Hey need some Izaro advice...


What is your problem exactly? What phase? Are you being oneshotted? Are your flasks running out of charges?

I made about 15 runs so far and died like 2 times because the charge oneshotted me. All of his attacks are very well telegraphed so it was movement mistakes on my part.
Flasks are easily recharged from the skeleton army he summons.

Use your blink arrow, golem and wither totem as distractions and don't stop moving. Should be easy enough.


Yeah that's what I thought too :)

I run around, and actually survive pretty well until he's down on life... then I repeatedly get stuck or he one-shots me.

Good info though, sounds like I have the right idea, but am probably just sucking at execution.
Hi, I am just comparing with another CA build...

Wondering why not pick up the Atrophy too? Since the frenzy would be still at lvl 1, projectile damage is not better right?
No difference between projectile vs chaos on this build. Atrophy is an additional 10 points away from Serleth's tree... Looks like Grocery's tree is lvl 100, and I think Serleth's is ... 92? If you keep going, that would be a great skill to add, although I'd be tempted to go for Method to the Madness instead, it's only 7 points away and comparable.

Progress report: Perandus offered me a Drillneck as well, ~700 coins. :)
On the lookout for a well rolled Andy now.

Projectile damage, chaos damage, area damage, global damage and damage over time all scale the cloud damage equally.

In other words, 10% projectile damage is the same as picking up 10% chaos damage for CA.

Yeah, basically this.

I just did Merciless Izaro after seeing the question, with 4k life, level 73 and 6.5k tooltip dps.

Avoid the charge and it's basically easy with the above tips from mescalito.


Hey Serleth, can you share your current gear? Curious how you have 6.5 tooltip dps and 4k life at lvl73... I'm 83 with 3400 life and 2363 tooltip damage with all 7 charges up and fire golem.

Err... are you looking at the DPS rating at the top, or the Deals XXX chaos damage per second in the description? I'm sitting at 5722 chaos damage per second, and I'm only level 68.

Oh I was looking at the DPS rating at the top... 10435 if I look at the Deals xxx Damage. Weird, if I swap out IIR for chaos damage, my DPS goes up, but the Deals xxx Damage doesn't change.

Guess I don't understand those numbers very well.

And still wanna see Serleth's gear :)

Added chaos damage (gem) doesn't scale the cloud. It's a flat damage modifier that requires a hit.

That's why you'll see it increase the "usual" place you look for the dps, because it's adding the flat damage to the min-max physical of the bow itself.

Playing pretty casual this league so far. Five maps a day pretty much, so my equipment's not as robust as it usually is by this point (normally I'm fully geared other than a 6L after a week).

im curious as to why the scion tree you built is different from your actual tree. Does this mean ive been following an outdated tree in the guide? it says 2.2 scion tree. looks like regrets down the drain
