[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Ser, whats your personal preference on the ranger vs shadow issue, I guess you like the ranger more?

I'll probably end up going Shadow because I know I'll find a way to make it work to my preferences, and a 2% life reduction is nothing for me in exchange for that extra damage.

I am a bit worried about the flexibility business, though. And honestly I just don't think I'll have enough time to examine everything before rolling.

EDIT

I'm rolling Ranger. There are too many questions to answer. Is the extra life regeneration better for noob-friendliness? With the new mana per level & mana cost, can we get away without Soul Siphon? Should we?

For the purposes of providing the best possible guide I'm going to stick with Ranger.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Nice to try something abit different from what we did in warbads. Another question, seeing as most of the shadows damage comes from proj/dot and rangers from chaos. How does this influence the choice of jewels? Should I prio proj/dot if I roll shadow for example? :) Also, does all the damage sources scale in a similiar way?

It's not letting me edit posts right now.

I'm going Ranger.

There are just too many questions to answer, and I need flexibility to do that. Are we fine with 4% regen? Is 5% regen that much more noob-friendly that I should recommend it for new players? With the change to mana and mana cost, is Soul Siphon just as important, or can we rely on mana regeneration instead?

Etc.

So for the purposes of providing the community with the best possible guide, I'm going to go Ranger.

15 minute caffeine nap and a dream. Thumbs up from me Serleth u have done a great job m8.

Alright, im probably going to try the shadow version aswell :) Does the swap influence what mods we want on our endgame jewels? Seeing as the big dmg sources are abit different between the ranger version and the shadow?

Think you can whip up a quick leveling process for the skill tree?

I'm trying to figure that out still.

I'm thinking fire trap + searing bond + contagion leveling.

Skill tree needs to be attention. My damage down now its 6k. and life gone down from 4.8 to 3.7.

Looking forward for the new tree.

New tree is already up at top of OP.
