POEGuy's Explosive Arrow Ballista Ancestral Commander PoB & Gems (Poe Legacy of Phrecia Event)

Path of Building – Passive Skill Tree

You can find an optimized Path of Building for the league-start progression setup here. And a POB for maxing the build for the late endgame here: here

*Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building. You can find PoB’s Fork by LocalIdentity, here.
If you’re new to Path of Building, we have a guide available here.

Remember that inside, you have a league-start Skill Tree progression. Start with the one closest to your level and work your way up. The Skill Tree nodes need to be unlocked in the suggested order.

Gem Setups [ENDGAME]

The following gem setup is for the endgame. During the campaign, you will use a different, more simplified setup. Check the POB for the campaign gem setup progression

*To simplify things for new Path of Exile 1 players, I will name the item slots where you will socket the gems.
But remember that in PoE1, you can socket these gem setups into any item that has the correct number of linked sockets and the appropriate colors.

Remember to always level up your gems and apply quality, which can provide significant benefits. If you’re new to the game, pressing and holding down the ALT key on a gem, you can view and read its quality effects! You can apply quality by using Gemcutter's Prism.
