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

Accuracy is a strange thing with EA. For bosses, a high level of accuracy is definitely helpful, but not as much for general clearing. When you miss with EA, the projectile continues traveling until another mob or a wall. EA can't 'miss' against a wall. Even against bosses, Frost Wall ensures that accuracy is never that big of a deal.

Devoto's Devotion is a great option if you need to fill in Dex requirements.

Reflect being a thing, Champion and Elementalist definitely stand out as great options. It is even an option to take out GMP as an Elementalist and rely on prolif. I don't know how well it will work, but definitely something to test.

Leveling is pretty open. Generally you don't want to switch to EA until you're ~38 (for Inc. AoE and Blood Magic). An example for Maurauder would be Fire Trap, Flame Totem, and then Firestorm until you get through Inc. AoE.

I'm most likely going to roll a scion then go for berzerk and raider. Pretty standard in 2.2 for sion

You guys still think this is perfectly viable?

It seems there is no decent life leech down those paths, berserk is now life leech if you have killed recently.. so no good for bosses. i suppose you might be able to sustain hard boss fights with regen and flasks alone, so maybe. you might wanna take a look at the new berserk maurader ascendency

woow i didnt read that carefully enough, thanks for that

ya i guess marauder would be better for the leech. too bad ranger couldn't work..i would think Ele equilibrium and ele overload are vital so ranger isnt possible

edit: on second thought, wouldn't jus using life leech fix the probelm, could still go sion and just choose different node then berzerker, such as slayer..which looks crazy af too...2x golem and 40% more fire dmg just for using fire golem??

If i want to go berserker without vaal pact, should i still take Cloaked in Savagery,

or take Rite of Ruin instead?

Hows the build going for you chaps? anyone gone maurader berserker?

playing this as beserker atm. damage is good, survivability is not so great, but thats because im only lvl 77 and i dondt have anything good. 5,5k life, 500 life reg. still missing merciless and endgame lab. t5 maps are no problem, havent got anything higher then that.

i try to get a kaoms and blood dance, but i have only found like 5 chaos and nothing to trade, so im really low on currencys. after i got that stuff, everything should be better

went sion with slayer/raider and use life leech gem

works nice. lvl 84 just poolin some 7-8 maps then gonna run later...using tabula till kaoms and at least 5 link quill since i have to use LL gem


edit: kaoms super expensive lol and wtf is up with not being able to shoot walls ne more

just hold shift to shoot the walls till they fix it

I'm a marauder berserker, l61. Picked up a blood dance, working through a3m. Feels very strong, even with shit gear other than the boots (still have a blue chest).
