[1.3.1] MF Explosive arrow (EB VP EE)

Disclaimer: This build is a my MF variation of Muir's Explosive arrow build found at


http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1083181

Pros and cons
Spoiler

+Good clear speed even in high level maps
+Can solo up to lvl 78 maps
+Can stack a decent amount of MF without cutting your clear speed

-requires a bit of currency to start up
-Get rekt by physical damage (especially devourer)
-Reflect will kill you if you're not paying attention
-Immune to curse and fire res maps will slow you down
-Atziri is immune to the majority of your damage


Offense
Spoiler

This build use Explosive arrow with dual curse + Elemental Equilibrium and proliferated burn.

Fire and elemental damage double dips on burning damage as they affect both the explosion and the burn damage.

I use Ice shot linked with curse on hit, Elemental weakness and Flammability.

Enemy will have their fire resist significantly reduce (50% from EE and at least 30% for each curse) Bosses have curse resistance so they'll be a bit harder to kill.

Most enemy will go down with one Explosive arrow + Ice shot combo

Resulute technique allows you to not get accuracy on gear and prevents you from crit reflecting yourself to death.

Alternatively you can use Rain of arrow + flat elemental damage on your gear to trigger EE and curse your enemies instead of ice shot.




Defence
Spoiler

Our defense come from Arctic armor and Mind over matter

Arctic armor reduce the physical and fire damage taken by a flat amount it greatly helps when dealing with reflect mob as it negates almost all reflect damage if you didn't put to many stacks on the mob

Mind over matter give us more effective HP based on our mana

Both layer of defense requires high mana and mana regeneration to function and explosive arrow requires high amount of mana regen so we will be taking the Eldritch battery keystone to convert all our energy shield to mana for a huge mana and mana regen boost to fuel them.

Vaal pact is taken to further handle reflect and general life regen



Itemization

Skill link

Spoiler

Clarity - reduced mana + any purity you need to cap your resist

Ice shot - Curse on hit - Ele weakness - Flammability

Arctic armor + Empower+Enhance if you can afford them

Blink arrow for mobility.


My gear
Spoiler


I try to put most MF as I can in my gear.Find other pieces of gear before you put on Andvarius

Quill rain is super fast and cheap and you can further corrupt it to gain +1 Arrow implicit mods

I personally never tried +3 bows but I found that most enemy dies from only 1 stack of Explosive arrow anyway.

Ignore most of the corruption on my gear. The important corruption is +1 Arrow on the quiver and Quill rain.

My tree take a few Mana and mana regeneration because my ring and amulet have no mana regen if you can find rings and amulets with mana regen you can drop them.
