[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I'm still leveling and really have bugger all wealth so far but enjoying the build immensely :)

I'm not using blood rage just yet but was wondering if it would be worthwhile using this gem now to cover the degen issue and take advantage of all those nice Frenzy charges. Is the downside likely to be too much of a problem?

Though, that does bring up another question: Goldwyrm gives nice mana regen and fire res, but on low regen maps I find that running Clarity is pretty much necessary to keep my tempo going anyway, and Clarity without Goldwyrm works just fine as well. This brings me to wonder if, once we finish the full build (Carcass+Drillneck+2x Andys), would it be better to run Sadima's instead of Goldwyrm and grab some rare boots? You lose 4 IIQ at most, but if your mana regen and res are fine from other gear/jewels, you could gain 20 movespeed.


Not saying Goldwyrm's defenses are amazing, but at least that 100 or so eva provides something. Sadima provides nothing.

You can quicksilver your way through most maps, non-stop. I leave the choice up to you but that extra 4% quant to me is worth more than 20% move speed.

I don't think so, at least not once you pick up Acro + 3/4/3 dodge %. I just don't think it'd be enough on its own as a jewel to warrant using in an MF spec. Smart flask rolls and usage covers off Blood Rage nicely.

2 divines later. Now at 32/170; can't wait for a second to bring me over 200 IIR. Funnily enough, due to PA not benefiting from rare quivers at all and the inability for rare quivers to roll IIR (thus causing me to prioritize IIR on a ring instead of resists), I'd actually lose more res by buying a Drillneck than a second Andy.

How are your jewels looking? It's not too hard to find one with two damage affixes for 1c, but I can't seem to find any with three damage affixes (or two and life/res).

At the request of the dude just above you, I updated the gear spoiler with my current gear, including jewels.

Finally got the 5L. Now I should be able to do the higher maps for sure now. Not sure on what I want to do next. Think I will go for 2nd andys probably.
My first status report:

I have started mapping and I am having a blast, sitting at level 72. Just got my +2 5L, so I slotted IIR in it. 12/129 is my current MF stats (before bow IIR) and things are starting to get going finally. Now I aim for that first Andvarius, some 5ex beyond from where I am right now.

I also found this beauty of a jewel. I was lacking cold res for a 41% rarity helmet, so it was a very good roll for me atm:

OP makes an MF build.

Mjolner and Shavs drop for build users.

Great success! =D

Gratz Bear!
