Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)
|
I am starting to think it is better to ditch Fire Penetration. I found out that it only works "on hit" so it doesn't work with the burn. I'm looking into using a +3 bow with empower/enhance.
EDIT: Also dual curse + cast on damage taken is completely imba for EA. I run a 4 link, cast on damage taken + molten shell + 2 curses. IGN: @Deltrus My build and gear: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/462131 Last edited by DeltruS#2041 on Nov 7, 2013, 5:47:50 PM

It works with the burn indirectly because the burn damage is based off of the damage of the initial hit.

"Burning still checks against an enemy's fire resistance in spite of not benefiting from Fire Penetration."
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Burn at the bottom of the page. I'm still trying to test it out if it updates burn damage if you curse after the burn starts. That should lead to more conclusive evidence. EDIT: Ok nvm I misunderstood what you said. My bad. Yes, it does buff the initial hit, but 35% more damage still isn't that great compared to other gems.

Decided to get drunk and record a catacombs run. Did these from level 62-78, scion, domination. Using a 4 link EA with no quality on any gems. Roughly 3 ex worth of gear and gems combined.

Hello everybody! :D
I aswell as countless others have been interested in using this build for one of my characters. I have got a few questions that i hope you guys can answer! I am currently lvl 31 on my EA-marauder. Using a 4-linked quill rain with EA-Chance to ignite-Elemental proliferation-Fire penetration. I can see the dps/function of this working out pretty damn great (so fun to clear packs, especially with the attack speed of Quill). The one problem i have, which i hope is due to low level since it is mentioned that in the beginning you will be very weak is that i am indeed VERY weak. I have followed the passive tree giving me 900 health at level 30 and being Blood Magic but i really cant use EA too many times without almost killing myself. Have i done something wrong? Will i become more sustained so that i can spam the skill more? Is the passive tree outdated? Please answer if you can help me out somehow (even if its just to tell me "Yep, weak now but keep at it and it'll get better") because i really like the idea behind this build! Thanks - |

" ill guess i answer u eventho iam not "op" ofc it will get alot better ur question might be answered by now but ill do it anyways in the end with 4-5k hp ur mana cost of 50-200 will just get outheald by cast on dmg taken"rejuv totem/devourer totem" + ur life regen/life on hit |

Bandits and such?

" What life gear do you have equiped? Do you have a leather belt with life on it? I think I had around twice as much life as you at your level. The damage is pretty meh before 50 but at 50 you can kill pretty fast. Make sure you are cursing, as that is pretty important before you get EE. Make sure you have the best flasks you can get so that you can react to damage spike and not die. IGN: @Deltrus

What are bandit rewards pls?
I guess life/attackspeed/skillpoint? Don't you take IR anymore? Phys dmg must be a bitch then...? Also what would be the priority of quality gems? Last edited by Affinity#3941 on Nov 8, 2013, 2:52:14 AM

Sorry if this has been asked but how do you run a 60% reserved Grace aura with BM?
Even with reduced mana gem that's still like 40% of your HP being reserved. |
