Artillery Ballista Tactician | Dawn Of The Hunt Leveling and End Game Build
Comments
Hey Guys!
Back with another Artillery Ballista build. This time I'm doing it on Tactician and its going very well. I'm already clearing red maps. Artillery Ballista was changed in this patch. It now fires 3 projectiles baseline and its damage was reduced to adjust for this. I'm doing this on Tactician using the ascendancy points Suppressing Fire and Where We Want them, your artillery ballista now pins and disables the enemies. This is a massive defensive layer that made leveling in the campaign super easy and I've sailed smoothly to level 80 with little investment.
Part of what has made this so smooth is I am using painters gloves instead of blueflame. Painters gloves are a significant damage increase which has made me scale my damage well above the content that I should be able to do. I don't even have a greater jewelers orb yet and this is going very smooth. Since we are pinning, blue flame freezing isn't as needed. You can choose to stack them for giga safe gameplay, but the painters gloves damage increase is really nice. There are also the new Valkors gloves that convert fire to lightning. I am playing around with the idea of a Shocktillery build using the lucky damage passives, but not setup for that at the moment.
Few lame bugs here. I tried using pin to build frenzy charges for charge infusion. Give my totems some skill speed buffs, but the pin is giving the frenzy charges to the totems, not me. So the charge is never getting consumed, since the charge infusion is my buff not theirs, big L here. For spirit gems I decided to mess with tame beast for now. I'm using a haste aura right now for move speed and skill speed for my totems.
Also for my next ascendancy points I want to eventually use Watch How I do it to buff my totems, but I heard that is bugged right now. If there are bugs with these interactions and artillery ballista, for ultra end game this is another L for tactician. but I HAVE NOT tested this yet personally. Ultimately though I went tactician to try out other builds but right now just playing ballista for that currency farm. I did kill arbiter with this build on deadeye, if Watch How I Do It does work with your totems, I am quite confident tactician could clear Arbiter as well.
As of right now there are no major concerns though. Quite confident I'll be able to farm lots of currency with this build.
Good luck! :)

I just really don't see a reason to play tactician outside of aura botting, which is what I see most people doing on PoE ninja
Nice one ! Wondering life should go gemling or tactician. Gemling for lvl i suppose, but the pin cc seems quite nice, no ?
Are you guys having problems with PoB for artillery ballista? Keeps giving me incorrect values (compared to tooltip).
For instance, PoB thinks flat added elemental damage on the xbow is a big dps improvement, but tooltip doesn’t.
ngl base off the damage in the video, just going siege cascade solo does more damage
You make good shit!
Also for my next ascendancy points I want to eventually use Watch How I do it to buff my totems, but I heard that is bugged right now.
Why do you think its bugged, Im genuinely confused because I've been reading dozens of people talking about that node for tactician when it just doesnt work, totems has no own offensive stats therefore that node doesnt work with them unless they have reworked totems.
Is there a reason why people aren't using "Cannons, Ready!"? That's what drew me to Tactition, please dont tell me its bad too...
Tried this but man does it produce a lot of visual clutter, When I fought viper boss I couldn't even see her.
