[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
|
Thank you serleth for this awesome build. I Started out using this build and it gradually changed to my own that I made a build guide for and I don't know if it's because I included your name in it but it's getting a bit of attention so thank you <3

I loved this build while leveling, but sitting at level 85, I only have 7.8k unbuffed cloud DPS...and that's including the bonuses from jewels.
Gets up to 10k with Golem and 6 Frenzy charges, but reading through the replies and seeing people talking about how they have like 10k+ unbuffed, makes me wonder...am I doing something wrong? Or am I just missing the luxurious +3 bow.

" From what I have read, somehow, PA damage over time scales with physical damage. Is this true? If so, your bow has a very low amount of physical damage. Could this be the reason? Also, yes, from what I have read, PA damage goes up an insane amount after you surpass level 20 on the gem. So, if you have +3 from your bow and +2 from empower, then you have a level 25 PA which is ridiculous. :) Of course, I only started learning about PA this weekend so I could be completely wrong. heh |

"PA does not scale with physical damage. The Tooltip will but what matters is how much it says Damage over time. Damage over time, damage modifier's such as more damage, and projectile speed/damage scale it more than most things. Also yes, more levels the better :) Last edited by Alexthefake#4685 on Aug 17, 2015, 1:00:55 PM

Where do you see the damage over time, is that in the tool tip as well?
Edit: Also, if the phys damage does not scale the DoT then my infractem is really only good for the %100 pierce chance which is nice really for my Frenzy/curse on hit/Vulnerability setup. The "Cannot leech" part really does suck though. Hmmm... Wish I could afford a +3 bow. Edit edit: And also, why is drillneck good then if we don't care about pDPS?

"When you hover over the tool tip, under it it will say _____ chaos damage per second. THAT is the damage that matters. You and me both XD Drillneck damage does the same thing that frenzy charge more damage does (Sort of) so the more pierce chance the MORE damage you get from it meaning, well more damage. Also, I don't believe infractem scales the damage of drillneck. Last edited by Alexthefake#4685 on Aug 17, 2015, 1:08:55 PM

Ahh, thanks for answering those questions. It looks like I need to let loose my death grip on the Infractem then and find another bow. I happen to have a very low level +1 to Bow gems that I started using when I made the switch to PA in my early 30's. I guess I will go back to that.

"If you have a couple chaos, just go for something like this: That's my current bow at level 70 and the added level is super helpful. I bought this and master crafted lightning res cause that's what I was low on but to each their own. But +2 is an EXTREME upgrade over +1 (For some reason) Also, the added fire doesn't give anything helpful, I just needed a cheap, 4l, +2 bow with a resistance.
