TBH Hunter Explosive Bolt build: crit cap, crit damage, cooldown and boss burst
Explosive Bolt Hunter is boss-focused: cap crit and cooldown first, then scale crit damage, attack damage and positioning.
Source: Video source: 苍穹Wizard (Bilibili)Build role
Hunter is hero 501, a DLC role using Crossbow and Bolt. This Explosive Bolt setup uses crit cap, crit damage and Quick Loader for single-target burst. It is better for boss pushing than fast map farming.
Crit cap and damage
Cap crit chance first, then scale crit damage and attack damage. Calculate the crit-rate coefficient from Hunter base crit, talents, crossbow and helm sources; in play, socket while watching whether the sheet reaches crit cap.
Cooldown and skills
Cooldown reduction is the second hard gate, with a target around 75%. Prioritize Explosive Bolt and Quick Loader. Frost Bolt is optional for a balance of mapping and bosses, while Charge Trap, Crossbow Turret and Shock Bolt are not core here.
Boss use
Do not judge this Hunter only by movement speed farming. It works as a burst answer for high-HP elites and bosses. If map clear is weak, let Sorcerer handle waves while Hunter stays mid-back for damage windows.
FAQ
Is Hunter good for speed farming?
This Explosive Bolt setup is more for bosses and high-HP enemies. For fast wave clear, pair it with Sorcerer or another area role.
Which stat comes first?
Push crit chance to target first, then add cooldown reduction, crit damage, attack damage and enough attack speed. Do not judge only by item rarity.
