[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Does anyone actually have cata at 8 and leo at 3 that would be able to help me with the crafting part of the bow? I just had a blue drop with +2 bow skills ;)

IGN is Avybabyyeah if anyone can help me. Thank you.

What bow base type bow is best for this build, and how would I add it to the loot filter to show all blues and up of that type, so I can find me a +2 of them? :) Is it the +6% movement one (Maraketh)? Or should I not even worry about it and just buy the first 6L bow I ca afford?

Personally I use a Maraketh base because it helps with the mediocre movement speed of the Goldwyrm's. You want to filter out any bow that's below ilvl 64 because that's how you get +2 bow mod. Paragon's (+1 to all gem) is ilvl 50.

Maraketh (move speed), yep.

(Still trying for my first lol)

How do i deal with the "players have no mana and life regen" map mod? Does the mana leech support skillgem work with the PA cloud damage?

Thanks.

9 levels to go for 7/8, and 8 more tempests for 8/8.

Re: mana leech: no.

Take a mana flask (or two) with you.

I've just made the switch from NeverSink build to this MF poison build, would it be better if i use auresize ?

Uh where to start:

- we scale damage with gem levels, not crit
- we use Goldwyrms if possible, quantity is important
- any +crit in tree / on gear is wasted, and you have a lot of that
- any leech is kinda wasted too
- your 6L misses empower (for mentioned gem levels), we don't need pierce really because
- we try to get drillneck, the pierce jewel (poacher's aim) and some pierce nodes in tree
- for rarity, gloves, 2 x Andvarius, a good MF amulet and helmet are the slots, plus the rarity gem

Congratulations. I think you'll find that Poison Arrow is really fun.

In general, the more IIR and IIQ you can equip while still maintaining resists, life and enough DPS the better.

I know you've just switched from Neversink's build... but I'd really advise you to get a bow suitable for Poison Arrow - you want +1 to socketed gems and +2 to socketed bow gems ideally; but for starters, a +2 to socketed bow gems is fine. Your Poison Arrow DPS is very dependent on PA gem level and without at least a +2 bow your DPS is going to be very subpar.
