[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Interesting read Bro thanks. I suppose the next target will be Andvarius one then.

By the way what's your bow now? You didn't link it. Managed to 5 link it?
Oh, no, it's the same bow. 250 or so jewellers, no 6S yet. QQ

Two more points of discussion.

Serleth do you find yourself alching 71 maps? I'm currently debating whether I should do that consistently to accelerate the map pool.

I'm also thinking about using Pierce as the 5th link instead of Slower Projectiles for the 100% Pierce chance.

EDIT:

Also, gems to Quality ASAP:
Slower Projectiles
IIR
Empower

Anything else? Seems like this build doesn't really need that many Q gems. Increased area on PA and Inc Area quality is nice I guess but definitely not necessary. Or maybe it's possible to drop Inc. Area.

EDIT 2:

OKAY. To sum up:
5L Poison Arrow - Empower - Pierce - Conc. - IIR

Basically saying Pierce does all the work.

Thoughts?

Ash / Ice makes no sense. This build's damage is 99% on the Poison Arrow damage cloud.

Default auras are Clarity and a Purity to cap resists due to double Andvarius.

Grace / AA could be future options.

First, I'll answer maps: no. Currently 81, still running blues and sustaining 71-72 maps. I might start alcing soon but I'm tossed between converting alcs to chaos to afford other things or not.

I'd have to test it when I geta Drillneck but I'm pretty sure if anything you drop pierce, since SP is a multiplier and pierce is additive. But it might be adding enough to make it worthwhile. Not sure.

Not going to respec a character in standard to test it.

I don't think a respec is needed. Basically you have 100% Pierce Chance with the Pierce support gem. I'm essentially replacing Increase AOE with Pierce so I can run IIR.

With 100% Pierce you might have to fire two arrows instead of one but everything in a straight line will die. Yes you get less damage but you get quite a bit more stuff in return.

Thoughts on this and Q gems?

I'd honestly prefer better AoE coverage, bit less MF, IIR in the 6L. /shrug

Quality: only two that *really* matter is PA itself (AoE coverage) and Empower. That's priority. Everything else you can 20% recipe when they hit 20.
