This page is about the game mechanic. For support gem, see Ballista Totem Support.

Ballista totems is a type of totem. It was known as Ranged attack totems or RAT. Ballista totem skills are sub-type of totem skills. So far all gems that related to ballista totem have totem and projectile gem tags. Except Focused Ballista Support, all gems also have bow gem tag. All 3 ballista totem active skill gems are attack skills.

Some passive skills exclusively affect only ballista totems. The great majority of passive skills that affect totems also affect ballista totems.
