[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I definitely prefer Acro for this build. I find it lets me get away with being a lot more blasé in my playstyle.

As a Ranger, do you guys like the Iron Reflex's variant or Acro version better?

I'm just curious...I'm in IR right now, but haven't decided if I want to stay that way or not. Lvl 90 if it matters.

Although I play as a shadow, I respeced IR and spent an extra point to reach Acro. Monsters never missed a single shot aimed at me and I was pinned down a lot. Now I move freely and I can dodge most of the attacks, so definitely Acro is the way to go with this build.

In another note; anyone below L50 and posted before today in this guide is welcomed to a free:

I have a couple extra for whoever needs it. Just PM me in-game.

I was originally spec'd into IR, but dropped a 5l'd Queen of the Forest so I respecced into Acrobatics for the increased movement speed. Already feel better with everything missing more often.

Still waiting for my carcass jack to drop. Converting all my exalts earned into fusings right now. I'm at 1,135 fuse right now...almost there!

I have 1ex and 50c. Here is my gear. What should I focus my funds towards? I have max res except cold and chaos and some decent, but not OP, IIR. I also don't have any jewel slots in tree yet, so no jewels equipped. I am open to buying them as jewel slots are in my near future.

Finesse, Heart of Oak, up to Shadow life, thru Entropy, up to Blood Drinker, Growth of Decay, Method to the Madness, the entire Duelist section (starting with Dirty Techniques, then Master of Arena, Fury Bolts, Golem's Blood), Scion Life, finish the right-side loop by going through Herbalism, remove Method to the Madness for frenzy charges/jewel slots, then polish the rest of the tree off.

You'd be following the correct tree. Notice:

...remove Method to the Madness

Method to the Madness is just a temporary levelling cluster. You eventually spec out of it to use those 9 points for the more efficient jewel slots, which result in you pathing on the outer right near Herbalism, Acro and all that jazz.

But because you want to get to Shadow as quick as possible, you pop directly up from Finesse to Shadow and get all the good stuff there. Then because there's a bit of travel required before you pick up any more damage if you go straight to Duelist, you pick up Method to compensate so you're not sitting on less damage than you possibly could have.

Your other option is to path up to Shadow, grab all that stuff, then spend time finishing the Herbalism/Acro loop, and once you're connected to Shadow via the right side nodes, you can remove the more direct travel nodes coming out from Heart of Oak and send those down toward Duelist but that ends up being around six points sitting around doing nothing until you make that connection.

Hence, the temporary Method pickup. Min-maxes your point usage while levelling.

(All this of course assumes you're going to be using CA pretty much asap, because otherwise there's no reason to get Method, which is purely chaos damage. If you're going to be levelling up to maps with EK/Searing bond, then it's exactly the same as above, but you just don't touch Method and instead remove only those travel nodes after you complete the loop, because you'll still want to get to Shadow asap for the DoT support for Searing, and to prepare for the final tree).

Thanks man :) Such details much wow
