Ranger - [outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+) - Forum

Many thanks for the reply. and thanks for the explanation. " Serleth wrote: End-build DPS with the same gems as before. Does not factor Void Manipulation change, or adding both VM and RD instead of Slower Proj. Just straight screenshot. From the old setup. Also lost about 250 life. Compare that to a previous tooltip of 29k. Both values are with 7 frenzy charges up + golem. ******* They nerfed it hard. It's a 42% reduction at level 20 and about a 51% reduction at level 28. Has nothing to do with my tree, Max. They nerfed the gem.	Posted by max1982 on Dec 11, 2015, 6:39:42 PM Quote this Post
Could you post the jewels you are using please? I know mine aren't good so I need to compare. I lost about 5k damage, %20 total resist and about 1k life compared to the (non-jeweled) 2.0 build. Currently used jewels: Spoiler Aside from the "Poacher's Aim" all the remaining are drops. Thanks,	Posted by Hvakhshathra on Dec 11, 2015, 6:42:28 PM Quote this Post
Most of them are in the guide OP. Missing two, but it's the same sorta deal. Life, res, damage. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth on Dec 11, 2015, 6:57:57 PM Quote this Post

So with VM added (+39%) and RD replaces SP (+10%) can we conclude that it is only -2% at PA lvl28 compare to 2.0?	Posted by Roirraw on Dec 11, 2015, 7:17:49 PM Quote this Post

Assuming you drop AoE for RD and SP for VM, it's probably like... a -10% damage or so. Then Wither probably offsets that. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

DoT, chaos and projectile damage are all reflected in tooltip. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth on Dec 11, 2015, 10:15:09 PM Quote this Post
Granted I'm only using +3 empower, and level 20 caustic arrow... but wow, clearing a level 9 or 10 map with 12.9k dps is really painful. Thanks for all the hard work Serleth. At least this toon let me establish a foothold as a newbie, even in standard. Last edited by SpidaFly on Dec 12, 2015, 12:17:09 AM	Posted by SpidaFly on Dec 12, 2015, 12:16:26 AM Quote this Post
It's probably better grabbing some AoE nodes somewhere and using both VM and RD, along with Wither. Likely keeps it relatively on-pace. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth on Dec 12, 2015, 12:31:14 AM Quote this Post
