[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Most useful 300 page thread I've read!

Hmmm, is deadeye the go-to ascendancy for this? Or is it Deadeye + Occultist Scion? Or considering it's going for max frenzy, what about an avatar of slaughter raider? I think raider spec might burn through too much mana with how fast it attacks, though.

We don't need attack speed at all. An extra frenzy charge is only 4% more damage.

If you go to the OP of the guide, I allude to why the Occultist/Deadeye Scion is the best option unless you're in HC, including why Ranger Deadeye is almost a bit of a waste compared to the Scion hybrid version.

I try a new build every league, but I have to say this might be the first time I will repeat one!

I created my own spin-off of your build, but at the core it is quite similar.

I've been searching the class forums for something comparable, but nothing comes close to the versatility of this build - clear speed, magic find, and survivability.

With my version of this build, I could quickly clear a T13 map with zero issues, and still have enough MF to come back with 6 inventories of rares.


Props to you for building something this successful, and grats on 300 pages!

I'll see you in Perandus league as a CA-Scion!

Thanks, Nick!

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.
