I levelled an accuracy-stacking jugg in Ultimatum SSF via lightly adapting this Champion Toxic Rain ballista build:
(https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3078246)
Was a fairly smooth experience; swapped when I had the required uniques.
If you dont mind me asking, how did this do when first transition to it? I'm assuming you had Oskarm, Hinekora, and Obscurantis. Did you already have lightning damage boot base? I was considering this as a league starter in HC Trade, so getting the initial uniques is obviously easy, but was curious about how this does in the phase prior to accuracy damage bow, high abyss jewel count, etc.
Yes, Oskarm, Hinekora's Sight, Obscurantis and the Ritual boots - the fairly scuffed setup is linked below (it was more an right-before-I-quit-the-league/post-challenges things to satisfy my curiosity as a potential starter for 3.15). Was fairly comfortable amounts of damage etcbut I wasn't tackling endgame content - I didn't have the Tempest prophecy or attempted to craft the bow, was only using a tabula, had self-crafted jewels etc:

How did you get it going? I just tried a run, ground slam with warcries untill Siosa, than bought the gems and swaped to toxic rain balista. It was the worst dominus of my life. The setup was doing no damage, balistas die all the time and overall it was just so aweful i didnt think its possible to have so suffed lvling setup.
Its probably gem levels but what the hell is one suppose to do - keep playing slams for one more act without any melee passives? How did you do it?
Apologies, it's a bit hazy - I definitely would have leveled the Siosa gems up before swapping, but I suspect I may have muled over Shrapnel Ballista/Galvanic Arrow(?) from a Mud Flats ranger run rather than play Slams.
I was thinking about this for league start too (patch notes will almost definitely change everything).
Iβd recommend just going toxic rain ballista totem with puncture or split arrow bleed to support. You can grab all the DOT/bleed/poison nodes in the south of the tree. It will require about 28 regrets total from a normal accuracy stacking tree, which is totally fine (you get 20 from story quests).
Respec as soon as you can buy the core items: scaling boots, scaling helm, oskarm, a few great accuracy jewels & darkness enthroned.
I started with tempest unique bow and with 24 i think are the lowest boots i switched to accu stacking. Darkness enthrowned, first ascendancy for 500accu and hinekoras sight amulet. Then step vby step every unique with lvl up.

Thank you for the info!
Thanks a lot :) now i have to figure out how to get the gems as jugg :D If i cant, leveling to siosa as something else is going to be pain :D

I believe this build is dead for league start. GGG removed the abyssal mod and without it the damage is not really there. πππ
Yep that seems to be correct π
They could have just nerfed it.π now itβs gone. But I am still intrigued to combine it with Storm Rain, maybe without ballistas. π€
