Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)
|
You take dex on the tree as necessary. The build does go by a lot of 30 dex nodes. I take them when I need them, and spec out of them when I have gear that provides enough dex for me.

With the explosion of the new Cast on Damage Taken set-up that everyone is running I decided it would be very useful to pick up the Endurance charge nodes. Also with this change I decided that with the huge power from the new auras it would most likely be more beneficial to run the Blood Magic gem in our abilities so that we could run 2 auras on our mana, so that freed up a lot of points to spend elsewhere. I had some trouble spending points after about 85 points so I think this build could possibly be improved but I am fairly satisfied with the build as it is right now and I think these changes would be a huge improvement on the build as a whole.

Hello there,
i was wondering if you can help me with a similar build, i have a scion (same concept, all in life, quin rain EA+chance to ignite + ep) i am lvl 24, and my problem is that i do almost NO damage at the moment, and it takes almost forever to kill 1 mob (comparing to 1-23lvl with dual axes where i clear maps in minutes) Do i just need to run around with this gem and lvl it up, it scales better later? should i just run with axes for now until certain lvl of the gems??? let me know... PLEASE |

Very nice build OP!
I tried the same concept a while back in open beta based on burning arrow & “Blackgleam”. Unfortunately it never worked out for me because my fire damage was lacking. I couldn't find a good physical bow (I play solo self-found only) and didn't want to spend my currency on my existing bow/chest so I was stuck with 4L as well. EA is obviously the better way to go and I want to try again. I have one issue with your build though, magic find. IIR & IIQ sadly still do not work with DoT. Since I am looking for a farming build with high clear speed burning damage is not going to work for me. I need to kill the mobs via explosion. I would also like to have some more armor/evasion even if this means sacrificing some life (your build has a ton of life but I will feel more comfortable by trading some for more armor/evasion). I have tried to come up with an EA build that fits my taste and I would really appreciate feedback! Concept:
Spoiler
- use EA + LMP/GMP + ConcEffect + IncAoE+ FirePen + LifeLeech - use RangedAttackTotem + SplitArrow + Chain + addCold (Blind/Chance2Flee/Knockback if the Totem inherits cold damage form gear) to proc EE - use ShockNova to instantly shock stack mobs. With quality gems and Static Blows a 40-60% shock chance is realistic. EleProlif will help to instantly triple stack everything. ShockNova + EleProlif + Conc Effect + Inc AoE/addLight. This does an average of 580/670 lightning dmg (without considering EE debuff, curses and possible inc ele/spell dmg) which is enough to shock mobs up to 52k/61k life. - use "Raise of the Phoenix" in the weapon swap slot to raise fire resistance cap after applying the EA charges. Together with Elemental Adaption and a Ruby Flask reflect should be easy (95% fire res). There is always the safe option to not shock and therefore reduce reflect damage considerably. - use “Carcass Jack” to boost AoE. - for defense my build offers 2 options: 1) spec into “Iron Reflexes” & “Unwavering Stance”. The “Cloth and Chain” and “Leather and Steal” clusters give good phy dmg reduction which can be further boosted by MoltenShell and Granite Flasks. 2) ignore “Iron Reflexes” & “Unwavering Stance”. “Cloth and Chain” and “Leather and Steal” clusters give good evasion and boost armor from MoltenShell and Granite Flasks for phy dmg reduction. Evasion will further reduce damage taken from reflect (although I have to admit that I’m not sure if this works since the explosions are not the result of a direct attack). - the unique boots “Blood Dance” give an additional 4-5% life regen and compensate the loss of LoH by not using LA to proc EE. We still have 4S/4S or 4S/6S items at our disposal as well as 2x 3S in our alternate weapon slots - CastOnDmgTaken + MoltenShell+EnduringCry+IncAoE - EA + Chance2Ignite + IncBurn+ ConcEffect +FirePen + LifeLeech (for act bosses when no adds are around) - IncAoE + Enfeeble + TempChains - IncAoE + Conductivity + EleWeakness Passive Tree:

Bandit rewards:
Spoiler
- normal: life - cruel: skill point - merci: Endurance or Frenzy charge (dmg reduction or more life regen) Gameplay:
Spoiler
1) Curse if necessary. - Offensive: Conductivity to improve chance to shock or EleWeakness to boost damage. - Defensive: TempChains (armor as defense) or Enfeeble (evasion as defense) 2) apply EA charges (cold damage on gear does proc EE for ShockNova) 3) (optional) drop RATotem. This will keep procing EE for ShockNova and EA. Further it will improve survivability by presenting an additional target and debuffing mobs (Blind/Chance2Flee, Knockback) 4) ShockNova to shock stack. Skip this step when dealing with reflect. 5) (optional) if necessary switch to alternate weapon set shortly before the EA charges explode. Rise of the Phoenix will considerably boost fire resistance in case of unexpected reflect. Build Comparison (imho):
Spoiler
+ IIR + IIQ can be used + more armor/evasion + more life regen (Blood Dance) - the necessary timed weapon swaps make this build clearly more complicated to play. - less life - sacrifice of damage nodes (shock stacks should compensate) - increased risk vs reflect (offscreen, miss weapon swap + Ruby Flask) - slightly more gear dependent (no fire & lightning on gear) - slightly more passive points needed - no auras edited to compare towards the skill tree you have posted earlier today Last edited by fae76#3960 on Oct 31, 2013, 2:36:27 PM

Hey guys used this build before 1.0 , but I seem to be having trouble right now. Not sure why, but not hitting rares very hard at all. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Gear: Is there any issue with my split arrow gem combination? Or maybe something is wrong with my explosive arrow set up? Any advice would be great. Here is my build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAnEEsxJpFE0XHBkuGYUaOBpsJIskqiftKPopLilPNZI26TrYOuE8LT0PPfw_J0GHQapKyE3YTeNQUFRJVcZYY18_bqpxeXKpfLh8u3zZffWBb4LHgziMdozPj0aQVZitna6ePKIAplenCKeErKq18rc-ud3E9sauxtjPZdDQ1I_a3d-_42rkIudS7DjvDu988B_yL_JF83Hz3fZI9zL46_no_gr-jw== Please help. Thanks :) |

You don't seem to have a curse. Try using Flammability or Elemental Weakness. Also, I would replace Life Leech with Life Gain on Hit on your Split Arrow.
