Last Epoch Marksman of a Thousand Stacks: Detonating Arrow
Channel: MinMaxRPG
Date: 2024-03-08

Marksman, Archers, Rangers, Hunters and other various named classes are always incredibly popular builds in ARPG titles like Last Epoch, Diablo and PoE. This build brings a nostalgic feel to the D2 Bowazon (Amazon) as it plays very similar to the beloved Explosive arrow builds found there. 

Last Epoch's Marksman has many builds that seem to excel at one area and then struggle in another. This Detonating Arrow and Explosive Trap build is easily the best all-around Marksman setup for this mastery (Rogue class) after patch 1.0 (nerfs to flurry and multishot). By combining sustain and burst damage with a generator and spender setup the playstyle is quite simple.

This build uses Puncture, Decoy (unspecialized), Detonating Arrow, Explosive Trap, Shift and Shuriken for skills. These skills lead to amazing AoE clear speed and good boss killing capability. Making this build truly shine in all content and is a contender for one of the best builds in the game for any class. 

Hail of Arrows is another popular Marksman skill due to its ability to quickly kill bosses with large critical strikes but is very clunky to play. This endgame build is a much smoother, fun and ultimately enjoyable playstyle. Derived from the Bowmage that was incredibly popular in Beta gameplay this twist brings the best of everything that's been added since then. Unique items Reign of Winter and Mourningfrost allow you to shoot Icicles with very high damage scaling in this build and generate an enormous amount of stacking DoT's or ailments. Passives and skill specializations can be found through the time stamps.
