[2.6] TheBockwursts EA Pathfinder (7.7kHP/maxBlock/DoubleCurse/+200%MS/MassiveClearspeed/Videos)

We love flasks, we love clear speed, we love DPS. So what do we do? We combined all three of those into this build. This build utilizes Explosive Arrow for massive DPS and burn DOT as well as the Pathfinder Ascendancy for some ridiculous flasks.

tl;dr: 75/45 Block, 7.7kHP, +200%MS, no Grand Spectrums.










Weapon Swap (Single Target):


Gear: This build is pretty straight forward. Quill Rain provides the necessary Attack speed we want for dishing out maximum arrows in as little time as possible. Rearguard with Rumi's Concoction provides 75/45 Block which in combination with Kaom's Heart (for some serious HP) is a solid foundation in terms of defences. Devoto's Devotion is BiS as it adds Attack Speed, Movement Speed and some Chaos Resistance. Aim for the EA Dmg Enchant for best results. Ngamahu Tiki provides a bit of life and some really neat double dipping Fire Damage which is a solid boost to your offense. Headhunter is a nice-to-have that is by no means necessary but gives us a good boost in map clear speed.

For Flasks we went with Wise Oak for single target DPS (30% penetration on top), Dying Sun for AoE, a Alchemist's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline for a whopping 147%MS just from this flask. Last but not least: Rumis Concoction which gives us quite a lot of Block. Aim for %Life, Fire Damage and Area Damage on your jewels.

Budget Options: This build has been minmaxed a fuckton but does not need all the above posted gear to clear solidly. If you wanna do this on a budget, it's pretty straight forward. Leave out the dedicated single target setup and instead swap in gems as necessary. Run a nonlegacy Rumi's for a bit less Block and skip on the +1maxres Kaoms, same goes for Headhunter. Instead of the +1curse Ammy you can also spec into Whispers of Doom, needs just a bit of tree modification.

+200% life, 7.1% regen for ~650hp/sec regen, Elemental Overload, Elemental Equilibrium. Still working on more life, jewel slots and AoE. Ascendancy is Pathfinder because fuck yeah, we love those freaking flasks. Flask Effect nodes at the witch are also pretty decent, pick those up. Ascendancy wise we want the Master Alchemist and Master Surgeon path.

Bandits are Oak (+40life) - Kill all (+1passive) - Kraytin (+1frenzy)

Yep, works pretty damn solid. With our current clearspeed we have pretty much 100% uptime on all flasks, expcept for really long boss fights. But they rarely take long enough to really make this matter. If people are interested I could also upload a boss kill compilation where we faceroll through T12-T15 bosses.

Could you link your jewels please? :)

I was wondering what your gem swap is for single target? and would you just replace empower lv4 with a slower proj or is empower lv3 still worth using? thanks in advance.

How does ea compare to LA?

I am switching GMP to slower proj and IncAoE to Chance to ignite to really ensure those beefy ignites.

Well, LA makes Zapp, EA makes boom so there's that, I guess. Never played LA so I don't have any comparison but I suspect them to be pretty much on the same level dps wise when done properly.
