[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
|
Depending on your luck (in drops and in crafting) I, for example, bought my +3 bow instead of crafting it as I literally can tilt and bitch about crafting if it doesn't go my way :) So don't be afraid to spend 2-5 exa on a great 5link +3 bow (6link bows are a different story later - not that you cannot make 15K DPS with 5 links). But if you decide to with crafting make sure you know how to be efficient about it.

oh absolutely, I want either chest or bow to be 6L when I start doing maps though so if I can use iron reflex and my astral plate I will do that, if not I will just spend 2ex ish for a cheap 6L bow to craft on I suppose (:

" Thanks, man! Means a lot =) Evasion nodes will still scale evasion gear even though you take IR so it's important that you focus on Evasion gear as much as possible. We don't take a whole lot in terms of Eva % defense nodes (mostly coming out of ranger start) but it's still beneficial. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Been playing this build for a couple of days now, I'm only level 50 using the EK/FT levelling but so far it's really fun!. I'm just crushing everything which makes a good change. Looking forward to making the switch over at 64 like you recommend.
I've now got a 60 Chaos budget, it's not much but hopefully I can get some good starting gear ready for the switch :) IGN: Xelciah ¦ Looking For Guild, Standard - EU.

How am I doing so far? Level 85. 12k dps buffed, 6 frenzy.
Anything I can improve? Obviously I am saving for a drillneck, then carcass/goldwrym. While trying to 6l another maraketh bow. The bow I have I crafted and cost about 3ex to make. Gear

Tree Thanks! Last edited by Rufus66 on Aug 31, 2015, 12:30:53 AM

" * Until you get Drillneck, the two points you have heading toward Piercing Shots are unnecessary. Throw those into the as-yet-untaken Jewel slot next to Method to the Madness. * Gloves – Get Sadima's Touch instead while waiting for Goldwyrm and grab a rare leather belt (dropping Perandus Blazon). You'll get better IIQ and more life / better resistance balance (for affordability, grab a dual res belt with an open suffix, craft the missing resistance). * All your other slots: don't have IIR. Fix that. Right now you're at 7/28 * The extra jewel slot you take will allow you to tweak your res balance as required in order to make getting IIR elsewhere easier, in conjunction with improving your damage. If for whatever reason you find you're struggling with resistances (doesn't look like you are), you can still get a dual- or tri-res quiver. * You're also somehow missing life on your amulet and two-stone ring. Fix that, too. You should easily be able to run gold amulets and rings with life, resistance, and some explicit IIR without issues regarding res balance. I would also drop Blood Dance for IIR / res / life / MS boots, unless you're using those specifically to push levels. At the end of the re-gearing you should have no issues getting 16/150, which will make gearing everything else tons easier and faster. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

if I may? I don't mean to butt in or anything but maybe aim for a slightly higher evasion on chest, I was able to craft a 1400 evasion chest for 4c, it might not be the highest on your prio list but it might be helpful. I also wanted to add a question, in most of the IIR builds they have certain limitations, such as low level maps only or certain zones, I get the feeling this isnt the case with this build? Mind if I ask, how high have you done comfortably with this build? (: Last edited by Chridian on Aug 31, 2015, 6:06:34 AM

One quick question:
Do you guys usually identify all rares and sell for 1c/1regal. Or do you go for the unidentified 2c/2regal. I dont get the estimated 0.3 ex/hr working with my 29/141 (200 with culling) setup. Don't know how to link my gear, but my profile is not private. I'm overcapped in res, 4.2k life. I farmed with IIR boots instead of the goldwyrms until now (13/180) and the results were okish, but not 0.3ex/hr. I only used the identified chaos and regal recipes. Appreciate any tips.

" Good point re: the chest. As for meeps, can do 81s, comfortably. Can do Abyss and Colosseum 82s, with swap gear for bosses. @ben_hure: ilvl 60-71: unid chaos ilvl 72-74: id chaos ilvl 75+: id regal (always identified). Reason for that is t2 res roll starts at ilvl 72. As for 0.3/hr, of course you wouldn't. You're only halfway geared. You can expect more like 0.15-0.2 @ 13/180. The estimated per hour income rate is assuming you're at 20/300 or better. Also, they did a wholesale change of default privacy settings. Your characters are now private.

For solo mapping, what would be the best MF support gem, a 20/20 Item rarity gem, or 20/20 item quantity? (standard only, obviously) I tend to favor quantity, but not sure?
