[HC 2.6] Witch explosive arrow NO GMP / Lvl 98 & 100 with Aeiko

Updated for Prophecy league and grand spectrum tree
Great guide dude, i'm gonna try this and leave you my feedback !

Regards.
Hi,

Dat Build is really strong, to be honest i haven't played my 91 LA Ranger since this monster EA Elementalist is up to map :D

Actually lvl 90 in PHC i enjoy playstyle so much, higher maps i ran were T13 and reflect Elemental wasn't really a pain if you know how to manage your Ruby Flask ;)

My Gear
Spoiler




Planning on Vaal a Rearguard to obtain +1 Arrow and be able to play without GMP and put an Empower lvl 3/4 instead.

Thanks a lot for your guide, pretty nice, i'll bump this for sure !

Regards.

thx man, if got any questions i'm here or ingame
hi how work elemental equilibruim?
"
Enemies you hit with Elemental Damage temporarily get +25% Resistances to those Elements and −50% Resistances to other Elements


Explosive arrow projectiles got two phases : the fuse itself deals attack dmg and it detonates into projectile/area/fire dmg. So you need some flat elemental dmg on your gear (light or cold). When you hit a mob with the fuses and elemental equilibrium in your tree (and a flat cold or light dmg on your gear) it will trigger and lower fire restice to -50%, then the fuses explode and proc EE again and raise the fire res to 25%. That's why for mobs who doesn't die to the first explosion (which is rare, so mostly bosses) you have rain of arrow setup with curse on hit to proc again EE + a curse (flammability).

You can see on my videos i'm using very often rain of arrow. Usually you fire a volley of explosive arrow then a volley of rain of arrow.

Hope you will understand, my english is not great ;)
I really love this build. Decided to Vaal my boots for the +1 frenzy charge and ended up getting two white sockets so now instead of rain of arrows I use frostwall + curse on hit + flammability, those together really help the single target damage by a lot

Edit: I take that back, the frostwall +ee makes it worse since most mobs try to move away from the frost wall. Would be OP without ee though.

thx mate, yeah frost wall not working well with EA. But never had the need to use is, end game bosses are melting anyway :)

Have fun mate and feel free to ask about the build ;)

When do you suggest no gmp? When you get a +1 arrow quiver??

Yes, you can switch no gmp when you have a corrupted rearguard ;)
