[POE 3.25] Day#1 RED MAP ANNIHILATOR // Discussing my ITEMS, COMMON MISTAKES // Gameplay & more!

Hello ma boy, In case you don't know me or you just found my channel, know that I've been playing Siege Ballista for more than 4 years now ( 80% of my videos are Ballista related ). Did all the possible variations, from extreme poo-poo tier to Mirror of Kalandra items.. This version here will satisfy everyone, has the perfect balance of defenses, cost and offenses. IF DONE RIGHT, this is a very strong build! My Siege Ballista version is VERY CHEAP, TANKY, has GREAT DPS / ABSURD AOE CLEARS; THIS IS A 100% NOOB FRIENDLY BUILD If you want to push this build further -> Go Check "THE UPGRADES" section from the Siege Ballista build guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11qb1NGOR14 DO NOT OVERPAY FOR YOUR ITEMS! Again, Go Check the Siege Ballista build guide in order to see how to craft your items! For League Start scenario progression I have a full guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIUy2o0m4TQ If you have questions or need further help, you can join my Discord server here: ( There is a dedicated Siege Ballista channel ) https://discord.gg/CnXzKssuDn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON MISTAKES: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This build does a lot of damage even on a budget. If you do low DPS or die often in your maps means you messed it up! ( some ) people just rush for the POB and skip all my warnings and explanations from the BUILD GUIDE video regarding Siege Ballista and its special interactions. Don't do that! 1) NOT TAKING DEXTERITY ON THE RARE ITEMS! ( most common problem ) 2) NOT TAKING "POINT BLANK" KEYSTONE / NOT USING A "Sleepless Sentries" Medium Cluster jewel ( TIP: buy it 4 or 5 Passives because it will save you 1 Skill Point ) 3) NOT HAVING 20% QUALITY ON THE SIEGE BALLISTA SKILL GEM ( This is a BIG DPS LOSS! ) 4) USING A LOW LEVEL SIEGE BALLISTA SKILL GEM. ( If you use a low level skill gem you deal POO-POO DPS & YOUR TOTEMS DIE FAST ) 5) NOT UNLOCKING THE LABS. YOU SHOULD NOT ENTER MAPPING PHASE WITHOUT THE FIRST 3 LABS UNLOCKED! ( There is a BIG reason why we picked HIEROPHANT for this build concept! ) 6) NOT USING THE RIGHT FLASKS, NOT USING FRENZY, NOT HAVING THE FRENZY SETUP CORRECTLY ( to summon the golem & curse with Frostbite ) 7) DOING SOMEONE ELSE'S SIEGE BALLISTA VARIATION AND COMPLAINING HERE! As explained, I tested all the variations possible for Siege Ballista and it took me quite some time to come up with this version. WHEN FINISHED, WE CAN DO ALL MAP MODIFIERS ( including no regen, elemental reflect! ), ALL EATER OF WORLDS ALTARS, WE ARE TANKY, SOLID DPS FOR ALL T16 IN-MAP CONTENT & MOST IMPORTANT -> THE BUILD IS VERY CHEAP TO MAKE ( Especially with league start prices! ) EXTRA TIPS: -Check if STRENGTH is HIGHER THAN INTELLIGENCE on your Fractal Thoughts ( helmet ). If Intelligence is higher you will not get that extra 15% increased dexterity! -If you plan doing very juiced T16 maps, you will need to raise your elemental resistance overcap ( more than 75% ). This is because we have map modifiers, altars modifiers, league mechanic modifiers & monster modifiers that can drastically shred your resistances up to NEGATIVE! -There are plenty of upgrades that you can do! Remember to check the Siege Ballista build guide and skip to the "The Upgrades / Push The Build!" TIMESTAMP to see what you can do next. This build CAN FARM SANCTUMS on league start scenario ( with mediocre items ); Made a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdvYtru4fyI Good luck!
