[3.9] [Updated] Caustic Arrow CI Trickster - Very tanky, fast mapper, safe playstyle

So I decided to give Shaper a shot on my current gear. Atm I have only 350k DPS and I did not even bothered with gem swap, so it was nothing great, but it was still fine.

Just fair warning, it is really really scuffed run because I did some mistakes at Shaper and died.

Here is the vid:

Shaper Lvl 81 (Very scuffed run)

I also changed ring craft from faster start of ES recharge to mana + damage taken gained as mana for better sustain on no-regen maps (basically I ended up in situation where I accidentally wasted mana between packs and had to autoattack and vaal cold snap monster to death to continue the map :D)

Here is the updated PoB:

Added another gamplay video. Now it's depth 188 Beyond Delve. Here is the video:

I want to try to find some free time later and add also add in-depth gearing and character progression section to main build.

Small update:

Changed Pantheon gods to Lunaris and Gruthkul for some extra phys damage reduction, as this build is dont have much of it, and it really helps with survivability. For some bosses Solaris might be better than Lunaris, so change to it when necessary.

Update:

Replaced ES + -9 chaos resistance helmet with



This gives us a lot more damage (from 1.5M to almost 1.8M) and is a lot cheaper. It brings down our ES from 10.4k to 10k, but that is fine.

this is Core map with some fragments. I wanted to test how additional GMP swap will perform with this build, and it was pretty nice, even though a bit annoying to swap 2 gems. Not sure if I would reccomend this, mainly with just mediocre gear (i have 300k in-game tooltip with damage gems and 100k with GMP + Mirage Archer, so it effectively removes 2/3 of damage when mapping).

Here is some Nexus boss run (no idea which one, its not important when it isnt Cortex :d). Its not good run, but cba to do more Nexus atm:

Small update:

- Replaced Granite Flask with Quartz Flask as it synergizes with rest of our evasion/dodge/spell dodge better
- Added Bleed Immune Watcher's Eye to PoB. I kept it together with DoT multi, but it's way cheaper to just get Clarity + Malevolence Bleed than DoT multi, and imo also a bit safer, I don't think getting all 3 mods together is very realistic though, I am personally just sticking to bleed immunity. If you want to focus on your damage, corrupted jewel with corrupted blood immunity should be enough.

Here is updated PoB and web preview: (main post is already updated)

EDIT:

Also cleaned up pros/cons section

Decided to also record all 4 Shaper guardians:

Pit of the Chimera Lvl 88
Forge of the Phoenix Lvl 88
Lair of the Hydra Lvl 88
Maze of the Minotaur Lvl 88

I originally wanted to lure Elder to center, but it did not worked out so I just did all guardians anyway.

Finally managed to lure Elder to center, so here is Uber Elder video:

*snip*

(warning, it's extremely bad, last portal, that is like all my fault and not build's as I should've played way safer)

EDIT: Hmm, somehow I failed to upload the vid, reuploading

Is delve 188 even equiv to a red map? not very deep and doesnt really show anything just saying.
