[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I see, makes sense! I guess you followed the Scion tree you suggested (your chars are private).

I started as Shadow/Trickster but probably going to roll a Scion then. I appreciate your answer!
Yeah pretty much. Only real difference between what I did vs what the guide says is I took the two passive points from Eramir in order to get a jewel faster. But I'll be respeccing that later on (keeping the jewel, but banking two passive points from leveling) for Oak regen to help with reduced recovery/vuln/desecrated ground, etc. maps. Which is just a personal preference thing, Kraityn's better overall imho for the build but I like to MF a bit lazier. =)

Dunno if mentioned or not but does the "Aspect of the Eagle" keystone located very near to our current skilltree (Ranger start, 2 skillpoints on the right from "Ballistic Mastery") help us with its "6+20% Increased Damage with Bows" mod? Does it apply to the caustic cloud?

Isn't it the same with the "8-10% Increased Damage" mod ("of Wounding") we get on jewels and we already know it benefits us, but only for the bow wielders?

So I was thinking of dropping the 2*10% Increased Chaos Damage skillpoints from the Shadow start and instead get 6+20% Increased Damage with Bows from Ballistic Mastery thus getting more dps and also new bonuses like:
3% Increased Attack Speed (with bows)
+10 to max. life
4% Increased Movement Speed?

Thanks

No.

"With bows" is basically "with attacks," but specifically while wielding a bow. The cloud is not an attack.

Mechanically speaking, the cloud is a ground effect, and as such cannot be scaled with attack modifiers.

Hey, anyone know if the soul upgrades for the Pantheon major power are a single thing, or can you have all three up and running all the time?

I did another take on the CA build, i use raider to get onslaught and phasing and immunity to ailments. Feels really good if u wanna check it out. Worse dmg then the scion version, but i believe it should be more ms. If anyone have any tips about how to improve im all ears :)
Off topic:

A build for trivializing all content other than Hall of the Grand Masters.
Spoiler

Caustic Arrow is fantastic at Magic Find. But it cannot tackle very end-game bosses very easily; consequently, many magic finders either roll a second toon for such encounters or purchase the kills.

With this in mind - if you want to easily kill Shaper/Uber Atziri, check out the following:

If you want to roll a 2nd toon for easily (trivially) killing all end game bosses - and all content other than Hall of the Grand Masters - I highly recommend Summoner Vanguards/Wikerman. See this link for details.

This build is amazing.

I have a 5-link and went Necromantic Aegis; I bought a Tukohama's Fortress shield so that my Vanguards get 2 SR totems each.

And I summoned an Animate Guardian equipped with two Dyadus.

Just now I ran Dark Forest - I killed Rigwald in less than 1 second!

The DPS of this build is silly-stupid.

If you want to kill everything in the game other than HoTG, check this build out.

Really, you probably won't need Tukohama's Fortress at all - you can kill everything in the game for roughly 60c or so using this build. And it's pretty fun if you like summoners. The only drawback is that killing stuff is so easy that there's very little skill involved.

Edit: Shaper down at level 88 on my 5-link - Uber Atziri next up.
