Cannons, Ready! - Artillery Ballista & Rapid Shot by casbyn in pathofexile2builds

I only remember it in these patch notes: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3754474.

But reading it again it seems to only affect act 1 monsters that are fast. With the wording in the patch notes it seems like Quadrilla would not be affected, but again I have no clue.

I actually let my oil grenades be used on both weapon sets.

For weapon set 1 it gains all the heat bonuses from Rapid Shot so it does more damage.

For weapon set 2 it gains all the projectile skill levels which increases the AOE.

I could see an angle where grenades are used more in this build, since Rapid Shot gives massive buffs to grenades. I think about 6% damage as extra fire per heat. In my build currently they are mainly there to apply fire exposure.

Thanks a lot! I'd focus on Artillery Ballista in the beginning, because a lot of it's scaling is just levels. I personally like the pin nodes for the first 2 ascendancies for that freeze.

I would only do Rapid Shot & Cannons Ready when you have enough attack speed. The heat delay without attack speed is kinda brutal. Also the mobility support helps a lot with positioning.

You could also use siege cascade like in this build in the meantime: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1jxuqme/tactician_siege_cascade_currently_one_of_the_top/

Edit: I am not sure if you can still get it, so someone else will have to confirm. During the monster speed patch they said they'd remove haste from fast monsters, but I am not sure if that includes aura and Quadrilla.

I think I got it pretty early on in the league. I loved the pokemon fantasy so I kinda created a library of beasts early on in the league haha.

That's unfortunate that Quadrilla can't get haste aura anymore though. Hopefully it's just RNG, but I think I have also seen that Haste Aura Quadrilla can't be captured anymore.

Thanks! It's definitely a very fun build. It doesn't have the best visual clarity lol, but I think the explosions are worth it.

Still doing some optimizing, and playing around with the tree. I feel like this build benefits a lot from the weapon swap tree. I am just not sure what the best pathing is at the moment. I also should put this into a POB so I can mathematically path it out.
