" For this build Ngamahu tiki is superior. Especially a good rolled one. Greengroove's Loot Filter Scripts: poeurl.com/OMs

"I don't think it's that good. I liked it on another build with leech and berserker, but I doubt it's worth it for EA. Greengroove's Loot Filter Scripts: poeurl.com/OMs

I know this build will not be as effective when 3.0 hits due to ignite changes, but I still want to use it until then. You keep mentioning that you only need 10% - 15% crit, yet I can not see anything on your character's gear or tree that would even raise the crit chance up from the attack's base 5% and the explosion's base 6%. How are you getting 10%-15% crit chance? Also, is it 10%-15% crit chance for the attack or the explosion part of Explosive Arrow?

" There's only a few days left. I think in 3.0 this build will die. I tried it out in beta and is like really bad. :( Honestly I don't remember where you get crit chance up. It depends on gear. Jewels,... Don't worry about crit. You only need it to proc Elemental overload. Look at the attack base mostly. Since we attack so fast we don't need much crit chance at all. If you enable your character tab I can have a look. After looking at my character I indeed only had 5% crit chance with grand spectrum jewels. I used to have more with rare ones.

I made my characters accessible. It does kind of suck that this build will die in 3.0 since I used all my exalted and half of my chaos orbs just to get a quill rain + devotto's, but I am sure I will still find a use for these items (especially devotto's). I guess the main problem is changing it from an ignite build to a full crit / damage build for quick pack clearing, but that means way lower boss killing power :(. The only quill I could get was corrupted. Is it okay if I use empower / life leech instead of slower projectile? I know that a level 4 empower is stronger than a max slower projectile, but that will take a while to get the currency to buy one.

" Well with legacy Grand spectrums it could still be ok. Obviously not as good as now but in 3.0 Grand spectrum are somewhat nerfed. All the items can be used at some point if you play Standard. However I much more prefer to only play challenge leagues. The thing is that projectile damage is no longer going to work with EA. Less double dipping. And making an EA crit build is no easy task. EA has a very low 6% base crit chance. Scaling the crit (explosion part) is hard as it is not a normal hit. I don't recommend using life leech. Get empower level 3. TAKE ELEMENTAL EQUILIBRIUM. And learn how it works. That's a lot of damage in 1 node. And use GMP instead of LMP. Meta changes often in this game. And GGG is known to hit skills hard from time to time. EDIT: The most important thing for this build is the EA gem level. It's extremely important to use the highest gem level as possible!

" My old ring had fire damage on attack, but I just got a new ring to change it to a different elemental damage. I am just waiting for the level up for EE. I know that the projectile damage will not affect the ignite anymore, but will it also not affect the explosion part? If so, that is super rough for EA.
