I was about to give you the tipp with the covenant or this ugly chopper mask, but i see, it seems like you knwo what you doing.

My explosiv arrow (for multi target, in the robe) shocks, becasue i use added lighningdmg support gem. Wrath aure didnt get added to the explosion, but added ligningdmg gets added, and due the explosion isnt weapon dmg, it gets full added to the explosion.

After the patch, maybe i must rework my char a bit. But first ill try the onslaught leagues, so it will take some month bevore ill update my EA tamplar to the newest patch.

Since I find the damage of this build overkill, do you think it would be viable not to shock at all and focus on being more tanky? This is what I have in mind:

Edit: What do you think about that trick that allows you to attack once with your Explosive arrow and then use Reduced Mana+Faster attacks+Level 1 gem on the rest of the attacks. The explosion that goes off will be based on the first arrow, so especially for a build that spends a lot of its health just shooting the arrows, this could be helpful if the gems could be fit in somehow.

The build I posted above that doesn't have shock could replace fire trap and wrath with Faster attacks and a Lvl 1 gem.

Edit2: What I also had in mind tis that I'd shoot the regular AoE arrow, and then just shoot GMP arrows until I reach 5 stacks on the target of the regular AoE arrow. I could achieve better AoE damage if ignite doesn't proc, this way. Edit3: Actually, fuck that, it would mess with my EE.

The trick two arrow trick thing do not work for my character, becasue i have already all skills below permanently used. There is simply no space for that. And also, its not comfortable, my build lacks of survivability, there is no time to watch mana, place an arrow, swithc skills, look again on mana and so on. To play this char, you must stay focused on evading projektiels, stay focused on youre lifebar and so on. If there it comes to the point where you have a blink of a second to fire an arrow, and get stunned by out of mana, you will be shortly confused, what can causes a death. Mana isnt an option, if you whant to archief that killspeed.
If you whant to be 30% slower, and constantly annoyed by mana issues, go for mana. I posted i link in the video section to a manabased build.

Hi Exiles.
I just fire some massEA (the 6 linked in the armor) at one of them (stick them into same target if possible), than i use the splitshoot(to trigger Elemetal Equilibrium) until they are death. 90% of the monsters die insant out of one arrow(yes, one, not a 5 stack) on the explosion, the rest of them die in the next second. So at most time, fire an arrow, use split shoot, screen death, repeat

In your build the description Elemental Equilibrium.Bow Quill Rain have 4-11 physical damage.Armor Cloak of Flame have constant 20% of Physical damage taken as Fire Damage.Constant fire damage - constant + 25% resistance fire elements.Why to use these armor Cloak of Flame?

"20% of physical dmg TAKEN(!!!!!!!) as fire dmg"

If a monster deals you physical dmg, you will take 20 % of that as fire dmg.... you not deal 20% of youre physical dmg as fire dmg, thats a complete other cathegory -.-

Hey IsodorRodosi,

I have been making decent progress with my modified more tanking version of your build and essentially I have discovered something by accident. This build is actually capable of being played and farming WITHOUT blood magic. In fact, I have been doing this with just a 3-Link bow while trying to farm to get enough fusings. I am using fire penetration, chance to ignite and explosive arrow. Essentially, you use a process of what I would describe as "herding". What you do is you run around the zone casting enduring cry and trying to get as many as 40-50 mobs to chase you at once. I like to use life flasks with bonuses to armor and evasion. Once you get enough mobs tightly packed, you fire 4-5 arrows in the center of the pack (no resolute technique needed). While you are running you have time to look at your mana bar and decide whether you need to pop a flask or not. Essentially by going through the entire zone clearing more than 2-3 mobs per arrow, mana is just fine. That is to say if you have to. I probably would not want to do this as a permanent strategy. Well its tough to say just yet. But it is doable if you have to and are really short on currency.

In fact, one of the most fun things about this type of strategy is when you get a straggler to survive. Eventually, because most of the mobs (exploding arrow is all I use so far) don't get hit by lightning (wrath + ring damage) before the explosion, don't have lower resistance before the explosion and occasionally get hit less by the explosion due to RNG, one of them may survive. It's so fun when you see just one mob on fire, just to fire the quill rain default attack on it and watch how much faster it burns to death. Essentially it is on fire with resistance and elemental equilibrium is just about to reset. You fire the default attack (with wrath and lightning from rings), the resistance flips to lightning and vulnerable to fire, and see how much faster it burns to death (sometimes a yellow mob with quite a bit of life left) with vulnerability maybe a shock stack or two with just a 1-4 physical dmg hit from a default attack and resisted lightning.

It's like saying, yeah I could kill you if I decided to waste an explosive arrow on you, but instead, I think I'll kill you just by sneezing once.
