so your build uses a lot of projectile damage nodes I see, does that affect the damage of the degen? this is the first time ive tried to make a build before. idk if mines viable honestly, I might just wanna follow yours I suppose.

Proj damage DOES effect cloud damage.

how about pierce nodes, what is the purpose of pierce with ca/pa?

btw sorry for the noob questions. never done pa/ca before

No worries, ask away! That is what these threads are for, unless they are troll questions :)

Pierce for PA/CA is good because it drops a chaos cloud anytime it hits a mob, even ones it goes through. Well aimed, it can drop multiple chaos clouds at varying distances.

very nice, well I think ill just follow your build. what gems do you suggest to level with? seems poison arrow with the supports might be fairly decent to level with but idk, any suggestions?

You won't have empower so just follow the guide on what links come first. You can always do OG poison arrow fire trap.

I'm stoked to play this build, and what you think about also having a set of mf gear also? think its viable?

It could be, but I won't know until tomorrow. One thing is for sure, MF won't be as good. For MF, I'd check Serleth's thread on Ranger forum. He does a pure MF build and has a lot of good info there.

I appreciate your quick responses. are you going to be streaming this build? or making a youtube video?

Both. The first build i will update is likely RoA, then TS, the this.

Video Guide Friday for RoA, Saturday for TS, CA Sunday, earlier if possible. RoA and TS have much less experimenting needed as I am 100% sure of everything. CA has a bit of gem testing to do, but I am fairly certain how it will go. But I want to be 100% sure or closer to it before making a video. All written guides planned for Fri/Sat.

Streaming all weekend/next week different builds. Then I am on vacation for 2 weeks and back Jan 3rd. I will still answer all questions in my guide threads/YT comments. Not gonna leave people hanging on a new patch/new build!

Edit: Heading to bed, will answer any questions tomorrow morning! Very excited 2.1 HYPE!

Hi bro,
Many thanks for the guide,srems preety solid for hc,ill try it today with new leage, can i ask you what skill do you use for leveling and which level is optimal to do transaction to PA?

Thanks!!!

Hm, the shadow DOES have all the chaos nodes right off the bat, however the two ascension classes so far seem absolutely useless for a caustic arrow build.Wouldn't it be better to do this as a deadeye-ranger for the free chain, pierce, aoe radius etc. etc. ?
