That carries over indeed.
That is why we use the other 6L with Frenzy and the cast on crit setup. Every time your frenzy attack hits a mob it generates a frenzy charge. In mapping you can keep the charges up by just shooting frenzy now and then although it is not really needed. On bosses it helps DPS on them with the frenzy charges and Sniper's mark.

I see, what about increasing my own elemental damage, would that carry over as well. I just got to yellow maps with this build, I have to say, pretty fun so far

Has anyone got any idea on how to craft these?

Get the base, spam fundamental fossils until T1 dex + % dex + desired 3rd suffix (alternatively, essence spam until % dex), lock suffixes, veiled chaos.

Yes that would carry over as well. :)

Increases to ele damage, attack speed, proj speed, etc all carry over to your ballista.

Hi guys
I like to try something new this league :)
I really like totem playstyle and wonder how well do you think this build could go this league (3.19) in HC ?
Does it worth a try ?
thx

Can we still follow the original guide and poe for this in 3.19? Besides a couple of the item changes?

Yeah, the only things that really changed for this build are a very slight (and ultimately not meaningful to us) nerf to EA, and the change from Hyrri's Demise quiver (removed) to The Poised Prism quiver.

I am playing off-stream this league and played FP up until 95 just to blast my Atlas, and swapped over to SB to see how it is. Both builds seem about the same as I left them in Archnemesis.

Hi,

I am following this guide and I have a weird problem and I hope you can help me.

When I switch to Barrage por single target (switching with hypthermia) I do less damage!!! How it is possible? I can't understand. I have check every thing. I have 3 million of damage and 16 ballista... What I am doing wrong?

Here you are my POB: https://pastebin.com/rcMyiM9U

Thank for the help.

And when I have used barrage against Baran for example my damage heatlh the boss! I don't understand nothing.

Btw. Barrage....did they change something? Last league it shot 3 additional Projectiles sequentially. Now its 4 projectiles but it spreads like hell. Should it not suppose to be shot 3 arrows behind (rapid fire) and not spreading like Hypothermia?

Like:
Barrage with Rain of Splinters last League
-> -> -> -> ->

But Barrage now shooting/spreading like Hypothermia
/
- ->
\

Barrage is useless now? Bug or stupid mistake on my build?

For me there is no difference between barrage and hypothermia anymore?!
