[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" Estimate the cost in exalt for approximately 350j and 1200f Then price the item on poe.trade pre-6L'd. If jew/fuse cost < price (and you're willing to gamble), then self-link.

@Serleth RE game balance
Spoilered response as it's off topic for CA :-)
Spoiler
Nice summary in your post above - pretty much the way I feel. Flameblast - though channeled - is a special case. It can do really nice damage using prolif and can be used virtually sans channeling for this. And, it can also generate huge hits while channeling - making it ideal for ignite. For me, Flameblast is massively OP due to its prolif/ignite compatibility - one of the best skills in the game IMO. For trash - use it with prolif. For bosses, wait until you can channel and let loose for a massive crit front load and subsequent huge ignite. Once that ignite is in place you're doing massive damage even if you have to move for the next 4 seconds w/o doing much/any damage from new casts. ========= Still, POE is really fun. I guess it boils down to figuring out what's OP and fun to play and then going that route. I've changed my mind several times about what my last character will be this league - I think I'll try Assassin/CI/self-cast/DD. Not meta, should (hopefully be really strong) and I've never tried DD or CI so it'll be new. Also, if this build works out, it maybe won't be nerfed next patch (well, maybe CI will be nerfed, but hopefully the rest of the build will survive unscathed).

" Hi I was buy 6 socket starforge lost 2400fuse and nothing, can't 6L. What do You thinck guys stop fusing->sold or try more? :( |

That's why it's a gamble.
I'm stubborn. I'd keep going. But the safe play is to sell it and buy a 6L'd one. ***** Unrelated. I feel like there should be a sticky PSA on reddit. -- ETA for leagues will be announced three weeks prior to release. With rare exceptions (like massive expansions such as 3.0), this will be more or less a three month timeline. -- League itself will be announced two weeks prior. -- Patch notes will be released the week of (likely two days prior) along with JSON data (if applicable) around the same time. -- Repeat unless otherwise notified by, idk reading the news posts. -- READ THE NEWS POSTS  Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Off-Topic
Response to the PSA on reddit comment
Spoiler
As someone who has research and reference experience, Agreed. One thousand times agree. However, as someone who has research and reference experience, it won't actually cut down on the number of repeat questions on reddit. You can lead someone to a recourse, but you cannot make them read it. Also I have found signs, PSAs, sticky/pinned comments, etc are for those users who already know how to find information. Too many people think, "Ohh I have a quick question, making a new thread will be the quickest, easiest, and most convenient way to do this." I'd like to be wrong about that second point, but lets just watch reddit two weeks before the challenge league through the first two weeks of the challenge league. I'd wager it will be the same set of questions at the same frequency we see every new league. |

Actually, you're right - there should be a sticky PSA. It can't hurt, and it would absolutely cut some of the chatter. Admittedly, there are folks that you can't teach, however, I'm pretty sure that doesn't cover the entirely of the readers.

" Thats the same idea as kommunismus or world peace. The one thing wrote chrono " But the other thing is, the people think that problem is my one. I am the first and only person who has that question. So its stupid to look for an answer, because there cant be one. I make 2 days in a week hotline for an high tech product. MOST question are writte in the manual. But if you anwer RTF
Spoiler
read the fucking manual
tell you you make bad service. In this world my feeling is, people need a plan. And in this plan all problems questions and situations must be answerd. Like this tree :-) and how often people asking you why is your profile not open. why cant i look how you make it. do you perhaps have secrets you wont tell us. and so on. so i say yes to your concern. but i have no hope that it will help |

yesterday i managed to get the portal. I tried all things to make it myself. But one challenge i cant do to get the 36.
the grind i dont like. the cards is no chance other to buy some. the guardians i tried but only minotaur i have perhaps an chance. hydra i got to 30 % i think but it needs 10 min to do so and then i died 3 times. phoenix i dont try. warband leader was good but i need 6 and its totally luck. so i was frustratet yesterday and i buyed the shaper kill. That was unbelievable. this guy makes it for nothing and let me all loot. He dont want anything for it. and he need 3 or 4 min. So i thought, i love this build verry much. And it gives me a big amount of currency. But since 3 leages i need things to buy to get the 36 challanges (what is my goal). next leage i ask chrono what build can do all the things i need :-)) and try to go with that. As a am in holiday the first 8 days from the next leage, i hope he has one. Yes i can make this build and then lvl another. but i HATE lvl sooooo much, that i cant do that!!! And for serlet. Thanks a lot for a build i have so much fun with over the year. And for your great thread. So much nice and funny people who answer all questions. |

Thank you for creating this build guide. It has definitely helped me in creating my own iteration of this build. I do have a question though. And I do apologize in advance if this question has been asked before and I missed it but, is it a good idea to use a Blood Dance just for the 5% Life Regen/sec? I am worried about survivability and as of late my character does seem quite 'squishy' to say the least. Or am I just better off with a pair of 'okay' IIR boots?
