[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

leveling with blade vortex works well, tho i took few crit nodes before switching to CA.
gear: ( my 5L +2bow wait me to get 60 lvl >_< )

i guess after i wear my bow i should just focus on life/eva/res ?

As a hardcore player, yeah, you'll want to switch to MF much later than we would in SC.

I wouldn't even think about adding MF gear in HC til level 75, and I'd personally wait til level 80.

Until then, it's all about life/eva/res. Drop Foible for any amulet with life on it and DUMP levels into Clarity to compensate. Take an intelligence node if you have to.

You'll also want to id every hallowed+ life flask you come across and the moment you see a Seething prefix, use that flask. Quite literally a life-saver in HC to have at least one Seething life flask, and I wouldn't run with less than two.

How do we get from 90% to 100% pierce? I have Deadeye Ascendancy, Drillneck, and the 50% piercing shots wheel, but I'm not sure where my other 10% comes from, any help?

Things are starting to snowball:


I bit the bullet and sold fuse at 4:1 in order to buy the Goldwyrms for 8c; drops starting coming much faster with the Nubricks and Item Rarity gem. Got lucky and dropped an exalt which funded the Andvarius.

Best start so far magic finding in the leagues I've played.

The ways to hit 100% since the changes to the Ascendant is to either using the Pierce Support, or the Poacher's Aim quest jewel. I am not sure if either is worth it in the MF setup.

Does the 90% feel a lot different compared to the 100% in the 2.2 patch?

Another approach is to use the Pierce gem and take the first pierce node (it's 10$) in the Piercing Shots wheel.

But yeah... there may be better nodes to take and just live with 90% pierce.

I'm using a poachers aim

Why do you need Path of the Ranger if u can took rangers points anyway?

i dont see any difference in my evade chance either on full/no full energy shield. where is my shade form last passive O_O

Does far shot (from deadeye) work with CA? If there is a mob right in front of you, and you shoot far past it triggering the cloud from pierce, does that close mob take the 30% inc damage?
