[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)

Interesting take on LL AKA Glass Cannon - I enjoy the play style where you can charge into a room without much caring what's in it - maybe taking a big burst of initial damage - but then quickly recovering ES/life and quickly dispatching whatever's attacking me. With 6Kish ES, this sort of tactic would end up killing me far too often.

@GrimJack
I don't know whether or not you tried this tactic or whether or not it would help against Strikedeezy, but... you can out-range just about every mob using faster projectiles. I cheesed a bunch of the wings, swapping out GMP for faster projectiles and just attacked from range. Usually I'll get a hit or two in, the mob will get a hit or two on me, but then I just back out, regen energy shield and repeat. This allows me to kill any life-based toon.

And many mobs can't even take a hit or two from "faster projectile" spectral throw - so this tactic works really well against a lot of ES mobs too.

As mentioned in several posts above, I'm rolling HoWA for my second toon... but this time, I'm going crit.

Crit seems to offer 40% or more potential DPS than non-crit with possibly similar expenditure for gear.

I'm following Invalesco's guide; Invalesco seems to know what he's talking about and has an easy-going demeanor in his posts. Curiously, his build doesn't use Ancestral Protector - missing out on 15% or so DPS against bosses and whatever content you decide to drop AP.

Meanwhile... Vaal Haste duration has been nerfed so much I'm considering not using it at all - I don't have it linked with Increased Duration - so maybe it's somewhat better than I'm currently experiencing - but wow! - maybe 4 seconds of VH and then it expires - big deal! - and even with ID, duration is going to be on the order of only 6 seconds, as compared to 10 seconds previously.

For me... if for some reason stuff isn't dying fast enough I'll simply drop Ancestral Protector. And then if it's still not dead, I'll pop VH - previously I had VH up as much as possible.

No doubt you've seen Mathil's Starforge cyclone raider... maybe that variant will be strong enough against Shaper to make the build completely viable for all content.

That's epic strategy! I'm absolutely going to liberate that idea next time I give it a go.

PS: Vaal Haste linked to a q20 increased duration is still 7s. And at 24 souls per use, I can keep it up most of the time, as I tend to kill a crapload more than 24 souls every 7 seconds.

Saw this Slayer Ngamahu variant that pulled it off with relative ease. Not the fastest kill, but solid stuff.

Most of you are probably aware of this item:


Equip that and roll Beyond and Breach and optionally Nemesis - massive mob density, huge rampage stacks, DPS boos due to rampage and drops are noticeably much better.

Alternatively you could roll Rampage on the map but if you can use the belt it saves a stone.

I've been rolling Beyond in Dried Lakes leveling my HoWA toon and still getting over 120M exp/hr at level 79 while looting stuff for the chaos recipe.

Out of curiosity, what sort of DPS are you getting on that crit ST toon?

Prices for ES/int gear are just crazy, so I may reroll into something like your toon.

Well, that dagger was 25ex for ~350edps.

I ended up speccing out of a frenzy charge in order to try get more survivable and push a level and due to human error, I died three times and gave up lol. The dps output is just crazy and if there's literally any resistance missing from cap, it's so easy to accidentally kill yourself versus reflect, even with Promise and Vinktar's up.

My last death was to a volatile blood (totally my fault, moused it and just didn't react in time).

That said, with that frenzy charge still allocated and roughly ~5200 life, I was dealing 45k.7 h/o dps and ~92k fully buffed.

If you want to go more budget, I do have a 1ex dagger available.



I think my amulet was ~3ex, rings cost ~2ex total, 6L Belly something like ~5ex? These were when exalt prices were ~90c:1ex.

Total cost of the build without going all-out min-max shouldn't exceed 10-12ex.

Budget dagger btw does 40k hideout.

The extra AoE from the additional projectile is nice, but without Drillneck that's really the only valuable thing you're getting out of Scion's Deadeye.

You could pick Raider, which would enable you to drop Blood Rage, or Pathfinder, which would give you 25% increased damage while flasking.

Any of the three is fine, tbh, it really depends what you want.

Personally, if I was going to use a Quills, I'd use Pathfinder.

I may take you up on the offer of the dagger at some point - but don't hold it for me.

I'm going to see how much DPS crit/HOWA can put out with maybe 5-8ex investment in rings/amulet.

I've got pretty awful gear atm with only 22% crit chance, but h/o DPS at level 87 with aura/golem up is a respectable 31K - with a bit of jewelry investment and some more levels, maybe 55K or so is within reach - which is plenty.

My ES is 9K which is OK - maybe I'll luck out and self-craft a nice ES belt.
