[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

A 5L improves your farming. Which makes getting everything else happen faster.

:P

But alright.

Also, check your messages shortly.

Hi Serleth,
Could you post the belt you used for this build?
Thanks,

Alright, so I just got this

What should I do with it? I'm really newbie to the crafting and I really don't want to break it...

Unfortunately mana leech is a prefix which means you won't be able to craft the Leo DoT mod on it. Which isn't a *huge* deal, but eventually you'll want to get a bow that you can craft that on.

So for now just mastercraft whatever resistance you need, link it, chrome it, and get your farm on =D

Awesome guide!

I'm pretty low on life right now(2.5k :S ) so I'm feeling squishy. I don't think I'll be getting a drillneck yet to help with res capping, I'll probably get a 2nd andvarius first.

What do you think I should improve on (gear/passives wise)? I think there are some pierce passives that I could probably spec out of (I'm going to replace that coral ring asap).

* Tri res leather belt
* Replace coral as you suggest
* Rare gloves with life the moment you get the second Andvarius
* Mastercraft life on that helmet. And your amulet.
* Rare tri-res chest with life instead of Carcass for now, to make res balancing easier for Drillneck / Second Andvarius
* +3 bow (obviously)

I would probably do all the other gear adjustments (belt, second ring, helmet and amulet mastercrafting) and get either a +3 bow or Drillneck first, before the second Andvarius, then grab the other of +3 or Drillneck. Prioritize +3, imho.

I consider Carcass Jack the last item to get. It's BiS but it's not as key as stacking MF and survivability (life/res).

Tree wise, drop the Frenzy charges. They're last as well. Start heading to Scion for the life / res there to help with gearing and survivability.

If you're not going to go all the way to Phase Acro, don't bother with the extra dodge nodes for now. Life is more important.

That's about all I can see quickly.

Thanks! :)
Hey! Thanks for your guide. I have a short question. Regarding to wiki the damage of th PA is based on the physical damage. So wouldn't it be better to take a bow with +1 socketed gems and high phys damage rather than +2 bow gems and 1+ socketed gems, because the +2 bow only effects the PA Gem?
No, because we're scaling the cloud damage.

That physical base you're talking about refers to the arrow itself and the damage it would deal on impacting an enemy, like a bullet.

The cloud damage operates more like a spell, in that it scales off gem levels and specific modifiers (DoT, chaos, projectile, area, global damage).
