Hi all, great build thanks heaps!!

Im a bit stuck on a few things...

I seem to be having mana issues - every second shot is just a normal arrow. Im using grace and clarity though so that could be it?

Sitting at 3800 life level 79. Not really clearing maps THAT quickly, its seems when i'm in a map with my cyclone mate he is doing huge damage.

What can i better other than the obvious chest piece and bow. Not quite at my second andvarius either but that doesnt matter too much right now.

Help appreciated!! :)

Chrono-use seem really knowledgeable.

I am currently stuck. My goal is to farm Void battery, and then later on Skyforth.

Void battery is 100% achievable I know.

The thing is, I want to use my CA char to farm that currency for my "main".

1.How much more currency do I need to invest into my CA to get to a point where any further upgrade would only be optimization? Basically how much more until I can use him as farm char and any upgrade is a small % increase in farm time/enabler for higher tier maps.

2.Whats the best course of farming? Getting bunch of arenas then running to bosses and culling them?

3.How fast can I hope to get Void battery (4 ex=4*80c)?

yeah that is with enlighten, see my boots just some post above yours.

maybe post your tree so I can have a look, seems really odd that you run oom after 1 shot already with that low of a reservation on mana globe.

for your upgrade priority, try getting a good EV chest for life and resists to enable a second andvarius first, before trying to get a 6L. We make money even in tier1 maps, you don't have to run the most difficult content to be a money-printing machine ^^

if you really are into saving, run blue tier 1 - 4 maps all day. the transmutes have no real price and you constantly find them back, trade up alts, alchs, jeweller and fuses to exalt or chaos. ultimate goal are exalteds for me, they have trading value and can be converted back to anything really fast if you have to.

How often are you firing the CA? I ran into similar issues before I realized this isn't a spam shots at the bad guys build, it's fire, wait for the monsters to die, fire again.

So going the pierce damage nodes will have a big effect? I had a feeling they wouldn't have a big impact so I've been waiting to do those last (naive of me). Yeh my gem is only at 18. I might buy a 20 corrupted then re-level my 20 one at 20% qual.

Thats actually a really good idea.. Then i wont have the INT issues either. Thanks, you guys are really helpful!!

Careful, building one of these to fund another character often results in THIS character becoming your main. :D

The currency required to build one of these into a farming machine is minimal. You need a +2 5 link bow, which is a couple chaos, if that. You'll spend a few chaos on gloves and helm. Boots really should be Goldwyrms, which will run you 20+ chaos, up to an exalt for a perfect set. A couple Andy rings will cost ~2ex, but those are your only big expense. You can make do with self found belt / chest as long as you get some decent resists, same with the jewels.

Once you have the resists to run capped with dual andy rings, you can run low level blue maps all day and farm chaos recipes, 6 socket items for jewelers, etc.

I think this is it, it only is really noticeable against big heal monsters where i feel like i want to keep attacking. Also when i party up with friends and they just go in and keep attacking i feel like my damage isn't doing much because it takes time. I think its a playstyle thing, when im on my own i just run through chuck a few poison arrows in packs and keep going then come back. Where as a fast cyclone marauder is just tearing through everything.

Oh yes, the 100% pierce is crazy. It's so good it feels like cheating. :D

How are people getting beyond 18k tooltip DPS.

I know that isnt calculating all the multipliers but where is everyone else at? (End-game wise).

I got my +3 bow + carcass + jewelers + 20Q gems.
