[3.16][HC][ON BREAK] Caustic Arrow Raider, DoT Focused | Tanky | 6k+ Health | All Content | In-depth

Its amazing how much work did u put in this thread... but in vain when i saw the Divination Distillate flask all the hard work u done is gone... So this is why i saw players running their leech or attack builds with Div Distillate dude delete that flask out of the suggestion... Making Div Distillate is rly hard the best way to do is RF nothing else valuable.. Just for everyone who use that flask wanna tell they just wasting a flask slot. It does nothing for ur builds! Fix that!!!

I'm... not sure how i'm supposed to respond to that. Have hard time teling if it's for real or a joke.

#1 - CA is more like a spell than Attack.
#2 - The build only relies on mana regen and MF flask. Uptime is permanent as it's easy to control mana pool with high attack speed.
#3 - Divination's effectiveness is compareable to biscos, and it's also a good defensive flask for mapping. Certainly not wasted.
#4 - It's not even a mandatory flask (none flasks are, really). It's the way i play and recommend it for everyone.

I'm new to the game (I'm starting from scratch, with nothing unlocked) and the build doesn't go into much detail for what gems to pick at low levels etc

Are there any YouTube videos to help with with this build for new players? I found this build on a YouTube video for starter builds, but seem to be out of my depth as it doesn't give much details for low level items/gems.

I'm sorry to say but this build isn't for you. It's going to be too hard for a newbie to follow the guide. You need basic knowledge first, then you can come back and try it out.

I'm shocked to learn that my build was featured by Lifting, i had no idea until now. What he meant by "starter build" wasn't a build for new players, but a build for already experienced players to start the new league with.

After so many same questions in a row, i'm going to add this one to the FAQ.

Hey! Just want to commend you for being awesome and dedicated by answering all questions at such a short notice. With the extreme mana regen of trickster I decided to add arctic armour just for some extra tankyness and vaal lightning trap for bosskilling (I also have a conc effect for bosses instead of rarity). My endgame is probably +1 curse and then enfeeble+enhance in a 6l cursing frenzy setup.

I just got my +3 bow and I'm a little lost at what my next goal should be. I'm playing trickster (the level 84 character). Unsure if I should go for +3 Staff, Kintsugi chest, more gg rares or something else?

Your current setup is quite far away from what i designed. You shouldn't have problem while mapping thanks to Trickster's damage, but end game / high tier red bosses are going to be pain in the long run. You're barely capped at 75% resists with a quiver (so using ED swap might easily kill you). Elemental weakness curse going to be massive problem for some bosses. Your movement speed is low as well.

Using QotF on Raider is pointless, but in your case it should be the best choice. Drop elemental res on flask for anti-curse flask (does same thing and much more). And where's your anti-bleeding flask? It's a most basic and most important flask you need to have, i recommend it on life flask.

Overall, you gotta make sacrifices. No weapon swap OR no IIQ gear OR crazy Ventor's instead of Sadima's / Perandus Blazon. Get that QotF as well. Outside of this, rares are your priority. Once you fixed your setup to be capped without resistance from quiver, you can think about +3 staff.

That's my opinion anyway. You're playing softcore so a random death won't stop you. My advice has safety in mind.

If you wanted to MF, you should've gone Raider tbh. Divination distillate is simply too good to pass up, something that Trickster cannot use.

Hey i enjoy the build im running it in HC, quick question regarding staves/bows. Ive got a 5L maraketh and a crappy 5L Staff. Next step would be 6Links.

So Do I ABSOLUTELY have to use the maraketh base and the Imperial staff bases? Is it because of colors needed. Cause i see a 6l Serpentine Staff for 9c kinda tempting u know? Do they have easier time rolling the + chaos gems and + bow? Item lvl matter aside from spell dmg?

Not really having any problems with any content in early mapping some crit bosses hurt a bit.

Am struggling keeping the mana down unless i spam CA for a bit into packs the inbetween mobs area. Only 60% mana regen

30% IIQ Divination + Goldrym
101% IIR Divination + ammy

Fun stuff though didn't really like the other trickster guide floating around thought id rock this.

Yeah, the MF gear were just for starting off the character, I thought it would be fun to try out, seeing as the gear is so cheap, and if I perhaps could transition into higher maps with ease due to increased currency drops. I'll replace them soon and get real rares to spare the need for resists on my quiver, as well as getting some movespeed on my boots. If I'm not content with my movement speed at that point I'll get the QotF as well.

Quite honestly flasks I haven't paid too much attention to on this character because so far I've had no need to, but yeah I don't really know whats best and I'll get your recommendations. Anyway, thanks for the help!

I never said anywhere that you must use those particular bases. Bow bases are covered in crafting section (+3 bow) and Maraketh is obviously the best one. Staff bases don't matter at all, don't pick up those 100% crit ones tho.

It's better to have more mana regen than not enough. You can control consumption through continous shooting. Atm you have too much regen because you're only on a 5-link, but it will get better with 6-link and empower. Good practice is to shoot CA, use utility flasks before the projectiles hits and shoot CA again. You get full benefit from MF flask and get full charges again.

What do you think about Darkray vectors on Trickster? With 8 frenzy charges I would get 45% movement speed and 16% dodge. It would definitely help mobility if I can manage to get resists without quiver on replacing MF belt and sadimas gloves. (Even 50% move and 18% dodge with +1 corrupted ones which are pretty cheap right now)
