbalism. A large ring threads of hope with -10/-11 to res is about an EX at the moment. See my tree for the nodes to pick up after you've gotten you hands on one. Doing this will free up all the points you're using to path to Master Fletcher.

8.) Get boots with 120% increased Critical Strike Chance if you haven't Crit Recently enchant. A pair of Garukhan's Flight boots with this on it go for about an EX.

9.) Again, if your spell suppression can handle it, swap over to a wildwrap. This is a big dps boost over Hyrri's Ire.

10.) High %Dex implicit rings are pretty expensive (10-11 EX) but if you can afford it pick one up and throw some Def essence of sorrows at it if it doesn't already have a good DEX roll explicit.

11.) When you hit lvl 95 you should have enouph points to allocate one last jewel socket to get a watchers eye.

12.) getting a corrupted hyyri's demise with Point blank implicit will free up one additional passive point.

This should keep you busy for a while. :)

Yep, that'll do it. Also be sure you are swapping to barrage support from hypothermia.
