[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Would a Delirium Essence crafted +3 Bow (without Leo's crafted mod) be an option?!

Yes. If you really want to push damage(more for bosses than for general map), the Delirium craft is a great additional boost.

Also you can get a +3 Delirium with Leo craft. Delirium is a Suffix. But you would need to be really lucky and hit both the +1 and +2 on the essence with an open prefix.

Thanks for your quick response.

I've played Lifting's Bow Blade Vortex Build and rolled this one:



Would be interesting to hear a price check from someone especially for this build.

Not sure on price, quick PoE check in standard has them priced 30, 70 and 100ex. Or the one with the Leo DoT mod at 1mirror.

I'd like the bow in a more damage focused version of Caustic Arrow, as it might be hard to get resistance balance in the MF version. Hopefully the above search helps figure out a price.

Is it better to level with evasion / armour hybrid bases, or just rely on evasion and avoiding damage 100% ?

Made a Shadow, first time with evasion

Guessing you're HC.

Don't deliberately go hybrid if you can help it. Coming from Shadow I recommend going pure evasion due to the quick access to Acrobatics. Ultimately it just comes down to what you have access to for gear. If you end up having to go hybrid, that's fine.

Either way, run Grace immediately.

Thank you

Is there any leveling trees at all for this build? or a semi general outline of key nodes to get first ect

Thanks

I wonder if the upcoming changes to poison will be worth looking into at all for this build.

Obviously we don't currently use poison, but if they are removing the dependency of the poison damage roll from being determined by the initial hit, then maybe all of our chaos damage and DOT nodes would turn a poison support into a viable option?

Not sure if it would go on our Caustic Arrow, or perhaps on our Frenzy once we had some extra links to play with?

Would be interesting to try out.

This may or may not be good advice, but as a more experienced player I tend to make a beeline for Acrobatics, while picking up every damage node along the way. After that I focus entirely on damage nodes until around level 55 where I start picking up life to get ready for maps.

This probably wouldn't work for everyone, but if you are skilled enough to avoid most damage sources manually, then this method will allow you to level very quickly.
