Check out a new Ballista cluster on the Passive Skill Tree in 3.9.0!

All these bow totem clusters better be behind ancestral bond. Oh wait.

Instead of giving bows a ballista for free there should be a tradeoff for having more than 1 ballista

Can we get more than 1 ancestral protector/ warchief or spell totem for free?

so you can fill all sockets with attack skills and make 20+ totems?

You usually have a totem cap for all totems combined, not per skill gem. So .. no.

The tooltip literally says "Attack skills have +1 to maximum number of Summoned Ballista Totems". This is a passive skill ability, not support ability, so sounds like it applies to all attack skills you equip. So if you equip 20 attack skill gems, you get +20 maximum Ballista.

All that means is instead of attack skills having a cap of 3 total (I think it is 3 for balistas?), they will now have a total of 4.

This is how totems habe always worked.

welcome to bow/ballista league

Lets hope this bow league will be without TS.

TS is still going to be super strong. you can get projectile speed in a bunch of places to basically make it what it is currently, probably.

TS will just have a higher opportunity cost, but it'll still be great you can count on it. it might just take more investment. sacrificing one stat here and there in order to get projectile speed.

using a non unique quiver and some choice crafts you can easily get 100% proj speed. im not sure how much it'll take, but im sure that'll be enough to clear a screens worth of enemies.

I doubt all things go smoothly from start anyway. Even if description states something, doesn't mean it works as expected. I tried to create Spectral Throw miner in Blight and was really pissed off when it didn't work, since ST is by no means a melee skill. Hopefully wands get some love as well or at least these totems will work with them...

I like Totems. Hope they will be competitive with the league mechanic, and that Scion cna get a cool totem build :).

So they do count as Totems and not as their own thing. Which means Chieftain Bombards are a thing.

And all totem nodes are mostly at the deep left side of the whole tree..

Hmmm..

There's always Oils.
