[outdated] Caustic Arrow Solo Map MFer (20/300+)
" I usually cull with flame totem when I have a 5-link bow. Your links should be: Flame Totem - Item Rarity - Culling Strikes - Faster Projectiles GMP doesn't help Flame Totem much - the flames shoot out in a pretty tight cone even when more projectiles are added to the skill. |

Sorry for the delay in the replies here, folks. IRL.
" https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1291803/page/314#p12977199 Thanks go out to hank for providing his opinion and answering your other questions. " If you recall, I said in that reply something along the lines "with the information we have at this time, Ranger's the obvious choice." -- At the time of that remark, the Scion class had yet to be revealed. Then it was. And we discovered Scion pwned Ranger. Hence the switch. " If you want to cull bosses, sure, but I didn't find it to be all that much of a difference maker when I was levelling in 2.0. Distillate's just a pain to run. It's more important imho to not burn portals by sacrificing a life flask and occasionally dying or to sacrifice the ability to run two movement flasks. Either situation means the benefit of distillate falls off. It's your call though, I just don't feel it's worth the sacrifice. If you are going to use it, lower your clarity level and drop the third non-Seething life flask. The quicksilvers aren't an option, imho. " Okay, sure, I missed that, but you're wasting two Ascendency points just to cover off the damage you're missing from wasting four points on the tree by starting as a Duelist. Oh, and Scion gets you an extra two passive points to use on the main tree, as well. For what, Fortify up permanently? It's nice, but you could just get a +1 endurance charge belt, 45% dodge, 35% spell dodge, and hit Enduring Cry with a CWDT - IC setup. You'll barely get hit, and when you do, you're invulnerable anyway. " No, 100% is the cap. You're forgetting Occultist: increased damage if a cursed enemy's been killed in the last 4 seconds and -chaos res to cursed enemies (which is effectively a more damage modifier). Pierce gets dropped for Empower once you have Piercing Shots. That's also why the Deadeye branch comes in handy. In conjunction with Piercing Shots and the Deadeye half of Scion, you keep your 100% pierce chance to benefit from Drillneck and free up a gem slot for a more potent gem: Empower. ** Thanks again to everybody that contributed replies in my absence.

Can someone pleas explain it to me why we are not picking up Method of Madness and Atrophy? I guess I am missing something... Thanks!

Is there some kind of glitch or a miscalculation from my side? we have %4 life regenerate from tree and %4 degenerate from Blood Rage. Yet I manage to lose a very small amount of life in hideout!
On a side note I think it's time to save currency to turn my +2 to +3 as I'm unable to run high tier Vulnerability/ slower %40 maps without losing a big chunk of ehp most of the time. Thanks again. |

" The opportunity cost of these passives is too high. While it's tempting to go for these because they say "chaos damage" and we indeed do chaos damage, we can pick up more powerful nodes closer to our tree by instead investing in things like "increased projectile damage" and "increased damage over time". All of these passives effect our DPS equally, so there is no reason to waste a ton of points pathing around the tree for chaos damage when we have so many other options right close to our tree.

" We should actually have 5% life regen: Master of the Arena = 1% Golem's Blood = 1.6% Heart of Oak = 1% Growth and Decay = 1% Dot & Life regen node = 0.4% I have no issues maintaining Blood Rage with this set up. Do you perhaps have a piece of gear or jewel equipped that increases your damage taken? Such as this?: Legacy SC IGN: Octora

" Thank you very much for your kind replay. I don't know how I made a silly mistake of forgetting Master of Arena! That solved the problem of degenerate in hideout. Now let's see how I'd do in those high tier maps. Thanks again mate. |

I am using my iir gem with a culling flame totem. As such, my totem has more iir than i do with ca. How do they interact with each other? If the flame totem is hitting a boss, for instance, as i hit it with a ca cloud, which iir figure is used to determine the drop?
