[3.1] DEADEYE Caustic Arrow DPS-focused 6k+ life 60k+ DoT DPS

Leveling with CA is definitely doable, but it's sub-optimal compared to the leveling speed of other skills/setups.

you're misleading people with 'a couple of exalts'. this build is not a couple of exalts at all. both the bow and empower lvl 4, even lvl 3, are very expensive. you can't find many bows, and they're already crafted and expensive. crafting yourself is also difficult, you need catarina lvl 8, leo lvl 3 [most people don't play PvP, for good reasons], and some good understanding of affixes. also, not cheap. especially if you f up and you have to craft again. : >

You need neither the 6-link +3 bow, nor the empower gem. The build works perfectly fine in a 5-link +2 bow and without empower.


yes, true. I used 5L +2 bow and empower 3. it worked, got me to lvl 89, after much grind. the damage was insufficient for high tier maps tho, no matter how much I invested in scaling chaos damage. also, this build can't clear fast, we don't have any good movement skills with bows, we rely on flasks, and extra speed from flasks is not enough.

Not sure what game you're playing... No good bow movement skills? Not enough movement speed on the inherently fastest class in game + movement flask? Wut :S

What do you think about Scion to start in the new league ???
NEW BOW is OPOP
It's ok, but the scion ascendancy class is currently the worst of all. It can work for caustic arrow, though.

Great build. I am having a ton of fun with it. My biggest problem was mana though. I finally solved the problem by putting mana leech into a 6 link with frenzy, GMP, chain, CoH, Vulnerability. Now I get A) Frenzy charges, B)Curses, and C) Mana leech which solved my problems, all by firing one skill. If you can afford a 6 link carcass, this is the way to solve the issue.
Nice build, just vaaled myself a lv4 Empower so I'm hyped to bring this baby to late game.

Question about the helm enchantment, is the +40% increased Caustic Arrow Damage useful? Does it apply to the caustic cloud or the attack damage?

Absolutely! If it didn't apply to the cloud, it would be a pretty pointless enchant :)

How do you generate Endurance charges for use with CWDT+IC?
