quick question regarding amulet. If i get chaos + dex all skils +1 on base with alterations, what is the best way to hit maleovelence reduced t1? should i use awakeners orb or try to slam hunter exalted on hunter base?

You cant slam influenced items with conqueror orbs. Only without influence. Catalysts help weighting slams aswell.

I did it this way:
+1 Chaos/dex are prefixes, Malevolence a suffix, so i had a cleaned base with only those 2 mods, so i crafted a random 3rd prefix on bench, slammed 2 times (2ex) and prayed. No luck? Craft prefixes cant be changed (2ex), scour and retry. Hit Int and Malevolence, crafted ES, really can't complain.

I'm currently experimenting with a quite nice megalomaniac:

Tempered Arrowheads
Bow Skills have +10% to Damage over Time Multiplier
Bow Skills have 20% increased Skill Effect Duration
10% increased Duration of Ailments inflicted while wielding a Bow

Eye to Eye
25% increased Projectile Damage
35% increased Projectile Damage with Hits against Nearby Enemies
(Applies to CA Dot!)

Unspeakable gifts
Enemies you Kill have a 10% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage
(kinda miss that from asenaths)


New beta PoB with a megalomaniac incorporated, not sure yet if better: https://pastebin.com/nVHJZwjC

PoB shows less damage, but i noticed the megalomaniac doesn't appear to be included in the calcs, so i guess thats the reason.

So which guide is better? Just seen that Brittleknee has two Caustic arrow builds.

There is only one guide, maybe on different sites, but only 1 guide.

Yep. You are right. I had just woken up and... yea lol


Edit: how does this build feel mapping before you get the gloves?

How do we fit cluster jewels in CI version? Do we skip them altogether? Couldn't find it on PoB.

There are just a few passives mentioned by bk in the OP, you can do your own thing from there, cluster jewels are way too individual.

Here's my take on clusters in that build: https://pastebin.com/649Ynb2f

Trying a new megalomaniac:

Eye to Eye
25% increased Projectile Damage
35% increased Projectile Damage with Hits against Nearby Enemies
(Applies to CA Dot!)

Brush with Death
+10% to Damage over Time Multiplier
Recover 1% of Life on Kill
Recover 1% of Energy Shield on Kill

Wicked Pall
35% increased Chaos Damage
20% increased Skill Effect Duration

The explosions from unspeakable gifts didn't do that much, so i left it out again.

As BK's mod I can assure that any copies on other sites are not authorized. The are various rip-offs unfortunately.

How did u get that base with +2?
alt spamming + regal + annul or fossil crafting?

Was casually chaos spamming another base, since both mods are weighted quite rare (200 and 250 i think) i didn't expect anything, but yeah ofc, I rolled over it (No guarantee for success, probably annuls needed, but still wtf). After that, I had the option to throw my computer out of the window or buy a cleaned base for 40ex. I went for the latter.

If you do it yourself i probably would go for alt regal, but expect a LOT of tries.

How does this build feel in simulacrums?

Mainly those last few waves.
