[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

And Then Things Got Completely Out of Control
Spoiler
Well, I finally managed to rework my Atlas to give funneling a try. I applied sextants per instructions, alched, applied Perandus, and went into my first Shaped Strand. Uh oh... Got the "Monstrous Treasure" prophecy - you know... the one that spawns a bunch of strongboxes. The place was just insane. Loot from mobs. Loot from strong boxes. Loot from Breach Mobs. Loot from Perandus Coffers. Holy crap! LOL. Well, I'm nearly done with the "prophecies in maps" grind - so hopefully this won't happen again. Oh... did I mention the mapped rolled "Twinned"? 4 end bosses which dropped... well, you know. ====== Edit: Guess what? It happened again, LOL. Got the Monstrous Treasure this time on a map with Extra Strongboxes and Perandus. LOL. Took forever to open all of them. Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Jan 17, 2017, 10:33:06 AM

Sounds promising, hank...
While, when I get really lazy on loot with my HoWA character, someetimes I can do whole maps on 1-2 portals... if I'm refilling my unID tab (I've been doing unID for a week or 2 now with Breach Rings + alch'd amulets for some 1c recipes) and there are some Breaches/etc, I still manage to use all my portals without the MF gear I've started seeing Chayula breaches a bit more (and other Breachlords in general give me hope of finding Chayula himself) since I started rushing Yellow maps and soon to be Red maps with my HoWA character Finally making progress on 36 challenges... I stalled out at 24 for awhile and switched characters, but now 27/40 and most of the rest except for Endless Grind (lots to do) and 10k tiers (1200 done, half in the last few days) I'm near completing the rest with a bit of work on each... 3/4, 7/10, 10/15, etc etc Since I hadn't explored the back half of the map on my CA character, I was easily able to opt-in to the optimized map... recently finished most of the maps I was missing T7-T9, completed Vinktar for 5c, completed Colonnade, shaped Mesa and Collonade... just need to do Excavation for shaping Strand, uncomplete Excavation, and then pick up some Gorge and t14-15 maps to finish out the map... sitting at 70/126 How profitable would you guys consider Perandus mapping yourself? I mean... I could pay 3c per map and complete Perandus challenge in about 150c... or try and catch the people in trade 820 selling for 6-8c and finish in 60-80c... you guys making up the 70-90c difference? |

" There's an analysis about the profitability of Perandus on reddit, albiet for Essence League. The conclusion is that Perandus was marginally profitable in Essence; non-unique drops from Perandus mobs were not tracked though, so it's a bit more profitable than raw numbers from the analysis would indicate. Note that the cost of Perandus coins used in the analysis is 53 Perandus coins = 1c. On ESC, it's now about 115 to 140 Perandus coins = 1c. Since about half the value of the wealth generated by the Perandus mod comes from coins, and since the coins are now worth about 1/2 as much as they were in Essence, it appears that Perandus is not profitable for Breach League, at least in softcore. Trying to buy the coffers in 820 chat seems to be better than using the Perandus mod on maps. I'm going to try Perandus for a few more maps - if nothing good happens I'll drop it and use Bloodlines instead. Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Jan 18, 2017, 2:16:22 AM

Well... I decided to give it a go... I consider my first try a success so far
I'm running Shaped Strands with 15-20% quality depending on whether I get the chisel prophesy, 1 white and 1 yellow sextant (at least until I burn through my SSF supply of them) 1 sac fragment I have laying around outside of full sets... and Perandus for the challenge My first try with this, I got 2 Shaped Strands unrelated to Perandus, 2 Shaped Strands and a Shaped Mesa from an Archive, and an Eye of Chayula from Cadiro... |

Hello guys,
Anyone tried CA Occultist(-20% chaos dmg on enemies) in endgame with full damage gear, i mean guardians/shaper, with the new chaos damage crafted rings and helmet enchant, empower 4+CA 21/20. I like this skill a lot but they nerfed FeelsBadMan:( |
|
|
can you tell me which jewel mods are more important
chaos damage over time increase area damage |
|
" I was wondering the same, which damage mode on jewels should be prioritized and on what order of importance: inc chaos dmg inc proj dmg inc area dmg inc dmg over time inc dmg |
|
" I haven't. Closest I came was just recolouring my bow to throw in another damage gem. DPS output was unsatisfying vs Guardians. Doubt it'd hold up vs Shaper simply because of the Vortex balls, but it can work against Uber Atziri. Even without recolouring my bow, a few leagues ago I got to Uber Atziri with 2 portals left and knocked down the first split phase. So you'd be able to do at least that. It could probably do Guardians with a lot of patience and great mechanical skill, but there's just too many other builds out there better suited for it. " Also, projectile damage. Doesn't matter, they all impact cloud damage equally. Just keep in mind area damage won't show up on the tooltip, but it does work with the cloud damage. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

Like Serleth said... for an example, I saved this search in BSC: http://poe.trade/search/omonanirioukuh
It let me find 3+ mod jewels with any combination of 30-35% dmg mods or 20-25% dmg mods and 5-7$ life as cheap as possible... when not resistance capped i just switched life for the all resists 8-10% mod |

" In a two player party, with a curse/ED support I've managed to kill Phoenix and Hydra. Lots of manual dodge, and movement precision. With those two guardians you can keep range and they will not teleport to you. I do not actually want to try against the other two due to higher damage output and how they close the gap with your character. |
