How good/bad of a first character is tri-curse RF totem chieftain with either orb of storms or ball lightning to curse on hit and trigger EE plus EO?

Edit: by which I mean orb or ball to curse on hit, and traps to trigger EE since orb and ball won't deal any damage.

I'm thinking of something similar. Since I hate pressing buttons, I was wondering if I could combine things and use trapped ice spear to both apply ice damage and get crits? IS-GMP-Trap-Fork?,Chain?, cluster traps?, inc crits? Leave it in a 3l?
Or maybe use frost nova to spread ice damage around as much as possible so something like IS-FN-Trap-Cluster?

E: Does cluster trap work with the trap support gem? The wiki doesn't say either way.

So I'm stuck at work until 8 EDT -- I'll be in around 9 EDT, debating between HC and SC (I like HC, but I have a feeling 99% of the guild is gonna be SC). Probably PF BV, once I see how ZIggy's build shakes out.

What time is it?
I think facebreaker builds with the essence on contempt and the new steel rings can give you somewhere around 23-27 physical damage per attack, which can makeup the different between abyssus and bor. Though losing a chest is pretty bad.

Also, slayer or elementalist can get 100% reduced ele/phy damage from reflect with essence of insanity on a ring quiver and using sybils lament.

These are good for the children's brains.
At the last minute I'm kinda liking the idea of a chaos ice build. Pyre, two consuming darks and an infernal mantle, vortex and maybe ice spear. Would only end up with 75% damage as chaos but you can stack up a gigantic amount of increased damage without traveling much at all with fire cold and chaos all as viable nodes. Bunch of crit innately too. Seems like the poison would be super strong.

My only issue is it's pretty much going to require me to use ES and I've never screwed with ES at all. I don't even know what a reasonable %ES amount to aim for is. I've got a speculative build that would end up at about 200% es and 120% life.

How does scaling affect Explosive Arrow- weapon damage doesn't affect it but any applicable sources will increase the fire damage?

Fire, AoE, projectile and elemental damage scales the explosions.

quote:

Charges: The damage from Explosive Arrow charges will not show properly on the character screen because the damage is not being caused by the skill itself but rather the charges applied.

The charges deal secondary area projectile fire damage. They do not do spell or bow damage, and by extension they do not do weapon or attack damage either. This means the following modifiers do not apply:

gain on hit
Quill Rain's reduced weapon damage
weapon elemental damage
Iron Grip
Iron Will

basically using dreamfeather's globals you stack evasion to increase your poison damage, and since projectile double dipping is still in it should work fine

Perfectly viable. Ice & pyre is a thing even without dual consuming & inf mantle. I would sooner spec to CI long term though and not hybrid.

I might figure out CI eventually but I need to get used to relying on ES in general before then. Build-wise I imagine it's better but my playstyle would get me murdered.
