Palsteron's Notes

Trying out one of the more pormising builds for 3.18, in case Explosive Arrow Ballista gets nerfed. This build surprised me all the way, especially during leveling. (Path of Exile, PoE) Low-budget version can do everything up to shaper/elder invitations, after that you want to switch to Darkscorn. This is not a full build GUIDE, but I will make an update video with all the changes from 3.18, I'll keep you posted!
