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

I just follow Palsteron's guide, he made a 3.21 version over on youtube...got PoB, Leveling sections, different gear etc.



Using the 7L Bow now with awakened gems, but the 6L was easily good enough for everything in the game besides Uber bosses. Did Feared etc., with damage mods even

Not sure if 7L will let one take down uber bosses. The forging stuff is quite risky imho...

thinking about going for fan the flames on a cluster jewel for ignite spread and switching to something other than ignite prolif. Someone tried that yet, is it worth it?

So yea Explosive Arrow is better without quality right? Coz we have ignite from ascendacy so we need chance to ignite and quality just gives skill effect duration which is bad right?

Is there a reason why POB Ignite DPS hits a limit? The referenced POB has 35.7M and if I arbitrarily increase gem skills past lvl 21, the ignite dps does not go up.

My own POB, I've hit that number as well and I can only get 18 fuses. If I increase to 19 or 20, the ignite dps does not go up

Because...it hits a limit) Literally. DoT damage is capped at 35m.

The game caps out at MAXINT (2,147,483,647) damage per minute from DOTs, which is 35,791,394 DPS. It literally doesn't handle anything above that.

Hello everyone.

I've been trying this build for the league after seeing Brunowa as the author (had been enjoying necro with his build a few years back).

It's been real nice and clean so far, so thanks for the build, and thanks to everyone participating (even if i aint read all the pages)

Now, I don't usually post on forums, but I feel like I'm missing something when I see the pob and people getting capped at max ignite dps.

So i'm kinda here for help cause I feel like I've been going in different directions and I'm not sure where to aim right now.

If my pob is correctly set, i'm sitting around 14/15m dps atm.

On top of the things I want to do :
- craft myself an endgame bow (17+ as, with 2 crafted mods) which i believe give around 10% boost. Although I'm not sure whether or not to wait for a nice tree before that cause I feel like I'll have to craft 2 bows if i don't wait for that.
- maybe craft a quiver too, doesnt seem too hard, not sure i would get a lot from it.
- malevolence seem to give a nice increase (like 3M more ignite dps), but should i drop purity of elephants ( :> ) for that, considering the qol of not getting affected by ailments + i can get a big chaos res watcher's eye)

And of course there's the blizzard crown. I've never seen one myself so i guess i should just drop divines there, especially considering i'm not a lab fan.

I have some "crappy" gear, gloves/talisman/boots, but i'm not certain about them being a priority considering i'm elemental res overcapped at the moment.

I've been making changes to my tree since i could afford cluster jewels, but i've not been going too far as i would lose like 850hp from removing the life mastery/herbalism/oak nodes on the right and i'm not sure what dps could be achieved by allocating them elsewhere.

Is there an expert or two out there that could take a look at my character and show me directions ? (Ernydagur, my account is public/ or https://pobb.in/bLZhbJc_ms2E i think )

I'm a slow player and currency farmer, but I have about 15-20 div thanks to a lucky 3 sockets voices drop in simulacrum a few days ago.

My "league" objective would be to achieve 30m ignite dps (or get to the cap, even, would be great T_T )

Oh, also my gem setup (dont pay attention to the portal gem, it's temporary qol xD).
I see a lot of different gem setups on this build and even on the guide and I'm a bit confused. Is there an ideal gem setup ?

Any help would be appreciated. I've been spending a lot of times trying to try to understand ignite better but the more i read the more i get confused.

I can't complain at all about my character (done sirus maven, eater guy, fire guy...) but i feel like he could be real stronger and I don't know where i'm going, it drives me mad lol.

Please show me the way :')

Amulet with +1 to all skill and fire is around 6-8 divines. Also, gloves with a searing enchant (ignite spread) so you can use empower instead of "ignite proliferation" gem. Explosive arrow level 21 too =)

This alone will boost your damage by a lot.

Thanks for the directions, gonna make it a priority.

Regarding the level 21 explosive arrow, I made one earlier, a 21 0q.
Although, i switched back to my older 20 20 because it showed more dps in pob

To me it was due to my 'low' attack speed (please correct me if i'm wrong cause i need to understand this.

So should I go for a level 21 20q ea gem then ?

20%+ dot multi > +1 gem lv
amulet will also be cheaper ;)

with more skill duration you will get more fuses, more ignite dps, but explosion will be slower, so mapping will be more clunky.
Good for uber bosses ;p
