Build Overview

This Mortar Cannon Ballista Totem Build utilizes Cluster Grenade to deal Devastating Damage while being nearly unkillable for next to no cost, this build can easily kill all pinnacle bosses on the hardest difficulty and run 100% delirious T16 and T17 maps with ease. Having 500+ life regen makes this build feel really comfortable while mapping, also this is literally a 1 button build so there is no need for piano playstyle you just drop your totems and go making it great for beginners and veterans alike so if you are looking for a cheap and simple build to blast Poe 2 endgame this is the build for you.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Crazy Survivability
  • Good damage
  • One button easy playstyle
  • Not insanely fast when it comes to speed farming but still holds it own

Build Variants

This is the more expensive version of the build that costs around 70-90 divine orbs but is well worth it with crazy amounts of damage, almost 2k health regen per second all while being a one button build.

As for the gear I will put the bases I am using and what mods you want to have but you want to try and find bases with the highest total armor amount if possible, aside from the weapon where you want a Siege Crossbow for the additional grenade implicit and the chest you want ornate plate for the life regen implicit everything else can be whatever high armor base types you can find with the right mods, be sure to place your crossbow in weapon set 2 for the benefits of Rigwald's Ferocity support gem

For Jewels we do use Undying Hate Timeless Jewel which sacrifices to 'Tecrod', a time-lost ruby, and Heart of the Well Unique Jewel in this more expensive higher damage version of the build, for exact placement and an explanation be sure to check out the video guide where I will explain everything in detail.

How it Plays

This build is very simple overall, killing enemies with Mortar Cannon Totems which only requires one button and once in a while using 'encase in jade' for a bit of extra defense.

How it Works

1) Run around laying totems around once each second or less (to bypass the reload time of the totems we just lay new ones) killing everything around you while you dodge enemies.

2) Use 'Incase in Jade' for a bit of extra defense in tough situations.

3) Rinse and Repeat (very simple one button playstyle)
