Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

I run with Scion as my EA and found this build

I wonder what build would come out on top compared to the marauder build? Both classes can use the same build.

That's similar to my build, and I see some changes I would do to mine taking from the one you found.

Here is mine:

So, I hit 80 today and have started farming Piety. No other character I have played in the past survived well against her (maybe because I mostly have played witches) and with only 86 IIR in Domination League, I farmed her off and on today.

Here is the gear on my Scion:


And here is a quick video I did today of 3 of my runs.

Here are my stats:
Health: 4364
Armour: 3504
Fire resist: 65%
Cold resist: 75%
Lightning resist: 75%
Chaos Resist: -33%
174 Intelligence
154 Dexterity
337 Strength

Well to be honest i dont like much your build . Extra projectile physical damage kinda useless when you gear up quilrain which is mendatory for this build since its the fastest Bow.

I made this one for end end game :

or this one if you have like 5-6 link for bm gem to run auras


Running build like first one i share in nemesis right now. Reached to level 50 so far so good ill post again when go for maps

Both % fire damage and projectile damage nodes increase the explosion and the burn. It gives a huge increase in dps, but makes you much more vulnerable to reflect.

How do you survive anything with that low of armor!

Maybe it's just me and my obsession with high armor and regen...

I suppose as EA you don't need to facetank and can kite a lot more. Granted it is annoying not being able to yolo rush.

At some point along the lines you WILL need to face tank something. A giant health pool only goes so far, armor or physical dmg reduction is a must have for survival.

Was mapping last night with some friends and one of them was running determination (I run grace) and I was sitting around 29,000 armor before endurance charges and molten shell....

determination + grace = 76% reduction
determination + grace + molten shell = 79% reduction
determination + grace + molten shell +3 charges = 91% reduction (1% over cap)

I run a custom EA build; however, having high reduction is awesome.

I'm thinking of dropping molten shell and adding 1 more endurance charge, only time will tell. Might allow me to run immortal call.

I was actually wondering about that. Right now I'm running 1 CWDT+7 Molten Shell+5 Enduring Cry with 6 max charges. Do you think the Immortal Call would be worth it?

This is so true. Blew myself up again in a 68 map where I don't look at the rare mob standing in the middle of a huge pack of other mobs. I hit the leading mob with flammability, five EA's and split arrow for EE and BOOM I'm dead.
