Level 99 Explosive Arrow Totem Elementalist^3.25

Notes

build by: youtube.com/soropoe
-----------------------------------------

Under no circumstances have pierce/chain/fork
Once you grab Elemental Equilibrium keystone, DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDED FIRE DAMAGE ANYWHERE IN YOUR BUILD!
With Elemental Equilibrium you dont need any other source of applying exposure in your build (just add a flat cold/lightning damage somewhere)
Maintain atleast 90% chance to hit with accuracy. If you cant get enough accuracy, use PRECISION AURA
Getting accuracy early is a bit difficult so try to get from gear (rare bow/quiver/rings/helmet/gloves) - can also use crafting bench
Attack speed is also important (base weapon should have a minimum 1.5 attack speed)
Most EA Builds dont take skill effect duration. In my experience, you need atleast 45% increased skill effect duration to have 14 to 22 fuses on the target (unless your attack speed is > 3.5).
Mana Regen is better than Lifetap for my version (using clarity and mana regen rate in amulet). Can use enduring mana flask early if its an issue.
ATTRIBUTES EARLY: CAN USE NODES IN PASSIVE TREE and DEXTERITY AMULET 
Should pay extra attention to the levelling guide for this one. 

3.25
-----

Got extra reservation nodes
Added vitality
lost the totem wheel (still have same number of ballistas)

Use body armour with high evasion to offset nerf to grace

Levelling
------------
Weapon -> dual wield Goats horns in Act 1

Act 1

Act 4
-------
Remove Herald of Purity, Remove Herald of Ash
Add Grace and Haste (after taking Sovereignty)
Keep Clarity (but dont level it beyond your capacity to apply skills) 

After grabbing Shaper of Flames, you can switch to Explosive Arrow.
If you are playing this at league start (unless you chose this for a budget build), you can buy it from : Fixture of Fate Quest in the Library Act 3 to get access to all gems || or wait to get it from Lilly in Act 6
Early on totem survivability is a bit weak, but they will stabilize after 3 levels

Also Before switching to EA, grab Primal Manifestation. You can also respec the nodes near the Witch starting point once you switch
Can use Precision if you lack Accuracy.

Switching to EA
-------------------
Remove Wave of conviction, Holy flame totem, flame wall and their supports
EA -> ballista totem support, faster attacks, Ignite proliferation/elemental proliferation

Early Maps
-------------
You can use Essence of Delirium in gloves for a much better 5 link for your EA until you get 6 link (can benchcraft accuracy in it as well)
