POEGuy's Siege Ballista Hierophant Pantheon, Ascendancies & Bandits (Poe Keepers of the Flame)
If you need in-depth explanations for the Ascendancy, Bandits, and Pantheon, click HERE
[IMPORTANT]: In Patch 3.27 – Keepers of the Flame – they introduced special Bloodline Ascendancy classes. We’ll be using one of them: Farrul.
To unlock it, you’ll need to buy the Farric Tiger Alpha beast and use it in the Menagerie. After you defeat Farrul, an altar will appear that allows you to select this Ascendancy.
You’ll still need to complete the 4th Labyrinth to earn the Ascendancy points, though.
Ascendancy
The build revolves around the Hierophant ascendancy class.
The order in which we pick the ascendency nodes is:
1) Pursuit of Faith
2) Ritual of Awakening
3) Conviction of Power
4) Huntleader (From the Farrul ascendancy)
“Pursuit of Faith” and “Ritual of Awakening” are very powerful ascendancy nodes and should be allocated as early as possible.
In this Patch we will drop “Divine Guidance” and pick instead “Huntleader” from the special Farrul bloodline ascendancy class. Huntleader will summon Spectral Tigers each time our Frenzy skill scores a critical hit. These Spectral Tigers can grant us up to 125% increased Critical Strike Chance and 35% increased Attack Speed, which is extremely powerful for our build.


Bandits
Kill all the bandits.- Killing all the bandits will grant you an extra Skill Point.
Pantheon
Remember to fully unlock your Pantheon with
Divine Vessel!
Major Pantheon: Soul of Lunaris

Minor Pantheon: Soul of Shakari
