[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

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,
Most of them are in the guide OP. Missing two, but it's the same sorta deal. Life, res, damage.

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.


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?

Assuming you drop AoE for RD and SP for VM, it's probably like... a -10% damage or so.

Then Wither probably offsets that.

2.0 Tree
151% life
3.6% regen
10% all res
169% proj damage
40% mana regen
79% chaos damage
62% DoT

2.1 Tree
147% life
5.0 regeneration
18% all res
191% proj damage
40% mana regeneration
20% chaos damage
169% DoT


You dont see on your skill tooltip damage over time and 169% vs 62% is massive, wonder whats the real sheet dps ;)

It's area damage that doesn't show up on tooltip.

DoT, chaos and projectile damage are all reflected in tooltip.

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.

It's probably better grabbing some AoE nodes somewhere and using both VM and RD, along with Wither.

Likely keeps it relatively on-pace.

Is Projectile Damage still working with CA? It does not show up in the gem description.
