So which guide is better? Just seen that Brittleknee has two Caustic arrow builds.

There is only one guide, maybe on different sites, but only 1 guide.

Yep. You are right. I had just woken up and... yea lol


Edit: how does this build feel mapping before you get the gloves?

How do we fit cluster jewels in CI version? Do we skip them altogether? Couldn't find it on PoB.

There are just a few passives mentioned by bk in the OP, you can do your own thing from there, cluster jewels are way too individual.

Here's my take on clusters in that build: https://pastebin.com/649Ynb2f

Trying a new megalomaniac:

Eye to Eye
25% increased Projectile Damage
35% increased Projectile Damage with Hits against Nearby Enemies
(Applies to CA Dot!)

Brush with Death
+10% to Damage over Time Multiplier
Recover 1% of Life on Kill
Recover 1% of Energy Shield on Kill

Wicked Pall
35% increased Chaos Damage
20% increased Skill Effect Duration

The explosions from unspeakable gifts didn't do that much, so i left it out again.

As BK's mod I can assure that any copies on other sites are not authorized. The are various rip-offs unfortunately.

I did it this way:
+1 Chaos/dex are prefixes, Malevolence a suffix, so i had a cleaned base with only those 2 mods, so i crafted a random 3rd prefix on bench, slammed 2 times (2ex) and prayed. No luck? Craft prefixes cant be changed (2ex), scour and retry. Hit Int and Malevolence, crafted ES, really can't complain.

How did u get that base with +2?
alt spamming + regal + annul or fossil crafting?

Was casually chaos spamming another base, since both mods are weighted quite rare (200 and 250 i think) i didn't expect anything, but yeah ofc, I rolled over it (No guarantee for success, probably annuls needed, but still wtf). After that, I had the option to throw my computer out of the window or buy a cleaned base for 40ex. I went for the latter.

If you do it yourself i probably would go for alt regal, but expect a LOT of tries.

How does this build feel in simulacrums?

Mainly those last few waves.

Iam struggling very hard at wave 19-20. My caustic arrow is only lvl 29 and the mobs dont die quickly enough. Mabybe with 2 or 3 more gemlevels its going well, but thats excessivly expensive.
And with doubleboss in wave 20 i only get up to max. 4 rewards mostly.



to nfin1te:
i gave up spamming a base after ~12000 alts. To get the single stats isnt very hard but to hit the second mod is nearly impossible :-(
