I was thinking he put posoin on HoP because it was needed to proc withered touch, but doesn't look like it. I'll likely just go HoP with withered touch for better withered application in single target. I don't agree with BV. How does poison favor attack speed?

Poison typically does very little hit damage though.

Ok, so he has 4% mana unreserved. Always an issue with poison builds is how to sustain mana because leeching isn't that effective. How does this guy handle it?

He's closer, but still not there. Empower on HoAg is cheaper, not sure if worth it, but his link on the HoP is still wrong. He has Wither instead of Withering Touch.

Have fun spending upwards of days farming an Oni.

I don't think that guy worked out his mana reservations correctly. HoAg with 4 supports and HoP with 2 supports is well over 100% mana reserved. Clearing with a melee skill using 14s poisons is going to suck. I hate poison duration and I'm already dreading that my trickster's duration is over 3s.

Probably Trickster CA. Might take a look at the VS build.

I'm wondering if Trickster might be better than Pathfinder for caustic arrow. DPS is roughly the same but pathfinder doesn't have much for sustain. Anyone else been mulling a CA build? Still consider Ele Hit but idk. Skill seems kinda meh.

Are you going to drop ash for purity? Or are you going to try to fit ash, purity, and hatred? The more melee won't apply to all of the skill.

I didn't think the flat phys would be worth that much.

A bunch? How's that?

Anyone know if the Spreading Rot threshold jewel will work with the Hinder applied by Vaal Blight or Wither?

He covers this around 1:55. It's ground targeted and pierce will work.

Wouldn't it have made them more money had they released it months ago? I don't think chain will work with caustic arrow since it's ground targeted.

I'd rather it say "gaze into the abyss". I might play boring scorching ray for that. Shaper lightning warp in...3 days.

Took them long enough. I wonder if this was a directive from Tencent because there's no way GGG didn't know how much money this would make them.

It does seem that way, that makes it interesting! Zerphis is great survivability for life Indigon builds. You likely don't need it for grinding to 100 but I would say it's required for deepest delving. I meant just the flask, btw.

Uncapped lightning resistance? Wack. I'm not certain that's a fair comparison. I'm betting your character was geared for mapping. You'd likely have higher life and mana if you were taking a trickster delving. Another thing to consider in the overall Indigon discussion: Zerphi's is going to...

Pretty sure agony crawler is going be broken. Forum - Announcements - Delve Gem Information - Path of Exile Those stats, especially the phys damage add PER virulence stack is fucking nuts Level 20 caustic arrow does 64.4% at level 20, which is less than the video showed. Hmmm, might rethink...

My bad, sorry. How much mana regen does 2% max account for on a trickster? Do triggered skills count towards that? How do tricksters do defensively? Hierophant versions can get 10k es.

That would make them torpedoes though, not bombs. Or would they be missiles? Rockets?

How about parts of the fight where you haven't killed recently? DPS might be at levels where you're able to eliminate those rough spots in current content. But as HP rises, they will eventually show up. My point was simply in absolutely highest tier of delving(which I'm sure I won't do), it...

I want to say trickster is a bad choice for indigon delving. At some point, monster HP will get high enough that the regen proc will become inconsistent. Essentially, the same reason people using trickster for mapping but not bossing. Wouldn't Heirophant be a better choice?

Should be. Not looking forward to Indigon prices this league.

Forgot to ask what an Elder bow contributes to elemental hit. Anyone know the default radius on elemental hit's explosions? If ele hit is still going to do stupid damage, might as well play that instead of caustic arrow.

Why Champion instead of Deadeye?

So, then there should be no problem with botting that game.

Yeah, think I'm going Caustic Arrow Pathfinder. I've wanted to try a poison build for a while but they always killed slower than I'd like. Hoping this is different. Skill just looks fun too, it's like Vaal Burning Arrow essentially. Just want to do about sustain... Oh, and all my herald...

lulz, shimmeron prices already up 6x in standard.

Static Strike rework is hard to parse. Has potential? A skill that does more damage while moving but requires you to stand still to use it. Nothing about Caustic Arrow's projectile and area damage in the notes. Does that mean it does 100% damage at all levels? Being able to trigger orb of...

So, everyone go buy Shimmerons! Pretty much a dead item. Repeatedly weapon-swapping is now limited to once every 250ms. They killed the helicopter build!!! :(

Time to move out of Portland, bro.

Are you acting like you want to spend more time with the game instead of her? This is regardless of whether you're properly controlling your gaming time or not. Are you happier when you're gaming than with her? Do you spend more time thinking about WoW instead of her? These can manifest in...

So if the ground degen is a bonus(I think I agree with this, btw. I just spent an hour trying to scale the cloud and came up with meh numbers.), what's the primary attraction of the skill itself? Pierce + ground targeting for consistent coverage through packs? Ground target + AE + close range...

Some of those gameplay videos...oof. Maybe this isn't the skill for me. The more I think about caustic arrow, the skill seems at odds with itself. It has a portion of damage that scales off weapon damage and portion that scales off levels. Assuming you're going poison, is the best idea just...

Sure, but what's the point of reverse knockback on cyclone? They're already in cyclone range.

Does Empire's Grasp count as a hit? Otherwise, how are you proccing the reverse knockback? Nevermind, forgot Debeon's Dirge provides knockback for warcries.

Caustic arrow looks enticing as a starter but I've never used the skill. Am I right in that there is no way to scale the dot portion of the skill with crit? If so, it seems like crit caustic arrow would just be a poor man's version of other bow skills. Like just scaling the explosions would be...

Is it the arc that's shit in that scenario or the self cast? Maybe arc didn't need nerfing either way. It's really hard to judge the OPness of a spell when pretty much all spells funneled through other triggering mechanisms.

Nerf traps, mines(huh?), sunder, kb, shield charge, but not arc? :eek: Might change my league starter from FB deadeye to CA Pathfinder and a Coming Calamity socketed with the two new heralds. I understand all of the major nerfs except shield charge. That...feels misguided. Especially since...
