Thank you so much for your hard work updating your guide these last couple of days (and calming down the nerves on the Fossil crafting "nerf"). I also appreciated getting your perspective on going left (to RT, etc.) vs. right on the tree. Like a couple of others, I too was struggling to judge the tradeoffs and make a decision ;-).

My son and I are "all in" on your build! Looking forward to it. I rarely touch Duelist and have never played Gladiator.

Considering this for one of my league starter builds, and I was wondering how progression through the Atlas feels if I'm clearing the full thing. Will I be forced to stop and farm currency at any point, or is power progression comfortable enough that I can smoothly get into red maps when everything below them are cleared?

May I ask what your plans are for this league?

Good news is i'm nearly done with the update. I only really need to do minor clear up like not having placeholder image for new End Game section, update map progression and add cluster jewel section.

The only thing that keeps me from flagging the build as 3.10 ready is that god damn passive tree... That's a lot of work updating all levelling trees.

Of the two builds I'm thinking of starting with, both happen to be yours. I've never played this or Caustic Arrow.

I'm thinking of doing Pathfinder CA (mostly because I've not done PF yet + Prolif) and to someone who's never played either - it seems like these two builds would feel similar (dot explosions)?

Are they? I tend to league start with semi-off meta proven builds that are new to me but like to have a backup build picked in case I really am not feeling the build I picked either for play style or mismatch for league, and I like to make sure it is reasonably different. Feels like I should not use one of these builds as the backup to the other.

Also - any recommends between the two? I've done PF CA up to Highgate and was liking it with explosions over the pestilent strike build I had been trying. might not get a chance to try this one out pre league

My Caustic Arrow build like almost any other focuses on DoT portion of the skill. It does not scale poison and is heavily focused on defensive/QoL mechanics. While i give an option for Pathfinder, i would not use this ascendancy over any other i've listed.

If you're in softcore i recommend bleed bow due to overall damage potential. If you prefer tankier and cheaper approach then use Caustic Arrow instead.
