What about explosive arrow? Seems like everyone is ignoring it, is it that much weaker than burning arrow? Still gonna leaguestart as this one probably tho.


EA is powerful in its own right. There are a lot of theories out on Reddit right now. I wouldn't suggest it for this build because it does not invest in the correct items or skill tree nodes to be optimized for EA. It could likely be easily adapted to it, but unfortunately with my current workload, I don't have time to theorize on it. I definitely encourage experimenting with it though.
Uh oh, Stinky
Was going to avoid the bow meta this league, but stumbled upon this build and filed it under the "future build folder" then they released all the buffs to burning arrow, and now I might jump on the meta wagon and start with this.
Maybe my testing is skewed, but in my PoB it appears that Destroyer and Deadly Draw are superior choices over the new Lava Lash and Burning Brutality (per point), and that Heavy Draw gives about the same return as these two per point.

Can anyone else test and confirm? I've removed Spiritual Aid for the life nodes and am using Localidentity's fork.

sorry if this has already been asked, but how do you spread your ignite without proliferation support?
Xoph's Nurture has "Socketed gems are supported with Level 20 Ignite Proliferation"

Ah ok, so before you get that I guess run ignite prolif instead of combustion?

I've just tried this out. PoB says we lose about 30k ignite dmg. It's such a marginal loss that I think it's worth taking these over Lava Lash. Should help us balance some points back for our life nodes.

Yeah, those were my feelings too. Opting for this route we can take the entire life wheel by scion along with Destroyer and Heavy Draw by level 90, which is more DPS and significantly more life. 95 we can take Burning Brutality.
