How I crafted INSANE GEAR for Explosive Arrow Champ - Build Update 

please do mapping 101 for this league, followed your ea guide but i still dont understand things after finishing the campaign

The essence passives are just so amazing.. even using remnant of corruption on every essence pack you almost can't run out cause you keep finding more of them and they get duplicated cause it's often a shrieking one

Don't use it if it has essences you need or they may disappear

@@destroyermaker how would they disappear ?

@@nguyentri3608 One of the outcomes

@@destroyermaker he's probably using the atlas passive that prevents that from happening

Every strength point gives you 0,5 max life, not 20.

@@GG-jg6py Ziz said that 50 strenght gives u 25 hp, which is true and is what that guy was refering too. But yea, brassdome negates it completely anyway.

He usually just runs through maps and when he finds Harvest, he does it.

Ashes of the stars is very good and it allows you to drop Combustion support for another damage link. -Skryah

Amulet (1) +Empower (3) + Bow (3)

@@TheSlithice tysm, completely forgot about empower!

For coloring you have a few options. The hard way is with chrome bench crafts or harvest crafts that work similarly. There are also harvest crafts that will change a non-x socket to x, as well as vorici white socket craft. The best way is to combine both. You start by getting several off colors using bench/harvest then use vorici and/or the other harvest recipes in hopes of getting the last couple off colors

I did this build as a relative nube, and see vids showing standard costs of 5 exalts to purchase a bow and finish it off. Yikes. I wish Ziz would warn people about the difficulty. You just switch to bow at 50?! I’m now faced with the prospect of starting over. I’m looking over various builds with costs in mind.

@@nullpointer782 IF you can get a 6 link bow, you can make something close to the multimod version for less than an exalt IL 64+, corroded, metallic, jagged takes ~4 tries to get a +3 bow craft AS and done (if you get good AS with the fossils then gratz, craft fire as extra chaos and pat yourself on the back) The multimod adds 15% more dmg but costs exalts(lets you craft AS and fire as extra chaos). If you can't get a 6 link bow then a 5 link can hold you over until then which really shouldn't be a problem on this build and should cost almost nothing comparatively

@@nullpointer782 i play in SSF and currently in tier 8 maps with no problems on a fucking 4 link thicket bow with only stats as 14% dot multi and crafted 8% attack speed and tabula. This is the one of most popular builds in HC ssf right now, so pls dont pretend that you need to buy 5 ex bow to make it viable

@@ongogablogian2525 I have been using the POB guide the whole time. It says to “switch to explosive arrow” and talks about crafting the 6L bow… NOTHING about using a lesser bow. I’m not pretending anything. I have been collecting some bows, but the best I have is a 5 socket recurve with 2 2L. I wasted my 5 orbs of binding and got nothing more to link. So what is the minimum bow to “switch to EA”?

It doesn't. You can go to The Fetid Pools in Act 1, where you get 3 easy archnemesis statues, and use it there with two other modifiers to get 3 (Berserker) or 6 (Empowered Elements) uniques per map. Some people said that if you use all of the statues or clear the map then it won't be available again on that character. I didn't test the clearing the map, but I used all of the statues and it still had statues each time. Even though you can get Tabulas this way, it isn't super common. It took me probably 30-45 uniques to get mine. By the time I got it I had like a dozen Doedre's Damning puau rings.

@@Toraxa I had Empowered Elements, wen to the island, had 2 statues, character level 3, the first statue dropped only boots and the second didn't drop any uniques.

@@jdvorakczech don't know what to tell you man. I got some on my main character, made an alt, rushed it right to fetid pools and started using both empowered elements and berserker modifiers to get uniques. He started doing this at like level 3 or 4. If there is a level requirement it's 2 at most, which is a silly requirement if it exists.

That's just you bro. Video is fine on my end

Classic zizaran shit build lol

Well still he achived 6.7k life. With brass dome and banner he probably have more armour then most people will ever see.

Was tired, meant str on rings for no brass dome, only accidentally had str on one ring, none on the new ones

@@steamh4mmer264 i never have shit builds what are you on about

@@Zizaran ye i just thought it was kinda funny, i didnt even know brass dome did that until you moused over it in the video lol

Most people wont use brass dome, more of a hc thing

Yet you can use them to craft good gear and sell the gear pretty easily still. They are hella useful.

Nevermind. I watched the bow crafting video - answer in 5:00 there.

Essence of Woe

@@Zizaran thank you, after reading it i can also hear it :D

what is ias?

@@zaknafein254 increased attack speed

@@siRrk1337 Gotcha. As a noob, I find it hard to hit res caps and attribute requirements normally with gear. But other players manage to do it while also running other mods like your armor pieces have (increased attack speed, spell suppression, etc). How do you res cap while also still getting those super desirable damage and/or defense mods?

@@zaknafein254 after i got my first set of shit gear with res and some life i slowly incorporate items with desirable mods. rings are a good slot to get a lot of res on. also nodes on the passive tree that grant some allres make things a lot easier. are you familiar with crafting? a free suffix means space for a crafted res mod of your choice. supression is harder, i realy struggled with it this league, but once i hit 100% it felt so much better that right now im spending 7 nodes just to cap it, and i got gloves and helmet with them and 3 more nodes i was planing on using anyway. idk if this answers anything for you. oh, and i spend my currency, even if i lack good bases. and its always like i have say 5 items i like, and 3 more just to make the others work. like my amulet often times is just for stats and maybe some res and life, and like i said rings for res edit: on the topic of attribute requirements, i plan my pathing accordingly. sometimes you can adjust a build and do things a little different so that you wont struggle as hard. and i usually pick up some 30 attribute nodes early on that i later unspec when i figuered things out. rdit2: i think the tldr of all this is crafting and general build-planing
