Build Overview

Ballista totem build that fires Kinetic Fusillade projectiles via totems. Hierophant provides extra totems and mana sustain. Spell damage converts to attack damage at 150% effectiveness through Iron Will and strength stacking. Ancestral Bond means totems do all damage - you focus on dodging.

Key Requirements
*
Kinetic Fusillade - Build-defining wand attack skill - totems fire hovering projectiles that chain on impact
*
Ballista Totem Support - Core support - totems use KF so you can focus on positioning and dodging
*
Ancestral Bond - Cannot deal damage yourself but +1 totem - all damage through totems
*
Iron Will - Strength damage bonus applies to spells - converts spell damage scaling to attack damage for KF
*
Doedre's Tenure - 150% increased spell damage (converted to attack via Iron Will) at cost of cast speed - totems ignore the cast speed penalty
*
Elemental Overload - Early 40% more elemental damage without crit investment - dropped by L80+ as crit scaling takes over
Synergy Groups
Iron Will+Doedre's Tenure

Iron Will makes strength bonus apply to spell damage. KF converts spell damage to attack damage at 150% effectiveness. Doedre's Tenure gives massive spell damage that feeds through this conversion chain - the cast speed penalty is irrelevant since totems attack independently.
