R.I.P. [2.6] Explosive Arrow - Elementalist Build Guide (multi class + version, in depth theory)
" That is a very theoretical BIS when you have to spam that essence until you get a +3. (like Silverbough) ;) Perception is reality.

" You can master craft the +1 but it's not extremely cheap. However doable. |

According to the program 'Path of Building', with frenzy charges, curses, most flask effects, vs
AS Explosion damage: 43k Ignite: 137k I'm going to assume this is per arrow. Tree: https://goo.gl/m1gVm3 Enchants are expensive, you can get more damage from just rolling your own opal ring or buying better jewels. I also found it difficult to get jewelery with high accuracy and high stats so I just went for a hinekoras and made up for the fire damage on my ring's and other gear. Currently at 179/177/157 resists. One thing I don't get from the recent posts is how much people are struggling later on. While it's not a S+ tier build that mindlessly face-rolls everything, it can still do every tier and every boss and it's extremely powerful. You just really need to go hard with the double dipping scaling and sources of ignite/fire penetration and you should do plenty of damage. Despite that, here is what I went with to fit my playstyle/gear finding methods. Hopefully it might be of use to someone. Also I'm an independent elementalist who don't need no dying sun. Seriously it's not worth the money. Last edited by MrZorx#4483 on Apr 13, 2017, 10:14:54 PM

" Its not particularly expensive though try and get 2 pre 2 suf then craft cant roll attack mods and exalt.
Spoiler
U need to hit it with 2 prefix and 2 suffix.
Example : +2 fire gems (prefix) Adds x-xx to elemental dmg (prefix) + % fire res (suffix) + mana gained kill (suffix) for a 6l bow its pretty reasonable. |

" Your gear looks good, Even the sapping flask is cool. The only think I feel is that you may have "overvalued" accuracy. Yes accuracy is great, but not really needed for map clearing since the arrow that miss the target would still hit something. For bosses I feel like with the amount of arrows that we put out at least some are bound to hit the target. Note that the Ngamahu not only gives a lot of double dip damage, but also life. But if it works for you than that's awesome. " That's it yeah! :) Thanks for posting. Of course this should be done on a 6 link bow. You can then even remove the master craft mod, add prefix can not be changed scour and Elreon multi mod it if you really want. IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET A TRUSTED MASTER CRAFTER TO DO THIS AS IT IS NOT CHEAP AND MISTAKES ARE EXPENSIVE. Last edited by Greengroove#7929 on Apr 14, 2017, 5:29:30 AM

" Thinking about it now, that makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a go. |

I have 80c, i and want to try this character, should i buy a kaom's and a 5 link quill rain? it's worth it? or it's better to kaom's only when i have a 6-linked quill rain(if someday i have one lul)?

" A 5 link is ok to start with. If you are not sure if you are going to like EA my suggestion is to just use a Tabula rasa. You need nothing else. You should be able to do T12 maps with just that. But make sure that you use as high EA gem as possible as that is the biggest source of damage. Also make sure you understand how EE works, cause if you mess EE you will actually deal a lot less damage. gl Last edited by Greengroove#7929 on Apr 14, 2017, 9:30:17 AM

Then, should i go for tabula rasa and a 5 linked quill rain(ea single target)? or just the tabula rasa is enough? i actually have a quill rain, but it's not 5 linked.

" Just Tabula is ok for start. of course you can not level with EA. See the leveling guide for reference. Then if you like the build look into Kaoms and 6 links. Although 5 link is ok too. |
