[S]Explosive Arrow Marauder by Slaydemkidz (lvl 96 HC) - For EXPERIENCED Players! (1.2.0)!

Meh I seem to have hit a wall again. So I hit 78 and starting mapping in parties, but my DPS felt subpar so I tried mapping solo, and indeed, my DPS was very subpar. On average, it took be about 20 minutes to clear a 66 map. In order to build currency, I then tried to farm Piety, but found that I could not even get through Lunaris 3 in less than 7 minutes, let alone be able to fight Piety effectively.
My gems: 5Link: Q14 L17 EA, L17 Conc Effect, L17 Elemental Proliferation, L17 Fire Penetration, L17 Chance to Ignite 3L: L15 Lightning Warp, L14 Reduced Duration, L14 Faster Casting 3L: L1 CWDT + L5 Enduring Cry + L7 Molten Shell Curse: L17 Flammability My passive tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBAdwCcQSzBS0SaRLhFxwZLho4G_odFCXfJ-0o-imlLdI1kjbpOthBh0GqR35KfU3YTeNOKlBQVElYY1nzW69fP2BLYSFlTWaeZ6Bqk25pcXlyqXTteA1673zZgW-Cx4TZhO-HdojxjHaMz49GkFWYrZ2unjykGaZXpwinhKluq8WsWayqtfK2Qbc-uJO53b6KvqfAD8AaxtjPZdDQ0k3Uj9Xt3Q3fv-Lq42rnUudj6-7sOO8O8932SPcy-Ov56PrS_MX-Cv6P My gear:

" Honestly I don't know what to say, I was doing solo piety runs and level 63 and didn't really have any problems, using a 4 link with no quality gems at all.... Maybe pick up some +% fire dmg on your accessories? Keep your curses up? Make sure EE is procing through your split arrow? Add frenzy into your rotation to add 3x frenzy charges? I cant really see what could be causing you to do low dmg, EA is usually overkill. |

Would 5.2k hp, 4.3k armor, 77 all rez, -52% Chaos be too little tankiness?

" Crazy low armor, how do you survive..... Posted this in another thread figured id put it here aswell, was testing my armor ratings might be a little overkill

Here is my defense page at different armor ratings
3 endurance charges up:  3 Endurance Charges + Molten Shell  3 Endurance Charges + Molten Shell + Jade flask  3 Endurance Charges + Molten Shell + Jade flask + Granite  Last edited by Gryphyn#2650 on Dec 13, 2013, 6:47:25 PM

What pieces of gear do you think I should upgrade in order to get more armor?

" Post your gear? Although usually upgrading your chest is your best bet. |

your gear looks fine to me. Stack 5 arrows --> curse --> procc EE and spam split arrow
Maybe go for Berserking after the 18% life node to stack faster Last edited by Xantaria#3019 on Dec 14, 2013, 4:51:07 AM

" Looking at your gear I see no elemental damage - perhaps i missed it at first glance. If this is the case you are not proccing any equilibrium for a start. Now that aside --- I have also tried this build today and totally agree. The damage is absolutely subpar. I really dont understand how people are using this. I pop 5 EA //curse// Split arrow. Repeat - usually a number of times as the damage is totally lackluster. Compared to my spectral ranger which would literally one shot a pack with doublestrike and splash. In conclusion I am either really missing something or simply the build is overrated and being bumped by others who simply have not experimented with alternatives. Id like to give the experienced crowd the benefit of the doubt but I cant as result of all video clips also looking -- honestly - lackluster. Can someone point me toa video of someone utiliising this build with the so called GREAT DPS that everyone is claiming. I did check out WIlly Wonka vid and saw him pummeling away at a little pack that i literally one shot on my ranger. Help me understand what i am missing here. |

I have cold damage on , which is how I am proccing EE.
I am not quite sure about my actual damage since as mentioned before, the burn damage seems very variable due to differing amounts of Fire Penetration applied on a target. Sometimes, I think I may not get the Split Arrow off in time after casting Flammability and have to wait a bit for the ignite to tick off before stacking again. However, other times the burn wrecks the mobs and I can run straight past them. I think overall, I do not have enough levels or quality on my gems for my build to be effective yet, which I am working on. Compared to several of my guildmates who run different builds (EK/CoC, ST/DS), my DPS does feel lower, but I feel that I am much less vulnerable to reflect and can survive. In fact, the ST/DS guildie RIPed to a reflect rare with 33K dps. |
