[3.15] Elemental Hit Ballista Totem Hiero | Budget Friendly | League Start to Endgame

The tree has 4 jewel slots. 3 are occupied (2 Combat Focus, 1 Rain of Splinters). 1 socket is whatever. So you can put a jewel with the implict there.

Hi,
I'm following your build and now reached Level 94 in game.
Today i check my damage and realize it's too low, it is around 520K DPS but you nearly 1M, i checked my gears are good, i dont know where the problems are. Can you take a look and show me what am i wrong to fix,
Here my POB: https://pastebin.com/8jMbJhR4
Thank you!

Managed to craft an insane helmet for 35 ex. This is more damage than a +4 frostferno.

Here are the steps I went through

Step 1. Buy base (4 ex)
Step 2. Buy conq ex (1 ex)
Step 3. Reroll influence til shaper (cost me 1 ex)
Step 4. Buy essence of horror (3:1 ex) i spent 8 ex
Step 5. Roll till hypothermia and max 2 suffixes
Step 6. Suffix cannot be changed - scour (2 ex)
Step 7. Multimod (2 ex)
Step 8. Suffix cannot be changed (2 ex)
Step 9. Veiled chaos - unveil
Fail -> go to step 8. (4 ex)
Step 10. Annul off shit prefit (2 ex in failure)
Fail -> go to step 9
Total failure - 2 prefix mod + veiled mod
Remove crafted mods - go back to step 6 (2 ex)
Step 11. Give up on veiled chaos and go to aisling bench. (3 ex) (Do not have any crafted mod)
Get lucky and hit prefix veil
If you hit veiled suffix have to remove crafted mod and go back to step 11.
Step 12. Finally hit +2 gems
Step 13. Multi mod (2 ex)
Step 14. Craft +1 gem of each type your veil didnt hit (In total there are AoE, Melee, Proj) (2 divine)
Done.

Your gloves could be better. The best temple mod is damage to chilled enemies.
A marylene's Fallacy will give you 11% more dps if you count for the culling.
Quiver with attackspeed/crit chance/crit multi is more dps

Can go for chin sol over quill rain, I would highly recommend swapping.
Also take point blank keystone.

Those last 2 things alone will boost your dps by a looot

Hi thank for your response Beverice,
I changed somethings below:
+The helm with +2 fire skill gem corrupted and 5% life (Elemental hit 27 level now).
+ The Marylene's Fallacy Amulet with highest crit multi.
+ Anointment with Whispers of doom (to add more 1 curse, i want to finish the boss maps faster).
+ Change somethings on passive trees (with many damage point but life increase before)
- i can find the glove with chilled effect.
Result: The damage increase to nearly 860K DPS but i think it is still low.
Here my update POB: https://pastebin.com/EGjRxzPZ

You have 1.3m dps per totem if you switch quill rain for a chin sol and place totems in front of boss. That will be huge dmg upgrade

My couple of cents :

You do not need 4 pierce :)
You can change the craft on your gloves to dmg during flask effect. Not a lot but still better.

Next thing - find someone with craft Crit chance on Flasks and recraft your Diamond flask. It will boost your damage.

If you have the money - buy Bottled faith. This boosts boss dmg to the roof.

With the changes above and your gear i think you shoudl easily reach 2.5 mio normal DPS.

Again - if you have the money Awakened Hextouch is a lot better choice than whispers of doom. Shamans dominion gives too much DPS increase to pass this one.

Then you can look for either corrupted quill rain or Warlor bow with Additional Arrow. Helps a lot.

Hi,

i love this build and planing to do 36/40 with it. I usually just play one char each league.

Can someone take a look at my gear and tell me what should i upgrade next? Got 200c at the moment.

Thank you very much!

@walez

Pick up the one Divine Fervour on the passive tree, you missed it.

I would buy boots with 30% movement speed and spell doge or attack dodge. They are dirt cheap. I would craft projetile damage gloves and craft +1projectile/pierce. I would get rid of the quiver. You have a lot of gear pieces where you can get elemental damage with attacks (2 rings, belt, quiver). Even the crafted elemental damage with attacks is fine if you have a prefix open on each.
A ilvl 85 shaper spike point arrow quiver is a good quiver crafting base imo. Anything from +1 arrow to elemental damage with attacks, crit multi etc is good. Getting Aisling 3 in research on Katarina can be insane too. She can give you up to 2 veiled mods per item which can be good.

---------------------

Having a blast playing the build this league.

Started a Slam Quake Bleed Zerker going to 3.14 playing that to 85. It is a good build, just too many buttons to press. Holy shit. Scrapped it.

Started a trap Raider thereafter. Did not even made it to maps. Scrapped her at 41.

Always wanted to give this build a try anyway and have played some hieros before. I really like that class.

I went directly for the first 3 jewel slots available. I think I was around level 31 when I was done with the first lab around that time. Put the two combat focus jewels and rain of splinters in. Used a Tabula and switched to Ele Hit totems asap.

Been blasting ever since. Love the playstyle.

Crafted some stuff today too. Here is my current setup at 91.
My quiver has 2 veiled mods from T4 Aisling :)

Map wise I started red maps just now. Doing 3 watchstone region atm. Damage and defense seems top notch for now.



Bought the boots, chest and the helm. Rest is self found/crafted.

Thanks a bunch Vei for the build! :)

My first double corrupt helm try poofed sadly :).
