OK I will push my lvling to 75 / Dried Lake Merc (and lot pf leagustones :) )

5-link OK, but whatever it is (chest or bow) ? (just craft the colors I guess)
Also, I already had some, but did not equip as stats were meeh. Looks it is better to go 5-link, better dps, than base stats ?

Sure EA is not best fit for SSF, but wanted to get it a try - just did not know need to push to 75 before getting it efficient
Anyway, I am having tons of fun shooting 2 arrows to pack, and look 15 trash blow away :D

Chek how the base damage scales with level here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Explosive_Arrow

The gem at level 20 will do 2x the damage it does now. And its only 5 levels of difference.

Chest 5 link. You will need it. Try to get life > resists, but first make sure the colors are right. Try to use an armour or armour evasion base if that is possible. Can try essence crafting too. I mean you could even just farm for a tabula... That would probably be the best... Don't waste much on the 5 link.

Remember the best defense is a good offense. You are safe if you kill everything before it get to u. :) If sustaining life on 6 link is a problem you can use life leech gem.

As for lvl I didn't mean exactly 75. you can even level till 80 if you want to. Choose the zones you want to farm that drop cards that may be useful to you. I already linked them to you.

Finally managed my gear:



and for my off hand:



also I have now:



Now im looking forward to improve even more :D

Enchant the boots. Since you are using G. spectrums, you could drop winds of change. But you can keep them if you wish... since you already fixed all the resist stuff. Other than that I think divine the chest if you really want and bless the one ring for that 1% damage increase. :p

Other than that it's just kill stuff and lvl up.

Good job!

What gloves should I use? Maybe those:

Well the implicit is just wasted... maybe you could try to balance your resists so that they have all the same value, for the Wise oak flask boost. Accuracy and attack speed of course and as much life as possible and other stats.

These were my gloves. I got them super cheap:

Of course you can keep winds too... I mean, Winds have movement speed reduction. The damage roll is quite good tho.

You could try to drop Beacon if you feel you have enough damage... Get Mastermind of discord for better boss kills. But the prolif gem does drop the damage output in clearing. On the + side prolif area is bigger.

Other option, you could TRY get rrggbb colors on the trash clearing bow, instead of slower proj get conc effect. Now I do mean this is something to try. I can't really say if it's going to work. I assume it would be ok if you prolif. Now with this blue gem you can use AOE gem or prolif also.

Note: Pendulum of destruction is not reliable.

I guess that the damage should be enough for clearing trash isn't it?
Maybe I will try this and see how it goes.

Try it out. It should be fine.

All you need is 5 regrets perr ascendancy point. you don't need to do lab. In fact lab has nothing to do with the respec.

Oh, sorry i'm retarded.
Just mixed up switching ascendency and respec some ascendency points.
SO I should switch slower projectile with prolif?
I guess I will do that when I have leveled the prolif and another CONC/AOE gem.
Maybe I will buy them if they are not that expensive.

Could you tell me if it is worth to vaal all other gems to lvl 21 expect EA?
