[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" Projectile damage, chaos damage, area damage, global damage and damage over time all scale the cloud damage equally. In other words, 10% projectile damage is the same as picking up 10% chaos damage for CA. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" Hey Serleth, can you share your current gear? Curious how you have 6.5 tooltip dps and 4k life at lvl73... I'm 83 with 3400 life and 2363 tooltip damage with all 7 charges up and fire golem. | |
"Err... are you looking at the DPS rating at the top, or the Deals XXX chaos damage per second in the description? I'm sitting at 5722 chaos damage per second, and I'm only level 68. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD
Feel free to message me in game if I'm on. |

Oh I was looking at the DPS rating at the top... 10435 if I look at the Deals xxx Damage. Weird, if I swap out IIR for chaos damage, my DPS goes up, but the Deals xxx Damage doesn't change.
Guess I don't understand those numbers very well. And still wanna see Serleth's gear :) Last edited by saxisa on Mar 11, 2016, 2:13:45 AM

" Added chaos damage (gem) doesn't scale the cloud. It's a flat damage modifier that requires a hit. That's why you'll see it increase the "usual" place you look for the dps, because it's adding the flat damage to the min-max physical of the bow itself.

Playing pretty casual this league so far. Five maps a day pretty much, so my equipment's not as robust as it usually is by this point (normally I'm fully geared other than a 6L after a week). Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Mar 11, 2016, 2:34:43 AM

" This is why I don't like posting my tree or gear as I'm progressing. I have a very deliberate way of doing things that's more complex than what I think is appropriate to cover in the guide. The posted tree in the OP is accurate and the one you should follow. What I'm going to do with the next six levels is start crafting or buying jewels, and connect from Herbalism up to Blood Drinker. Once I do that, I'm going to spec out of the pathing between Shadow and Ranger, and move all those points into the remaining jewel slots to cover off the damage difference from removing Method to the Madness. In total, these are 9 points that I'm shifting, and I need to make up 54% damage. Three of those points go into the jewel slot next to Acrobatics, giving me 8% projectile damage en route to that socket. Two points go into the jewel socket in Shadow, above Blood Drinker. Two points go into the jewel socket in Duelist Two points go into the jewel socket in Ranger. This allocates all the 9 points from that respec. Meaning, with 9 points I have 8% damage and four jewel sockets to make up 46% damage. Therefore, I need each jewel to have an average of 11.5% total damage to cover off the loss of Method to the Madness. In addition, I can grab life, or resistances, with these jewel sockets. What this process allows me to do is forgo the necessity of spending currency on jewels early in order to cover 54% damage that I would otherwise be missing. I can instead spend that currency on a +3 bow, Andvarius rings, Goldwyrm, or Drillneck. I used to explain this process, providing pre- and post-jewel tree options but I kept getting questions about which tree should be followed and people were confused, so I removed it, and it's precisely why I didn't want to post my current PSC tree. But, people kept asking. So there it is, and there's the explanation. ***** @ T_Speed: Yes. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Mar 11, 2016, 5:04:38 AM

" I tried merciless run again today at level 83. Izaro is a joke, I defeated him twice. However a wrong move in next area and thank you, come again! I still suck at this game! Edit: I have a question that is not directly related to the build if you don't mind. If you have a shot at a unique item (say Zana's find a unique) will you get a rarer unique or a chance for a better role of same/similar unique? Thanks again.

" It's a dice roll. IIRC, unique items are rolled randomly, first rolling based on rarity (normal, magic, rare, unique) then on base type. Source of that unique drop is irrelevant (Cadiro notwithstandng, I'm not sure how that works). But in your example of the Zana mission, the same rules apply as though you find a unique randomly while mapping. There's no increased chance of achieving any particular unique type or rarity.
