[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Rallying cry seems be the choice as the packs are so thight on act 4 maps.
the pit is horrible without it.

Hi, thanks for the build, it's really nice :)
I have a little question about mfing, what is the more efficient method ?
Using the recipe to make 1 chaos (identified set) or 2 chaos ? (unidentified set)
From the beggining I found almost only crappy rare items (2 chaos max trade).

Hey, dunno if this has been addressed yet but slower projectiles's more modifier affects all increased damage, so making sure to get projectile damage over, say, chaos damage is not particularly important.

Definitive source on this?

Equipping slower projectiles. It multiplies my whole damage by the stated amount, even though I have some chaos damage and trap damage (I'm playing a trap build) on the tree.

This is in line with other mods--30% more spell damage makes your fireball deal 30% more damage, regardless of if you have increased fire damage in addition to spell damage.

Finally happened...i just looking for 5L...so i put fus by fus (19 fus) and...

Btw, this

is good for my passive tree?

Alright so, gratz on the 6L first of all.

Second yeah the jewel is fine. Sucks that it's stun duration, but 20%+ damage for one or two nodes is still solid.

There's a lot of debate on this. Even sub ilvl 72 you can find really nice rings with dual t2 resistance and life to sell for decent chaos. I think in new leagues, early on, id recipes are the way to go, but as the league progresses and more people are geared (and some people leave the game, it happens), you can start doing unid recipes up to ilvl 72 items, which is where the t1 resistance unlocks.

I recommend looking at the affix tables on poeaffix.net and studying what ilvls provide what affixes and make your own determination on what you consider to be worthwhile.

Definitely by ilvl 75 though (regal recipes), id all the way.

And then what Dondarion said. Certain base types you can leave unid (Coral rings, coral amulets, paua rings, etc).

Alright, good to know. I thought it might somehow be excepted and apply first, then apply conc effect afterwards. Thanks for clearing that up.

It begins.

STATUS REPORT



Next up, Andvarius and Drillneck. Rather slow grind with a level 84 character and 71 maps, beginning to alch every 71+ map to sustain.

By the way Serleth Pierce and IIR works fine. You sacrifice a very slight bit of clear speed for much much IIR.

Just wanna say thanks serleth for this build. Been having a blast.

Also got a sick deal on a nearly perfect andys.
Was at 7% Implicit but I blessed it to 14%. 2.5ex brodeal

I started my PA build roughly two or three weeks ago and everything is going smoothly. I've enjoyed this experience and look forward to getting further into the game. I have a question though. For the PA link, does it have to be in that order? Or can there be some variance after the first three? I'm not fully familiar with the linking process.

Thank you

Very jealous of all the RNG.

I've had pretty shit drops only just got into 72/73 maps with 145R/0Q
