[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

I'm hitting just over 13k DPS with 7 frenzy charges, with a somewhat squishy 3.5k life or so. I do have another level 75 Scion I could respec for Occultist/Deadeye, but considering this char (which hasn't Ascended yet) how might I go about getting more overall benefit out of the build? In maps with less lightning damage I replace Pandemonium Whorl with an Andy which leaves me with 70 lightres

Some suggestions:

1) Use Tora's bench to remove the "cannot rule attack mods" suffix from your bow. Replace with crafted Leo's increased damage over time prefix.

2) Temporarily spec into the +18 Lightning Resist node above Sentinel if you're worried about Lightning Resistance and equip an Andvarius.

3) Replace belt with life plus high triple resistance belt. This will allow you to change other pieces for magic find pieces.

4) Replace gloves with high life/resistance rare with 30+ish rarity.

5) Try to get about 35-40% magic find on your helm.

6) Flask setup - get 3 Seething Hallowed Life Flasks of X where X is whatever you want (I personally go with 3 Staunching). Why? Because life instantly applies. You just tap your life flasks rapidly when in trouble and you'll almost never die. Replace other two flasks with quicksilvers. Run clarity if having mana issues.

Did my first endgame lab yesterday and got this enchant. You can imagine my reaction :D

How much does it affect your total damage? I imagine this would be additive, like having +40% proj damage instead. But if it is multiplicative with other bonuses, it would be huge!

"increased/reduced" = additive, "more/less" = multiplicative (mnemonic, "more or less").

40% increased damage is quite nice, probably 10 to 15% boost to cloud damage

As usual, the plethora of questions arrive while I'm sleeping and Hank/Chrono do an amazing job covering off the answers.

I should probably pay you guys.

Thanks again.

Just like hank replied, it's the same as 4x 10% projectile nodes, a huge boost considering it is "free". About that helm, do you CA pros have an idea of how much it costs? Because I was looking earlier and find out that there are 361 possible helm enchantments per tier so it's a 0.277% chance, it must worth a lot I believe.

Serleth, I will gladly accept any feathers you do not want.

@tgodoy85

I regularly see ilvl84 helms with the 40% CA enchant going for 40-50c. When you start getting into helms which are partially to fully crafted the prices start to climb pretty dramatically. One example of a partially crafted hem is this Athlete's Lion Pelt of Haast (Amazing for Hidden Potential). I can only imagine what a fully crafted rare would fetch on the player market.

Yeah, just like I thought. I was talking to a friend yesterday and we get to a 10ex consensus, guess we were not too far away from the actual value.

I had a nice Goldrim with the increased CA damage last league, listed it for about that - mostly because I didn't really want to *sell* it. Yours is likely worth that due to it being end game gear instead of leveling gear if nothing else.

What the rest of the crew said, and I'll add my +1 for seething flasks. The things are amazing - they are always full, they heal instantly - I keep one for bleeding, one for poison, and one for freezing. If you're low on health, spam the 123 keys and you're instantly back to normal with most nasty effects cured.

Also: Ascend. You can easily take the lab / Izaro in normal and cruel by now, you'll get some free enchantments, some extra passive points, and you can finish off either deadeye or occultist, either of which will improve your survival rate by a lot.

Not unless you've figured out some way to monetize the thread first! ;)
