[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
You're right.
Re: CALC, not yet but someone's working on it. Well, I got excited for nothing. I accidentally calculated ~76% phys damage in there. Lesson: don't do trees tired. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Dec 11, 2015, 7:01:27 AM

Ah don't worry man, I got excited too and tried to figure why shadow was so good for about 5 minutes :)
What my worries come down to basically: will we be able to start somewhere after lvl 60 with a 5L +2 bow, realistically, with lowest maps / dried lake and get at least to tier 10-12 maps with a +3 bow? After all we're solo farmers and those maps are our bread and butter IGN: WildTortillaFart

what do you mean about shadow in hc build?
it's about shadow nodes? or shadow start, because it is ranger's obv. also it says about dropping madness circle for health but posted variant is without that circle, so im a bit confused about pathing. going to roll ranged archer of some kind first time from beta, so i really have zero experience in pathing at right side of the skill tree. thanks for your comments! No rest for the wicked

Alright so after I slept on it, I do think Shadow ends up being ever so slightly more efficient.
If we modify our current ranger build to drop Master of the Arena and Mana flows to bring it in line with a very similar Shadow tree I was working on last night: Ranger Build: 147% life 0% mana regeneration 4% life regeneration 18% res all 191% proj damage 169% dot 50% chaos damage 7 jewel socket We get a net damage increase of 410% Shadow: 145% life 0% mana regeneration 4% life regeneration 18% res all 201% chaos damage 99% dot 135% projectile damage 7 jewel socket Net damage: 435% at the cost of -2% life The central issue I see with this is that the Ranger build (at first glance, anyway) appears to be more flexible. However, for Iron Reflexes, Shadow definitely seems the better option. Ranger IR Tree 147% life 0% mana regen 4% life regen 18% res all 74% chaos damage 169% dot 151% proj damage 7 jewel socket Net damage: 394% Shadow IR Tree 150% life 0% mana regen 4% life regen 18% res all 130% chaos damage 169% dot 135% proj damage 7 jewel socket Net damage: 434% Differences: +3% life, +40% damage Ultimately I guess what I'm saying is if you prioritize regeneration (both mana and life) and a bit of flexibility to move things around on the tree, go Ranger. If you want to prioritize damage over utility, go Shadow. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Dec 11, 2015, 1:55:18 PM

It's official, mates: find BASE DAMAGE / minute (thx) below of old and new poison / caustic arrow.
2.0 Poison Arrow lvl 20: 56'845 2.0 Poison Arrow lvl 22: 74'994 2.0 Poison Arrow lvl 24: 98' 712 2.0 Poison Arrow lvl 26: 129'662 2.1 Caustic Arrow lvl 20: 33'020 2.1 Caustic Arrow lvl 22: 41'352 2.1 Caustic Arrow lvl 24: 51'667 2.1 Caustic ARrow lvl 26: 64'421 at lvl 20 it's a minus of 41.9% at lvl 26 it's a minus of 50.3% higher level, higher minus. BUT Void Manipulation lvl 20 +39% (and rising after that +1% / level) Rapid Decay lvl 20 +39% DoT (and rising after that +1% / level) now, what will the consequences be for our links / bow?

Just curious, why don't you take Fatal Toxins circle? "increased damage with poison" should apply to both PA initial hit and cloud, shouldn't it?
| |
" Nope, because the cloud is chaos damage, not poison damage, and the cloud is a ground effect that scales seperately purely with gem levels and is not modified by the bows physical damage value. @ Chrono, thanks for the info in general, but those values are wrong. You don't get 100k+ dps with PA in 2.0. Those aren't BASE damage anyway, base damage for level 20 gem before was like.. 1088? IIRC. Those are "damage per minute" values. And completely useless. As for gems, I'll be checking the in-game tooltip and doing an Atziri run before rolling in Talisman. That'll decide for me whether to drop AoE for another gem. Idk, poehub seems fucked in general, not sure I'd trust it. But presuming it's right and its damage scaling is as you say, drop Slower Proj for Void Manip. We don't want to reduce our duration unless we need to drop that AoE. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth on Dec 11, 2015, 3:12:39 PM
