[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

what is the best tier for mapping? Because i can clear tier 13 easily but at the boss i fight him for
2-4 min. Or i should skip bosses ?

one question i forgot. can i get 4 essence monster only per corruption or is there a possibility they have in a map 4 essences?

As others have replied, the only way to get this is to successfully corrupt three essences into four.

This is not true. You can find 4 Essence monsters in the wild. I found one yesterday, or maybe the day before. I am pretty sure I saved a screenshot. When I am back home from work I will check, and if I did I will post the image.

Yeah, I forgot that some essence packs are already corrupted. I stand corrected.

Nonetheless this is exceedingly rare.

Agreed, I've only found two 4 essence monsters so far, and the most recent was in a T15 map. My Screenshot

Huh. I never saw a raw 4-essence monster. Just assumed it was corrupt only after pushing two characters to 91.

Progress so far on my Berserker AW toon

Haven't tried Caustic Arrow yet, going to make this next.

Haaaaaaaaaaaank.

Got any decent non-meta melee builds you've scoped out recently? Say, T13 capable?

Dunno about the non-meta tag, but have you seen the Cospri's Malice CoC Discharge setup?

Not with discharge, but I did spot this AB/IS one: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1730530. Looked neat, but I want to play something a bit more traditional.

That's still a ranged build. Have a peek at this one instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBUEUy9HLvw

Both are melee, in that you have to get within melee range in order to proc the spells. (I guess you can lacerate from a distance, but that doesn't make much sense outside of boss fights. Slows you down).

Regardless, what I meant by "traditional" is something that's more strictly melee and not reliant on other things like poison or CoC.

I was thinking of trying to build something around Cospri's and completely ignore the whole spellcasting bit.

Ele hit viable kappa.
