[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Odd, but support for that should be on the way eventually. Just leave a prefix open for when it does.

As someone starting with a low level char, what are some of the major nodes you would aim for first? Would you directly get the life nodes to the left as well?

Also, could you recommend some leveling skill gems?

Cheers!

Honestly, you can level with pretty much anything these days.

Depends largely on what twink gear you have available to you.

Any projectile spell is decent, really. EK, Freezing Pulse, etc. Could also just do Firestorm. Idk what twink gear you have available to you but if you don't have stuff like Lifesprig or Reverberation Rod, then you want to stick with ele skills so you can craft your own +1 sceptre/wand from the recipe.

If you have a tabula, pretty much anything goes. Sunder's probably among the best leveling skills at the moment, so using twink uniques + tabula + sunder = you win the game. Or Frost Blades.

What skill you end up choosing determines what nodes you grab, but it's pretty much just grab life/damage along the way and then respec into CA-related dmg nodes at the end.

Ideally you end up choosing SOME form of physical-based projectile skill because that dovetails the easiest with CA's end-game tree, so I would recommend Frost Blades, most likely, as the projectile dmg nodes will benefit the secondary aspect of the attack.

The way I usually end up doing it is

* pick a proj skill
* beeline for Fury Bolts
* Bravery/Golem's Blood
* then Ballistic Mastery via Heart of Oak
* Ranger proj dmg nodes
* keep an eye on str/int requirements, grab Primal Spirit as necessary
* Blood Siphon
* If I've picked a physical skill, I'll take Will of Blades, knowing I'm speccing out of that later. Otherwise, Entropy
* Either way, into Fangs of Viper > Nullification / Sniper
* Blood Drinker
* Then at this point I'm prepping to switch into CA, so I grab Method to the Madness, switch to CA, and fill out the rest of the tree prioritizing jewel sockets as I find good jewels, the scion life wheel, and frenzy charges last.

Thanks for the clear answer!
Since this is my first char in the abyss league, no twink gear whatsover, so gotta make do ;)
Having fun with this build finally got the quiver this afternoon.

I'm thinking of returning, and reading up on changes to the build in 3.0 and 3.1 and I noticed you have 2 minor gods listed as Gruthkul... I was confused at first and checked the wiki... the second Gruthkul should be Garukhan...
Nice catch. Thanks.

It's there, just didn't edit appropriately. 3.0 = 3.1, no change to the tree.
