[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
How do you feel about leech in this build? Would it be worth grabbing the new attack leech nodes next to IR for some extra tank or is it overkill?

" * Because I've tested it and noticed the difference * Because at some point (I can't track it down quickly) GGG confirmed it. " Because I haven't had a spare in case it bricks. No other reason. Not that it'd be a major impact if it dequalities, but I'm nitpicky like that. " Rechrome to use Empower 2 if you can. I think even Empower 1 would outweigh RD (it becomes Empower 2 in the +3 bow), but I'm not 100% certain on that offhand. I have a video that showcases it in my videos section, but here's the brief rundown. * Try time the double vaal kill so you kill both at once, or as close to it as you can get. The second one enrages once the first one dies, so it's important you kill them as close together (time-wise) as possible. * Tentacle boss, then dual striker, then cyclone. The most important thing is kill the tentacle first. The other two are 50/50 for this build. You'll want dispel bleed flasks for the cyclone but that's about it. * Remove curse on hit for Atziri. She reflects curses. * For the split phase, drop an arrow on the any one of the four clones as they spawn, then immediately blink arrow out once they solidify. It takes a few tries to get the timing down, but the flameblaster targets you immediately. Then it's just practice and experience. " You can drop it in 2.1 if you want but it's there mostly to help with the Blood Rage degen. I get this one a lot so I'm adding it to the FAQ. " This build is already kind of slow because of the minimal 10% IMS from Goldwyrm. Greed's makes it slower. You can run Greed's if you want but it basically necessitates two Quicksilver flasks at the minimum. " This build can't leech. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

I checked dps differences. Rapid Decay is better than empower +1 and I think it will be better as well from +2, but can't confirm it. As 6l maybe I would add slower projectiles instead of empower (+2 to gems different than CA won't change things much).

" Huh. That's curious. Looks like the nerf to the base damage was serious enough that even with Concentrated Effect factored in (using vmoddin's calculator), that even Empower 3 is beaten out by a 20/20 rapid decay. I mean, it's not by much (we're looking at a dps difference of 500-1000, and that's WITH Wither Stacks up...), but it would make chroming significantly easier. That's unfortunate. That said, Empower 4 still wins. Looks like it's time to edit the gems section. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Serleth#4392 님이 2015. 12. 28. 오후 2:57:41에 마지막으로 편집

What would you do next with this bow?

" Nothing. It's done. Other than the above discussion regarding how we discovered Empower only beats Rapid Decay (assuming vmoddin's calc is accurate) if Empower is level 4. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" You wouldn't haku it then elreon? or just not enough value for the cost? Re RD - unless it's a major difference, I am not re-chroming this again, i've spent too many already because i messed it up lol. wraeyth#0883 님이 2015. 12. 28. 오후 8:24:34에 마지막으로 편집

" The difference between Empower 3 and RD isn't much, it's like 500dps, 1k with Wither stacks up (8). It's more significant with Empower 2, but yeah I'm in the same boat as you. I spent like 1500 chromes on mine, so fuck it, I'm keeping it because I will eventually get Empower 4, which beats RD. I guess you could scour the suffixes then multimod it yeah but that's unnecessary until you're running Carcass Jack or another unique chest, if you plan to. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

" I'm running CJ already, with capped res via other gear and jewels. Not as much life as I'd like though. I had planned to clear/multimod it before, but now I question the value of doing that. |
