So, I was playing around with my EA Ballista. It felt lackluster and I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong with it. Took a look at the top EA Ballista Elementalist builds on Poe.Ninja that also use Mageblood and couldn't figure out why it just didn't feel right.

I realized that no one I could find in the top list was using Impossible Escape, but I figured it would open up some options for me, allowing me to manual spec Hired Killer and saving all the points on the chain to Watchtowers as I could now anoint it.

While fixing that, I took a quick look at my ascendancies to see if I should consider removing Bastion of Elements in favor of Shaper of Storms. That's when I realized when I was experimenting with Occultist last week when I specced back to Elementalist, I had accidentally bricked my build, by doing Shaper of Winter instead of Shaper of Flames. I'm an idiot.

That being fixed, all of a sudden I'm a god.

I'm curious if anyone has any good suggestions for replacement on my last medium cluster jewel. Currently using Cremator and Circle of Oblivion.

And of course, any thought in general on my Impossible Escape and next upgrade options. Only thing I can really come up with other than a better helm is maybe more powerful Eater or Exarch mods.
