Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

Hello guys.
Pastromy made very interesting build and i checked it as soon as i made this item yesterday

But in order to use it i need to lvl another marauder(i have five HC characters already and its kinda boring to lvl up new again)
So i am thinking to selling it or trade for another bow.

This. So much this. The throw chroms at my Quill Rain until I get what I want was infuriating.

I came to the conclusion that I dont use my Split Arrow + Chain + Blind Totem very often. It is nice, but in a hectic battle Im often too busy to cast my Cry, Curses and Spam EA + Culling or LoH spell.

But I dont want to miss the huge benefit blind gives. So I re-aranged and combined the blind and the LoH, by removing LA + LMP + Chain + LoH to Split Arrow + Chain + LoH + Blind, to get the perfect defensive life-saving combo:


Now I have - again - an empty 4L helmet :D what to do with it now?

Haha just had some fun in PvP. If they don't have a dispel burning potion they almost always die in 1 burn. So funny. I wish more people did pvp so I could have more challenge. I imagine that this build will be completely OP when they release some sort of polished multiplayer pvp.

Hah just tried it as well. PVP is actually pure FUN imo! Yeah my build's not perfect for it, but the maps, the mortal combat style system. I really liked a fun match vs a friend :) you guys should give it a try.

btw, any ideas regarding my 4L-problem?

No idea. Maybe lightning warp to get over cliffs? Or enfeeble for when you run into a tough pack. Frost wall to piss people off. Level 20 bear trap for fire resistant enemies. All I can think of.

I had some some PvPing vs Kripp today. The biggest problem was how OP temp chains was in PvP. It made it really hard to get a 5 stack. If he stood still and I could curse with flammability then I 1 shot him. But if he actually tried he would just freeze me to death before I could get 3 stacks off. I think next time I PvP him I will have my currently 54% projectile speed quill rain up to 100%. I also will use the EA bug showcased here:

With one 4 link I will have GMP + LMP + faster attacks + EA. This combo looks amazing when your fire it. pew pew pew.
I will use my 6L quill rain to get just 1 arrow off, then use my 4 link to 5 stack it.

If you guys have a 5L quill rain, replace ele prolif with conc effect for PvP.

Dual curse ring + temp chains is also very important. I will have to do some testing. Maybe I will be able to use ele weakness + flammability instead of flammability + temp chains. Minues resist is very important - dual curse is the difference between a 1 shot and a hit for 10% of his hp.

I think if I can 5 stack Kripp in less than a second, I will not need temp chains, and then I could easily 1 shot him with elemental weakness + flammability.

Next time he PvPs I will be prepared. And hopefully win.

weapon swap is quite slow
I'd assume that cursing resistance won't make them go below their cap, especially if you can play with penetration.
vulnerability works great with temp chain if you stun people, just need a lvl 20 poison arrow to see if it's viable to add it.

my bad, I assumed it worked with weapon swap, nvm then

No weapon swap needed if you see the thread I referenced. There is a bug with EA where only the first EA hit determines the damage of the 5 stack. So I just hit him once with my 6L EA then use my 4L EA with GMP + LMP + Faster attacks in my helm. With this he will not be able to run if I try to shoot him from far away. I still don't think that solves all my problems. I still need a 17% fire damage neck to bring my dps another 5k. And I also need to find a way not to get permafrozen.

As for cursing bringing them below cap, I may be able to use fire pen + ele weakness + flammability + elemental equilibrium. That is -185% fire resistance. Sure, some people might have a shit ton of resist, but it most cases that will lower them a lot.

EDIT: WOW I tested out GMP + LMP + Faster attacks + EA for pvp and it rapes. You just have to hit them with 1 of the level 20 arrow then just spam the level 1 EA with GMP. You can kill almost anyone before they get close. It literally turns EA from bad in PvP to good in PvP.

Also I was having trouble with some melee and then I remembered blind. Didn't do any damage to me after. Also divined up my quill rain to 95% second try.
