PoE Pathfinder, Ballista Totem builds

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

Only the second league I've tried to play to endgame. This build feels pretty comfortable doing regular pinnacles and I'm really enjoying it - but wondering what I go for next.. POB: I'm playing trade and have around 8div to spend. Some things I'm thinking about: Ailment immunity via Grand Spectrum (have 1, would need 1 more) Woke gems (Void manip primarily) better chest? (no suppress or phys DR...) jewels/respect to clusters? &amp;x200B; Of course I'll be leveling up - which leads to part 2. Which atlas passives ma

As I noticed many people complained about the current state of TR/CA pathfinder, I decided to share my personal experience with the build. Disclaimer: I am a bad player so feel free to correct me I knew I couldn't play a lot during the first week, so my focus was farming currency during the first weekend and investing in items that will eventually appreciate. Therefore, the investments I have made in my build are minimal. Key steps: I leveled as PC until about T8 maps after which I swapped to a 5 link +2 gems bow (&lt;5c). You need vaal CA for single target combined with withering s

I have been playing a Pathfinder, Caustic Arrow Ballista poison build for a bit now and I am liking it a lot. It was not my league starter, but I am thinking of starting it next league as my only character. ( i normally roll a bunch and get bored of it in T16s.) All the gear is super cheap and available. My question is around elevating it more than it is. I think that it is pretty much at a plateau as the upgrades are super expensive, but I was hoping there was some weird interaction that I was missing that would up the DPS. Survivability is great, so no problems there. I imported my ch

This is not meant to serve as a guide, more of a showcase of whats possible and why i plan to play it. this build brings: high dps with low investment (currently sitting at 12mil, can easily double that on higher investment) a comfortable play style, just normal totem things. an insane recovery mechanic, you are near immortal to all hits. dots still hurt. auto flask usage really pretty mtx (celestial caustic arrow is so pretty😊) the option to spec into crazy movement speed optional self cast + fo

super super rough PoB (especially considering changes coming): 3.16 i'm gonna be making an MFinder just for the fun of it and so am having to build around all of the uniques. it's pretty restricting. there's almost no flat life or resistances on the gear (didn't want to put in some PoB ventors) and so am building around that with a super passive playstyle (bow and ballistas) and lots of jewels on the tree. but also damage itself has been a question for me, especially as i don't really trust my capacity to get an honest readout from PoB with all the moving part
