Explosive Arrow MoM build [1.1.X]

Sitting at 85% chance to hit now, but I've played with 80% most of the time. It's not that big of a deal if you are shooting 4.5 arrows per second ;)

2 video's added, including a Temple and Torture Chamber fracture map.
Youtube is really slow with uploading these days, 73 maps video is begin uploaded right now.

Hi,
I found a quill rain with itemlevel 16 and three linked sockets. I also wanted to make a build that is similar to this build. So I started leveling up a ranger with spectral throw (what is more efficient and make more fun) and copied the skill tree one-to-one ;). I'm at level 62 now and the high agility and shot frequency makes realy fun. I have no problem to clear the docks or early maps. Ill also share my stats/gear for all who might also consider to play this build.


At this time I play without Mind over Matter because of the huge mana consumption of the skills. It does work with the actual settings quite good.

Level 62

Passive tree

My current gear

Going for this amazing build in HC. Any suggestions? Ty

Thanks for believing in this build ;)

The biggest danger for this build is physical spell damage and hard hitting cold/lightning spells, especially lightning. I suggest leveling a purity of lightning with it and use it instead of grace in lightning heavy bossfights. Switch for topaz flask, but this is somethign that counts for a lot of builds that don't have any +max resist from passive tree or uniques. I still can't tell this build is good for the highest level maps as I only got 1 lvl 76 so far :p

Also if you need more tankiness you could use the 4 links for a CwdT (or cast when stunned) setup, although it will be hard to get a decent one because of all the evasion and evasion/es hybrid gear. The setup could include a temp chains/enfeeble to fit colors. Or add a manual enduring cry (with spell echo).
Another option is a Lightning Coil instead of carcass jack if you think the aoe and damage is ok, this will help a lot against the physical spells.

For farming I use Haste instead of Grace.

Best tip : don't even attempt Labyrinth boss ;)

Thanks for the guide, I plan on using it in the new HC league.

Did you have the chance to check the new Passive Tree? Any change in particular?
Thanks!

I was also thinking of using this spec for the new leagues. I’ve been playing around a bit with the new skill tree and was thinking of going witch instead of ranger. This is the spec i have been playing around with



Compared to the ranger counter part



By going witch you lose some hp (21%) and evasion but you get 60 % more mana regen and more mana. However at higher levels you can get just as much hp with the witch build and still maintain 60 % more mana regen, which is why i think the build might be stronger at higher levels.

If anyone has any comments on ways to improve the builds or any other suggestions i would be happy to hear them :).

Very interesting builds. I see you didn't choose any DoT or Increased burning damage node. Do you think EA is high enough? In another thread I shared a work in progress Scion build with similar risults in terms of stats: http://bit.ly/1lcX5Cd

Any feedback?

Hi, your build is interestening but how does your tree looks now after new update?

what do you think about this EA build for 1.2
