Shadow - [2.4 Trickster] Grocery's Caustic Arrow Trickster Shadow! HC Viable! - Forum

Looks pretty solid. I'm planning on doing a Duelist version of this in the Perandus challenge league. (permanent fortify :D)	Posted by Zophronios on Feb 27, 2016, 7:31:04 AM Quote this Post

Do you guys have thoughts on how to level this until you can fully function as CA?	Posted by Rhanoss on Feb 28, 2016, 5:19:08 AM Quote this Post
I realized with the Rigwald's quill unique quiver, it is pretty good for CA build, it gives really good AOE with projectile fork. made my mapping way faster than i used to be.. i regretted 3 points out from the tree from Pierce and invested into somewhere else, with the projectile dmg it provide, it actually gives slightly better DOT compare with drillneck.

Yea Rigwald's is insane but it looks like it will be near impossible to get in the new leagues.

I will update this guide in 2.2, assuming Shadow remains reasonably close to Scion/Ranger. My 2.2 Scion (more dps minded, 100% pierce, extra arrow, 210%+ life) build is here My 2.2 Duelist (more defensive minded, 100% pierce, perma fortify, 210%+ life) build is here For my current builds, thoughts and videos. youtube.com/andypistone www.twitch.tv/GrocerySC Last edited by Grocery on Mar 1, 2016, 7:12:19 PM	Posted by Grocery on Feb 29, 2016, 12:19:31 AM Quote this Post
So I found that Trickster should be quite decent in 2.2 for Caustic. As such, I posted a tree in the main post to an exile tools tree and my preliminary thoughts. Looks like Ranger, Duelist, Scion and Shadow can all do CA very well still!

Looks like Ranger, Duelist, Scion and Shadow can all do CA very well still! I agree with you! Think trickster will do it for me as i play hardcore and having that extra regen, evasion, mov speed and such will make me feel safer. Deadeye would just be adding to my damage but nothing towards my survivability. Anyways, my only worry is how I'm going to level this until i can safely play CA. Unfortunately I'm still kinda clueless about that... :( Could you maybe share your thoughts on leveling, which nodes to go first as leveling up, and which build to use until fully switching to CA ? thanks! :) Last edited by Rhanoss on Mar 2, 2016, 4:10:29 PM	Posted by Rhanoss on Mar 2, 2016, 4:06:58 PM Quote this Post

They did buff bows so really any standard bow skill should do. I will likely level as Shrapnel/Tornado Shot or CA. Leveling trees will be added once we get the passive tree posted on the real poe site!

Okay that sounds good, thanks for your quick answer btw! :) About bow/totem leveling. The conflict I have is that we'll mostly pick up increased chaos damage & damage over time nodes and only very few projectile damage nodes, so i'm just worried i'll fall behind with poorly optimized nodes for leveling.
