[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I feel really squishy being level 70 right now. Any advice on what sort of gear or passives to head for?









I know I need to fix up my flasks.

Right now the only frenzy node I grabbed was the one that also gives the extra evasion. Eventually plan to grab those, but I haven't been using frenzy all that much (I was while leveling, but lately I've been experimenting with ice shot instead of frenzy for my "barrel breaker").

Despite having some nice gear, some of those was just luck/trades (basically traded a Whispering Ice for my Drillneck). If/when I get 2 exalted, plan to get the +1 to my bow. I have some higher MF boots, but the movement speed really bothers me, so I am wearing those.

My guess is your life is probably around 3-3.5k. That's why the squish. And your gear isn't helping on that front: you're missing life on boots and a ring.

Use a leather belt instead of Perandus. You don't need that much IIQ while you have Greed's Embrace up along with Sadima's. You don't have the IIR to make the extra 7% from the belt worthwhile.

Drop the Frenzy charge you've taken (for now) and grab the life node after Golem's blood + Shadow life, then Scion life.

You've focused too much on damage and MF without focusing on survivability to offset the gear choices you've made. Go survival mode (completely dropping MF gear if you have to) and push somewhere to 79-81 to at least pick up Constitution in Scion and the aforementioned Shadow and duelist life nodes. If the jewel sockets you've taken don't have life, either get life jewels or temporarily spec out of those nodes until you're less squish. Then grab them again later.

Hey little update on the build Im level 65 and feel a little squishy its prolly cause of my life and i know that ive got to head for scion life nodes im like 8 points away from them so its not going to be that long. But my damage doesnt feel that good.



Thats all my gear im at 3.7k hp so its not that bad at this level. I stil lhave the whole life wheel to get so yeah. My pa does around 3.8k dps with frenzy charges and it clears white/blue mods kind of ok but rares and unique bosses take so long lol. What should i do to start upgrading? i know i have to get a drillneck and a +3 but how am i suposed to get those expensive items on this new char?

Farm.

Get Andvarius.

Get Goldwyrm.

Get second Andvarius.

Oh look you just afforded the Bow and Drillneck in maybe 20 hours after getting MF gear sorted.

=D

Would you consider andvarius or goldwyrm more important to start with? Andvarius I guess since you posted in that order? I currently just have sadima's+perandus and IIR rares. I think my total IIR just around ~110 maybe

I've finally got 2ex saved up and was thinking of making a +3 bow (and praying I wont need a 3rd exa). Just havent been able to 5/6-link it yet. But on the other hand I could use that 2ex to try and get either goldwyrm or andvarius...

It's just that my ~9000dps (without frenzy charges) is starting to feel a bit low in lvl74+ maps.

In the order I posted, yes. IIR is more important than IIQ, but once you have some decent IIR, it's equally as important to start scaling it with IIQ. That's why it's staggered Andy > Goldy > Andy.

Hi Sir, dropped this nice bow with 6sockets and with 10alts i rolled those suffixes, it´s worth for rolling? (lv8 Catarina +1 socketed gems and later InC.DOT)

Yes

So first off, thanks for the Build!! I have been having a ton of fun with it and its single-handedly gotten me back into this game again after many a league. I have been lurking for a while, but seeing as how you are just awesome at answering newbish questions, I thought I would ask a few that have been on my mind and see if there is any upgrades anyone recommends. Sorry if they have been asked, this thread is getting long.

First off questions:

1.What is the ideal map level per level for best exp? I.E. at 82, what is the lowest map I can do and still get good exp? I assume there is a spreadsheet somewhere but I am having trouble finding it.

2. For jewels, is Projectile damage, DoT, Chaos Damage, damage %, and area damage % completely equal in the damage they give? As in if you had a jewel with the max roll of each, would the damage increase be the same?

3. Are the crafting services to be trusted, or anyone on this page doing a crafting service? Been saving up for a 6 link, and it seems cheaper to pay a few ex in craft fees so I can get the sexy +move speed bow as a base. Buying a pre crafted one tends to add like 20ex to 30ex to the price for a multi mod one, and my cata is no where near level 8.


Gearing + tree

I read the post a few earlier, and I have been having the same squish problem, under 4K life, I get insta-gibbed. If I read it right, I should just spec out of all the frenzy charges and just take the Sion life nodes. Is there any thing else needed or that I can do to not get killed and is that the best bet? I have also been thinking about dropping the MF for a bit and picking up some step boots and life rings, but im just so used to the MF at this point and starting to break into 77 maps. Also I have been using vaal grace. It helps....a bit? Been thinking about a CWDT with IC as well but not sure how much of a difference that will make.
