So going the pierce damage nodes will have a big effect? I had a feeling they wouldn't have a big impact so I've been waiting to do those last (naive of me). Yeh my gem is only at 18. I might buy a 20 corrupted then re-level my 20 one at 20% qual.
Thats actually a really good idea.. Then i wont have the INT issues either. Thanks, you guys are really helpful!!
Oh yes, the 100% pierce is crazy. It's so good it feels like cheating. :D

I am currently stuck. My goal is to farm Void battery, and then later on Skyforth.
Void battery is 100% achievable I know.
The thing is, I want to use my CA char to farm that currency for my "main".
1.How much more currency do I need to invest into my CA to get to a point where any further upgrade would only be optimization? Basically how much more until I can use him as farm char and any upgrade is a small % increase in farm time/enabler for higher tier maps.
2.Whats the best course of farming? Getting bunch of arenas then running to bosses and culling them?
3.How fast can I hope to get Void battery (4 ex=4*80c)?
Careful, building one of these to fund another character often results in THIS character becoming your main. :D
The currency required to build one of these into a farming machine is minimal. You need a +2 5 link bow, which is a couple chaos, if that. You'll spend a few chaos on gloves and helm. Boots really should be Goldwyrms, which will run you 20+ chaos, up to an exalt for a perfect set. A couple Andy rings will cost ~2ex, but those are your only big expense. You can make do with self found belt / chest as long as you get some decent resists, same with the jewels.
Once you have the resists to run capped with dual andy rings, you can run low level blue maps all day and farm chaos recipes, 6 socket items for jewelers, etc.
this is accurate information, tho if you play in PSC the rings start at 10c for bad rolls, which is not expensive at all.

yeah that is with enlighten, see my boots just some post above yours.
maybe post your tree so I can have a look, seems really odd that you run oom after 1 shot already with that low of a reservation on mana globe.
for your upgrade priority, try getting a good EV chest for life and resists to enable a second andvarius first, before trying to get a 6L. We make money even in tier1 maps, you don't have to run the most difficult content to be a money-printing machine ^^
if you really are into saving, run blue tier 1 - 4 maps all day. the transmutes have no real price and you constantly find them back, trade up alts, alchs, jeweller and fuses to exalt or chaos. ultimate goal are exalteds for me, they have trading value and can be converted back to anything really fast if you have to.
How often are you firing the CA? I ran into similar issues before I realized this isn't a spam shots at the bad guys build, it's fire, wait for the monsters to die, fire again.
I think this is it, it only is really noticeable against big heal monsters where i feel like i want to keep attacking. Also when i party up with friends and they just go in and keep attacking i feel like my damage isn't doing much because it takes time. I think its a playstyle thing, when im on my own i just run through chuck a few poison arrows in packs and keep going then come back. Where as a fast cyclone marauder is just tearing through everything.
tree looks good, one small node above 'nullification' for ES/EV is not needed imo, go for the jewel sockets and pierce soon, with drillneck this is simply amazing!

it really is. when ever you fire the arrow to the edge of the screen, it will land there, no matter what. in earlier version it would 'hit' and stop right where it hit an anemy, you'd had to fire it again.
with one click = 2 arrows i can sometimes make 6-8 clouds. each arrow pierces but if it hits, a cloud is generated and the arrow flies on.
I know that isnt calculating all the multipliers but where is everyone else at? (End-game wise).
I got my +3 bow + carcass + jewelers + 20Q gems.
I got ~16.6k dps with 20 CA, 17/20 RD, 18/20 VM, 2 Emp in a +3 bow with 7 charges up, with fire golem lvl3, not calculating Rallying Cry, Conc., Carcass and I only have single dmg jewels, so it should be ezpz with better jewels, 21 CA, higher Emp etc.
Also carcass doesn't show on tooltip, since its area dmg.

Anyone know would a Ventor be better instead of Andvarius?
vs
Or should i just reroll Ventor since no lightning ress?
I hope rerolling that ventor is a joke. It's very nice. I suspect it would be better than Andvarius, but you can check yourself. In the third post of this thread OP has linked a calculator for optimal iiq/iir balance. Just check out both setups, and the higher your C-value is, the better. Besides, Ventor makes gearing a lot easier, if you have some res on it.
Edit: You can bless it ofc.

Yeah, I'm at 21.5k tooltip with
charges and all ofc. So those extra levels are worth a lot. Got mostly double dmg jewels but as i understand it area dmg on those doesn't show up in the tooltip either, although it gives the same dmg as proj and chaos dmg increase.
Btw: I took a slightly different route in the Passive tree. I got the chaos dmg nodes left of coordination instead of the projectile dmg nodes left of ballistic mastery. Isn't that the slightly better route, given that chaos dmg and proj dmg give the same increase and you also get 14 life that way?
Also, finally got my bow fully crafted by ApityPrime, who's a solid guy IMO.
I'll toss the occasional Divine at that until I get a better roll on Leo's, but this is a big step up from my previous +2 bow... which, incidentally, is now sitting in my Brodeals tab, so if you want it, lmk in game and I'll pass it along.
