[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

hi, plz excuse my english, but because of this new scion build, could you give a quick run down of the levelling progression? is it still rush to entropy/growth and decay? Also, i plan to be running this build in HC do you think Occultist/Deadeye current scion tree youve provided be fine for HC?

I'll be working on the levelling process.

You'll probably want to go Shadow - Trickster for HC. It's much more defensive, in particular with the extra 5/5 dodge/spell dodge. In which case you basically follow the same levelling progression as before.

To modify builds for HC you basically just drop damage for life and, in this case, Phase Acro as well.

Scion levelling sketch is up. Second post of the thread.

Remember you'll need the offline planner linked earlier / main post (top section) in order to view the various stages.

So I have recently started playing again, and was interested in a Trickster version of this build.

So I basically tried to create a skill tree, but I kinda allocated a bit more nodes than I should. So i'm just wondering if you could check it out if I shared it to you, so you could tell me what I should drop on the tree? It would be much appreciated.

Working on a Trickster tree right now, check back soon.

EDIT: Here's the Trickster tree, which I've also left on the OP in the first section.

That said, unless you're playing Hardcore, there's no reason to do this build as Shadow for 2.2. I can't in good conscience recommend it. The only other reason you'd play it as Shadow is because you have a preference for the class itself.

EDIT EDIT: For those who are playing Hardcore and want a levelling process for Trickster, I'm hoping to have one up for tomorrow but it's nothing that's all that different from how you would have done it in 2.1, if you levelled as Shadow for Talisman.

It'll basically be the same principle as the Scion levelling process, just the progression will be different due to the starting point, obviously.

Gems will be the same though: Firestorm + Flame/Searing Totem / Fire Trap -- or Orb of Storms + Spark / Lit Tendrils.

Grats Serleth; and thanks for all the hard work you put into this thread - it's informative, and maybe best of all, friendly and fun.
=================

I took a superficial look at the upcoming league challenges - they seem very similar to the Talisman challenges.

As in Talisman there are a few high level content challenges upcoming such as "Clear Maps With 8 Mods" (will require a T15 full clear) and "Clear Twinned Maps" (will also require a T15 map).

Just wondering... did anyone complete the T15 challenges from last league using a Caustic Arrow build of some sort? I like completing the challenges on my own and it would be nice to do them with a single character; I usually end up rolling some sort of magic find build though and then something for high level content (although Bladefall was so OP last league that you could both MF and clear high content with numerous BF builds).

Hey guys. What about picking scion's slayer instead of occultist? This will give us flat 30% damage increase against rares and uniques (the type of mobs we struggle to deal with). Plus it will make us less depended on curse (easier non cruse maps) and need to kill recently. Though we will lose that cool 40 int node in scion's ascendancy tree. What do you think?

Have you found any useful enchants so far? I am guessing the helm slot is taken by the 8% increased radius one. And then like movespeed if you haven't been hit recently on boots

So I haven't read the last few pages, but is there any way that we know FOR SURE that Ranger's Far Shot doesn't work, while Scion's does?

I mean, could this be a phrasing issue? Should we be emailing Bex and asking?

Or should I be trying to grind up a Scion in these last 2 days (standard)?

Btw the one with 8 Mods just requires you to do 10 out of the 15, so you can just do tier 1-10, which should be fairly easy.
