[2.3] Explosive Arrow Build - Uber viable - 100 hc/sc proof - Scion, Witch, Duelist, Mara versions

i Picked Scion (Berserker/Raider) and and it seems pretty nice to play :)
i also planning to take this build as next Season starter except anythings gets nerfed dramatically.

no kaoms, only 4 linked single Target DPS - still cleaning T8 - T10 with ease. only the bossfights get a bit nasty but i think with kaoms and a 5 or 6 link quill this problem should be gone :)
Clearspeed is awesome btw

How does lvl 3 empower compare to 20/20 slower proj?

i would want to know this too :)

and i have another question:
does the rearguard corruption (adds one arrow) also rise the single Target DPS or does only one arrow hit a single monster?

btw:
my first ever self 6-link (i am so proud :) )

tried about 80 fusings got nothing - tried another day, after about 10 fusings "Achievment unlocked - Well connected" YESSSSSSS :D
i Only switch GMP to Slower Proj for single Target - or is there a better possibility?

Lvl 20 slower projectiles is 29% more (disregarding the 10% "increased" from quality, which would be in the ~2% "more" ballpark depending on the grand total of "increased" your character has).
Lvl 3 empower (+2) is almost exactly 25% more, lvl 4 empower (+3) is almost exactly 40% more. (This is true for both lvl 20 and lvl 21 explosive arrow.)

You can't shotgun with any skill since many patches ago. Only one projectile will ever hit.
You still can "splash" or overlap the AOEs if they are placed near enough together, like in a doorway or inbetween pillars (or, if your AOE is large enough, you can even place yourself between a wall and a boss, shoot all the arrows packed tightly into one spot on the wall and have them all hit the boss who's attacking you from behind. Dying Sun OP).

edit: In case the important message got lost in my ramblings: Yes, having +1 arrow helps even with single target, provided you can make use of it and hit with all 6 instead of 5 (or hit with 3 instead of 2 etc, basically having denser aoe overlap).
