Build Overview

YouTube Video Linked!

I Stream Daily on Twitch, come Check me out!

Would Greatly Appreciate Any Support on my YouTube, TikTok, or Twitch. I plan on making content so any support is greatly appreciated. I'll link those below this. Thanks for checking out my build!

This is my Siege Cascade Tactician for patch 0.2.0! The build is capable of killing all T4 Pinnacle bosses including Arbiter! The build is 1 button mapping, can do all bosses, and has capabilities for Simulacrum. We utilize Pin Buildup so all enemies are locked down and can move or attack!

My Tactician uses Siege Cascade combined with massive increases to AOE to easily clear large packs of monsters. We combined Polcirkeln with Herald of Ice to allow us to explode packs of monsters which makes mapping 1 button with Siege Cascade. We'll support our mapping with Artillery Ballista which will shoot projectiles down on enemies and grab agro.

Map Bosses get deleted by Glacial Bolt combined with The Deepest Tower. We'll utilize Low Life nodes like Stars Aligned, Finality, and Finishing Blows which will massively increase the damage we do. Glacial Bolt lays down Ice Crystals that are destroyed by Artillery Ballista and overlap due to our AOE increases. Map Bosses die within a couple seconds with no issues.

Pinnacle Bosses get locked down and can't move or attack due to Suppressing Fire and Right Where We Want Them. This allows us to melt them away with no worries. This prevents even Arbiter from doing his attacks. We'll use Glacial Bolt and Artillery Ballista just like we do on map bosses and mix in War Banner, Elemental Conflux, and Trinity for massive damage boost which allow us to kill T4 Pinnacles within a couple seconds.

Our Defense is Hyrri's Ire which will essentially give us Acrobatics without the Evasion penalty. We'll stack a lot of Evasion and have a 95% Chance to Evade Melee Attacks and a 90% Chance to Evade Projectile Attacks. Since the Mercenary side of the tree doesn't have access to Energy Shield and stacking Life isn't effective enough yet, this is the best solution I could come up with for the Ascendancies lack of Defense. This build will only Improve as they Buff Armor and hopefully make Life Stacking a little easier.

Crossbow:

On Weapon Set 1, you'll want a Crossbow with +5-7 Level of Projectile Skills, 450+ DPS, and preferably Loads an Additional Bolt implicit or suffix. Other goods stats are Attack Speed, Strength, and Dexterity. If you get Loads an Additional Bolt, you'll be able to shoot off multiple shots of Siege Cascade before having to reload

On Weapon Set 2, you'll want a Crossbow with +7 Levels of Projectile Skills and that's it. Just need to boost the level of your Artillery Ballista

Helmet:

Go for High Evasion around 800+ to ensure you Evade as much as possible. Get Attributes like Dex, Str, or Int, Max Life, and any needed Resistances. Getting a double socket corruption will also help fill out any needed Resistances or Attributes

Body Armor:

We're using Hyrri's Ire as it gives us the effect of Acrobatics without the Evasion Penalty. You can pick one up for 2 Div and can get a 3 socket one like I have for 5-6 Div depending on time of day. The extra socket provides more Evasion. Try to get one with 35+ Dexterity.

Gloves:

Go for High Evasion, 250+ to ensure you Evade as much as possible. Go for Attack Speed, Added Damage to Attacks, Attributes, and Resistances. Getting a double socket corruption will also help fill out any needed Resistances or Attributes

Boots:

Go for High Evasion, 450+ to ensure you Evade as much as possible. Go for 30%+ Movement Speed, Max Life, Attributes, and Resistances. Getting a double socket corruption will also help fill out any needed Resistances, Attributes, and now more Movement Speed using the new Movement Speed Rune

Rings

We'll use Polcirkeln to increase our clear speed, you can get a corrupted one with Increased Skill Speed or Increased Damage if you want to min max

The other Ring should be used to fill out any needed Attributes, Resistances, Evasion, Life, or Mana. You can get Added Damage to Attacks and also get a corrupted one with Increased Skill Speed or Increased Damage if you want to min max

Amulet:

Go for any Amulet as long as it has at least 45 Total Added Spirit to it if you want to run all the Spirit Gems I use. Go for Increased Evasion Rating, +3 Level of Projectile Skills, and fill out any needed Attributes or Resistances

Anoint with any of the following based on your needs:

Volcanic Skin for damage and Fire Resistances

Falcon Dive for best DPS and more Attack Speed

Acceleration for Skill and Movement Speed

Deep Trance for Attack Speed and Reduced Mana Cost

Mass Hysteria for Attack Speed and Totem Attack Speed

Escape Velocity for Evasion and Movement Speed

Freedom of Movement for Evasion and Reduced Movement Speed Penalty

Belt:

Go for Max Life, Max Mana, and any needed Resistances. You can get a corrupted one with Increased Evasion Rating to further increase your Evasion Rating

Jewels:

You'll want a Recover 2% Mana on Kill Rare Jewel at minimum to sustain Mana when Mapping unless you have Mana on Kill on your Xbow, Rings, or Gloves.

Get a Prism of Belief with +3 to Glacial Bolt for the biggest DPS increase. You can get one for 1 Div as of recording

Get a Megalomaniac with any Evasion Nodes like Escape Velocity, Beastial Skin, Enhanced Reflexes, Freedom of Movement, Careful Consideration. If you can get a Megalomaniac with 2 Evasion Nodes this will be best but feel free to go for Damage, Attack Speed, Projectile Damage, etc with the last slot or two. Expect to spend between 1 Div to 5 Div depending on what you want, you can spend 20+ Div for a super OP one

A From Nothing with Passives in Radius of Acrobatics. This will let you get Enhanced Reflexes, Heartbreaking, and Heartstopping which will get you Evasion, Dex, Str, and Int. This is 1 Chaos Orb as of recording

I've Ordered the Skills and Support Gems in the way you should Equip them! Watch the YouTube video if you want anymore explanation of what is happening here!

Siege Cascade - Our main 1 button mapping skill, it fires a bolt at every target within a certain radius of you so use it to clear large packs easily

Artillery Ballista - Use this to support you in mapping and make sure to get all 3 down before you initiate a boss fight as its used to break the Ice Crystals created by Glacial Bolt and Ignite for Immolate

Glacial Bolt - Use this on Bosses and Rare's when needed. Make sure to shoot these at the feet of the boss and let Artillery Ballista help you break them for tons of damage. Just make sure to stand close to the Boss to get the bonus from The Deepest Tower

Hypothermia - Use this to Lower the targets Cold Resistance. This is needed for Bosses that have lots of Cold Resistance such as Xesht who has 75% to All Elemental Resistances. Prep this on the ground before the Boss can be damaged

Wind Dancer - This is giving us 30% More Evasion be sure to have this ASAP. Gale Force will activate and let you escape when you get hit

Herald of Ice - This combined with Polcirkeln and Siege Cascade will let us delete the entire screen in 1 click thanks to all the shatter effects

Trinity - This will provide a nice Elemental Damage Increase to help us melt those Pinnacle Bosses just by damaging them

Elemental Conflux - This is a rotating Elemental Damage Buff that will increase either Cold, Fire, or Lightning Damage every 6 seconds if you're running Fast Forward

War Banner - This will generate Valour for kills or standing near a Unique Boss, drop this down to get a boost to Damage and Accuracy

Passive Tree

You can see what nodes I pick as I progress the tree with the Notable Priority Feature!

I tried to organize the Notable Passive's in the order and Route I'd take them as best as I could. The weapon set points are crucial to getting the most out of our damage as our Weapon Set 2 is our Artillery Ballista.

I've used Path of Building to try to best path this skill tree but there may be some variants that may be better than this. Feel free to come by my YT and leave me suggestions in my comments!

Atlas Tree

This is my preferred current method of farming but I have found good value out of Essences and Strongboxes if you juice them and corrupt them. The most straight forward method is going to be what I have shown here.

I would avoid Rogue Exiles no matter what, they just don't spawn frequently regardless if you've built into them and they spawn with corrupted gear half the time. Until they're buffed, don't bother with them.

How it Plays
