Is there a limit to how many times I can stack EA on a target?

Should I only be stacking EA 5 times?

'cause it doesn't seem to do more damage when I spend 30~ seconds spamming it on something

Yes EA has a max stack of 5.

I have not been playing PoE much so im just wondering how do you equp a bow on this build? Since you almost got only str stats?
Light Quiver doubled rolled gives you about 60+ Dex alone.
Amulet/Rings for other +dex
Was wondering if dual ranged attack totems would fit EA well it would eliminate problems like dying to reflect and having two of them can stack stuff really fast

I've never tried EA on a ranged attack totem. My thoughts would be that it would continuously fire the arrow at a single target and never let the charges detonate. I'm interested to see if the AI constantly changes target.

I am starting this build im currently lvl 40. And i have a few questions?
I am using a Goldrim Battered Cap, ( for resists ) with Fire penetration, LMP, Explosive Arrow, and Chance to Ignite. Also, on my Quill Rain, i got LA, Chain, and LoH.

I havent got EE yet, but is this pretty much how it works?
Spam Exp Arrow, curse with flamability, and i spam some LA in there to get HP back(and maaaaaybe add a shock in there if im lucky)?

This is where my build is at as of now.

I am also using BlackGleam Cured Quiver, and Locktonial Caress Iron Gauntlets. ( i got super speeds)


I would love to see a video of your build doing maps, or docks, or something endgamish...
I'm also wondering how well this does compared to a lightning arrow build.

So far its fun, but i am kind of questioning it. =/

Pastromy or Carpola, please upload a video and your build carp. =) thanks in advance

Here's a thought for the Elemental Equilibrium debuff setup:

Split arrow, chain or fork, life on hit, chance to flee/knock back/blind, faster attacks if a 5l. (Cold and lightning damage from equipment)

The idea being, if you are going to use this to gain life, might as well take advantage of your crazy high hit rate by throwing in something with a chance to proc. Chance to flee might work well, going by the wiki it's possible that spamming this attack could root them in place as they are constantly going from fleeing to attacking. Sucks that it doesn't affect rares and unique though. Blind might work if you are running enough evasion, but that is a bit more niche. Knockback could be great though. Assuming you could get it to proc enough, you could conceivably keep an entire blue pack at bay between explosions.

I went into this build with a lot of the same questions.


I am currently level 56 in HC and am farming ledge in Merciless with a breeze. Super easy and fun build.

Judging by your gem selection, you are actually following the Witch build listed under kbtanh in the witch forums.

I've tested both and I've found this style of play much better. Skipping out on the LMP with EA I feel is much safer. The high ignite chance + fire dmg + EP is insane and it doesn't take much to bring down a pack.

I'll see how far this build takes me. I am hoping to get to end-game maps and not kill myself from reflect... I do think that skipping the LMP will be a huge help in avoinding that.
well, doesn't LMP(10 more total fuses) = more dps/clearing speed?

Im on scrubcore(softcore/default) but still... who likes to die?
