[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Things are starting to snowball:


I bit the bullet and sold fuse at 4:1 in order to buy the Goldwyrms for 8c; drops starting coming much faster with the Nubricks and Item Rarity gem. Got lucky and dropped an exalt which funded the Andvarius.

Best start so far magic finding in the leagues I've played.

How do we get from 90% to 100% pierce? I have Deadeye Ascendancy, Drillneck, and the 50% piercing shots wheel, but I'm not sure where my other 10% comes from, any help?

The ways to hit 100% since the changes to the Ascendant is to either using the Pierce Support, or the Poacher's Aim quest jewel. I am not sure if either is worth it in the MF setup.

Does the 90% feel a lot different compared to the 100% in the 2.2 patch?

Another approach is to use the Pierce gem and take the first pierce node (it's 10$) in the Piercing Shots wheel.

But yeah... there may be better nodes to take and just live with 90% pierce.

I'm using a poachers aim

Why do you need Path of the Ranger if u can took rangers points anyway?

i dont see any difference in my evade chance either on full/no full energy shield. where is my shade form last passive O_O

Does far shot (from deadeye) work with CA? If there is a mob right in front of you, and you shoot far past it triggering the cloud from pierce, does that close mob take the 30% inc damage?

To provide three extra passive points to use on the skill tree. This equates to extra evasion and a jewel socket in the duelist area of the tree.

I'm not playing shadow, so no direct help here, but check out the bug forums and see if anything has been reported.

The wording on Far Shot for Ranger is 'Projectile Attack,' so unfortunately this has no effect on the CA cloud at all. I think the Scion version also has no effect on the cloud, but I am not completely sure (the wording is less obvious to me).

Thanks, Chrono.

To clarify for the Ascendant-Deadeye, yes, Scion's version of Far Shot does benefit the CA damage. Like you alluded to, the word "Attacks" is the key difference.

What's the recommended bow base for transition? Is APS the only thing that really matters?
