Hey! I'm interested in trying this build since it looks so awesome, but I had a question:

What's the ED link on the chest for? Do we use it as well as Caustic Arrow?

I regret choosing this build.

Stuck on level 71, no survivability, no way to farm money, can't equip some gem-links due to lack of strength (level 1 Immortal Call requires 79, this build gives 0). Really horrible theorycrafted build from my experience. I need to farm a lot of regret orbs and re-work this mess or just delete the character. Or is there something I missed with the strength part? None of the items listed under "current equipment" give strength either (except for the +1X from the amulet, which clearly is not enough to compensate for the missing 60(ish) strength).

I had a lil bit of issues at lv 70ish too, when starting to map. Try to cap your resists, and buy the porcupines cards to craft a decent bow. Then you should think about buying a chest with the elder mod recover %life on kill, it helps alot to survive imo.

If it still don't fits you feel free to theorycraft your own build maybe ?

I loved the idea of this build, but I found that I was way too close to death on hardcore abyss a few too many times. I went through and made some edits to the build. Please note that this is purely theoretical and I have not tested it. I would love to get input on this to see if it is more viable.
