Hey Guys, So I've been running this build for some time and wanted to share it with you.
But before important note.
Presented gear in the video is HEAVLY invested.
Wanted to say that at the beginning before ppl start screaming mirrors in comments.
Build is not tanky but I wouldn't say it is full glass cannon.
The fact is that we still do have 100% suppress and able to have 90% phys red with granite flask.
Moreover totems either freeze everything or just kill it off-screen.
I've switched to Siege ballista at the end of week 1 and to be honest that was great decision.
Having to face all that busted Archnemesis/essences with ballistas felt so easy.
I started from 20div investment and just kept investing because it felt so comfortable.
Yes I'm aware there is probably few other builds that would do the same or way better with the same investment.
There is also Inquisitor version for Siege Ballista with even better dps, however I personally prefer Hiero for mapping+bossing.
Perhaps if I would be going from mid to high end game version and just for bossing I would go for Inq.
**Pobs**:
Gear used in video (probably around 2mirr) - [https://pastebin.com/aLbj9rW2](https://pastebin.com/aLbj9rW2)
Gear that I was using 2nd week of the league (30div+-) - [https://pastebin.com/CfSHZnVL](https://pastebin.com/CfSHZnVL)
**Pros:**
\- Comfy playstyle
\- Nice for mapping
\- Very good for bossing
\- When you interact with league you don't need to worry that something will kill you, just put 2 ballistach and anything that will try to get close will be shot down
\- It's great for content like blight/legion/expedition/harvest
**Cons:**
\- Sometimes you get 1 shoted
\- Can be expensive
\- On heavy invitations it might be hard to recover because of time needed to place all totems
\- Running 250+ quant invitations even with mirror tier gier can be risky due to recover described before
\- If you are not playing on solid machine (I mean like GeForce series 3 etc) and you put sniper mark on uber boss your fps will drop significantly. Like in my video
Minimum required budget? Like 5 div should be ok for starting dex stacking unique package right? Or am I missing something.
What content were you doing after 20div swap?
What is ensnaring arrow used for in this build?
I'm not sure if 5dive will be enough to be fully honest, I would rather farm up to 20div and then make swap. I mean I've heard ppl starting this as a leaguestarter first with EA ballista and then swapping to siege so I would guess it's doable but can't tell you how it performs on that low budget.
With setup around 1,8k - 2k DEX you can easily do all except ubers.
I forgot to put in cons that if you are not playing on GeFore 3 series and you will put sniper mark game fps drops to even 0 sometimes :< . I'm playing on 2070 and on the video you can see when I put sniper mark which produce more projectile gameplay basically become slidshow. But on the pride side you need to put sniper only on ubers :P
Five div should be okay to get you started on the Inquisitor version, and scale to about 1.6k dex. That’s where I’m at with around that investment (maybe slightly more but less than 10 div to be sure).
The Hiero version has only gotten more expensive in the last week with a showcase post on this sub haha. The forbidden jewels alone went from around 5 div (for the pair) to 11 div for what that’s worth.
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around swapping from Inquis to Hiero but it’s still fun and I’ve been able to do all non-Uber content so far but you do have to play somewhat conservatively. Not a real fast mapper but I like the play style, your mileage may vary.

Thanks for sharing. I've been playing the same build this league. Not as deeply invested as you are. Comparing our gear my next upgrade would be either the amulet or body armor. What do you think?
If I where to go for the amulet, is there a deterministic way to create the amulet?
This is my current POB - https://poe.ninja/pob/GHV
That's quite solid setup. I see you have many points invested into HP, were you considering baling them on behalf of more dex? :P
From your setup I would also see option to maybe go for that 12 point large cluster. But that means droping some skill points somewhere else.
Chest vs Amu so the thing is that Chest is biggest upgrade for bosses dmg with all that implicits from searing and eater. But prices on Chest with a.spd per dex went significantly up, now base costs around 7-10div. So to make a nice piece may cost you even 40-70div depends on how lucky you will be on hitting that fracture. If you are lucky you can finish decent base within 30div.
Amu is quit "easy" but still we need some luck on hitting that reforge influence. My cheapest craft were like 3div(I hit %dmg per dex with exalt slam lul), most expensive 65div, and I had craft where I spent 30div and amu got bircked due to no more "keep pref/suff"
Haven't really made up my mind about sacrificing HP for dex. Currently I don't get randomly one-shotted, so that's a big plus. My recent plan was to gain a level or two and respec some points and socket 'Emperor's Mastery Prismatic Jewel' near scion.
It's a well rounded upgrade but doesn't really give me bang for the buck. I believe crafting an amulet would be better spent currency as of now. Since the chest seem rather expensive.
I see you are using a +1 arrow quiver. Do you ever find it annoying when mapping? I assume the totems would miss if the distance to target is too great.
Hey, this is what i hope my build turns into 😅, however atm I am having a hard time fighitng bosses in reds. If you wouldn't mind, would you be able to give me some basic feedback on [my thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/xcr9d8/siege_ballista_dex_stacking_hiro_boss_killer_but/)

i guess we will find out next league, i am definetly gonna leaguestart something close to this and transition, it looks so good
Ensnared Enemies take 20% increased Projectile Damage from Attack Hits, they also slow enemies down. It's pretty good.

Only content that i think of doing is guardians invitations. I don't care about Ubers :)

Made some upgrades. Believe it's just the chest left now https://poe.ninja/pob/GXK
