[3.3] CI Caustic Arrow by Paige | SC/HC | Immortal | Guardians/Shaper | AFK Uber Labs | T17+



Build Highlights:

  • Works on a 5L
  • AFK Uber Labs
  • Easy 8k+ ES
  • 4800+ ES Recharge per second
  • Cheap non meta uniques, gems & gear
  • Mirage Archer does most of the work & attacks off screen
  • Extremely tanky, giving you room for a lot of mistakes in combat
  • Easy T17+ clears
  • ES Recharge delay of 0.68 or less seconds
  • Can run all map mods, except for no regeneration, hexproof is slightly annoying though
  • Tons of room for gear progression, this build will keep you busy for a long time
  • Softcore & Hardcore viable

______________________________________________________________________

PLEASE READ:

This build is centered around AoE clear speed with CA + Mirage Archer, and insane amounts of defensive layering such as, high ES, ES recharge, very low ES recharge delay, ES on kill, high ES regen and being evasion capped. It can clear all content in the game as I've shown already through videos/streaming but no CA build is going to be able to compete with broken meta skills as far as single target damage is concerned. If you want something broken that's overpriced, going to get nerfed and that everybody is playing, this isn't the build for you (in fact, none of my builds are for that audience) as I do not get any enjoyment out of playing builds like those. Thanks.

Very nice build guide. I haven't tried caustic arrow since warbands, I'm loving it now. Spent about 6 ex total for the 3 six-links and impresence, the rest of the gear I got for a song. I'll have to check out your stream some time. Thanks!

So I enjoy leveling as my build and seeing the progress, depending on the build its not near as fast or as smooth as BV. But this build wasnt bad.

Damage and & Clear kick in at 36-40, had a 5L Silverbough that helped till I got to my current bow, then flipped it for 30c :). You are kind of squishy during the 40-65 tabula/before CI stage, but nothing some kiting cant fix.

Now that I am 71, sitting at 6.1K ES without my Uber Lab (typing this while sitting in global 820 and without Watchers eye.

my CA is sitting at 17K with my under leveled gems still, and without the Damage nodes near CI.

As for Blight vs ED. I leveled with ED till 71, but the gloves are not bad... The blight skill/jewel combo play style plays well with CA and Mirage archer, as well as the skill duration. Im sure ED has more top end DPS, but Blight cant be far behind based on how it feels. Plus it has to be mention for a cheap alternative, mine is 1 ES off from perfect and it was 2c...

with the blight setup aswell it freed up my chest for the aura/curse setup, eventually in the future would like to switch out Enlighten for Vaal Discipline if I get enough mana or regen.

Also another not since I dont enjoy weapon swaps, my helm and boot gem setup. I managed to somehow 4 Off color my helm, I decided to put in my CWDT in here. Still needs futher testing as i have not made up my mind about Phase run vs Vortex or auto cast golem vs high level golem.

Boots is standard wither totem but i took out duration for Blink arrow as I am socket starved.

The only thing I feel like I could improve atm in the short term is more strength, i could save 4 points if I could find some Str on my Helm or boots. I could give up a Ventors but I went all in on this character so I need it to farm, and I am greedy, such is a Ventor's life.

Also special thanks to Paige for the well formatted and made guide, and the help with the 6L on my chest <3

So I managed to get this chest:

and I can't even begin to describe how broken the 'Recover #% Energy shield on kill' is...
It's just too good. I'm now comfortably doing T13 maps (didn't get any higher map drops yet).
I'm thinking about changing from the Blight gloves to a 6-link ED setup for more single target DPS, although I have to say that I just love the slow that Blight provides and the fact that I don't have to weapon swap.
Once I go into Shaper guardians I'll try to make some videos and share with you guys. White and yellow Elder is a joke.
As a side note, the only expensive gear was the Impresence amulet (1ex), the bow (88 chaos and 24 chisels, lucky me, I know) and now the 6% ES on kill armour (60 chaos, lucky again I guess).
I usually have alert filters set up on poe.trade for upgrades.

Running red maps easily, single target is great, mirage archer is great, curses are awesome!
Have yet to try guardians and shaper, but I don't think it will be too hard, especially when I upgrade to shaper chest, other gear to have life regen, and the missing gems.

And also Impresense gives so much damage that I recommend it to everyone thinking on what to upgrade next. If you have nice survivability go for Impresence!

Thanks for the nice build :)

On top this build give huge regen and last but not least, you are ranged.

Clear speed is really nice and most bosses just melt.

Best build I've been playing so far!

As a follow up on my experience still playing the build - I too was having problems with stun when I started mapping. Now as level 91 and my curses have leveled (using enfeeble) and a jade flask with 100% extra evasion and a stibnite I am getting hit pretty infrequently. I'm bumped up to 60% chance to evade with the flasks in addition to the additional accuracy drop on enemies with enfeeble. I can pretty comfortably do almost all t15 content including abysses.

No - CA clouds do not stack. In fact I've been regularly running slower projectiles over mirage archer for the extra damage (just more clicking and you use more mana). It will stack with other sources of chaos damage though such as ED.

Overall lots of fun. The build really does shine though as gems level and you can more safely engage at close range.

Oh as a side note even though I haven't seen anyone mention it - I found it extremely useful to have an ignite/burning removal flask. Burning, especially with the frequent mod enemies ignite you on hit was a real bitch for ES recharge. This small addition has helped a lot surprisingly.

Thank you for this build. It is just amazing to play. I couldnt take hand off, to individualize this build a bit to me.

first my gear:
"


i took a Evasion/ES Chest to take advantage from "Escape Artist". Also i went for Heretics Veil, so i can run with 2 Curses, Disciplin AND Grace. (with some Mana reservation nodes in passive tree)
So my defenses are a lot of Evasion (66% on lvl 83 without flasks) and 6k ES.

Also i went for Some Evasion/ES Nodes in Ranger direction.
Here my passives :
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAYCAAMeA-4EBw18DkgQexEvEVARlhNtFAkWvxcvGGobJR0UHU8dqh2-HdkfQSL0JognqSj6KwosvzOHM6M1uTy2PV9DVEZxSVFLrkyDTLNSU1KvVdZXyVgHXEBca13yXypk52f8aoxsC20ZbWxwu3DUdFV0gXWedoJ4L3zlf8aApILHhEiHy4hCj0aP-pMnl5WX9JuhoS-i2aOjpyunm6yYsNi0DLTRtUi3MLtNvjq-isEAwcXDbcgMyBTK088V2VvaO9sa3V_hiOd06QLquutj6-TsGPDV9HH1S_Vv98H31_mk-tL-SQ==?accountName=shaleya&characterName=MisterElementar

I can easily run Guardian Maps although my gems are still lvl 19 and i have to run my +2 bow, cause my +3 is still not 6linked. (no luck this league. got not a single 6 link on my own and i use every fuse on my own). The regain of ES (6% from chest and 2% from Escape artist) is awesome.
Its also fun to run Lab. Just ignore traps and Izaro is no Problem either.

Next Target is to 6 link my Chest with a additional defensive setup, cause i do not use Essence drain that often. maybe i go for an additional bow in second slot. lets see.

But!!!!! I just thank you for many fun hours to play this build.

Loving the build so far, im playing in HC so I went Escape Artist. And felt like I should share my thoughts on equipping.

If you go Escape Artist you should equip Hyrri's Ire, provides almost 500 ES with best rolls and its dirt cheap. Also you get 10% dodge as well as 10% spell dodge. With Atziri's Splendour you could get about 700 ES, so pretty much the highest ES chest in the game.

This is a wonderful build! Amazing league starter and you're right, there is just so much that you can upgrade to keep pushing this build to the max. I'm also using Allelopathy gloves with Blight for single target. I much prefer it's AOE when I'm clearing breaches/harbingers, and the damage is amazing with the jewels.

One thing I have to comment on is the levelling section of this guide. DO NOT try and a level with blade vortex. You need a good amount of leech/mana regen in order to sustain with it and it just feels bad without it.

100% just level this build as ED Contagion. Just follow the same tree, only taking life nodes as you go and picking up all the damage nodes early. It feels amazing, it's easy and all you need is a couple +1 chaos gems wands that you can craft at lvl 3.

Contagion is enough to clear by itself until Blood Aqueducts but ideally you use essence drain to speed things up a bit.

For a great video, follow RaizQTs video on ED/Contagion leveling until Kitava

Introduction/Build Mechanics
The main idea going into this build was to create something very tanky, with good DPS and fast clear speed. And at the same time, something with a very high item progression ceiling, meaning you can put 100s of hours play time into this build and still manage to find upgrades. As with all of my builds, I strive to use non meta uniques & skills, which means gearing out for this build will be a lot more efficient & cheaper compared to following a few of the meta builds everybody is playing.

A huge chunk of our defenses come from the fact we pick up Zealot's Oath which allows Life regeneration to apply to our Energy Shield regeneration, coupled with the fact we take Patient Reaper from the Trickster ascendancy tree, this further enables us to reach an absurd amount of ES regeneration fairly easily, we also take advantage of Consecrated Ground just to top it all off.

Now let's talk damage & clear speed. The main reason we are able to reach such quick clear speeds is due to a new skill that was released with patch 3.1, Mirage Archer. Essentially what this support gem does is summons a "ghost" of sorts, that hangs out directly above your characters head and shoots whatever attack skill you have linked to it numerous times. This basically means we hit Caustic Arrow once, spawn our Mirage Archer, and proceed to run around while it does all the work for us. Keep in mind that we have to directly hit a mob with our Caustic Arrow projectile in order for it to proc Mirage Archer.

You may be thinking to yourself, "I've played Caustic Arrow before, what makes it so much better now that patch 3.1 released?". Well, besides Mirage Archer, there is a new unique amulet which is very powerful as well, Impresence all very useful stats, but then you add to the fact that this amulet gives us a "free" curse + Blasphemy combo? Speaking of curses, there's a new curse that buffs this build even more, and that is Despair.

Now, with all of that being said, hopefully I've piqued your interest, so let's get into the build.


Items

Note: The only required item is Soul Strike. However a Impresence will provide you with a large DPS boost.

My Gear

"

______________________________________________________________________

Bow(s)


The best in slot weapon for us will be a +3 gem bow. You can do fine with a +2 gem bow, or even a +1 gem bow, just keep in mind that Caustic Arrow damage scales very significantly as it levels, meaning your main goal in terms of increasing your damage output will be finding a decent +3 bow ASAP.

Other stats on the bow are beneficial as well, Increased Damage Over Time, any resistances you may need & Attack Speed are all nice rolls to have on your bow.

The end goal for this build would be a +3 bow crafted with a Essence of Delirium for the Decay on hit mod.

If you are funded you can weapon swap to a separate "+1 to Gems" bow for ED, this will roughly be a 20-25% single target DPS increase. Keep in mind ED is not specifically a bow attack, so a "+1 or +2 to Bow gems" roll will do nothing for ED.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Quiver



This quiver is extremely powerful for our build, and is required. It is as cheap as 1 alch currently on Abyss league. You do not need to have a corrupt "Adds an Additional Arrow" in order for this build to work, however it will increase AoE & clear speed.

If you're weapon swapping ED for single target boss fights, you will need another one of these quivers as well. Additional arrow is not required for the ED weapon swap setup.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Body Armor


This is going to be a very important slot for us because of some new mods that released in 3.1 (Shaped/Elder mods).

What you're going to be looking for here is just as high ES as you can possibly find & then whatever resists you may need to fill.

If you have a lot of currency, finding a shaped body armor with Recover #% of Energy Shield on Kill & #% of Energy Shield regenerated per second along with high ES & any resists you may require, will be best in slot for us.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Helmet


As far as our helmet goes, it's fairly straight forward, you'll be looking to fill in any missing resists you may have, and looking for as high ES as you can possibly find.

Other beneficial stats would be Life Regeneration, Accuracy & Increased Rarity.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Rings


Rings can be a little more complicated. You'll want to be looking for a high energy shield roll, resists & Dexterity and/or Strength roll. This build early on can be very Dex & Str hungry, you can always sacrifice some passive points to pick up a few +30 attribute nodes, but ideally you'll want to solve most of your attribute problems via high rolls on your rings or other gear.

Ideally you'll want to find a ring with the rolls mentioned above, and then also have an open Prefix slot so you can master craft #% Faster Start of Energy Shield Recharge.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Amulet


Impresence is the best in slot amulet for this build. Besides the obvious stats that are amazing, a "free" Despair + Blasphemy combo is ridiculously powerful and really helps take our damage to the next level.

PoE Trade Link


If you can't afford the above mentioned amulet, you should be looking for a rare amulet, preferably an Onyx/Jade/Amber Amulet with high Energy Shield, high #% Increased Maximum Energy Shield and any missing Resistances and/or attributes, this will ultimately depend on what you need.

PoE Trade Link
______________________________________________________________________

Gloves


Here you'll be looking for high Energy Shield, Resistances, and any missing attributes you may require. Attack Speed is also a nice bonus roll to get on your pair of gloves if at all possible.

PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Belt


Here you can get away with a Crystal Belt for more ES, however a Stygian Vise is going to be best in slot. You're looking for a high Energy Shield roll & Resistances.

Eventually you'll be looking for either Increased Flask Charges Gained, Reduced Flask Charges Used or Increased Flask Effect Duration roll on your belt.


PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Boots


For boots, we'll be looking for any base, 25-35% Movement Speed, high Energy Shield, Resistances & missing Attributes, anything else is a bonus.

PoE Trade Link
______________________________________________________________________

Flasks



Witchfire Brew is very strong, just like the Impresence amulet, it too gives you a "free" Despair curse aura, however we mostly use this for the Increased Damage over Time it gives us, and also the very nice Creates Smoke Cloud on Use effect.

PoE Trade Link



A Dying Sun flask will increase clear speed significantly but it's not required. Your Mirage Archer also benefits from this flask.

PoE Trade Link



You can use a Basalt Flask for extra Physical Damage mitigation.

PoE Trade Link



A Sulphur Flask is highly recommended, not only for the 40% Increased Damage effect it gives us, it also creates a patch of Consecrated Ground upon use, greatly increasing our Energy Shield regeneration.

PoE Trade Link



I also run a Jade Flask for more physical damage mitigation. Evasion is a nice stat to roll with as an ES build, since ES stops recharging when you get hit, so the more you are able to evade, the more often your ES will be recharging.

PoE Trade Link



As for the last flask, it's really up to you. I recommend a Quicksilver flask to help zoom around maps a bit quicker. You will need a "of Heat" mod on whatever you choose for your last flask.

Gems and Links
In most cases 20 quality gems will always slightly increase something, as will level 21 gems. You should slowly start working towards getting your main 6L gems 20Q/21L whenever possible.

There are two versions, "Budget Links" meaning you don't have a second +1 gem bow to swap to & dedicate to ED. And "Normal Links" which means you have a second +1 gem bow to swap to & dedicate to ED.

Gems are listed in order of importance, so if you're running with a 5L, you will be dropping Empower.

Jewels

______________________________________________________________________


This build will require a Careful Planning jewel placed right beside the Alchemist node at Witch start in order for us to achieve a fairly high Dexterity requirement.
______________________________________________________________________


Watcher's Eye with these exact Discipline rolls will be better than any other jewel available, however currently these can run you anywhere from 10-20 Exalts.


______________________________________________________________________

Abyss Jewels


This is the type of abyss jewel you'll want to be socketing into your belt. Obviously you'll want Damage over Time & high Energy Shield, the last two rolls are up to you (view a list of all possible rolls HERE). I'm a big fan of getting free Onslaught, and the fourth roll was something I had to take just because that's all that exists on this league currently, but dodge chance is always welcome.

PoE Trade Link

______________________________________________________________________

Regular Jewels


Ideally for your regular jewels you'll want to have % Increased Maximum ES, Damage Over Time, and Projectile Damage (Projectile Damage increases Caustic Arrows cloud AoE damage). The last roll is up to you (view a list of all possible rolls HERE).

Ascendancy
1: Ghost Dance

2: Escape Artist

4: Prolonged Pain

You can drop Escape Artist & take Swift Killer if you feel safe enough & want more damage.


Enchantments
______________________________________________________________________

Helmet Enchantments
______________________________________________________________________

Defensive Option (My Current Choice): 20-30% Increased Enfeeble Curse Effect.

More Map Clearing Damage: 25-40% Increased Caustic Arrow Damage.

Potentially Faster Map Clearing: 8-12% increased Caustic Arrow Area of Effect.

More Single Target Damage: 25-40% Increased Essence Drain Damage.

A Mediocre Enchant: 20-30% Increased Essence Drain Duration.

The Worst Enchant: 20-30% increased Caustic Arrow Duration.

______________________________________________________________________

Boot Enchantments
______________________________________________________________________

Defensive Option (My Current Choice): Regenerate 1-2% of Life and Mana per second if you were Hit Recently.

A Second Option: 8-16% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you've Killed Recently.

______________________________________________________________________

Glove Enchantments
______________________________________________________________________

Glove enchants are extremely minor overall, all other stats should be prioritized before a glove enchant.

The Best Option: Commandment of Light. "Deals a portion of your main hand damage in an area around you and creates Consecrated Ground, causing you and your allies to Regenerate Life."


Pantheon

  • Soul of Tukohama


Additional Information
For general map clearing, I run Pierce on my 6L Essence Drain instead of Void Manipulation. Once I enter a boss room, I switch back to Void Manipulation. The main idea of this is so I'm able to ED some of the annoying Abyss bosses that spawn if you're doing the Abyss breaches. Then vs regular map bosses where it's generally just you and the boss, you can run Void Manipulation for more single target DPS.

Recently I've been playing with weapon swapping to a +1 bow linking ED with it, which ended up giving me roughly 25% increased single target damage on ED, the basic idea while bossing with this setup is keeping the boss under your Caustic Arrow cloud, keeping your Spell Totem + Wither up at all times, and then maintaining ED. If you have time in between, try and avoid incoming damage and keeping Caustic Arrow up on adds & add spawn points.

Looks really cool. I'm currently looking for my 2nd char this league (i'm more of a casual player) and particular for some CI because it is off meta and you can get quiet good stuff for low currency.

Let us know, when you do red maps and if you are cable to do uber ;-)


For the ES chest which mod would be more important ES on Kill or ES regen?
Great Build! What about picking up OCC instead of TRI?
In my opinion, OCC performs good on offense, and TRI is good at defense.

Thanks, will get into harder mapping tomorrow. You're right, CI is very cheap to gear which is amazing for people like us lol.

As far as the shaped body armor mod is concerned, I think ES regen is the best mod overall, ES on Kill is nice, but its main purpose is to help you survive vs insanely spiky damage like porcupines, reflect/thorns and things like that.

I assume you are talking about Occultist vs Trickster?

I think an Occultist version could work, but it wouldn't be as tanky, like you said, Occultist is probably gonna do slightly more damage overall, but it won't be anywhere as tanky.

With that being said, pretty much any build that runs with a 6L is going to be capable of doing enough damage for most content in the game, where a lot of builds lack is defense, and for that reason I decided to go with a Trickster.

Got it. Thanks for your quick reply :)
Hi, very interesting build. How is the single target dmg? viable for guardians/shaper?
Just curious, what's the black aura around you in the video? Thanks for the build. I like how easy it is to use with all the links the poe.trade.
