I'm not familiar anymore. Last I saw for CA was Yoji's CI version, and someone else had a (now out-dated) Hidden Potential variation.

Full-on damage is probably best done from Occultist so I'd start your search in the Witch section of the forums.

Thanks for the reply!

What would go for between :

does life gained on hit works with CA ?

The +3 silverbough will yield the best DPS; but if you have a bunch of currency, I'd fix up (one of) the Maraketh to make it +3 and to roll some damage mods.

The life gain on hit would apply to your arrow's initial hit and any mobs subsquently hit by the arrow following pierce, but you'll get very little life gained this way; the life gain on hit won't apply to the caustic cloud.

Yeah, I have the currency for the +3 and DoT! I was debating which bow I should do it on!

Thanks for the insight on the life gained on hit!

Hey guys sorry for bumping up the thread again.

I have a specific question in terms of this build's farming ability.

I plan to create this after much deliberation and have about a budget of 3-5ex to work with.

Also the character I'm creating is only specifically for farming shaped strands and nothing else. Just pure shaped strands.

In that scenario, would I require a 6L bow to complete shaped strands in under lets say 50-60 seconds or would a 5L bow be more than enough since 6L bows are really expensive?

And would the 3-5ex as aforementioned be enough to build a character as such? I'm playing on LSC btw.

Once again thank you for taking your time out to read this guys, any help is much appreciated.

This build will not do Shaped Strands that quickly. Period. You're looking at probably around 2:30. Regardless, 5L will be enough as the last gem you add is the IIR gem. The priority is +3 bow.

5L +3's go for 1-2ex, Andvarius rings are 4-5c each, a serviceable rare chestpiece (dual res, good life) won't cost you more than a chaos, Goldwyrm are 1c and the rest of your gear you can probably get for 5-20c (depending on what roll values you want), aside from good jewels which will probably be 20c each.

All told, build shouldn't cost you more than 3ex.

Some nice changes coming for Scion - extra couple of passives for taking path of the Shadow. Trickster gets a 20% boost to recovery for life / mana /es.

I know you're probably speaking generically, but regarding this build specifically:

Recovery RATE.

Given that we don't leech, our primary source of survivability (other than evasion) is the ability to instantly recover life with Seething flasks.

Deadeye and Occultist still win.

Nope, this was entirely the result of posting while too damn tired to internet. I even carefully compared the skill tree now vs the skill tree for 3.0, then completely brain farted. Good thing you're around to keep me in line! :)

ok noob here i appologize. i like your build and am starting to put it together as i lvl up. i notices on the skill tree it starts and goes to the constitution point then stops. and jumps over to the ranger section. how is that accomplished? trying to not have to make another character lol.

The Scion Ascendant class "Path of the Ranger" node. Allows you to allocate points at Ranger start, bypassing the need to traverse that section of the tree

ok so i can use the the 3 points to join the 2 sections together til i get to the laby to do the to do the ascendant thing then i can respec those 3 points. that correct? tyvm for the fast reply.
