[2.6] HC Explosive Arrow Champion
Hi Guys, Here's an overview of the Explosive Arrow Champion build I'll be playing in the hardcore 2.6 league! I'll be leveling as Molten Strike into Sunder into Earthquake into Ancestral Warchief totems. Grab Destroyer, Resolute Technique and Butchery while leveling and respec out of those once you swap to Explosive Arrow. I'll be swapping to Explosive Arrow once I obtain a 5 link Quill Rain and a level 17+ Explosive Arrow Gem. This forum post will be updated with my gear as I progress in 2.6. Assuming they re-introduce Legacy Kaom's this build should be able to reach ~15k HP! That means 'low life' status occurs at ~5k HP! With the 'First to Strike, Last to Fall' ascendancy point we will gain 200% Increased Armor and Evasion and also Elemental Status Ailments will be removed at that 5k HP mark. Preeeetty Good! Level 100 Achieved! Gear as of April 23, 2017:

Pathing is up to you. You can always go for Explosive Impact, Savagery or Arsonist early on if you don't have enough damage from gear.

I plan on grabbing 'Inspirational' first to help myself and my team level (Unless one of my teammates also grabs it). Once I get to Cruel lab I will then pick up 'Unstoppable Hero' and likely respec 'Inspirational' into 'Fortitude'. For Merciless I will pick up 'Inspirational' again and lastly will grab 'First to Strike, Last to Fall' from Uber lab.
Lab Enchants:

Hello guys.

I did on softcore but it struggles unless you really stack the burn and use dual curse. This is more geared towards farming maps with fast clear speeds :)
