R.I.P. [2.6] Explosive Arrow - Elementalist Build Guide (multi class + version, in depth theory)

Honestly, you need shitty arm/ev 5link and quill rain to start this build.
At the time, you hit merc lake you should afford all of this + Wyrmsign(for pseudo 5l for single-targer setup). If you don't have enough hp to sustain mana cost you can use life leech gem

Last league i bought quill rain for 2c and chest for 7c, for example(at the first 12 hours of the league)

Yeah sure it is very doable. I also started the league with this build. My RNG was THE WORST. But I grinded till I got it all. :)
Also, how AoE rework would touch EA explosions?

I have no idea. BUT if you play with Elementalist you have free proliferation anyway. The prolif aoe was not that big I think radius was around 9. And the explosion is not that big either. I doubt it will change a lot.

The main concern would be for bosses. And you don't really need aoe there. Although aoe can be useful in some situations.

I guess we'll have to wait for patch notes to know more.
The explosion radius will be approximately 3-4 units smaller than before depending on how many aoe nodes you are using. It will be fine.



As for the prolif I can't really say how it will be effected tbh.

Thanks for this, I think it will be fine as well.
I'd like to league start with this build and was wondering if you plan on updating this for 2.6 before the league begins especially the passive tree?
Not really sure. I don't think its good to start this build as EA but you should transition over once a little later on.

As mirthfulnga said you don't start with EA but transition into it. You can see the "Leveling the Elementalist" spoiler for details.

The tree remains the same. Good luck.
can you update it? please :)
