PoE Ballista Totem, SSF builds

3.22 CHANGES < - Leveling section now uses Spectral Throw, as the Duelist leveling meta settled on that and it's simple to play - As of writing this guide we don't have any info yet on the numbers on the new support gems, keep a look out for Sadism support though, this might beat out Elemental Damage With Attacks or Ignite Proliferation. - Even if Sadism doesn't beat another support gem endgame, it might be better before you have Dyadian Dawn. - Volatility might turn out to be good(only the strongest ignite stays on the enemy)

I'd like to introduce a tanky alternative to the traditional TS Deadeye.As with deadeye, you don't want to start TS, this applies to Champion as well. You start off with LA/IS/Galvanic/... or RoA for phys then switch when you think TS won't suck (+2 arrows bare minimum, likely even later). This isn't a full guide, just PoBs with variations of skilltrees/gems, so if you need handholding this isn't the place. The +2 proj on the tree prompted the builds, as I previously enjoyed a phys Impale champion back in... I honestly don't even remember, the character is gone too, so... Disclaimer: Built

Elemental Hit Ballista Champion with Wilma's was my favourite build of Sanctum (SSF btw) and it gets massive buffs for 3.21: ~~Reliable "covered in ash" via Xoph's Blood buffs~~ \+2 Proj from tree 100% increased Damage with Hits against Ignited Enemies Transfer Mark Mastery \+1 max all res (from Reservation Mastery) The character had around 8m shaper dps and manages to hit 13.5m shaper dps with changes (if 3.21 dev pob is correct). ~~3.21 pob:~~ ~~ 3.20 pob

I added 51% increased attack speed to account for WIlma's with Vaal Haste and Onslaught. I think onslaught should be almost 20% due to flask affect which this version of PoB isn't counting, but I'm not sure, so I didn't include it.

FAQ < How much area of effect do we want? You want EXACTLY 39% area of effect, since Pathfinder already gives 30% area of effect, this effectively means you have to get 9% aoe somewhere. There are 2 viable options for this: 18% quality on your Toxic Rain gem or 9% aoe craft on gloves or amulet. I'd recommend the craft since it's hard to get a 21/18 TR gem Why does the tree say 3.19? I want a 3.20 build! This PoB was made before PoB was updated to 3.20, nothing really changes for this build tree-wise, it does gain a bit of damage from the despair

Let's start by talking about the Eternal Damnation Agate amulet which drops from the floor 4 Sanctum boss (Lvl 80+) and can be acquired once you have a sanctum farming build (e.g EA or SRS). Eternal DamnationRequires Level 52+(16–24) to Strength and Intelligence+(40–70) to maximum Mana(-13–13)% to Chaos Resistance\\-5% to all maximum ResistancesGain additional Elemental Damage Reduction equal to half your Chaos Resistance\\ -5% to all maximum resistances is a terrible modifier, but as most of have already figured out, it can be ignored using the unique body armour Loreweave
