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

@Healzr Ty for answer bro :) Im gonna stick with firestorm and totem for a while I think, still works very well when lvling.

Guys I have one more question regarding the gemming of the bow, I currently roll with a 4L and it will take some time untill I get enought currency to roll further. I am going with:

EA - GMP - Fire pen - Slower projectiles. Should I switch out the slower projectiles to a Less duration gem, or just keep going?

Both are pretty good while leveling... I used Slower Projectiles initially but then switched to Less Duration and I found it more powerful because the clear speed is faster.

Do you have 2x EA setups? 1 for Mobs and 1 for single target? Your setup is ok for mobs/trash, however I'd recommend setting up a second setup for single target (you'll need it end game anyway and you want to start leveling your gems immediately).

With 2x 4 links I'd go:
Mobs: EA - GMP - Fire Pen - Increased AOE or Less Duration
Single - EA - Fire Pen - Less Duration - Slower Proj or Concentrated Effect

I'd recommend sticking with another fire skill until level 55 or so and then switching to EA (but make sure you are already leveling your EA gems.

Until 55, level up with another fire skill. I used Incinerate... but flame totem or fire storm or even rain of arrows works well.

Top post.

@Brunowa Ty for opinions man!

Why is lvl 55 so clutch?

Heya Peyter, I was thinking of maybe making a mana based berserker build. What would you see about the following tree:

https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAEAAMbYWGO_CPhfPfwkN1_QjM8hkPZI6hBfP8EEFCB_43lo7w4x-6luUEfAGnfjeA1vOwHctfKE2TWSxLhHfv6P2L3V-L02TeP-CmVNplfyRbc-vqc64UGHiFp1y_noXsDqYhg8gse9Jyj6GFaYrbiTHNzr7o8amuCFMqcIMtFFnZ2u2CRFR1NSGmwDdTbFVkjAZjbpkSsfAgSzPAUkqlh3BAeiAJ_f73wWb18Eg9vr5Eyz8B-aO-NqVcZfKtAfl5Vo8oKbOljv61JTfEvsOKyYPV-X9JZ0OtiFe_FsbRknL2ZUNtgI9JBVSRvAVBo4Ko286mpD7FVybGxGMgkAAA==

This should net a minimum of 2k, 2.5k mana with some mana on gear. Reserve only clarity leaves 2k manapool to feed MoM. We can use Lavangia's pots for free Explosive Arrows plus Berserker 2% mana leech plus a massive mana regeneration for clarity.

Also benefit from 40% more berserker damage, 40% more Elemental Overload damage. Possibly need to use that ungil's amulet for +100% crit chance.

It's faster leveling... EA doesn't become too effective until it levels up a bit... it scales really well.

Can I just say this gem rocks :)

Build is complete.

I have Atziri on farm mode... easy deathless runs. This is when I consider all my builds complete.

I've loved this build... definitely one of my favourites.

My stats and gear for those interested in how to farm Atziri:

Stats:
Level: 85
HP: 8k
Armour: 4.8k (15k with flasks... but to be honest I rarely use them)
Evasion: 1.7k
Ascendancy: Beserker + Elementist

Gear:






Passive Tree:

Notes:
Note that the above is Atziri runs. When I'm mapping I swap out Slower Projectiles for GMP and Concentrated Effect for Increased AOE or this bad boy:


I manually cast Fire Golem which gives me an increased 30% fire damage (because of Elementist ascendancy).

Frenzy is up (4 charges) pretty much at all times. I manually shoot this just before shooting mobs with EA. It becomes habit so you're always at 100% frenzy charges.

If I was to get a 6L I would go:
Trash: EA - GMP - Fire Pen - Less Duration - Increased AOE - Chance to Ignite
Single: EA - Fire Pen - Less Duration - Slower Projectiles - Concentrated Effect - Change to Ignite (unless against Atziri because she can't be ignited)

If I was to keep on leveling I would just pick up more life nodes and maybe some armour ones and a jewel or two.

It would be cool to get the right enchants but they're just bonuses you really don't need... they will make you OP though :)

I might test out the Elemental Overload and Vaal Pact versions just so I can give my 2 cents.

Awesome stuff!

@brunowa
Nice post. I personaly found that frenzy charges in EA build are overrated a lot, we allready have great AS from Quill rain and our dmg comes from EA explosions.
So i deciced to go Berserker+Elementalist, too.
My question is: In merciles what you picked for bandits reward? Ok only obvious choises there are +1 frenzy charges(a bit sceptic to be honest) or +passive point?

On 38 level I was swap Fire Totem to EA+Fire Pen+Inc AoE+Greater Mult Projectiles but i have really big problem with mana, how can I reduces some costs?
