I really don't understand the use of frenzy charges, is there some passive, gear or other skill I'm missing?
The frenzy skill gem increases the following; neither which have any affect on the poison cloud.
5% increased Physical Damage per Frenzy Charge

So whats the new gem setup for caustic? No void and rapid?

Where is that 4% from?

How much of a difference is AoE going to make, vs Rapid Decay? I already spent a shitload of chromes (went for wrong colouring, idiot!).

If it's substantial, I'll obviously fix it.

There's no reason. What you should do is level it to 20, 20% it, level it again, sell it for profit.

Incorrect. It's "more damage" per charge, no limitation to attack damage. And the values are 4%.

Void Manipulation, but no Rapid Decay. Can't afford to drop AoE. Unless you're willing to sacrifice something else on the tree, roll Scion, and spend four points to grab 15% AoE. Then you can get away with it.

Also I've heard tell a +1 Drillneck solves this issue, but I'm trying to keep the guide less expensive.

Check your character sheet, under "charges."

It's huge, in terms of raw pack clear speed. The sacrifice is that your boss damage is less, but that's what Vaal Lit Trap and Wither Totem are for.

Without a +1 arrow Drillneck (or until Ascendency, when we can pick up +1 arrow from the Deadeye class), AoE is a requirement. Even with Carcass Jack equipped I wouldn't recommend dropping AoE UNLESS (as above), you sacrifice something off the tree, roll Scion, and invest four points in 15% AoE.

Resistances.

Finished build is up on the OP. The level 95 tree you see in the guide is the one my Standard character is using.

The gear page is missing some changes I made to jewels, but that's it.

Regarding the multi-modding; I think you missed where I said my res are all capped. In this situation, any recommendatoins?

Guess I'll have to try it. To avoid re-chroming in the short term (chrom calc is saying ~350 avg attempts for RGGBBB!!?) how much of a damage difference is it to just drop Conc and add AOE?

I can never get the PA/CA calculators to work otherwise I'd figure it out myself ~_~

Ah yeah, sorry, I did miss that.

Attack and proj speed are about it. You can't get MGoK/LGoK mastercrafted on bows, which is about all else that'd be useful.

Honestly I'd still go with resistances to help with ele weakness maps, unless you're also that overcapped. Then go with ias, ips.
