Siege Ballista

Siege Ballista is a bow attack skill. It summons a ballista totem that fires a powerful, piercing bolt after a build-up time. The bolts scale on the player's weapon damage. The totem suffers an attack speed penalty but deals increased base damage. Siege Ballista's range is 80 units.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Ballista: Siege Ballista is part of the ballista sub-class of totems. Ballista totems have inherent added totem limit. They have a much shorter summoning range, spawning much closer to the summoner.

Bow: Siege Ballista requires that a bow is equipped in order to be cast and has a Bow Gem tag.

Since Siege Ballista's attacks are also bow attacks, effects such as Point Blank and close range bonus apply. For the range-dependent effects, bonus damage is based on the target's distance from the totem making the attacks.

Attack: Siege Ballista fires ranged attacks that scale off of base attack damage, and thus scale directly off of the player's equipped bow and other attack stats. Siege Ballista fires at 50% of the attack speed of the equipped bow. Siege Ballista attacks can be evaded.

With the unique , one can summon 1 additional Siege Ballista Totem per 200 Dexterity.
