Build Overview

Welcome to my early leveling Artillery Ballista Amazon build. This build is designed to make progressing through the campaign easier. There will be two sections: one dedicated to the main build, and another focused specifically on Acts 1 and 2, as those are particularly challenging and require a separate approach.

Overall, this is a very straightforward build that utilizes Artillery Ballista alongside Flash Grenade , Explosive Grenade and Gas Grenade

When it comes to equipment, it's pretty straightforward. You're mainly trying to get a crossbow with elemental damage to attacks and extra levels to projectile skills. That’s the most important part of the setup. Accuracy is nice, but not essential. For the rest of your gear, you’re mostly just looking to stack life and resistances. You can go with either an armor/evasion or energy shield/evasion base—both work just fine. Here's a full breakdown:

Crossbow:

1. Elemental Damage to Attacks

2. +Levels to Projectile Skills

3. (Optional) Accuracy

Armor (Helmet, Chest, Gloves):

1. Life

2. Resistances

3. Armor/Evasion or Energy Shield/Evasion base

Boots:

1. Movement Speed (15%)

2. Life

3. Resistances

Rings and Gloves:

1. Accuracy

2. Life

3. Resistances

Main Build

set 1:

set 2:

Passives like Falcon Dive, Polymathy, Cooked are LOWER PRIORITY compared to Acceleration, Watchtowers and Ancestral Artifice.

Overall just follow the tree you'll probably not use much intelligence for this bill besides maybe for Clarity and for the most part dex stack unless you need strength for weapon/armor or Herald of Ash

How it Works

The build please very simple you drop down your Artillery Ballista and use oil, Flash Grenade and Explosive Grenade. Depending on the point you are in the game you can utilize Explosive Shot To Proc your grenades but otherwise you're generally able to use Artillery Ballista to deal most your damage so don't feel pressured to shoot.
