[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Are you not running a frenzy - vulnerability - curse on hit setup? Trying to see where i can fit a wither/spell totem setup at and that is the only thing i can think of getting rid of.

" Not at the moment, which is why the gems section is under construction again. Just doing manual curses at the moment. I'm going to have to rework some things around once I finish the build again and see what's going on exactly. Don't have the gems available in Standard and really don't feel like reworking a built character that much. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

What are your gem links if you don't mind me asking? Just curious what you're running with at the moment.

" Bare bones right now. CA in the usual setup, ED with CD - VM - RD, manual vulnerability, spell totem + wither. Also using a Searing Bond - RD - IBD for tankier bosses to add more DoT. The lack of linked stuff is largely because I spend the absolute minimal amount crafting my gear until I get both Andvarius rings + Goldwyrm + Drillneck + everything else res balanced. Then I start working on other stuff. I happen to be using an armour chest right now, hence Searing Bond is back in play for me. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Also I'm having mana issues right now, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hey man, I have been playing with this build and im loving it! I just have a few questions.
I decided after hitting 58 to read this forum post starting on the last page and go back wards for a bit and i see people talking about essence drain? I also was running the totem set up for wither. This leads me to wonder what all spell setups you are NOW using instead of what the guide says. 5L or 6L CA is a given, 4L wither totem, 5L or 6L GMP frenzy, so that leaves 2 4L left. Assuming blood rage/duration/golem/blink arrow somewhere in there, what am i missing? And also, what is the purpose in Vaal Lightning trap? Sorry if my questions are noobish, just trying to clarify :) Thanks again! | |
" Need more info. Namely, your tree and whether you're running Clarity and if so, what level. " Literally just discussed that, and the fact that I'm figuring out what to take and what to drop, above. VLT is for the shocked ground. Increases enemies' damage taken. Same reason we use Wither/Vuln. So, yeah. I need probably to the end of the week to sort out the new final gem setup.

Oh sorry, I went with the shadow tree currently level 70 and yes i am running a level 10 clarity right now. Using a mana pot here and there for when i have the mana issues.
Here is my current tree, also having a little survivability issues. You think it's cause i went acrobatics instead of iron reflexes? https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwYAsNii2cgU9W9qjBa_JpVh4lVLtNHIDHaCtUjrYxEvAx4fQTY9napsjGKsVYWlyxvIz93xiuOEDki3MBQJE20miBGWBx6VLvDVSVGP-lxAh8unm3WezxW0xcLsKlt59kM2BbUajVsmjb_UI-jWIurDOong5liTH0kTGYqXBsSiu-P-un11037veu4Oo4oj9k2S-WOVzFT-veb2oxUgLYMZtL6ndcvqYre2jX5DMdrBdO0FLXrv Last edited by Skaithakk on Dec 15, 2015, 1:22:29 AM

I'm guessing you're around 2.8-3.2k life. That's your survivability problem, not acro/ir.
I'm also guessing you don't have Drillneck yet, which means Piercing shots isn't necessary. And unless you have a jewel available you shouldn't be heading to that socket above Acro. Also, you should save Frenzy charges (and jewel sockets, unless you have decent jewels, for last (mho), at least until you get your survivability up anyway. So I'm assuming that the jewel socket you've taken above Blood Drinker actually has a jewel in it. Otherwise with the above changes (pulling out of Piercing shots, two leading proj nodes heading into jewel, 1 node heading into ranger jewel, and the frenzy charges), you recover 10 points. That gets you three points into the Scion life wheel. That'll bring your life up from 108% to 132%. That should bring you up to around 3.6k life which will make your existence a shitload easier. So there's your survivability issue solved. Your mana issues are a direct result of not having Soul Siphon or Mana Flows, and that's just levels. You should have that covered by level 77-79 (finishes off Scion Life wheel, grabs both Mana Flows & Soul Siphon). From there, it's jewels and Frenzy charges. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" Correct i'm at 3.1k life and no drillneck yet, and yes i have an 11% chaos damage and 12% projectile damage jewel above blood drinker. Thank you for the help. |
