[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

My thoughts on the league so far:
Spoiler
After all the talk of HOWA last league, I decided to give it a go this league. Easy, cheap +3 bows and legacy Goldwyrms available (+30 IIQ for 2.5ex? Yes please!) If I use the currency savings on the +3 bow to buy a legacy Goldwyrm... I'm absolutely second guessing myself now! Hell, there's even IIQ gems, for crying out loud.
I've been playing archers for so long that switching to a playstyle like HOWA was a major challenge, but I'll admit I'm really starting to enjoy it now. My toon isn't even close to optimized and I'm still turning mobs into a fine red mist, tough rares melt pretty quick, and even tough bosses don't last very long. Seems that the price of endgame gear is much higher than normal this league. Normally I expect the price to spike early league, then settle down a fair bit. This time, the peak isn't dropping very fast. Of course, there are 30% more people playing 2 weeks in than the last few leagues, so perhaps demand is up. Also, currency generation is significantly boosted - legacy variants / leaguestones sell for enough to boost currency generation by at least 50% for me, anyway. More currency means people are willing to spend more on average. I haven't seen anywhere near the amount of currency market manipulation this time, although item market manipulation seems to be more rampant. Might be due to the higher population again, I guess. Much easier to detect and avoid, though. I'm even considering holding off on Mass Effect for a while, given the reviews I've seen so far, and putting more time into the league instead.

I think you'll really enjoy HoWA. As soon as I 6-link the nice ES chest I recently purchased, I'll start on a HoWA toon. Oh, and really interesting know that the Item Quantity gem drops this league - do you by chance know what leaguestones are needed for the gem to drop? |

What is better to run this build, evasion or armour? I have like 11k evasion and 2.5k life and i don't feel comfortable to clear maps.

" Evasion, and 2.5k life is your problem, not your evasion. You want ~3.5k to start mapping. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" What is best way to get max cap of life? Because all my gear has life, and some jewels also, and i still have 2.5k life :/ |

" You're looking to get 60+ flat life on all gear slots (that aren't uniques, obviously) then add increased life % on the tree. I can more definitively give you advice if you unlock your characters in your profile (and lmk which character to look at) but my best guess is if you have at least 50 life on all non-unique slots, you just haven't taken enough % life on the tree. You could also be underlevelled, which is preventing your ability to access those % life nodes. Usually when people come in here with low life values, the issue typically isn't gear but rather that they went absolutely full-tilt into damage nodes on the tree rather than trying to strike a balance between dps and survivability.
