3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.

My full on glass cannon build, ~200m Ignite DPS, uber exarch blew up in lesser than 10 seconds. Although I based it off FyreGrass's EA calculator, I am not too sure if I need to include shocked in configuration. His calculator also does not cap the damage gain from hitting past my cap of 24 fuse.

Hi,In the past I really didn't like ballista builds, but this one is a blast.

Pun intended? :)

I feel I'm not sure what to upgrade next, any tips are welcome thanks!

From a quick glance at your POB, the first thing I noticed is that your attack rate is extremely low. Get this up. You want to try hit about 2.3 APS.

Get an Explosive Arrow with 20% quality. It's beneficial to have the extra duration.

Upgrade your bow. You need one with attack speed and crafted damage over time. Look at what the guide suggests or what others are posting. Your bow is critical.

Get a quiver with attack speed implicit.

These would probably be the first things I would aim for.

Thanks for the tips! I kind of already did upgrade most of them after studying this thread a little more. Feel a little silly about my posting my last post you replied to.

I think I should look for upgrading the bow now tho, since otherwise I find it hard get APS higher from 2.13 I'm sitting in (flask in calculation) now.

Pun unintended. :P

hehe Fyregrass's calculator is just wacked. No need to go into that detail. All you need is what POB tells you. Just keep things simple.

Pretty awesome though! This is the first time I have ever seen someone make Divergent EA work.. even though it comes at a massive cost of defence :D Well done! Would love to see an Uber Maven kill or something just to see the DPS.

I am not the best at mechanics but the DPS certainly helped. Although for normal mapping and non-pinnacle bosses, I can just swap in Grace, Determination, Purity of Elements and Dread Banner. Survivability is fine due to the 10% chance to create smoke cloud on kill from the Smoking Remains cluster jewel.

Hi, first of all thank you for the guide!

It's been a blast so far but now it feels like I've hit an extremely high wall...

I can clear most things but dying pretty often and occasionally run out of portals here and there. So far I've spent around 15-20ex but it still feels like I'm way off the numbers with that investment than I should be.

Currently at 12 fuses and 2.5m ignite dps and I'm unsure of how to get those numbers up.

Any suggestions on what I should upgrade and/or work towards upgrading?

A few things:

Your attack speed is very low. Get more attack speed. Gloves and jewels are a place to start.
Upgrade bow to one with DOT multi on it too. For cheap, you could try annul a shitty mod and simply craft it, but more risky.
Make sure you are using pantheons to plug any defence gaps.
Get a Cinderswallow with 3% life recovered on kill.
Unnatural Instinct will free up skill points for other use.
Using Malevolence instead of Purity of Elements is a big DPS boost.
Could get a double DOT quiver.
Could get better Eldritch implicits.
Could enchant your helm, belt.
You don't need onslaught flask because your jewel gives it.
You have a few jewel slot opportunities.

Lots you can do :)

Just take it piece by piece. This build scales very well and every skill point and every upgrade and stat makes a big difference. The further you get into end-game the bigger the scaling.

I dont know how much fuses i have) but everyone dies very quickly with max atlas enchants)

If somebody can help calculate my fuses for me i will be very happy

You're at 18 fuses.

3.15 APS x 6 totems x 100% accuracy x 0.95 duration.

You're running a much harder version of the build by using Divergent EA. It's totally not worth it IMO unless you want to go glass cannon above like GodIsAGirl did above.

Simply swapping to a regular EA gem will give you 15% more damage.

If you want to stick with Divergent, you need more skill duration. See GodIsAGirl's POB for the best version of it I've seen.
