[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

BTW... status update.

Thanks for the wicked build and all the advice, Serleth. Not many threads I've read through 367 pages of and found most of it worthwhile.

Gear is still the same as the last time I posted, but since then I've knocked out all 40 challenges, level 94, level capped my masters, and I have 13ex pure in the bank plus another 50ex in goods and lower level currencies.

All this while taking a 10 day break for a vacation in the middle of the league to take the family to Disneyland.

This build rocks. I've paired with a bunch of folks to run maps, and with 25k tooltip, I'm easily holding my own against single target builds with orders of magnitude higher dps.

I'm legitimately impressed you've read through 367 pages.

Glad you're having fun with it =)

(And it all begins again sometime in the next 2-ish weeks. 2.3 league announcement coming later this week).

Thanks for your opinions on that matter. I will 6l it, though i probably won't be able to afford that in the remaining two or three weeks of this league.

Forget about the rest that stood here prior to editing this. :-)

Whoop, two more Ascendency points.

Path of the Ranger incoming.

What will change? Back to ranger now? :( Dps nerf?

We are probability going to be screwed in 2.3 due to chaos nerf :(

Won't know for sure until patch notes, but no

NOT back to Ranger.

Two more Ascendency points allows us to get "Path of the Ranger" after we grab Deadeye. Gives us +1 passive point, and the ability to allocate passives from Ranger start. Net gain will be at least 2 passive points, I'll have to do some planning.

Chaos nerf (as far as we know) is for chaos CONVERSION, not chaos damage in general. So we should be fine.

Gonna be rolling CA as my first toon next league - it's been awhile since I've played CA and it should be really fun; last league I tried various builds planning on making at least one of them into a good MF toon but nothing really worked out.

Just read the 2.3 announcement - looks pretty interesting.

'Elo guys :)

I'm back right in time for the savy hype-train to 2.3 it seems!

Glad you got your 40s done too!
All in all Perandus was fun but I'll be dwelling in the random prophecies it seems. From the very vague change announcements, CA will be spared. But keep in mind that they silently raise / reduce item droprates on the fly, which will affect availability and prices, and that we will only find out after the start most likely.

Let's help Ser while we await 2.3, aye? =)

A sincere thanks to Serleth and all of the others who regularly post to answer questions, provide anecdotes, and just general encouragement in the completion of challenges. I really appreciate the work that goes into the thread, and the active group who work to maintain it. I have been playing some form of magic find poison arrow/caustic arrow since the 2.0 launch, and this thread has been a beacon of light for the entire duration. With the league in a lull while the Perandus Flashback is going on, and before we start to get too much information on Prophecy I wanted to take this opportunity to share thanks, and introduce myself to the thread.

My level of ‘complete’ for this character is not the same level of Min/Max that I see in a lot of the regular posters upgrade topic, and I usually reduce my overall MF by continuing to look for fishing rods. But, I still have a lot of fun playing this character, tend to find enough to fund the random things I am looking to do including full challenges in Talisman and here in Perandus (I just need to use two ID scrolls to be done). Which I think speaks volumes for how well this is put together and the solid theory and math everything is built on.

So again a big thanks to Serleth for keeping the top posts updated and current. And similar thanks to Chronodroid, Hankinshol, and Hvakhshathra for additional questions answered and enthusiasm for the build. I might start posting more, now that I am all caught up on the thread, and plan on running the character again in Prophecy. If I do post more, my apologies in advance for the addition of another Chrono.
