PoE Ballistics builds

POB: I'd like some feedback on what I've thrown together so far. I disabled most temp buffs, reliant on flasks etc, disabled Ass mark, but it's a big crit increase on bosses, so rupture should always be up. Also have ensnaring arrow with a totem and increased crits to make sure of that. I don't think rupture damage shows up in POB, and cant find anything about it in config, so dmg should be a lot better than what it is. Gear is all pretty average, so lotta room for improvement there, both damage wise and life wise. Lotta things to upgrade into the endgame I thin

So i made this tanky build for a change: The idea was to use Int not only for HOWA and Accuracy with Shaper's Touch, but also to increase Evasion (also Shaper's Touch), which gets converted to armour with Iron Reflexes. I managed to squeeze in 2\ Stalwart Commander, that makes about 60k armour in HO and 90k with a Jade Flask. I took some blocking nodes and the claw wheel on the long way to Elemental Overload, put the cluster j

With the new Rupture Node i've tried to come up with a Puncture version of the Deadeye, the idea being that the extra defense layer of Gale Wind will be enough to survive on the meager lifepools of the ranger and have the new Rupture node to take care of boss damage by focusing on crit, combined with perfect agony. But when meddling in Pob theres just too much Traveling - the Bleed Multiplier nodes are all in the Marauder-vicinity, while crit is a massive investment in the Ranger / Assassin area. Overall i managed to build 4.7 m

Hey all, as the league is winding down got a friend to fund a vaguely shitty build, a Replica Eternity Shroud Phys+Chaos Power Siphon Obliteration Pathfinder. I really like the idea of this chest, but without conversion abuse like normal EtShroud has with CotB, I haven't been able to squeeze too much damage out of it. I've built a tree with 1mill DPS (flasks up, but it's Pathfinder) but pretty minimal survivability, any ideas on how I could either get more damage out of this or more defensive layers without sacrificing too much damage? Also I like using influenced uniques, so some of the bui

Hello exiles, &x200B; just theorycrafted some selfcast blazing salvo builds for ascendant (door + pathfinder), door and elementalist. They all use MoM + EB (specced until devouring diadem). The way i simulated the dps for BS is I took old firestorm lvl 18 which has pretty much the same dps as lvl 20 BS. I also used lvl 15 immolate to simulate the lower added dmg effectivnes of blazing salvo. The gear i used for simulation is in my opinion mediocre. Obviously devouring diadem is not gonna be easy to get on league start but it should get a lot cheaper after a week or two. Since i dont ha

I'm theorycrafting a Spectral Shield Throw Cast on Crit Ethereal Knives Deadeye. The last post on this topic seems to be around a year ago, and seemed to conclude that it's not worth it to use CoC with SST. I'm trying a different track where I want to use the massive number of projectiles to spread my poisons far faster. I also plan to blade blast (with more poison) . I'd love ideas about to make substantive improvements on the build. Note, the gear was selected to be good, with the uniques likely to be obtainable (if expensive), and the rares may not be reasonable. If you see an impossi

I'm tired of seeing build guides for Spectral Shield Throw that pad their damage with unreliable buffs or mirror-worthy gear. Here is a Spectral Shield Throw build that gets over 1 million damage with really cheap gear. While reaching that benchmark, it does not use: Awakened gems Corrupted gems or gear Cluster jewels Watcher's Eyes Anoints, catalysts, or enchants Charges unsustainable for boss fights Rage/Rampage Shocks You can add these things to the build once you're willing to start investing in it to really push your damage, but too many builds make extraordinar

I had a cluster jewel drop with the vengeful commander notable on it and thought it could be interesting to use in a build with all 3 auras and all 3 elemental damage types on wild strike. here is what I have planned so far although it probably could be optimized by someone better than me. Also the cluster jewels are what I've already got to work with. Any advice before I commit to this would be fantastic.
