[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" I didn't check poe for prices on Wither - good news that they're cheap. And yes, this means that you wouldn't need to level your Wither to 20 just to get the quality. I'd still level Wither up to level 12 though as levels do provide increased AOE and reduced mob speed as you pointed out in your post above. Good catch on the low q20 Wither cost.

" Well, scoured it last night. 60-70 fusing and 260ish blacksmith stones BAM got the 6 link woohoo. Stupid lucky since I think it took me 150 to 5-link in the league start. Quality helps I guess. Started the crafting process again. I'm about 600 alts and 5-6 regals in and I hit this point: Wondering if you guys would scour and start over for better suffix mods before master crafting? Or just say fuckit and craft as is? I already have a bad +3 6L bow to use so it not a huge rush. Last edited by Gryphyn#2650 on Jan 11, 2016, 11:15:01 AM

" Well... things will pick up quite a bit as your gear and gems progress. A lot more than you might think. I noticed that you don't seem to be concentrating on magic find at the moment - which is fine (but note, that by focusing on magic find first, you'll probably be able to improve your gear faster than if you went for DPS fist). That said, one "trick" I've played in the past is to use the Hidden Potential jewel with a bunch of blues (I ran 8 blues at one point, LOL). You can get pretty good DPS this way on starting-level gear - but again, keep in mind, that you'll probably progress faster by equipping magic find gear as soon as you're able. tl/dr; don't worry too much about clear speed/dps at first. Just focus on magic find initially. That way you can buy even more magic find, and it will snowball - to the point that you'll be able to purchase the nice DPS gear you want. Edit: Oh, be sure to keep frenzy charges up at all times. Frenzy is a huge boost to DPS. And for bosses, you'll want to eventually get a Wither totem going - looks like you're working on this though. I usually purchase and Andvarius, then a Goldwyrm and get a lot of rarity on my gloves/helm. Then I'd get a drillneck and another Andvarius. Finally I'd save up for a 6-link +3. The one time I did run 8 rares along with Hidden Potential I found myself far, far, far behind in terms of gear than just about everyone else. Lesson learned - focus on MF first.

" From the Jan-10-2016 news announcement. Looks like we have another "more damage" support to consider soon. |

" The ideal master craft is: * Mastercraft a random suffix (dex is cheapest) * Regal for +2 * Scour & repeat until successful * Remove suffix mod @ bench so you're left with a single stat +2 bow gems rare. * No attack mod + exalt all gems +1 * Remove cata mod @ bench * Multimod, dot, two resistances. If you're already running a +3 bow, that's the process you should take so you can force dual res and Leo DoT. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth#4392 on Jan 11, 2016, 3:05:00 PM

I absolutely love this build. Been getting lucky with drops (2 sets of Maligaro gloves in as many days). I love seeing big ticket items drop!
Following the advice of what some others said...I dropped high level wither/vulernability and clarity for lower level ones because the INT was getting crazy. This is my gear now (just finished mutlimodding my bow today). And before anybody says anything...I ran out of blessed orbs for one of my andy's haha. Life is a little low but I'll make that up with a couple more levels and jewels. Dot cloud is just over 11k right now. My next goal is to save fuse/chromes to 6L my bow.
