[3.16] Caustic Arrow/Death's Oath Occultist [Life based Chaos Autobomber]
" Yes, definitely an option to consider. I like Enduring Cry also for the extra heal, which helped me quite a few times. And for Lunaris, that's a great idea once you are chaos res capped. I also switched to Lunaris now. Solaris can also be useful for bosses. " Just a few ex will get you started with the basic gear. ~10-15ex (viridi + clusters + unique jewels) will let you pretty comfortably clear t16. Bosses will be a bit slow, but doable Crafting the bow is ~11ex, it will make bosses much easier And the last pieces to finish up would be Watcher's Eye (Malevolence) and Awakened gems, which will improve the damage even more. " Resists - It's much easier to cap res if you go for double cluster setup and search for jewels with Life+All res+Double res (~50 resists each) The additional clusters will also improve your damage. Watcher's eye keep for last, as its the most expensive piece after the bow, but get the Transcendent mind. After you improve the resists, look for gloves with DoT multi, one good res and empty suffix for Aspect of the Spider (or Crab if you prefer) The quiver now only improves CA damage and not by a huge amount, so I actually prefer as much resists as possible + life. For rings, get Vermillions, shouldn't be expensive. Quality them while they are white and alt roll for t1 life. Then you can craft some res on them. For me each of those is almost 400 life, which is huge. " Problem with Flame Dash is that it shares cooldown with Withering Step. Only Blink Arrow doesn't, so it's always available. You can link with Faster Attacks so it feels a bit better. With Flame dash you might be stuck on c/d exactly when you need it. Test it yourself so you know what I mean. Another option is to remove WS from movement and only use it manually on bosses or hard rares, in which case you can use Flame Dash.

Took the plunge and rerolled into the build, would you mind doing the same for me and giving my build a look and providing me with a upgrade path?

Hi Bro,
just played your build for a couple of days now. Clearspeed and singletarget is nice, but i dont know how u get all the strength in your POB(single cluster setup). atm iam using an inertia, but in your pob you dont use it? Maybe you can look after my profile and get me an short information how to upgrade Thank you in advance | |
" Recommendations are pretty generic, so check above and adapt to the state of your character " In the POB I have a ring with tons of Str. In general there are 3 options to solve the Str requirements: 1. Inertia jewel (I always start with this) 2. Str on gear (Rings or Belt in general) 3. 40% Reduced requirements enchant on the armour (this one would be the most expensive) Caustic Arrow/Death's Oath Occultist - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2990048 Last edited by f4ward on Aug 13, 2021, 10:01:22 AM

@f4ward Hello sir, i love this build so much. But ii have a few questions about that. Can you answer please?
1 - You can look my gears in profile. I can run tier 16 maps easily and kill bosses but i still want to increase my dps. What should i upgrade for first? For now i don't have a good glove, awakened gems, helmet enchant and watcher's eye . Should i buy awakened gems first or a good glove? 2- Some people using Asenath's Gentle Touch Silk Glove. It has explode. Is it working for this build or these people only want temporal chains effect? Last edited by Tuzluk on Aug 14, 2021, 7:21:01 AM

" why would we need open pref for aspect if that suffix? |
|
" Start with just Brush with death as single notable. And when you can, upgrade it to have an additional damage notable or Flow of life. As for bow, I went for the easiest option - the 6 link Imperial bow. Those are common and pretty cheap to get. And the aspd is only slightly lower: 1.45 vs 1.5, so it's a great option. " First recommendation would be to follow the guide. If you make changes to the build - you should know what you're doing. 1. Gloves vs Aw. Gems - check in POB what would you gain vs what it costs. Helm enchant and Watcher's eye are the most expensive upgrades, so keep them for last. 2. You have explode from ascendancy. You don't hit (except for the explosions). You don't scale phys damage. You would loose resists and Aspect (unless you put it elsewhere). You (specifically) already have 2 curses. So I don't see how it can fit. Some people just want "more explody" for reasons, and put those gloves or Herald of Fire, which are both pointless in my opinion. But I always say, if you want to try something - try it. Maybe You will like it. " You're correct, it's a suffix, I need to re-read what I write before I post it :) Edited that post now.
