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

what do you think is the best combi berserker + raider/elementalist/or slayer ?
I think it depends on how you plan on generating frenzy charges or if you even care about them..

Raider makes it easy and not reliant on blood dance, plus onslaught for ridiculous atk speed
Elementalist provides some nice elemental damage buffs and elemental dmg reduction but you'd need to use a frenzy gem
Slayer would probably want to use a life leech gem.. I don't really see a benefit to this one over the other 2, maybe someone else can elaborate on that.

Personally i run Berserker and raider.

Hi,

What do you think about using The Taming Prismatic Ring with this build?
Slayer give you 30% increased damage against uniques and rares and 15% increased attack and cast speed while leeching. As for the leeching itself, it can come free from Berserker. No need to use life leech gem. I think Raider is maybe overrated for this build.

For some reason I was looking at as if he meant going Duelist and then Slayer. I still don't think its better than Scion-Raider because onslaught should be up more often if not always and gives higher atk/cast speed and movement speed.

The only consideration for me is whether to go Raider or Elementalist. I would just set up Frenzy/GMP/CoH/Curse to keep charges up. I do like the Elementalist buffs from Scion Ascendancy. I considered going Witch Elementalist but getting damage/fire leech is not easy without using the gem.

Maybe interesting for some to watch, RaizQT made a video about EA.

I dont agree with alot of things in his build BUT its one way to play EA and i am sure alot of u will also ejoy his version.

His video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbLIzz-dNjg

Things i dont agree with that i saw on the first glance and why (most of which have already been discussed in this thread but ill roll them out again):

Not taking EE at all or soon. EE is and always was elementary to EA due to it being one of the highest damage increase we can get, in some cases even higher then elemental overload.

Taking VP. It ruins our regen while also making our leech clunky (only bursts of life) but grants us security against reflect in exchange. With the old reflect i would 100% agree because it would be unplayable without but with the current reflect we can just go ahead an ignore reflect, our life pool is way to high to die to it without making a huge mistake by ourself.

Not enough ppl talkin about it - cmon raiz :-o this thread got pretty big and alot of ppl went with it to 100.



Did some testing and you can for sure kill yourself to reflect with just a double curse support when offscreening (fortify, reflect ring and ruby flask on). One time you wont have a ruby up when offscreening and thats gonna be the end of your character. This will never happen with VP. But at the end of the day fortify in general is very nice. I prefer the faster version of scion vs the tankier duelist even thou i play hardcore because i feel like were already tanky enough in the scion version :)

I agree about EE being useful later, not so much early on :D
Thanks for posting the video. Never saw this thread before so yeah i guess thats where the "not enough ppl talkin about it" comment came from hehe.
Thanks again, gl

Loving the build so far!!

My equip:



Anyone has tried to use the new essence worm rings?? running PoF may be a good idea to diminish the fear of dying to off screen reflect. So far i'm doing good with a ruby flask of chemist but i had some close calls. Is hard to preparare for offscreen reflect :(

Also any thoughts on Celestial Punishment?? the ignite chance is nice, but i'm not sure if the 25% is worth it, considering that it would be only useful for bosses; any other mob we ignite is dead for sure.

Also i would love some advice on what piece to upgrade of my gear, so far i'm using one of the ring slots as a flexible slot to switch various things.
I have a couple questions with this build. Hopefully they have not been answered. I don't think there is a way to search certain threads. :(

1. How would this handle against single targets? Main damage is with GCP, so most arrows would miss right? I could see replacing it with another on bosses, but what about rare monsters?

2. What is the point of rain of arrows? I understand to kill enemies in the back, but it's not linked to any support gems, so would it even do any damage?

3. When would be a good time to switch over to Blood Magic? A 5 or 6 link EA would melt mana so I can imagine it would be scary to switch over.

EDIT: One more question, would it be necessary for EA to be at 20%?

Thank yall hope you are taking care and staying safe.

Is there a reason 55 is the magic level to swap to EA for leveling? Still running firestorm in my tabula and approaching 55ish.
