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

Zerphy's sounds like an awesome idea, but you'd have to run EA off mana and have some balancing act so the flask doesn't stop effect when reaching full mana.
I'm sure someone will find a way to get it to work.

For me, I'm leaning towards scion Berserker/Elementalist or Berserker/Raider.
I think Elemental Overload can be sustained just fine with high attack speed, chance of your arrows critting and the chance of the explosion critting. Just grab Precision and Versatility from the tree, flat accuracy on a piece of jewelry and you're good to go!

Ascendancy hype is real!

I wonder if Dyadian Dawn could cancel out the added fire damage from Chieftain.



Wow. I hadn't thought about Dyadian Dawn canceling out the added fire damage from Chieftain. If that works, that would be a tremendous buff to Chieftain. 30% Fire damage and 1.5% regen on the little nodes,ignite chance, endurance charge generation and life regen per endurance charge, 10% ele pen, and LIFE LEECH. And you could keep EE. Now that's juicy.

Still not sold on Elemental Overload, especially for Champion. It's annoying to get to, and costs even more when you consider the required investment for accuracy. Maybe with good accuracy gear it would be worth using.

I just checked with Ming's Heart, assuming it is the same mechanic, this does not work. I deal no physical damage but still deal chaos gained from what phys damage I would deal.
Looking forward to this build!

Scion (Zerker\Raider) - 110 Pt SC (%Life for all Level 90+ points):

And I just saw this Death's Harp Assasin build:

Curious if this build will still be 'top notch' in the new league. Inquisitor with crit 'something' looks really strong.

Bugger, It looks like i'll be sticking with Champion. Thanks for the testing though.

Below are two ideas, one more recently discussed and the other a bit of a different direction. I'm trying to target as close to 90 as possible.

The Duelist (Champion) ultra tank poeurl.com/xfn I know you show the single target Voll, but I'm still afraid of this taking forever on bosses.

The all out damage build (Crit Inquisitor, only 180% life) poeurl.com/xe6 If we replace the fire pen gem with increased critical strikes and no other crit gear we should get around 30% crit chance on the explosion. 1/3 of all shots ignoring all resistance could be huge for bosses and resist mobs/maps.

I wonder if Dyadian Dawn could cancel out the added fire damage from Chieftain.

Also for Scion Elementalist Ascendancy, would your EE be affected by a fire golem? Or since Elemental Overload and the importance of accuracy and critting just enough does ice golem become better overall?


Thanks for the praise :-)


Dont think dyadian dawn will make it work.
If u wanna see a boss, tell me which one. Uploading a video of the T11 Academy boss as i write this


Crit EA sadly is to clunky, dont think its worth it.
With overload a amount of ~ 5-10% would make sense but wouldnt get more, but that needs testing.

Summons are independent as far as i know so the fire golem wont proq the EE. Icegolem is a nice idea.



Regarding all those passive tree's, I'll be posting tree's tomorrow or on thursday bcause i got my hands full currently :-(


EDIT: Video's up, made it shorter via the youtube editor but that will take some time to process. U can see pretty well when the ignite ticks with EE on and when it is with EE "off"
EA vs the T11 Academy boss with single target gems

I'm curious what your talent tree looks like.

Perhaps:

I confirmed the golems do not proc EE so fire golem is still an option, though with EO and ice golem it could lessen the amount of accuracy on gear and tree investment.

I think a good dps check would be Wasteland Voll if that is possible. Thank you for the reply.
