Just did a full reset SSF run Act1-Act10.
It took about 4 hours and 50 minutes including two breaks.

I died 3 times sadly.

The VoD is being processed atm, and I will upload it to the video section.

I noticed that I forgot to spec 7 points after I did merc lab, I dunno what happended, lol.

Is caustic arrow important to level? Or is it just a bit faster trough the acts?

No it isnt :) But I'd suggest you lvl 1 in your offset, so you can try it out later and see if you like it or not.

Builds works either way and TR is much stronger at single target than CA.

You get caustic arrow basically at the first town visit and toxic rain later, so you have to level with something until you can even pick up toxic rain. Afterwards you should probably use both especially if you're running on a 4-link or less.

Toxic rain has a delay in landing so CA is useful in 1-shotting white trash while on more durable mobs you can put CA down to tick then start throwing TR pods at them.

Since both skills scale with chaos damage you'll be picking from the tree it has very good synergy while levelling. And early on I don't think this build is socket starved either.

I'm done with my leaguestart practise and I gotta say.
If you count on farming the legacy cards yourself on SSF or whatever, do NOT complete any T3 in lex proxima or anything that will split the pool from Dunes. It becomes way to hard to sustain. I couldnt sustain T7 either sadly and I'm throwing in the towel.

20h played, 400 fusings and still a 4link bow, lol.

Thanks! Take what you will from the guide :)

Hello, thank you for the build, i will probably use it as a starter in delirium. I would like to know why you say this: "but if you don't have level 5 awakened Curse on Hit just use Despair". Can i not use a normal CoH? And do you know why some people are using this setup: Despair + Curse on hit + Frenzy. Thank you again.

There's tons of ways to apply despair.
1. Witchfire brew
2. Curse on hit despair ring
3. Curse on hit storm brand/other spell setup
4. Maloneys quiver that attacks with linked bow attack, which is linked to curse on hit and despair. Ppl use frenzy because it grants frenzy charges too.
5. Selfcurse
6. Cast when damage taken + curse
7. Trigger socketed spell when you use a, skill
8. Despar linked with blasphemy support

Take your pick :) I used the storm brand with awakened coh because I realy liked being able to curse hexproof enemies, but it is likewise strong to save the sockets and get a curse ring, so you can use 2 6-linked main abilities

Awakened curse on hit afaik allows you to apply 2 curses with 1 skill and gives you +1 curse limit at max gem level so you don't need whispers of doom. Due to that, it's expensive, and if you don't have it, then you only use 1 curse.
