Hi All,

I put together 2 templates (Hierophant and Champion) that I believe offer a different take on the current ignite-heavy EA Ballista builds (from XaiTV, Crouching_tuna, Palsteron, and others). While I can in no way call these original, I think they can be tanky while putting out acceptable damage. The only gear equipped by default (if you look at items) is a +3 bow and 4-5 unrolled flasks (Silver, Jade, Granite, Quartz).

  • Use an enduring mana/hybrid flask if needed
  • The EA skill group is set to Barrage, swap with GMP for clear
  • I don't know if the Flame Surge tech that everyone is using makes any sense on these builds or not, but it is included in the skills. If it doesn't appear to add any value, it can be easily switched out for some other QOL setup
  • I added a single custom modifier for resistances - I assume you will get this on gear (tweak accordingly)
  • On the Hierophant tree, I did not annoint Watchtowers. That can save 6-7 points if you want to invest those elsewhere (life, evasion, armour, etc.)
  • On the Champion tree, use Precision until you get the Worthy Foe ascendancy passive
  • Because these are not Ignite-based builds, they probably have a very low top-end (or I just don't know how to scale them properly). However, I think they will help prevent too many unnecessary deaths.

Here are the POBs:

I hope someone will find these helpful. All suggestions are welcome.

PS: XaiTV's EA Ballista builds (on Zizaran's channel) have excellent leveling notes in the POBs in case anyone is curious about how to level these builds. I saw XaiTV's builds earlier today and now I'm wondering myself if I should use what I came up with or go with his Champion version.
