[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

* Tri res leather belt
* Replace coral as you suggest
* Rare gloves with life the moment you get the second Andvarius
* Mastercraft life on that helmet. And your amulet.
* Rare tri-res chest with life instead of Carcass for now, to make res balancing easier for Drillneck / Second Andvarius
* +3 bow (obviously)

I would probably do all the other gear adjustments (belt, second ring, helmet and amulet mastercrafting) and get either a +3 bow or Drillneck first, before the second Andvarius, then grab the other of +3 or Drillneck. Prioritize +3, imho.

I consider Carcass Jack the last item to get. It's BiS but it's not as key as stacking MF and survivability (life/res).

Tree wise, drop the Frenzy charges. They're last as well. Start heading to Scion for the life / res there to help with gearing and survivability.

If you're not going to go all the way to Phase Acro, don't bother with the extra dodge nodes for now. Life is more important.

That's about all I can see quickly.

Thanks! :)

Hey! Thanks for your guide. I have a short question. Regarding to wiki the damage of th PA is based on the physical damage. So wouldn't it be better to take a bow with +1 socketed gems and high phys damage rather than +2 bow gems and 1+ socketed gems, because the +2 bow only effects the PA Gem?

No, because we're scaling the cloud damage.

That physical base you're talking about refers to the arrow itself and the damage it would deal on impacting an enemy, like a bullet.

The cloud damage operates more like a spell, in that it scales off gem levels and specific modifiers (DoT, chaos, projectile, area, global damage).

I got one Question too... Im on Flashback, lvl 78... i cant get a Drillneck, what should i aim for stats on a Quiver, and are the Piercing nodes in the Right tree nessecary if i dont use Drillneck?

Thx... Moichel

* Life, resistances
* Nope

Just read new dev manifesto (about poison mechanic) PA RIP? D:

PA is NOT changing; it just isnt getting buffed with the new poison skills; they will change the name of PA to something more fitting to the skill.

Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that they won't change PA, still. Just because they never mentioned anything about rebalancing PA, doesn't mean that they won't.

We'll have to wait about 5 weeks probably before we know for sure.

What build we can use if they nerf PA? Mb Low Life SRS or EK?
I hope PA will be fine :D
