[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Hi,

I just tried Atziri for the first times with this build and I have some questions. I'm level 91 with 4630 life and running grace. The trashes were easy although they took forever to die compared to other trash in maps.

I did it twice. The first time, I died once to the vaal (killed one too fast), twice to the trio (rain then the clouds) and once to Atziri (flameblasts). The second time, I died again to the vaal (same thing), did the trio deathless and then I died for all the remaining portals on Atziri (flameblasts). Seems I simply was lucky the first time.

It seems to me that with a such a gear and a level 91, it should be easier... Am I really that bad ? It feels really squishy and the dps is not great (but maybe I watched too many videos done in high end builds).

Do you have any tips ?

Here is my gear:

Spoiler


Thanks

For now, I'll go back to my maps :(

It's literally just experience. You should be able to do it deathless at your level, with your stats.

The entire run.

It won't be easy to do, hell, I even die sometimes just getting caught out of position but I've done 3-4 deathless runs with 4.5k life.

This is a deathless 2.0 Beta run I did, so the dps was a bit better, and the build wasn't quite finished (hence Purity), but the principles are exactly the same.

Vaals at 3:25
Trio at 5:44
Atziri 8:26

For the Vaal fight it's just a matter of timing the kills so they're almost simultaneous.

For the trio, Tentacles first, Dual striker second, Cycloner last

Atziri, just practice and getting used to the timing of her different skills. The biggest piece of advice here for the main phase is "keep moving," that way when she does target a flameblast on you, by the time it's ready to explode you're already outside of it. For the big ones, quicksilver to the edges.


Compared to other Atziri killer builds, this one requires more skill to get done, you can't just afk the fight. It's about awareness and positioning.

Hej, i have some defensive problems. Im running mid tier maps but i only have 3.3k HP. I dont know where i am missing so much hp compared to others. The only idfference in the skill tree is that i havent gotten to the scion life wheel, but that should not be like 1k hp difference?

your helmet, gloves, belt and necklace can each have about 30-60 more life on them, which adds up to a couple hundreds life on your character.
Another note: your jewels seem really bad considering the rest of your gear. All 4 of them only have 1 desirable affix, you should find jewels with 2 good affixes very cheapily on poe.trade or just spamming some alts. When u have a jewel with 2 good affixes you can regal them to hopefully make an amazing CA jewel.

I was wondering what is consindered good rools on jewels? Jewels are a new feature i have not played around with. I Imagine i want to have chaos damage + damage over time roll on all jewels. Life and resist if needed?

I also have two question:
Is lightning coil or Carcass Jack better? I feel like lightning coil is better if one can get enough resist (need int rolls on gear for maxed purity of lightning).

Why dont people run divination destilation? [nvm figured it out]

Carcass for clearing, Lightning Coil for defense. Your call, though res balance will be a lot tricker with Coil.

As for jewels, damage rolls this build can utilize are: chaos, area, dot, projectile, and global. You will ideally want 1 life roll, 1 damage roll, and depending on your res balance, 1 resistance roll to help compensate for Andvarius. If your res balance is fine, you want 1 life, 2 damage.

(Ofc in an ideal world, you'd be able to afford tri-damage and life, or dual damage, life & res, but this build is planned around three affixes per jewel).

Also, thanks comoestoy for helping out =)

@Serleth IS the shadow tree on page 1 none IR still the optimal for shadow MF solo mapping?? the one where you dont pick up DT but get Method of Madness. Thx
I left the Acro Shadow tree up just for comparison purposes for anyone who is interested.

If you want Acro, Ranger is still the choice.

If you want IR, you go Shadow, but you will need to do a bit more work to get it done (to the tune of an extra 20 int on gear)

yeah that is something i don't understand,i see most gear here,and people almost have 0 int on gear,i need to take a +30 point, + a necklace who gives a shit of int to get max lvl wither and vulna

my gear atm


the chest helped me a lot ,nice chest for me
They're probably doing something else with their tree to compensate instead of doing it on gear.
