[Build of the week S4E8] Havrd's Burning Arrow Marauder [Bloodlines][1.3]

Yeah, actually i was going to make a burning arrow build, decided to check if there are any news since 1.2 and your post pop up in google :) ... but Finally its a matter of personal choice, and most importantly the league we play, when we choose how to build. As you said, and I got your point, being dependant on Equipment in a new League. I am pretty sure if you start now in the regular HC, when there's an active market you will probably chose a better path, considering also the fact you already know the strenth and weakneses of your build. And even if I claim to be right, i will probably rebuild my own build with 10-15 points after i finish with it, and after playing it for a while in high level content. (that always happens :D) But i noticed in your videos that you ain using grace, also your armor is only 40% increase in passives, and no EVA at all. nice HP nodes tho (200% HP), but as far as I saw even in the videos, even regular mobs hit you hard, same goes with the build of noobdw (169%) who obviously go crazy with damage :)... I must Admit that OOS seems to be the closest build to my point of view, with maybe some cosmetic changes, that I would make, but this one looks pretty solid to me, 240% HP, both stacking armor and Eva, also with lighting coil additional mitigation of the physical damage. The thing is nowdays, when no having +%max resistances nodes, the Idea of acrobatics and stacking EVA seems much more confident to me, and the reason is high level stuff, mostly reflect, or BIG hits of bosses, that dont get mitigated, and pierce through armor even if 70%+ mitigation... actually these are the times when we die, dont we (oh and desync)? :D I am not that concerned about regular mobs even if they hit hard sometimes... However i will go with the build of OOS, with some small changes, and a big one - Acrobatics, for something like this http://tinyurl.com/ok8fzun It just look pretty solid to me. 40% Dodge Atacks 30% dodge spells, stacked eva with grace for 190% total EVA increase, and 245% life, all the ele/fire nodes picked around. Having 230 dex to remove DEX requirement in equipment to focus on other good stats on Equip, like life or flat phys/fire damage. Why not even dropping the Resolute technique. with 230 dex, and the 20% increase Accuracy i think it should be fine ?! I think the only thing build is lacking is the increased AOE nodes, but in terms of survivabily, that seems like a good trade. :)

Well my build is for lvl 85, only 105points spent, I can get over 200% easily and over 100%[armour+evasion] :P it's just the base (because I dont want to plan too far before I see what the build really needs)
But yeah I love dmg ^^ LOVE it. because HC is the true meaning of yolo (you only live once )

I could run 76 maps (never got to 77/78 because RNG) just fine including killing the boss in invasion with 220%. (5k life+1.5k ES)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: you really MUST get some aoe man... you have zero. the base radius of only one prolif circle (caused by one arrow that hits one target) is just too small!

Edit2: here is what I think I would've done:lvl 99 tree
214% life + witch flask nodes (Huge boost to armour,life,max resist and movespeed. CAN'T ignore it! especially with lightning coil)

:D ... 10x for the Sarcasm and Sorry for the wall of text, was in a hurry :)

Also thank you for the feedback about the Aoe. I am still going to try it my way... considering i am shooting arrows, rather than traps, its not a problem to shoot several in diferent direction... for larger AoE. if that happens to be an issue, i will probably sacrifice some of 20% HP nodes... and maybe, just maybe get the other route for 80% more mana regen, since i think it would be useful... also 1.8% life regen... http://tinyurl.com/oujoteu
... I think the +30 flat life from going into templar area for the AoE should cover some of the lost %increased life from other nodes. Eva still the same... I think thats even smarter.. the only loss is the 1% to max fire resist... but hey considering i am gonna take about 25% of the reflected damage... i dont see how 1% to max resist is gonna make a difference.. thats like.. what ?! 4% in acutal increase in damage taken from reflect :)

So sick bro, its alot of fun to see alot of variants on this build! Are you struggeling with low HPreg? or is it no problem?
My build has tons, so that really helps if i have to kite some fractured beyond degen swordbros.


Well due to my higher base life I have more regen than you (only from comparing the defensive stat screenshots we both posted) 231 x 212.
Both our trees have advantages and disadvantages, the damage is high enough that I prefer to be more tanky using my tree + Lightning Coil. I think on your tree I would have been one shot in one map where Beyond bosses all hit me with LMP Tornado Shot.

Good luck linking your Chin Sol.

Reflect wont be an issue, you're using a single target. it's only scary to hit a huge pack with AoE skill since 10mobs=10 times the dmg :P
20% acc from tree+ okayish amount of DEX and no RT, that's even worse, I dont think it was intended? because you'll have like 75-80%chance to hit with very good gear (acc)

My only issue with lightning coil against burst physical dmg is crits, one crit and all the rest will deal 50% more dmg :s (that's how I think iot works, never used Coil though)
Can you drop herald of ash for purity of lightning?

I've used Lightning Coil on a lot of characters now, never had a problem with being shocked. Especially as most fights the Topaz is active, so the damage they deal isn't enough to shock you. If you really worry about it then run a dispel shock pot.
There's pretty much no better defensive chest for non MoM builds.

For auras I use Anger, and either Grace or PoLight depending on the map.

Just hit 87, updated gear:
Spoiler


Need new boots, gloves, Rumi's Concoction, then everything finished really. Might 5L my chest if I hit 91 or something.

Rearguard Quiver is extremely strong, you lose a little damage I guess but the defense is amazing.



The trap nodes seem good, but I also really want the Templar ele damage nodes.
I specced into all 3 Templar aoe nodes and it wasn't much different. Will have to test what is best 90+ :)
