Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

^Idk you could get a max thicket with 1.79 attacks per sec, but I still don't see how well that would work. Personally I could never go down to a bow thats almost half the speed of quill rain. Think about how long it would take to 5 stack a mob with fuses. IMO I just don't see the adavantage especially since EA never is low on damage and doesn't require more +skills. Just my thoughts tho.
Empower is probably one of the stronger gems for EA, the rate it goes up by is roughly 12% base damage per arrow..... its really adds up after 5 levels.

((Level : Damage : 5 stack avg))
L-20 : 523-785 : 3,270
L-21 : 586–879 : 3,663
L-22 : 656–984 : 4,100
L-23 : 734–1100 : 4,585
L-24 : 822-1232 : 5,135
L-25 : 920-1380 : 5,750

At level 25 EA is "almost" double the base damage of level 20. It would more then double when you include all of the support gems gaining +1 as well.

Good luck finding a 6-link +3 gems thicket with 24% increased attack speed. 3-4 for sale at the moment throughout all leagues, none of which have attack speed.

PS: Don't shoot more then 3 arrows at a time since ele' reflect would rape your face. Got to love EA mechanics, it's the only skill that requires only 4 passives to deal obscene damage.

At level 25 EA is "almost" double the base damage of level 20. It would more then double when you include all of the support gems gaining +2 as well.

A +3 bow and a level 3 Empower would give you a level 26 EA gem because the bow has +1 to all gems and +2 to Bow gems which buffs Empower to level 4, which then gives +3 to your other gems.

Wow.... so yeah.... great point I didn't even think of that.

L-26 : 1,030-1,546 : 6,440

Not even fair at that point.

Damned gem takes forever to level holy shit

After reading around, empower only affects "active skill gems" meaning the supports are unaffected. Still, with a level 26 EA combined with level 21 supports would kick ass.

Hey sorry about this morning geoxide I had to run to work. Few things I see:

1- It will require level 89, (nice work if you're that level)
2- You missed resolute technique, replace the single ar/ev node by the duelist area with it.
3- Grab elemental adaptation, the +2% all res is a must have imo. Prolly have to ditch a 6% hp node.
I want to maximize burning damage and fire damage.

I forget about RT, sry. Elemental Adaptation really worth to take ? There are only 2% resistances.

Something like this:

I change one 8% evasion for RT. This build is for 90 lvl.
Im currently building an EA mara on OS, one thing I didnt read in the wiki: Whats the max count of fuses you can stack on an enemy?
I have 5 in my head but I don´t know.
5
