I ran a TR Ballista totem Champion last league, and it was by far my most successful build. It ran no crit or poison, just solid chaos DoT. After reviewing the changes I see TR being a concept that survived a lot better than most builds, though with less effectiveness of Fortify and buffed poison I thought trying deadeye and utilizing both Gr Volley and GMP to overcome my otherwise nerfed supports, take more poison nodes, and focus on getting insane stacks out.

The mirage archer node on Deadeye essentially acts as totems.. and if I can keep Galeforce up, it should replace that fortify bonus.

I am concerned with defense overall, as Adrenaline is an amazing node on Champion, plus its inherent armor/evasion boosts. I can use the newer Defiance banner to get some of that back, and hope that my familiarity with the play style will help me also.

I'm by no means an expert build-crafter, so I thought it would be worth reaching out to get feedback on how the idea is actually terrible, or other ideas to consider as I go forward.

I figure that worst case scenario, I still have a ranger and can retool to another good bow build.
