• 1. Explosive Arrow Elementalist Update
• 2. Toxic Rain Pathfinder Update
• 3. Hexblast Mines Saboteur Update
• Conclusion

↖ 1. Explosive Arrow Elementalist Update

First up, the EA Ballista – the fiery dance of arrows just got juicier. No ignite nerfs, hurray! The big deal is the new quality for Explosive Arrow. Before, we told you to skip quality, but now? Get ready for a plus two maximum arrows party! 

With the right attack speed, this is a game-changer. Adjustments to the PoB for friendliness and a smoother feel. 21/20 gems might be pricier, so plan accordingly. RIP to enchants, but we're rolling with the punches. Check out the updated PoB linked down below for the deets!

↖ 2. Toxic Rain Pathfinder Update

Now, let's talk about the TR Ballista Pathfinder. This bad boy got a little buff. Quality now gives you extra base duration, translating to about 20% more boss damage. But wait, we gotta shuffle things around. Get that percentage area of effect on both gloves and amulet – two peas in a pod, you know? 

Say goodbye to the -7 Mana craft on the amulet, and say hello to Life Tap. Some FAQ gems like Empower or Damage on Full Life might be your new pals. Enchants took a hit, but hey, movement speed and Al quality gems still in the game.

↖ 3. Hexblast Mines Saboteur Update

Last but not least, the Hexblast Mines Saboteur. Time for some real talk – a teensy-weensy nerf landed on our doorstep. Quality of High-Impact Mine and Minefield is now all about damage, not throwing speed. We lost 20% mine throwing speed, but here's the deal – it's not a game-breaker. 

Don't sweat the day-one quality hustle; endgame was already spicy enough. Some folks swear by Trickster, but the difference is a cool 10%. It's your call. Adjustments to gems and boots enchant, but the Sabo spirit is still alive and well.

↖ Conclusion

Explosive Arrow and Toxic Rain got some love, while Hexblast Mines got a playful tap on the shoulder. If you vibed with Hexblast last league, the day-one feels are unchanged. Whether you follow my builds or go rogue, have a blast on league start, and may the loot gods be forever in your favor.
