[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I'm wondering if going Scion Deadeye + Berserker would work. You would get 10% more dmg and 1.5% of dmg leeched as life (not sure if the leech actually works). The down side would be that you take 5% increased dmg but don't know if thats too dangerous.

* We don't leech
* We don't benefit from attack speed (technically we do, we can attack faster, but we don't actually see a benefit from it since we fire arrows and wait)
* 10% more damage is nice BUT

Occultist:

* 20% increased damage if a cursed enemy is killed in the last 4 seconds
* Cursed enemies have -15% chaos resistance.

-res is basically like saying "15% more damage" - so not only does our damage beat Berzerker's for multiplier, it also gives us an increased damage benefit.


The only other dual class to consider imho is Trickster

* 30% increased life, mana, es recovery if killed an enemy affected by DoT in last 4 seconds
* 20% more chance to Evade while on full ES
* 20% increased damage while not on full ES
* 100% increased mana regen if used a movement skill in last four seconds.


Basically your options come down to Offense (Occultist) or Defense (Trickster) for the second Scion Ascendant class.

Tree's going to need some reworking though.

Deadeye removes the need for Piercing Shots. We get 50% pierce chance from that alone + 10% from Drillneck, leaving us only 5% below our current Pierce increased damage %, + the 10% proj damage from that wheel (15% total)

Occultist basically covers this for us as long as we're cursing, but that's a lot of extra points to spend as well. It's like getting a free jewel, minimum.

Are you gonna rewrite the guide or too much work? It's kinda partly outdated by now anyways

Ty for your answer Serleth.

I'm bit new to all the theorycrafting so was just wondering if it works... And im really bad at keeping the curse up :D. REally hate manual cursing. But mostlikely i'll end up going Occultist anyways if i play Scion.

Hey, I remember someone talking about a crafting service earlier in the thread, but finding it in the 300 pages is challenging. Are they worth using? Is there one anyone would recommend?

Only the levelling guide and loot filter is out of date, and even that is partially updated.

I will of course be rewriting the core of the guide once patch notes and the JSON are released. I will do my best to provide a better levelling process as well.

If required, I always find crafting services on a league-by-league basis, but typically I just do rotations and craft things myself.

I will do my best to get Catarina and Elreon up to level 8 as soon as possible so that I can craft your bows for you in the Perandus league, free of charge.

As do I, which is why I made it dual purpose with the Frenzy CoH setup: get charges and curse up at the same time.

With the extra points gained not having to grab Piercing Shots, it should be possible to run a level 5-10 Clarity, pick up Charisma, and run Blasphemy + Vuln alongside Grace with ~100 mana left over if you want that as an option. Problem is the radius of Blaspehmy won't cover more range-y kiting situations and it will necessitate that you play the build almost as a melee character.

I'm not looking that far ahead yet! :) I'm considering getting my 6L bow crafted to +3 in the current league, as it's looking like I won't have my masters up to level 8 in the next week.

I'd be a lot further along if I hadn't taken a month out of Talisman to go cruising in the Caribbean. OTOH, it was totally worth it to go to the Caribbean.

Ah. Well, there's less than a week left. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it.

If there's any downtime between Talisman and Perandus, I'll be happy to craft it for you in Standard.

Thanks Serleth, I'll see if I make it that long. :)

Hey Serleth,


After completing the challenge for all div cards, I decided to throw an alch on my "chains that bind" turn in, and I got a decent result. (Yup this was off only 1 alch).




Thing is, I can't for the life of me figure out what would actually help me in the 6th link!
I considered using Doedre's Damning along with Temporal chains or projectile weakness, but I can't imagine when I would actually use that since I would never take off one of my Andvarius rings just to gain 1 curse that only marginally helps me.

Pierce probably doesn't help since we are chaining anyways.

At the moment I'm just thinking faster attacks?

Any other ideas?

Thanks!


edit: I guess LMP couldn't hurt? It's not like I care about the damage anyways.
hmmm...if I could get the socket colors putting my flame golem in there would be really neat too.
