FastAF ⚡'s Notes

Hey guys ! Here's something different for u guys, a fastaf challenge using only 10ex budget, and why i chose explosive arrow? Here's why !

**What you need to know about Explosive arrow :

  • It has a duration, which means your initial hit will not instant kaboom(so u can either slot in Less Duration support(lose some dps) or shoot and run to next mobs, explosions will kill them anyway~

  • The damage multiplier all comes from your area damage, so stack as many projectiles to deal the most damage on per target

  • Ignite build is strong with this skill, but mainstream AF, so let's have some boom boom action !

// Build Overview //

  • Shoot n stack to make d Boom boom BIG AF
  • Strong single target DPS (replace GMP to Barrage support)

.............

// Gear //

  1. Death's Opus(6L) - 60c
  • Because easily get +2 projectiles
  • U can use Arborix too, or any rare bow that has +2 proj
  • Works very well with barrage support(more proj more dps)
  1. Carcass Jack (Don't need 6L) - 10c (with good rolls)
  • Huge AOE and Area damage which is good for farm + bossing (especially Delirium, because mobs are tanky, and u can easily stack alot of hits per mob, den BOOM)
  1. Devoto helm - 30c (For ez atk + movement speed)*Personal favorite for running builds

  2. Seven-league step - 80c (can easily replace to rare boots, i use it because i want to run faster)

  3. Tombfist (with ele weakness corrupt) - 1.5ex (Not necessary, u can use storm brand-curse on hit -ele weakness)

  • Can easily replace to Oskarm for even more budget
  1. Amulet - 65c
  • Look for Life + Attributes(that u lack) + fire damage (pretty cheap this league, as long its not phys dps lol)
  1. Rings - 40/50c
  • Life + Resist + Elemental Damage (As long its not steel ring)
  1. Belt - 80c
  • Look for life + resist (easy cap)
  1. Clusters (Between 60c - 90c)
  • Stack AOE/Area damage/Elemental Damage
  • Fettle (must) for small cluster to get some decent HP
  1. Rare jewels (budget AF)
  • FULL DAMAGE (15-30c) lol *If you include Max Life Inc. on jewel, the price will go up to 2ex+
  1. Quiver - 50c
  • Life + Elemental Damage (or) Any mod u need(resist, proj speed, etc)
  1. Flasks (Unique)
  • Cinderswallow (1ex+) for stun avoidance (We only need the FREE 10%more damage while ignite on enemy & recover life on kill(good sustain while mapping)
  • Dying Sun (8-15c)

.............

Overall, explosive arrow itself is a very strong skill, try it out and ya'll know! Mirror-tier bow is basically dealing the same DPS with Death's Opus. The only thing u can make this build min-maxed is getting more life, Watcher's eye, etc etc!
