[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Yeah, CA can't do the Hall, for that reason alone. CI.

Zana's honestly not much of a grind either, at least not with the currency this build generates. /trade 820 to buy Zanas, /global 820 for free ones.

I got something like 300-500k in one day (4-5 hours playtime), including 60k from the rotation. Shouldn't take more than 3-5 days from the start of Zana 7 if you really press the issue with it. That said, you still have a month to just bank on rotations for now.

I got lucky with the Thief, got it while levelling. =D

If you need to force the ghosting, run Coves or a similar open area map (Mud Geyser's probably the best option). All you do for that is slowly walk through the map, picking off white and blue packs, and kite rares until you get near ghosts. Let the possession happen then fire away.

What cards do you have left for the div challenge?

I'm working on The Sigil, Vinia's, and Hope.

I've already turned in Chaotic Disposition, Flora's, Gambler, and Lover. All the easy ones, of course. :)

You'll have better luck with Dapper Prodigy. I can't recall ever actually dropping a Hope.

Meanwhile I got four Dapper Prodigies in something like 10 Residence maps. It's significantly more common.

After I hit 35-36 challenges, I bought my way to 39... Divination Cards were my most expensive... I traded for Chaotic Disposition at value from Global 820... found Flora/Gambler/Lover, bought most of Vinia's token cards for 5-7c each... then it got expensive... except for REALLY expensive cards, all the relatively hard to find cards seemed to be priced evenly... few weeks ago a full set of any of them cost about 120c (divided by the number of cards needed)

Hope is so rare I'd say it didn't exist if I didn't know otherwise... I mean... it drops in T1 maps... I've run a ton of them normally, and then every vaal'd Carto Strongbox I've found in Labyrinth and Dried Lake/etc... 5-6 boxes worth... and plenty more besides when I was trying for other cards... and I'm sure most people in here have similar stories...

I can't seem to find the final skill tree for this build - actually, I've been winging it since about level 50; I'm 73 and my dps and life are nowhere near as advertised :p Can someone please share the scion final tree with me?

Edit: I don't know how to delete posts. The link for the acro scion now works for me; on my other device it showed as 60 points remaining last time I checked... Nevermind!

@wartcorker: by far the biggest DPS boost for CA is skill levels... Listed numbers about a dozen pages back... but I think I was lucky to hit 9k tooltip buffed at your level with the 5L setup (Was still using Increased AOE gem I think...)... reached 15-18k with the 6L empower 3 setup and 23-25k with the +3 instead of +2

Help me out please
Does the Powerful Precision give caustic damage boost with using drillneck ?

@Piro: Grats on 40 bud =)

@igor: Yes, it does, but there's no reason to take it. You get more benefit out of the additional arrow from Endless Munitions, which allows you to drop the AoE gem in favour of another damage gem, and you need all the Ranger Ascendancy points to get it.

check my gear + gems setup + passive tree and give me comment


Gear


Please ignore the skills on boots :)

Passive tree


EDIT NOTE:

without any buff i have 15504 Chaos Damage Per Second

a) I don't do gear / tree checks on this thread anymore unless there's an instructive point to be made that goes beyond the scope of this guide.

b) From what I can see from your tree and gear, given that you haven't linked all your gear, you're not even running this build (no IIR gem, Atziri's Step instead of Goldwyrm = indication you're playing CA normally) which means

c) There are other threads more suited to assisting you with running CA in a non-MF variation.
