No, hex:bane doesn't apply to it, but it is still added to it. Level 20 magic arrow (via witchwild String) converts 43% of the physical damage you do to magic damage. So if you maximize your physical damage output via fortitude, pride, might merc, and fanaticism demon, you are then converting 43% of the physical damage you do to magic damage. That's big because you are then in reading your magic damage by a large percentage, and decreasing enemy magic resistances by a large percentage with this build too, which effectively can almost double that converted damage output. You then still do your remaining 57% physical damage that is vastly enhanced, and can stack amplify damage on top of that to even further enhance that damage.

There's absolutely no chance that anything does more damage per hit than explosions, which stack against packs of mobs and are so easily enhanced. 10 mobs being hit by 500 explosions is 25k damage per shot, plus whatever pierces. Add an enchant and they just disappear

10 mobs being hit by 500 explosions?

Wouldn't it be 10 mobs being hit by 5 explosions?
Also, the explosions don't do much damage.

I'm clearing mobs off screen similar to a javazon with 100% pierce

If you shoot down the halls of chaos sanctuary, you will easily notice which one does more.

I mean 500 damage per explosion, which is what they do unbuffed.

THIS!

Although I expected Buriza-do to be better at the planning stage, I have decided to use Demon Machine instead. I forget to enchant myself with Demonlimb sometimes, but don't feel much difference in P2 game ;-)

They do 45 damage unbuffed

lol
you added fire damage gloves in the first pic
you added an entire diablo 2 license in the second
demon machine has level 6 explosive arrow
brand has level 15 explosive arrow

may as well go talk about how op fire sorc is when you have a level 45 convic aura paladin following you around?
if you have a level 55 enchant sorc to buff you, for sure explosive arrows will be good, otherwise, they are not..
