Question, how to you get the Dex in lower lvls to even be able to equip EA and other dex gems? According to the scion tree, you only add 20 dex. Only from items?

Or you can get +30 dex node from tree, always good option at leveling, later just respec.

Hey, was wondering what's the point in using chance to ignite?

Isn't igniting enemies bad for us because of elemental equilibrium? Even if those 2 don't collide I still don't see the point behind using it, would like to hear your reasoning if possible

Guys for anyone with spare currency that openly despises reflect I may have found a good way to protect from it.

Essence Worm + Purity of Fire lvl21

There, with this you will have purity with lvl 23 the threshold for having more 1% maximum fire resistance, making it an additional 5% max fire res. In total you will have a insane fire res , 81% to be exact with the node in the tree , 82% maybe if you have an insane Kaom's like the op.

Rejoice!

When does this build really start to take shape? Is it as soon as you equip EA and go EE around level 50? Or is it not until you can equip the gear at around level 70?

I love the videos in the guide but if it only starts to take shape from level 70ishi might need to reconsider.

Im playing this in perandus HC my leveling method was:
1-28 mix of firestorm and bladevortex

28-38 EA with elemental focus and lesser multiple projectiles (on quill rain already, i was heading to BloodMagic on the skill tree)

38-55 new links -> EA+GMP+AOE+Fire pen (i specc into EE here, because i had good gloves)

55-60 added less duration as fifth link

Starts a little bit clunky but as you gain EA levels (important boost of damage) and u add important links like AOE and fire penetration, everything goes smoothly.
Spec into EE if you know that exactly piece of gear will be kept for a while.
If your gear sucks rush the marauder zone for diamond skin and those 12% res nodes.

My tree when i first spec into EA
https://gyazo.com/1dfb69ecaf7091c3550e342c5bdd4bc2

i leveled with rain of arrows and any phys / ele bow i could find, blackgleam quiver and a bunch of flat fire damage from cheap uniques like bloodboil, lioneye's paws, the ignomon.
also herald of ash, anger, added fire damage.
the damage nodes are exactly the same: projectile, aoe and fire.

didnt pick bloodmagic until 50~55. this is where i went quill rain and EA (i think the reason i waited that long were gmp + inc aoe and most importantly: the 2L RoA setup didnt fall off until then)

cant stress enough to level EA asap tho, even tho you wont use it right away.

This is what you want before going EA:

Next up I went with this:

Notes:
Templar part first, level with firestorm.
After getting blood magic you use stone golem \ enduring cry \ pots for health regen.
