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

Thanks a bunch Green :)

is this a good set up for 2nd quill (single target) ?

Explosive arrow > Fire penetration > Lesser > Culling > Elemental focus

OP, thx for the guide. It is a bit confusing because you present right away so many options/alternatives.

btw, do i need accuracy?

I would not use Elemental focus unless a map has a mod that prevents ignites. I would always have El. Focus in my inventory tho. Accuracy is not that important. Sure, the more the better but if u have 79% it good enough.

For single target:

EA - fire pen - chance to ignite - conc effect - and lastly Empower or if you can't you can use slower projectiles.

This is for single target! And you should really try to get +1 arro on the quiver. That's quite important.

Hi, me again! Would you level 3 empower or slower proj? I am going to try for some of the bosses and on the ones you can't ignite what would be the best setup? Is there an obviousl colour setup that allows easy swapping for non ignitable bosses?

The only swap is chance to ignite to elemental overload. and conc effect if you're not using that already. Empower lvl 3 instead of less duration. Empower is better than slower proj.

Some of the bosses are tough. The T16's are no joke. Although they in fact can be done I didn't bother with Phoenix personally.

Hi again, TY so much for responding about GS setup, but I'v got another questions :3 Is it okay (In terms of damage) to use Less Duration in both AOE (instead of Slower Proj.) and Single target (instead of Chance to Ignite) setups? I mean I feel myself really uncomforable playing without it D:

I have 1 opal ring, and I want to switch another for opal too, but I cant get enough resistances from them. So, if I understand correctly, should I drop rearguard and winds of change to gain additional armour hp and res? I really afraid to drop rearguard, because it provides block and armour :(

If you use GS yeah you can drop Winds of change and Rearguard can be dropped regardless. You can get about 30% inc damage with the opal ring. And you get life! Block is not that reliable and the armour is not going to help all that much against the biggest hits unless you really focus on stacking a lot of armour. A higher life base is good to have, and since we have a lot of % life from tree you can gain a lot of life on quiver.

You don't want to use Less duration for single target. That being said, use it if you want but you'll do less damage. Use it for map clearing tho.

Same goes for everything... If you don't plan to do T16 and all that, then all discussed above doesn't really matter.

What other quiver would work? I ripped :( got distracted and walked into bearer explosion meh.

Time to rebuild, but having a hard time finding items to make sure i'll cap resists with rearguards.

In red maps with ele weakness you actually need 170 to all rez... I don't think this league is a good one to play hc. I have never died so much as I do in this league.

But anyways you can see an example of what I used for a rare Quiver in this thread.
All you need is Life and as much resists as you can. Nothing else.

Thanks, yeah it's pretty rippy, i died like 3 times at the start on breaches so i usually skip them from cruel till merc when i got the build going.

Trying to think of other stuff to play but ea was starting to be pretty fun at lvl 90+.
