[3.18] Wallach's Siege Ballista Hierophant (Enjoy Consistent Character Balance)

Thanks for the very clear build. I'm currently getting used to it with decent gear and 1400+ Dexterity. My question - and it's very superficial - is why does my Siege Ballista look like it's shooting fire when clearly it's doing mostly cold damage. In your videos, they look much "cooler".

I'm just using a ballista skin sold in the in-game shop. I think it's the only one they actually have, called Arctic Ballista skin or sometthing.
I melted the bosses in the T16 Vaal Temple map with this build yesterday. It feels great and plays very smoothly.

Hi mate, did ypu tested which Watchers Eye will be better?

1. Crit base + flat cold
2. Crit base + cold penetration %

Or maybe: Crit base + flat cold + swapping added cold damage gem in 6-link for something %more damage

Well, I guess I need to buy that then. :) Thanks!
very good
Hey. I've always enjoyed your youtube videos and I've watched all you have posted this league so far.
After playing Warchief Chieftain and Arc Ignite Elementalist I decided to give Siege Ballista a try, since I love totems builds.
I gathered a bunch of gear and got to leveling. After playing for 3-4 days now I think this is my favourite build so far in Poe.
It just has a good balance of damage and survivability, also quite quick on its feet which just gives it this smooth feeling.

I made mine before you posted this guide but its probably like 95% similar to your character.
So thank you for sharing!
Hey Wallach,

Could you take a look at my PoB (I'm new to it, so I hope I set it up correctly) and see what could be improved.

I'm missing some Dexterity, but still only getting 1/2 of what your Full DPS is in PoB.

Cheers!

I think some of this might just be configuration issues? If you want to see your proper maximum DPS for something like Sirus, you probably want to configure it something like this (based on your current gear):

https://pastebin.com/4qjWyu1y

You can play with things from there to see different situations (Hypothermia, farther targets, no flasks, etc).

EDIT - I should probably mention, I don't think your CWDT is high enough level to trigger the level of Molten Shell you're using.

Wallach big thanks to you for this build! Having quite some fun did T14 map at level 72:) anyhow I got a question about improving gear considering I'm not getting tons of exalts but anyhow my current budget is 3.5ex+370c and my character gear is https://pastebin.com/bpmaNY2x what would be best investment into this build to melt endgame bosses like sirus?
