PathfinderI am surprised how good this build is. 
Explosive Concoction does a massive damage and since we can inflict tons of ignite it's easy to activate 
Cast on Ignite most of the time.
Most of the times we can only use 1 skill against bosses we are using 3 skills just to scale our damage but it's surprising how much damage we can do with this build.
This build is all about Explosive Concoction most of your damage will came from this skill, the clear speed is crazy good you can even slot a 
Blink to increase your clear speed.
To create a similar build you can start with 74 spirit but if you increase that you can make use of more buffs increasing your speed and defences.
Another requirement is the 
Widowhail together with a good quiver will increase our damage by a lot!
The last piece of item you really want is 
Hand of Wisdom and Action that will increase your damage a lot.
A good mana flask and belt is also really important to make this build work in every situation.
Bellow I will explain everything in detail that you need to know.
For this build you can get most of it for a budget. The quiver will be probably the most expensive quiver to find. Body armour and helmet will really depend how good you looking for but something like this can get you to +4 difficulty end game.
The weapon is pretty straight forward all you need to find is a ideally with 280% increased bonuses gained from quiver offcorse if you can't afford for this one because the higher the number more expensive it is start with one lower, for example the one I have at the moment is just 268%.
Since we are using quiver is super important the best quiver you can use is a since Critical Strike will scale our Explosive Concoction damage. +2 To level of all projectile skills is a mandatory modifier, since with will multiply this number and increase a lot your and since it will not increase it cost it will only increase our damage.
List of stats by prioritization:
- +2 To Level Of All Projectile Skills
- % Increased Critical Hit Chance For Attacks
- % Increased Critical Damage Bonus For Attack Damage
- % Increased Attack Speed
- adds # to # cold/ physical damage to attacks
- Projectile Speed
Helmet will be our main source of energy shield being our second only layer of protection since we are using we want a decent shield. Besides this will also help to increase our evasion as well.
List of stats by prioritization:
- % Increased Energy Shield
- +# To Maximum Energy Shield
- Resistances that you may need
- Dexterity or Intelligence
- % Increased Rarity Of Items Found
This will be one of our sources for spirit and also layers of defence. You want to look for a body armour with full evasion ideally but one with evasion + energy shield can work as well. Since we are using the evasion rating will be converter to energy shield.
List of stats by prioritization:
- +# To Spirit
- +# To Evasion Rating
- % Increased Evasion
- Resistances you may need
- Intelligence or Dexterity
- % Increased Rarity Of Items Found
Boots are all about movement speed specially for this build. We want to get ones with as much movement speed as possible, 30% minimum. On this equipment we are using evasion and energy shield main stats.
List of stats by prioritization:
- % Increased Movement Speed
- % Increased Evasion And Energy Shield
- Resistances you may need
- % Increased Rarity Of Items Found

This is a super important item we use mana flasks as our main resource to attack and a good belt will help with that, thanks to modifiers that will reduce the number of flasks charges used.
List of stats by prioritization:
- % Reduced Flask Charges Used (mandatory)
- Any resistances you may need
- + # To Maximum Mana
- % Increased Rarity Of Items Found
In this build we are using Hand of Wisdom and Action but you can use regular gloves as well. This unique gloves will help to increase our damage and attack speed as well and this will be the best gloves you can choose but if you don't have ones right now this are the stats you should look for.
List of stats by prioritization:
(Evasion Rating Gloves)
- Adds # To # Fire/ Cold Or Physical Damage to Attacks

There are several good amulet you can use like to increase Rarity, to increase attributes or for more spirit, and we really need spirit for this build.
Instil your amulet with 
Stormcharged to increase your damage by a LOT! But keep in mind this instil is expensive so use it when you are 100% you keeping that amulet for a long time.
Besides this, amulet will be another item we can get more energy shield.
List of stats by prioritization:
- # To Spirit ( ideally you want at least 50 spirit here)
- % Increased Maximum Energy Shield
- + # To Maximum Energy Shield
- # To Level Of Projectile Skills
- +# To All Attributes
- Dexterity or Intelligence
- Any Resistances You May Need
- % Increased Rarity Of Items Found
The best instil you can pick with this build is will increase our chaos damage, attributes and movement speed.
Flasks are really important for this build. Life flask can be any that gives you a good amount of life but for the Mana Flasks there is a modifier that you really want to look for, %Increased Charges is super useful for this build since we use charges from this having more we can cast Explosive Concoction as much we want without worrying about spending all of them.
Widowhail we really want to get some 
Soul Core of Ticaba to increase our critical damage bonus.
Iron Rune or resistances runes if you need.Iron Rune to scale evasion and energy shield.Iron Rune or any resistances runes to cap your resistances. 
Thawing Charm never fails to prevent that horrible freeze.
jewels are a strong component in this build.
You really need a to get those 5 nodes without having to really connect the path and this way we can afford some extra nodes to make this build stronger.
Overall and are the way to and get a few with a stats bellow.

Explosive Concoction
Flammability
Solar Orb
Herald of Ash
Cast on Ignite
Grim Feast
Ghost Dance
Alchemist's Boon
Cast on Ignite
Most of the time you only need to use Explosive Concoction .
This is the main skill for this build and you need most of the time, this support gems will increase our damage. Scattershot will show as it decreased your dps but in reality will be much higher since we are shooting 2 additional projectiles the damage you see is multiplied by 3.
While you using your Explosive Concoction you will see big explosion because it will activate Herald of Ash and together with Cast on Ignite triggering 
Detonate Dead you will keep watching tons of explosions happening at once.
You can notice there are 2 x Cast on Ignite one for clearing maps and other one for bossing.
Flammability will be a skill only for bosses to reduce their resistances to fire damage.
Solar Orb is here just to increase our damage and provide some more sustain.
Cast on Ignite will trigger 
Eye of Winter against bosses to increase our chance to critical hit and will trigger 
Frost Wall adding extra damage and increasing the freeze build up.
Herald of Ash will create that massive explosions while clearing maps together with Detonate Dead and Spell Echo, creating this effect twice. You will only need this skills while clearing maps when you fight a boss you will turn this Cast on Ignite off and turn the bossing one on.
Grim Feast will provide tons of energy shield while killing the enemies giving you 2x your maximum energy shield.
When you face a boss switch on the Cast on Ignite with Eye of Winter and Frost Wall. And swap Grim Feast for Alchemist's Boon for extra flasks.
You will noticing how fast Cast on Ignite is being triggered being so good to clear maps and bossing thanks to the high chance from Explosive Concoction to apply ignite on enemies.
The aim of this build is to scale our Explosive Concoction with loads of critical while we have a decent amount of energy shield and good evasion.
Thanks to Widowhail and using a good bow, I recommend the 
Visceral Quiver which gives critical hit chance from the implicit this build will be crazy good doing tons of damage and one shotting everything.
Master Fletching will help to increase even more the bonuses from our quiver.
Subterfuge Mask will help to increase our evasion rating using a helmet full of energy shield while will give us more energy shield if using a body armour full of evasion rating.
This build we are also using 
Chaos Inoculation and this way we are immune to chaos damage and 
Eternal Youth as well, this way we can recover energy shield with flasks.
As you can see we are looking for a lot of critical strike and critical damage bonus since these can scale much more our damage.
We can find a few fire damage and penetration of fire resistance to increase our Explosive Concoction damage.
To get all of this nodes you will need a Controlled Metamorphosis with a medium-large ring this way you can slot 7 nodes that will improve this build a lot without having to connect them and this way we can spend this passive points somewhere else.
Map Clearing: Explosive Concoction is all you need. Use Cast on Ignite with Detonate Dead.
Boss: Activate Flammability and Solar Orb to scale our damage and spam Explosive Concoction. Use Cast on Ignite with Eye of Winter and Frost Wall/
Map Clearing: while you casting Explosive Concoction you will trigger Herald of Ash increasing your damage and also trigger Cast on Ignite activating Detonate Dead together with Spell Echo this will creating tons of explosions all over the map. This is specially good while doing Breach since you will have tons of monster around the map to kill.
Boss: Cast Flammability to decrease fire resistance on boss and Solar Orb to increase damage thanks to Font of Rage and sustain thanks to Font of Mana, then Strip Away to increase exposure lowering enemy resistances. After this just spam Explosive Concoction that will trigger Cast on Ignite casting Eye of Winter to increase critical strike and Frost Wall to increase damage and freeze build up.
