No. You only NEED a 4L, but obviously having a 5L or 6L doesn't hurt.

I made a marauder to try this build today, im lvl 26 right now. I also have a lvl 86 ground slam marauder. I don't see hoe EA can be better than ground slam...im clearing packs at an ok speed but yellow/blue mobs take forever and with BM i'm killing myself running out of HP because of the quill rain. I picked a hammer with ground slam gem and im clearing much much faster... am I doing something wrong ?

my build

my gears


Btw there seems to be a bug with my item's link, the quil rain is 4L and my gloves are 3L.

Any help would be appreciated, i'd really like to make this work.

let those ea gems level up some. If your clearing faster with ground slam then use that. I think I didn't switch till about 40ish or so. I made sure I had plenty of hp to use the BM node. Also, try just using a three link and see if your survivability increases any.
The build doesn't get strong until you have both the burn damage nodes and EE from the passive tree. It also isn't very good early game without twinked hp gear (since EA is very expensive you will have trouble getting enough life regen to sustain it early game).
It's been brought up multiple times in this thread. EA is not a very effective leveling build until level 45-55 depending on gear. Biggest things when you switch:

1- make sure that your explosive arrow gem is at it max possible level (very important)
2- you have enough HP to sustain your blood magic node
3- you have a 4 link bbrg
Hey I'm not sure if the follwing things do affect Explosive Arrow (if yes - does they affect the initial hit or the explosion damage?):
*Flat fire damage on the bow
*Flat fire damage on armor/jewelry
*Fire damage added by the anger aura
*'Increased Fire Damage' on gear
*'Increased Fire Damage' from passive nodes

Also I'm not quite sure about the fire penetration support gem. It will only work for the explosion, not for the burning damage. Wouldn't 'Increased Burning Damage' be a higher priority?
