[2.4 Trickster] Grocery's Caustic Arrow Trickster Shadow! HC Viable!

Gonna hit lvl 80 today, still truckin away. I traded my natural hierarchy rot feather talisman for a drill neck and man i can't believe the difference that made.
Ya, I normally play a critical build. I ran out of flask charges quick and ran around like a mad man for a while. They didn't spawn minions so I was running on the edge of the screen not looking at them. My mistake. 2nd bosses were cake although annoying, since the flaming guy doesnt stay in one location at all.

Right now my resistance are capped and they probably could be with a lighting coil but I was thinking the + to max lightning resistance means more physical mitigation.

I just don't know what to run aura wise because I put a decent amount of mana regeneration on rings and the tree that I don't need clarity...so I have grace, but what's another 25 to 35% mana reservation aura that I could use to benefit dps or tank?

Thanks for the reply and opinions =]

Is frenzy really a must have skill?
Maybe it would be better to skip frenzy nodes and get instead more jewel slots and hp nods?
Personally I like more it way with herald of ice+curse on hit so I dont need to worry about cursing enemies


Frenzy charges are absolutely a must. 100%. No way 3 jewel slots would come close.

Jewels will give you additive increases. Frenzy gives 4% MORE (multiplicative) damage per Charge, 4% increased attack/cast speed per charge, increased evasion per charge. It gives you everything you could ever want. My dps without charges and with charges goes up more than 5.5k cloud damage.

Herald of Ice with Curse on Hit is good for most builds, but frenzy is just too good. Herald of Ice still doesn't affect the cloud, so it is a bit wasted and in no way will be better than Frenzy.

Again, not trying to be mean! Frenzy charges are just absolutely pants on head retarded good.

It can be done without it for sure, but it is a boost as you are seeing :)

Glad you are having fun. Atziri's instance in general is the best ARPG instance ever I think.

Fury, you are correct! It would mean more mitigation due to the +max res. If you feel you need it, go for PoL. I would just make sure you don't drop grace for PoL unless you need it to cap Lightning Res.

Grace is #1 as you know. PoL is definitely #2 if you have a LC and don't need clarity.

I had a bit of a brainfart on PoL for a second. I remember when purity was one aura that gave +max res to all ele resistances and gave flat res as well, it was pretty OP.

Level 2 empower :) Just kidding. Increased aoe. When you get level 2 empower, it might be worthwhile to check the dps with it.

Never tried. Not sure if it works with cloud damage but I don't think it is worth it. CA is nice because you don't have to be close to the enemy. PB kind of nullifies that.

You can test it out and report back!

If one gets a drillneck wouldnt pierce gem be a dps choice for the 6th socket?

I'm pretty much going your build but i saw one that kinda looked interesting and wanted your opinion on it since you're like a subject matter expert.
