3.13 Updated Shrapnel Ballista Build-League Starter+Boss Killer+Good Clear Speed

"

Another option I am playing with for faster map clearing is gemming a 2nd bow and using ballista totem+Tornado shot

Is this build tanky enough to do end-game bosses and new 3.13 content? Thanks in advance.

Can you elaborate on the full 6-link for that please? Loving the idea, thanks!

is the (- channel cost) in cons supposed to be (- to non channel cost instead)? im pretty sure that ballistas dont count as a channel skill. it just struck me as odd so i figured i'd ask for clarification.

been running this since league start, working out very well so far if not for just a little janky against some bosses and encounters. easy to use and very strong.

Yes it is, you can drop the frenzy tree for straight life and get near 7k if you wish. I was able to crush Sirius with this build---it really pushes phases.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I'm new with totems so my questions are newbie questions... I'm a bit worried since I see you grab acrobatics which isn't a very consistent layer of defense if we use only that. Which other layers of defense we have? I see we use fortify too, that's great but is enough to tank high damage mobs?

I'm talking about not dying at 10 boss encounter, simulacrums, t16+ deliriums. Is this build cappable to do these kind of content? Another question... don't ballistas die often or they are tough enough?

We have a combined high chance to not be hit...and fortify helps when we do...phasing flask helps as well. I don't know about the 10 boss encounter...havent gotten there yet, but ballistas are pretty tough, and once you have the speed upgrades pooping them out is quick.

First of Strike, last to fall is a bit... inconsistent? How often do we get low life? Is there another way to get low life more consistent? That's why I'm wondering if the taunt or banner node would be better. Sorry too many question but I'm really interested in being tanky and doing high-end content this time for once and with this build. Thanks!

You can use whichever one you like, typically I am rarely low on life---its when I mess up and get smacked hard. The taunt node I know some people perfer.


PS: It'd be AWESOME if you can record some clearing speed video with Tornado Shot.
Once I get my Tornado shot 6L I ll whip one up!
