1. Sanctified Relic is no longer available in 3.21, we will get the Ghost Dance keystone from passive tree instead. 2. Non-Damaging Ailment effect is removed from "Elemental Mastery" in 3.21
Скрытый текст
Removed the entire Elemental passive cluster. Because of this non-damaging ailment effect removal, "Fury of Nature" forbidden jewels has become more important in 3.21 for ubers content. 3. Spell Suppress chance apply to Critical Strike chance is removed from "Spell Suppression Mastery" in 3.21
Скрытый текст
Replaced the Spell Suppression mastery with "+1 Power Charge" notable, combined with the power charge buff in 3.21, we only lose 30% increased critical chance.
As the build become more rely on power charge to gain critical chance, "Blind Support" on Frenzy setup will be replaced by "Increase Critical Strike Support" to allow more reliable power charge generation. 4. 10% maximum life is removed from "Life Mastery" in 3.21. The mastery will be replaced with additional life nodes on passive skill tree.  Build of the Week Season 11 Episode 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFLgzCS4p9A Introduction It has been while since last time I played a totem build and I think this is my first ever bow attack totem build. I make this build because I wanted to play with the new helmet "Wilma's Requital", surprisingly this build does crazy damage, has good mobility and decent defense. What's better is the budget is not too high either considering it can do all uber bosses rather easily. Overall this build feels really good, definitely recommend to try out this build if you are ok with totem playstyle. Build Thought
Скрытый текст
This build is built around "Wilma's Requital" unique helmet. Wilma's Requital
Скрытый текст
The idea is to abuse the mod "Increase to cast speed also apply to attack speed. By using buff that increase both attack speed and cast speed, the helmet essentially double the buff effect for attack. The buffs that increase both attack speed and cast speed I used this this build: i) Haste Aura
Скрытый текст
I further buff the Haste aura effect by using Since sublime vision disable all other aura, I take "Supreme Ego" keystone to buff Haste aura even more. Ultimately the haste aura is providing 110% attack speed ((24% + 24%) x (1 + 23% + 38%) x 1.42) ii) Frenzy Charge
Скрытый текст
Players gain more Damage and increased Attack and Cast Speed for each Frenzy Charge they have 4% increased Attack Speed per Frenzy Charge 4% increased Cast Speed per Frenzy Charge 4% more Damage per Frenzy Charge iii) Onslaught
Скрытый текст
Sleepless Sentries 20% increased Totem Duration You have Onslaught if you've Summoned a Totem Recently Onslaught Grants 20% increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed. Why Deadeye instead of Raider?
Скрытый текст
We already got so many attack speed from Haste aura, attack speed bonus from Raider ascendancy will provide much less value to dps. Deadeye ascendancy on the other hand provide so much "more" multiplier to damage (extra projectiles, far shot, tailwind and mark effect).
Why Elemental Bow instead of Physical Bow?
Скрытый текст
Physical Bow needs Hatred Aura to be good, and since we can only have Haste aura in this build, Elementa Bow would be a better option.
Why Artillery Ballista?
Скрытый текст
"Wilma's Requital" has a keystone "Ancestral Bond" on it, which means I cannot deal damage myself, and need to use totem/ballista to deal damage instead. Since we got double attack speed effect, attack totem/ballista would be the way to go. It actually can be any Ballista or Bow skill with Ballista support, I find Artillery Ballista the best after testing a few other skill. Feel free to try out other skills, and find the one that is best for you. Why Abhorrent Interrogation and Secret of Suffering?
Скрытый текст
Given that we scale so much into attack speed, with the number of projectiles/ballista, we are shooting over 100 of arrows per second, and can easily each maximum stack of withered in second, these gloves are basically 60% more damage to the build. With Abhorrent Interrogation, this build is not able to penetrate elemental resistance, so lowering enemies' elemental resistance become important to scale the build damage, and Scorch is a great source. Besides, Shock become much less effective because we have already gained so much damage taken bonus from Withered, Brittle is also a great source for critical chance. Sap is a very underrated defensive layer as well. Build Mechanic

Defenses used in this build
Скрытый текст
1. Decent evasion rating Main source of flat evasion are from Body Armour and Flask 2. 100% spell suppression cap 3. Blind on hit 4. Ghost Dance I have Ghost Dance on my sanctified relic so I dont take it on the tree, and hence is not showing in POB. You can take the keystone on tree if you dont want to get it on sanctified relic, it is just 2 point away. 5. 20% Sap prolif With "Fury of Nature" from forbidden jewel and Secrets of Suffering keystone, this build can apply 20% Sap to entire screen, which is equivalent to 20stack fortification. 6. Automation - Steelkin 7. Call to Arm - Enduring Cry 8. Fast movement and Totem playstyle This build has over 100% increase move speed, together Totem playstyle, make it pretty safe if play cautiously. 9. Progenesis flask and Wellspring of Creation Atlas Keystone These two are great defenses that can be used on almost any build. This build has excessive damage, you should play with Wellspring of Creation Atlas Keystone all the time. 10. Pantheon Soul of Lunaris/Garukhan for mapping Soul of Araakali/Ryslatha for bossing 11. More defense IF you need more defense, you can drop some offensive nodes on the tree and take more defense, this build has more than enough offense. For instance, "5% of Damage from Hits is taken from your nearest Totem's Life before you" is a great alternative totem mastery if you want to have more defense. Videos

Level with any bow skill you like together with a ballista skill, use Wrath/Anger aura before you can use "Wilma's Requital". When you are able to use "Wilma's Requital", swap into pure ballista build (frenzy as support skill), and start using Haste aura.

Abhorrent Interrogation Gloves Interaction with Totems and Adjustment made to the build
Скрытый текст
As confirmed by GGG in the "Build of the Week" video (3:20), withering support from the frenzy setup does not increase the damage dealt by totem. GGG also confirmed in the same video (3:03) that the totems can inflict wither (from Abhorrent Interrogation) and have their damage output increased. I think that implies whither inflicted by the character only increase damage dealt by character itself, and whither inflicted by the totems only increase damage dealt by totems. If the above is true, there is no need to have "Withering Touch Support" in the frenzy setup. I have updated the 6l frenzy link to replace "Withering Touch Support" and "Barrage Support" with "Blind Support" and "Maim Support". (Barrage support is also not needed anymore, because we no longer need to hit a single target multiple times to inflict as many wither as we can.) Defensive Layers
Скрытый текст
I have seen quite some comments saying this build is a glass cannon which is not true. This build might not be the tankiest build I have made, but to say this build is glass cannon is a bit overkill. Why the build's defense look bad in POB (maybe offense as well)?
Скрытый текст
I personally am not good at configuring POB, I only use POB to plan out skill tree, at best I tick some obvious buff to check what are the better nodes/support gems for DPS, I mostly ignore defense configurations in POB, so the POB I shared normally do not show the full potential of the build. Could this build level to 100 solo?
Скрытый текст
Yes, I see a lot comments saying I buy 5ways to get to lvl100. Here is the video I chaining corrupted rare t16 to level 100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA32sXgCVAY. My other build guide

Looks Fun, I'm going to give it a whirl!
|
|
|
was looking for a balista build as raider and found this build which looks good. i have 2 question tho. why are you using withering step in your frenzy setup and is ancestral bond really worth it?
|
|
" I am using this glove, applying wither will increase my elemental damage. I use the helmet mainly because the mod "Increase and reduction to cast speed apply to attack speed", but ancestral bond is nice to have as well. If it wasn't ancestral bond on the helmet, I might not go ballista for this build. |
|
|
Nice , gonna try it , you think 10 divs is enough to start with ?
|
|
" Yes, this build can start with cheap gear. |
|
"+ great build.. is the build squish?? im playing a miner with great damge, but im geting lots of HKs |
|
" The survivability is ok, this video is me leveling 4hours to level 100 and never die once https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA32sXgCVAY. This build does not use normal determination/grace/defiance banner combo, defense layers this build uses is more complicated and uncommon compared to other build, so I would imagine this build will be squisher for newer player with less experience if they don't fully understand the defenses this build using. I almost play with keystone "Wellspring of Creation" atlas keystone all the time. This is the most underrated defense in POE in my opinion. Последняя редакция: cheapbunny#0890.

Ive been really wanting to build around Wilma’s also, cast speed turning into attack speed really intrigues me.
I decided to try to craft a bow using deafening misery essences (up to 49% cast speed). I made a very mediocre Solarine bow. Also, for onslaught, I’m going to use the sleepless sentries cluster passive and replace the precursor’s emblem with a corrupted doedre’s damning for a lot of resist and extra curse, then take a different annoint. The pob dps only takes into consideration if an enemy only gets hit once by each attack right? But artillery ballista has a high chance of overlapping hits? I’ve never used this skill but I’m looking forward to playing around with it. |
