Exploding Arrow Guide
The Exploding Arrow Amazon Build provides a High Damage output build. When it comes to your skills, you want to start by putting 1 point into the following: Penetrate, Valkyrie, Decoy, Inner Sight, Dodge, Slow Missiles, Critical Strike, Pierce. The main Skills to max out are Exploding Arrow, Immolation Arrow, Fire Arrow and then the rest of the point into Magic Arrow and then Valkyrie.
For the stats, make sure to start by getting an HellFire Torch and an Annihilus, keep them in your inventory and then you can start allocating your Strength, just enough to to wear all the gear, Vitality until you reach roughly 1000 Life before Battle Order. No points are needed in Energy and the rest of the points into Dexterity for more Damage.
The Equipment selection for Weapons is Faith, preferably a 2 to Skills and 15 Fanaticism, you can also chose an Ice Bow and have an Act 1 Mercenary with a Faith so you still get the damage bonuses from Fanaticism. Armor wise, you want to go for either a Dusk Shroud Fortitude or a Dusk Shroud Chains of Honor. For your Helmet, go for a Crown of Ages, the Resistance, the Damage Reduced as well as the 2 open sockets will allow you to add Jewels or Runes. The Gloves preferably a Dracul's Grasp or a Rare pair of Gloves with 2 to Bow Skills and Increased Attack Speed. You could also go for a Laying of Hands. For the Belt you go for a Razortail, the Pierce Damage will be key on the Bowzon. Boots, War Travelers if you want some Magic Find or you can go a bit more traditional with a Gore Rider or a Sandstorm Trek. For the Rings, Dual Leech, Raven Frost and Manald are the go to options. For the Amulet, Highlord's Wrath and Cat's Eye are both very solid choices.
Inventory, the best option is 7% Faster Run/Walk Bow Skill Grand Charms. To add to that you can chose 20 Life and Resist Small Charms or if you want to max out damage, you can get 3 Max/xx Attack Ration/Life Small Charms as well.
Traditionally Act 2 Merc, you want to get an Infinity Thresher, an Ethereal Archon Plate Fortitude and an Andariel's Visage or a Guillaume Mask.
