[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Long time CA player just dropping by to say hello.

This league is quite interesting - with the changes to the game, crafting is much less popular (crafting high ES gear is no longer warranted) - and, at the same time - high life unique chests are suddenly much more in demand. The upshot is that this league looks to be potentially very rewarding for MF.

Hey I just started a char with this build and I noticed there's a gap in the passive tree after the first few points. How am I supposed to connect to the rest of the tree? (I'm looking at the scion tree). Are the trees just outdated or is that intended? Thanks.

Path of the Ranger from Scion's ascendancy allows you to start @ Ranger, hence we can skip those three points.

Until then, connect them. You'll spec out of them later.

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome guide. Having a blast in the Harbinger League.
Full MF and damage is still awesome !

And all the support gems for CA are not even lvl 20 :)

Glad you're having fun with it!

coming back to poe after a long hiatus (beta to just after maps were released) and I dont understand the builds ascendancy.

I am scion - just finished first labyrinth at level 41, and I am seeing that we only get 6 points total end game.

You state in separate areas that we get the "ranger starting area", which is going to take 4 pts itself, then you say that we go deadeye (done with that 4 pts) and occultist - which would require another 3pts.

Thats one point more than we have to use at the very end game - what am I missing please?

Very confused, but great build regardless - looking forward to mapping with it. :)

delete - errors

double post, sry

You would take projectile damage nodes in Ranger, regardless.

So you get the Ascendant passive points AND save three passives on the highway.

For the Ascendancy Passive points you will receive a total of eight. Two points are gained for each labyrinth (Normal, Cruel, Merciless, End-Game).

In the build we use all eight Ascendancy Passives. Five of these points will be used on the Ranger section, these will be used for the: 'Dex - Passive Point - Ranger(Deadeye) - Passive Point - Path of the Ranger(gaining two passives).' Three points will be used on the Witch section, these will be used for the 'Int - Passive Point - Witch(Occultist).'

While leveling connect the tree until you are able to reach 'Path of the Ranger' and connect all the way to the projectile damage starting node. Hope this helps with the Ascendancy situation, and how to treat the tree while leveling.
