3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.
Every Barrage/Shot from a Ballista can only apply a max ONE Fuse to (each) Enemy it hits per Shot/Barrage.
If its firing 10 Arrows each time, it will still apply only one Fuse to the Boss per Barrage. I agree it's not really documented well and kinda confusing. It would be totally OP otherwise, we would have no need for AttackSpeed at all and just take +3-5 Extra Arrows and always be Fuse-Capped. You can confirm that yourself: Say you have 20 Fuses. Get "+9 addtional Arrows" (GMP/LMP/Gear) and find a buffy Rare. You now have about 200 Arrows pounding the Boss per Second. -> You'll still only see one Explosion every second. If the Fuses from additional Arrows would stack, the Explosion would go off 5-10Times per seconds. (Everytime you reach max Fuses, the Explosion triggers) But: Additional Arrows is still verrry nice for mapclear. The Multiple Explosions and Arrows on multiple different Targets gives you a way higher overall DPS/Clearspeed. It just doesn't do anything for SingleTarget, that's all.

The arrow is the fuse, if you hit with the arrow then it adds to the fuse count. I think they're talking about shotgunning skills on single target like with GMP or LMP, but I don't think EA works that way (most skills don't). It wouldn't be OP anyway because ignite damage is still limited by the amount of fire DoT multi you can stack, ignite duration, etc.

" Go try it out, it's very easy to confirm that it doesn't work. With 200+Arrows per seconds at least some should shotgun/multiple hit the boss. But no matter how many Additonal Arrow you'll take. You'll always only get one Explosion every 1,15 Second. Now Equip the "Barrage Support", that actually allows your EA to shotgun/apply mutliple fuses per "additional Arrow" (Thats the main job of Barrage Support)-> Now you'll see an extreme Number of Fuses, resulting in ~10 Explosions per second. That confirms that "additional Arrows" can only apply ONE Fuse per Enemy. PS: It's still super good for clear! Последняя редакция: Schejian#7203. Время: 23 дек. 2023 г., 17:17:15

Yeah, sorry about that. I realized what they were talking about was "shotgunning" skills, which was reworked a really long time ago. Even if shotgunning worked with EA fuses, it still wouldn't really help this build with totems because you'd spend all your time worrying about placement.

" Thank you so much!! Was hoping u had time to take a look :) Fixed some Problems already (Level 4 Empower, Harvest Att Speed on Bow.. just missing Hillock in Transportation and finding a better glove enchant) Merry X-Mas everyone!!! |

" Actually I didn't even realize when I took a look, but swap out awakened swift affliction for awakened deadly ailments, you'll get much more ignite dps that way. EAb crafts info : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/25179328

New PoE player and followed this guide.. just realized that the early build is actually intended for a respec which I can't do right now as I don't have enough refund points (Don't have orb of regrets and only have 1 chaos orb which I hear is equivalent to 1 orb of regret). Should I just start anew with the build for later acts? Or is there another guide I can make use of with the early build tree? Thanks!

" If you're following the given PoB, you will get enough passive refund points from quests (20 total) to respec the build. You should only need to refund about 10 nodes by the time you reach maps. |
|
" Oh that sounds great, I think I'll continue with my current build then. Thanks! |
|
" Thank u i did this! BUT my Poe.Ninja DPS goes to the bottom from 40k to 7k :( In Maps i honestly doesnt feel a difference between both gems. I know there are some Dps Warriors that use the glove enchant for pushing higher numbers... just want to understand why it gives so much less DPS then Swift Affliction?! BUT otherwise it sets my fuses to the 22 Limit?! Also Mr. brunowa mentioned in his first post to just swap in Deadly Ailments for the hardest bosses? |
