Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

This build has great damage...


I'm a SC player with well over 4k Life and I've 1 shot myself to reflect about 4 or 5 times...Only lvl 68 so there's more to come:)


---Also, is it true that you can Weapon Swap to the new Unique staff before the Explosion triggers to get the %Increase AoE from whatever INT you have?(only about 5% for me)
I believe that you can, yes.
With the increase Burn damage nodes, would a searing bond be good to put on the other side of a tanky boss to get more DPS?

No, because it will proc EE, meaning your burn will be less effective.
Just want to say thanks to Pastromy for sharing his knowledge. I tried that build after looting a Quill Rain and i enjoyed every single second, minus first levels :D

Now i'm lvl 80 (SC...died a few times) and still enjoying it. To be honnest i died 291 times while farming docks to be perma lvl 64. Don't regret it, i farmed so many lvl 66 maps that i still have a pool of 23 lvl 66 maps while farming lvl 70 maps atm.

My lvl 80 build is http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAxthYY1BQjM_2SF8_VEnnUu8Oud3yL9SPGS4n7fPdrKpyqXzZ9zL460GqFHEOPDpS37-GYFYEYVJgiCi1704yCUCgBS1gS3rvdO0hYHTxnrkY20OcDq0ppVuvTiq2QWqT1e3AD90N_MVnoId2Sn1Z88AakFWnhBo47Dg62E3YjHaePIFvBLMUTQJx8B-iAIM473xmnvrSNukkquNqGYUabJ2upwgSaRcccXkdFJitj0bQ0M9lVcYWb9gkNsUfApwth2Wvt0kb

Still wondering what support attack to use, i find Split arrow to be good enough while i would run Ice shot if my rig could support it (not a bad one tho, this skill is really hungry when combined with GMP and Chain, graphicaly speaking).

Keep the good work and keep being a step forward.

Do you really need the int which goes to Fire Walker at the top? Otherwise you could spec into Arsonist on the bottom left which would even give you more dps.

While i curently need this int, you are right, with little help from stuff i could get rid off those int points and take the node you talk about. When i picked that way i was in need of fire res, now i could choose the other path. I could still pick the savant perk bottom right too, i would end with one bonus point and more damage. Thanks for this good advice.

i really feel LA + Loh + Chain + GMP and dont level LA at all (keep the multipliers from caling it to any expensive costs)

Reasons:
Triggers EE through the light damage so you dont have to stress with it on your gear
Even with a 70% modifier its the BEST LoH skill in the game when combined with these supports even in sewers-esc maps its ability to shard on impact / bounce from what seems like walls is insane.
I have like 8.5 K health and often one shot my entire health pool back...

I often host pug maps and never have issues tanking everything even with no leech attached to EA give this. Strongly recomend it to all EA users as since graphical overhaul it barely causes any issues ^^.

Note: Really liked iceshot as well but blatently unusuable due to its lagging atm
I had a bad feeling with LA, i'll try to give it another chance.
Ice shot + -mp + chain is theoretically the best setup due to 100% life-on-hit effectiveness and its ability to hit multiple enemies for each hit while also dropping ground ice. Whether it should be used or not depends on how much framerate issues bother you. With the above setup and 0.21 attacks per second, I can pretty much gain over 1k life a second off two or three enemies.
