Supports any bow or wand attack skill, causing it to summon a ballista totem that uses the skill for you.

Skill functions and interactions

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

This gem will work with both Power Siphon and Frenzy if the player has a ranged weapon equipped. Totems use the player's own skills as though the player had cast them, and therefore skills cast by totems are affected by Charges on the player. Totems themselves have a maximum Power Charge and Frenzy Charge limit of zero, because those charges would have no effect.

See totem for more information.

Skills supported by this gem can be additionally supported by Multiple Totems Support.

Item acquisition

Ballista Totem Support can drop anywhere. Drop level: 8.
