Was going to try and roll 3 green 2 blue on chest to see about using a different setup, and accidentally rolled 4 green and one blue. Going for Caustic Arrow, Rapid Decay, Void Manipulation, Pierce, and Controlled Destruction. I am just looking to go more ranged than Blade Vortex or Vortex so I dont have to be in the middle of shit, casting super slow...

Since I am using a bow, this feels more natural. Will give more details when I get to run some t10-t13's with it.

Any advice on something to switch to besides close range stuff?

I wonder if it's worth it to move bv to the bow for the extra clear speed?

Caustic Arrow's cloud doesn't count as a hit, so it doesn't apply Decay to mobs. Only the arrow itself does. It's not viable. (unless you intend to just gut your damage)
El Psy Congroo.
Vortex working great for me on t11-15 maps. One cast of vortex per pack kills pretty much anything including rares. Rogue exiles and bosses are the only things I really ED

I suppose it could increase your clear speed with 6link, but 5link is more than enough. I was testing a 6link set up with Reduced Duration Gem for more damage and it was a tad faster.

This is correct.

Also Patchumz, Controlled Destruction will do nothing even if Caustic Arrow did "hit" since CA does not have the "Modifiers to spell damage apply to this skill's damage over time".

I am glad to hear! I am still slowly building my T11+ pool so I will be getting into them in the next few days hopefully.

I'm having the exact same experience with T11-13 maps (haven't gotten higher than 13 because of bad luck). Vortex vaporizing everything but bosses. Exiles melt pretty fast too, depending on which one is in there. I even manage to do it with a friend and still do enough damage to melt packs with just Vortex.

I did pick up the AoE cluster next to Arcane Focus to help with Vortex coverage. (also using it to path upwards)
El Psy Congroo.
I killed all 4 guardians last night but my damage was too low for shaper unfortunately.

For anyone looking to benchmark my ed is at 7.6k and 25k dot. Going to upgrade to 21/20 ed (from 20/20) and level 4 empower (from level 3) and try again.
