3.23 EXPLOSIVE ARROW BALLISTA ELEMENTALIST - League-Start to End-Game. Easy mode.

Build is looking nice.
Would it be possible to add some low level starter items for early mapping when you don't have access to big stuff yet?

Especially alternative tree and items for the slots of Polaric Devastation, Megalomaniac and Unnatural Instincts.

Also what stats should we concentrate on first?
Of course aside of our resistances/def.

Check the OP in the "Gear Detailed" section.

Heya - Is there a reason the gem setup in PoB is different from what's posted here?

Chest in PoB has Lightning Spire Trap, Frenzy, Combustion, Lifetap, Culling Strike, Advanced Traps.

Chest here has Determination, Grace, Purity of Elements, Defiance Banner, Precision, Enlighten (4),
as well as any 4-link with Frenzy, Lifetap, Lightning Spire Trap, Combustion (where LST is in chest in PoB)

Other differences as well, like having Ice Golem yadda yadda.

Which is correct?

Thanks in advance to any advice

This setup on the page is the endgame setup. I think, it's not further modified. The pob from the video for 2.21 should be reference first until you reach endgame.

Yeh don't look at the gems in the items from the OP. They were linked when the guide was first created over a year ago and things have changed since then. The gear is still relevant, just not the gems linked in them.

Ah thx. Just thought it might be easier to have 1 or 2 example sets directly in pob, to not to have a browser open while playing to quick check for alternatives.

btw. I abused your guide for another guide for myself: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3362782
Hope that's okay :)

Hello! I was thinking about one idea. What if we drop determination completely, get ligtning coil, taste of hate and some other sources of phys taken as ele (helm, watcher), glorious vanity that converts 50% of ele damage to chaos, small cluster for 3 max chaos res and probably some on quiver(?) and cap our chaos res, take golem mastery and use stone +chaos golem for regen for better sustain and phys damage reduction?

Thanks so much for clarifying!
For me, this build on my elementalist feels a little clunky compared to my TR ballista champ, but there's also ~20 levels between them + a lot of gear's tuning.
I definitely need to get more HP so I can stop dying in uber lab.
My bow craft is not as good as the one in the PoB but that one's godtier and I'd have to spend quite some time getting it from what I can tell. Is that alts for the + gems, and then an exalt slam with crossed fingers?

Not sure if this or fire traps will be my league start, but this one felt strong when I played it in early sanctum before work got busy.

Thanks again for your response and keeping this guide updated!

OP has been updated too.

Am I reading this wrong or is it missing the leveling skills on this one?

It's in the notes section :)

What about the new manaforged arrow support? Would you say it's possible to put it to the build so you save yourself from manually casting frenzy
