[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

HI, great guide.

I used your build for 1M flashback, and I must say I enjoyed it a lot. I changed a few things, mainly in terms of defence.

- I decided to go with IR and Rearguard instead of acrobatics and Drillneck.
Currently I'm at 13.4k armour, 24% attack block, 12% spell block + Arctic Armour.

- My tooltip cloud dps is 17595 in a +3 bow with lvl 20 PA, lvl 2 Empower, 7 frenzy charges, and fire golem.

- I'm not using Blood Rage to generate and maintain charges, only Frenzy.

- I also decided to use a mana flask instead of investing in mana recovery on tree

- as for MF I'm at 95/301 IIQ/IIR. While using IIQ gem instead of iAoE the area of effect suffers a lot but I plan to counter it with +1 arrow Rearguard in the near future.

nvm

@EvilPayaso you forgot dem boots sir. How do you stack 95% IIQ? Can only see around ~60% on your gears :> just for interest.

I got this build pretty much finished. Currently Im at 68 / 294 pre-flask, and 81 / 348 post flask. Still want to trade some IIQ for some more IIR, propably by getting a new helmet (or should I just leave it like that?). Not sure where the best IIR/IIQ balance sits.

What Im finding most difficult is to keep the Divination flask effect up, as it always recoveres my mana faster than I can spend it (slow bow *sigh*). I mostly just use it for rare mobs and bosses and keep the effect up for ~6 sec by continuously shooting PA. But it’s dangerous as I can’t move.. So Im trying to find a handy solution there to optimize the divination flask usage (suggestions?).

I also chose not to go with Greed’s armour, as the bonus of Carcass Jack is just too good to turn down (12% more damage, 20% fx radius, life, allres, lots of evasion/es and quiete flexible colors).

That’s the tree (Im using an Inspired Learning jewel for fun and some xtra clearspeed)


And my gears look like this. Improvement suggestions are very welcome!

Boots added.

15% form Greed's + 9% from Ventor + 28% from legacy goldwyrm + 43% from 20/20 IIQ gem = 95% iiq

Would 76 qty and 150 rarity or 229 rarity and 33 qty be better?



also use 71 rarity gem or 43 qty gem

C = (1 + IIQ/100) * (1 + IIR/100)


C = (1 + 76/100) * (1 + 150/100)
C = 1.76 * 2.5
C = 4.4

C = (1 + 33/100) * (1 + 229/100)
C = 1.33 * 3.29
C = 4.37


76/150 is, theoretically, slightly better.

Use that formula to calculate C value in the future to determine what ratio you should be working with.

That said, from my experience, for the purposes of recipe completion it's always better to prioritize IIR first until you're above 250 IIR. So I would drop your 9/21 Ventor's gamble (as per my discussion which you can find in the FAQ) for an Andvarius ring. Your 9/38 Ventor's is good enough to run with instead of Andy for that slot.

If I'm understanding your gearing right, with the IIQ gem slotted in that should put you at 67/199 with the IIQ gem and a perfect 15/70 Andvarius, or 24/270 with IIR

C = Andvarius, Ventors, IIQ
C = (1 + 67/100) * (1 + 199/100)
C = 1.67 * 2.99
C = 4.993

C = Andvarius, Ventors, IIR
C = (1 + 24/100) * (1 + 270/100)
C = 1.24 * 3.7
C = 4.588

As you can see, regardless of which gem you use, replacing that lower-rolled 9/21 Ventor's with a perfect Andy is better, and significantly better when you run the IIQ gem.

Although I will reiterate: in my experience this C value thing is a bit misleading until IIR is above 250. YMMV.

if we cannot get drillneck, what quiver are we looking for?! only life/res?! wht else can we get from quiver?!

and is a 4L+2 better than a 5L+1?!

Life / res is correct.

4L +2 is better, but you can buy a white 5L for 3-5c and then spend maybe 60-80 alterations to roll +2 so it's not a big deal.
