PoE Ranger Caustic Arrow Raider Build All Content

This build features over 6000 life, very high evasion with up to 95% evade chance cap, 46/40% dodge/spell dodge. It's also immune to all ailments and can run absolutely any map mod. Any incoming damage can be easily solved with two instant life flasks healing you back to full life. Capable of clearing all content in the game.

Equipment

+3 Caustic Arrow Bow

Caustic Arrow's cloud has very limited options when it comes to increasing it's damage output. Additional levels and crafted mods are the only way to make your bow actually benefit the build in the first place. CA setup socketed inside +3 bow easily increases the damage output by ~50-60% more compared to a normal 6-link. 

To make it clear, on the bow we NEED:

• +1 to Level of Socketed Gems (prefix)

• +2 to Level of Socketed Bow Gems (prefix)

• +33-40% Non-ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier (prefix, crafted)

You can also use super budget version with only +2 to Level of Socketed Bow Gems, 
it's enough to actually beat almost any encounter in the game. However the more damage, the easier it gets. Crafting +3 bow is not that expensive and massively boosts the damage.

Quiver

A rare pierce quiver with life and resistances. Later on you'll want to craft or buy shaper quiver. Something like the first one i linked, the more life and resists the better.

Shaper quivers can roll +1 arrow. It's a quite rare mod, so getting one with high health is going to be damn hard. Crafted 41-55 life is going to suffice for majority of the game. Shooting 2 arrows feels a bit weird at first, but it's a huge QoL and effective AoE increase.

Shaper quivers are fully covered in crafting section.

Helmet, Gloves and Boots

Packed into same category, as you want same thing from all of them:

• Life

• Resistances

• Open Suffix (optional)

• Movement Speed (boots only)

Enchantments

Gloves: of Spite

Nothing else is useful, really. You can totally ignore the gloves enchantments.

Boots: 8% chance to Spell Dodge if you've taken Spell Damage Recently.

Best late game enchantment. The build is nearly invincible against attacks, but spells still hit quite often. 80% chance to avoid stuns is also a great alternative.

Helmet

• #1 - 30% increased Caustic Arrow Duration 

• #2 - 40% increased Caustic Arrow Damage

Belt

VERY good mods:

• 8–10% increased maximum Life (prefix)

• 16–20% increased Life Recovery rate (suffix)

• 13–15% to all Elemental Resistances (suffix)

Rings and Amulet

Like majority of other gear and little more

• Life

• Resistances

• Strength and Intelligence

• #% Mana Regeneration

• +(4-5)% chance to Evade Attacks (elder mod)

Flask

Flask setup is flexible, you can adjust it if you like. However anti-bleeding life flask and two utility flasks mentioned above are MUST have.

Jewels

There's not much to discuss, you want any 3 out of these 6 mods on your jewels:

• 5-7% increased maximum life

• 3–4% to Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier

• 9–13% increased Chaos Damage

• 10–12% increased Damage over Time

• 10–12% increased Projectile Damage

• 10–12% increased Area Damage
