I will do some math on how good are the Unrelenting nodes on this build (life% and mana cost ones).

Imagining you have a EA lvl 20 it will have a base cost of 27 mana (lvl 21 its 28 but I will do the math with a more acessible one)

For a standard 5L I will use these ones :

Explosive Arrow - Greater multiple projectiles(165%) - Fire penetration(140%) - Less duration(120%) - Increased area of effect(140%)

Basicly for a normal 5L you would spend 27 x 1,65 x 1,4 x 1,2 x 1,4 = 104,8 life PER shot !

Considering we got easily 4,5 shots per second before ascendancy , we will get now with all the buffs consistent 5 shots per second , that meaning 524 life per second with only a 5L!

With unrelenting nodes we get 104,8 x 0,85 = 89 mana per shot meaning 445 life per second . A reduction of ~15% meaning you have more 79 life per second that is 1% life regen if you have 8k Life pool and MORE if you have less than 8K life pool.

For 6L these ones :

Explosive Arrow - Greater multiple projectiles(165%) - Fire penetration(140%) - Slower Projectiles(140%) - Less duration(120%) - Increased area of effect(140%)

For a 6L it gets really more advantageous: 27 x 1,65 x 1,4 x 1,2 x 1,4 x 1,4 = 146,7 life PER shot !

It gets to a whooping 733,5 life that you are losing a second

Again, if you use Unrelenting : 146,7 x 0,85 = 124,7 per shot meaning 623,5 a second , basicly , 110 life per second you win , that means 1,4 % life regen if you have 8k life and more if you have less than that .


Basicly, if you consider life regen % to be good , it is impossible not to pick this , much better than bloodless , or vanilla 5% life nodes.

how works EE ?

By getting rid of any flat fire damage from your items, so EAs explosions can do the extra damage.

Example: You hit with cold from your gloves, therefore EE triggers -50% on all other elements (explosions from EA)

It's super important to reroll / craft flat fire damage into something else.

Doesn't the explosions themselves also trigger EE? So if anything were to blow up faster or slower, wouldn't they all be resistant? Also seems to make walling a lot weaker.

Can someone answer my question about chance to ignite please, does it not trigger EE?

Coming back on this, I just got 10% less mana cost of skills on my blood dance boots from the Labyrinth. It seems to work making EA just a bit cheaper.

Talking about:
EnchantmentManaCostsWhenHit1 53 10% reduced Mana Cost of Skills if you've been Hit Recently

Highest tier would give 18%.
