Explosive Arrow Marauder (Updated for Release)

Haha I actually didn't know EE could be overwritten. I thought it was locked in for 5s. Good to know.

wich one counts of ee?
wish i diddnt exalted the ring, i found one and thought ah letz just yolo it and hope for chaos res :D

ended up giving me fire dmg :(
using split arrow
am i force to use la now?
also

would be tamings ring any good? the prismatic unique ring?
lookd kinda nice to me, not sure how relevant the extra stats are that ur loosing.

also i wonder if u could -pass out the attackspeed/minus projectile nodes and still grab the life nodes in the bottom right the 18%
+ the armor nodes

i want to know if the really worth it to take EE.
why i ask?
because if i hit 1 target with EE that target does -50 fire res and burn, so far all good, but what about other targets that didn't got hit with cold/lightning? the now have +25% fire res from the burning of the elem profile. is that how it works? if so, that not worth it (1 enemy - 50%, all others + 25%)

also as other guy asked, if i hit 1 target with -100 fire res, how the burn effect other mob with different fire res?

if i do my ea build like this,with 2 curses,cause i play almost always solo,and i wanne run the fire curse ofcourse,but enfeeble 2,to lower the incoming hits,or is that a total waste of the points and are you "tanky" enough to take some hits in a map etc

the build i made =

You use Split Arrow + Chain to hit a ton of targets with lightning/cold damage, so basically everything should have reduced fire resistance.

The total burn damage is calculated off of the initial hit of the explosion. The burn damage is proliferated from this. It then makes a check vs fire resistance to calculate overall damage.

My question is what about an enemy that not hit by split arrow before and than get hit by ignite? Will he get more fire res?
And also, fire penetration works only on the only target right?

It will have more fire res, yes, but you can use split arrow after to reduce their fire resist. And since mobs will take damage from the largest burn affecting them, you should still do maximum damage.

Fire Pen works on the initial explosion damage.

Hello all!!

I posted a few questions a few days back and got them all answered so THANKS for that! :) big thumbs up! Now the build is working out like it should (ffs i can't die? lol its awesome)

The only cons i have atm is low armor/phys reduction value but i havent grabbed armor nodes yet as hp is more powerful at lower level (im lvl 46) and i could use some more damage. But all i have to grab that will up my dmg is projectile dmg% and that's about it. :)

I just hope my dps will up itself by me leveling up and leveling my EA gem + adding a few nodes:) otherwise it's fricken awesome!

Thanks for this build! :)

can anyone post his high level gear with that build? what else do i use apart from Explosive Arrow, Chance to Ignite, Elemental Proliferation, and Fire Penetration ?


also what about the grace question? are you using grace with BM? lol?

If you are playing nemisis, make sure you have a "seething hallowed flask of staunching". I was solo farming lunaris, got hit by a vultnerability wipper, and very quickly died when my split arrow stacked corrupted blood. It was 100% to 0% in ~1s and all I had time to do was use my seething once, but it didn't have staunching so it didn't matter.


For people just starting the new leagues, focus on attack speed and quality EA/increased burn damage. Being able to quickly ignite enemies is crucial for farming zones like lunaris. You can easily kill the enemies before they kill you, so you can farm even if you are weak defensively.
