This build leveled with ease, I leveled with caustic all the way through. using a Replica quillrain. You can use a normal quillrain w/ arrow nova +caustic. Was imo very fun. Pros
Spoiler
+ Clear maps in minutes
+ High Dps + Focused on a mapper and made a all arounder. + EXTREME Aoe + Overall Fun play style + Easy leveling + New take on a skill Cons
Spoiler
- Can be expensive
- Can be frustrating because you cant see the ground - Does sanctum easy, issue is hard to see ground again lol. The main Idea of this build is to "overlap" caustic arrows for maximum shotgun abusing the ring nimis.

Kill all, Skill points are king! Uniques:

None of these are required. yes the build is built around nimis, but you can use arrow nova and farm without it. Headhunter is for fun, you do NOT need one. I use this For when im doing bosses/sanctum. Stat Priority/Flask

More Build Information
Spoiler
This build specialized in massive juiced maps, but can also clear end game bosses with ease. There are stepping stones to each item, I will do my best to explain some here. No nimis - The build is built around it, but you can sub out Greater volley for Arrow Nova to map fast. You're single target wont be the best as we get this from overlapping the returning projectiles. The reason we use Sniper's mark is because with Nimis the split projectiles also return and stack under us. No Devouring Diadem - You spec 3 points into Eldritch batter and run one less aura No Darkscorn - You can also just use a basic +multi and damage overtime bow. IMO Darkscorn will be Bis. No Covenent - This chest gives us damage. I show in one of the videos above that this is just Quality of life. No Headhunter - Thats ok because this build just uses it for fun. See videos above. Who am I?

" LOL Sorry about that guys turns out a couple videos were on private.This has been fixed! enjoy! | |

Great build and works wonders in maps and bosses.

" I was very happy on how this turned out. | |

Missing a leveling tree's passive points for 25-40 1st lab & 45-70?
| |
|
Am I missing something? I'm reading this on my phone so no pob, but why do you use a poison bow? Do you use the actual projectiles from caustic, rather than the Degen? Why caustic then?

Hey build seems fun. Im currently leveling it, up to level 60 now with most of the gear. Im just curious, how are you sustaining mana in single target fights? I get plenty of mana back when there are a lot of corpses around, but during the campaign boss fights Im very mana starved
Edit: Once I got the bow and chest put on at 62 this was no longer a thing. Build completely just levelled up after that. I do have a question though, what pantheon do you recommend? Last edited by Khesahn20 on Jan 3, 2023, 11:24:54 PM
