R.I.P. [2.6] Explosive Arrow - Elementalist Build Guide (multi class + version, in depth theory)

yeah i definitely will be doing the leagues and starting a new char with 3.0. would like to experience the new content with a new char.

my issue is that i get attached to characters so i'm hoping i can find another build I enjoy as much as this one. I've tried 4-5 other builds and they weren't close to this one as far as my enjoyment.

still, thanks for writing it up and all the testing you've done on it. I got to level 94 in Legacy with this char, and just beat the Minotaur last night. i still feel like I want to progress with this one but doubtful that will come about now.

Maybe i'll try some kind of poison build.

94 is a very decent level. Grats. There's a lot of things you can try. I hope you find something for you. As for the attachment I know what you mean. You'll get used to it.
This is a link for Path of building for marauder non crit EA: https://pastebin.com/dVD2PbKS

If anyone looks at it I'd be interested to hear thoughts.
I sent this to Greengroove directly, but here are the PoB links if anyone is curious. One is a needed equipment change to meet dex requirements while the second is a slightly optimized pathing.

I also improved my tree slightly and came up with this. Now I don't make any claims... This is only theory. I may test it in standard.

Here's a quick test of mana leech with MOM: https://youtu.be/hGGKVjqJrVs

For mapping the build is far from dead. It still clears super fast. boss damage is really shit tho.

Yes EA is definitely not dead. This specific build is bad tho. You need to build it differently now. The focus is on the explosion instead of the burn. A friend of mine is doing a nice scion EA build. Hint: Skin of the loyal + MOM...

The Berserker might be quite badass! I'm playing something else tho.

It's been fun while it lasted. This build is dead in 3.0

Ea is still strong but different... This is my new EA thread:
