Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

How much hp are you actually gunning? removing the templar tree cuts 31% elemental damage..

Can Explosive Arrow cause ignite dmg to a target befoe the stack explodes? If so it wont be a lot of burn?

It will cause an ignite before the burn if you run fire damage on gear.

As for losing the templar damage, I didn't find it necessary, I have enough damage without it. Losing it means I get more hp and more armor.

When you say you have enough damage, you mean in the context or solo-ing maps and pretty much one shotting packs with 5 stacks?

What is your opinion on speccing into inner force if you plan to party?

I can solo maps and one shot packs with 5 stacks.

I consider inner force one of the strongest nodes in the game, so it is definitely a decent choice.

I'd like to make a request for a youtube video :D. Also, you only have a 75% burn chance. Doesn't this mean if you 5-stack and don't get the burn proc (25% chance), you won't be able to take out a mob all at once and be forced to 5-stack again.

Edit: Oh never mind, I get it. When explosive arrow explodes it most likely will hit more than one enemy, making it pretty much guaranteed to set at least on of them on fire.

Thanks for the great build, almost level 40 with it! Saw this in the ranger forum and thought people might like the read Trenan's "The Best" Explosive Arrow Build(No Quill Rain)

Actually, this explains nothing. What he's saying about attack speed and why it's not as good for Explosive Arrow is completely wrong.

Care to elaborate on why its wrong?
