Char name: Fakefrodo.
currently have sadimas on for iiq boost. but use rare gloves for dried lake or maps

I'm sorry for not putting it private in the first place. It should be visible now. :)

No problem.

Leather belt should be tri elemental resistance (ie, not chaos as your third res).

Carcass Jack will be difficult to run with full res balance until you get a dual resistance bow. You will either need to invest in Cloth and Chain (and quite possibly Scion resistances), or change to a rare chest in the meantime.

Your helmet is lacking in good res rolls. Your gloves are okay but could use an upgrade as well so they're both at least 35%+ with room for a mastercrafted third resistance, at least.

From there it's just jewel sockets. There's at least two you can get quickly. For best results, you're looking for a jewel with either res all or a duo-res (same affix, like a two-stone implicit) affix + your damage/life rolls.

In other words, just a matter of some gear upgrades and levels and you should be good. Looking like minimum two gear upgrades and 7 levels to get your resistances balanced to work with Carcass.

This is basically the reason I leave Carcass Jack as last in the gear upgrades list. Because it doesn't offer a great res-all roll, it's difficult to get working and keep res capped without purity.

That said, strictly from an MF standpoint if all you're going to be doing is running low level maps, you don't really NEED to have Grace up, so that should help out with avoiding Cloth and Chain and instead investing in life nodes and running Purity for a while. I leave that up to you. You're level 83 so there's still a relatively easy 7 levels ahead of you.

If it were me, I'd swap to a rare chest for now to make res balance easier, allowing for faster life/jewel nodes and leaving Grace up.

All in all you're well on your way =)

Deadeye brings crit, accuracy, and attack speed. Not really useful for this build. It only profits from the additional arrow and projectile damage + pierce afaik. Caustic arrow doesnt seem to benefit from most Deadeye stats. Maybe im missing something?
