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

Does Fortify reduce ele reflect taken from explosions?
I'm doing champion and plan on going double opan with -10% reflect dmg each. If fortify works that should keep me safe for general mapping and for parties perma flask uptime should be enough. (I'm comparing to my EA pathinder I ripped with EW which is more or less on par with fortify if it works). Any experience using this kind of setup? (I'm @82% res with flask)

Did you mean Opal? Where do you get -10% reflect from?


From Wiki:
Fortify is a buff that grants the player 20% reduced damage taken from hits.

Modifiers to damage taken, such as Fortify and Arctic Armour, also lessen reflected damage taken.

On my Champion lvl 95 the Essence worm was enough. If u want extra safety take a Ruby. A grand Spectrum set up may be problematic.

If u have any other questions the other thread would be better to use.

There's an Essence that has that modifier. It's certainly an interesting option... For Champion, you'll end up with 46% Reduced Reflected Damaged taken.

If you did that as an Elementalist, you end up with 70% Reduced Elemental Damage taken. The only problem is GETTING the rings. Personally, I feel Reflect isn't a problem as an Elementalist, even the map mod, if you play carefully and use a Life Leech gem (and no Conc Effect for packs by accident).

It's even possible to get 100% reduced and take no damage with 1 Ring + 1 Quiver with that, and the unique ring: .
End up with 50+10+10+30 = 100%.
Obviously situational, but will allow you to do -max res, Elemental Reflect maps. I'd consider taking off Elemental Equilibrium for that if you can spare a Regret... If you got full-on Grand Spectrum, it might be a good idea to make some.

There are many options. The best option is to not do elemental reflect maps. Otherwise reflect is not really a problem with any of the classes.

If you absolutely have to use the Sibyl's lament (no reason to) then you NEED to drop elemental equilibrium. Getting those rings will be very hard. I would not recommend on trying since you don't need em in the 1st place. The essence of Anger on the other hand can get you some nice damage.

Btw the discussion about Champion has been "moved" to the champion's thread:

Another thing worth noting is that Berserker can actually do ele reflect maps with almost no downside. Some game play here:

How's the ignite damage compared to like. Vortex trap like mathils?

I can't compare my damage to theirs as I don't really know their build. I can say that it's very good and I can do any content in the game. Last time I one shot the Vaal construct in the Conservatory map for example.

I will attempt the Guardians once I get my 2nd 6 link because I like comfort. I am sure I could already do it now.
My gear is top notch tho. I use 11 Grand Spectrum jewels.



If you are not sure you can challenge me to pvp. ;)

Hi, i'm lvl 82 atm and this is my gear. What do you think? What should i upgrade or change? :D

Guyz, i dont understand, WIKI says proj dmg do not apply to explosion dmg, but you all take it from tree and gear.

I'm wrong: "The charges deal secondary area projectile fire damage."
