Tyty Tips & Tricks

  • This build uses Caustic Arrow from levels 2-12 & Poisonous Concoction until you get Vixen's Entrapment.
  • Using Poisonous Concoction requires you to not use a weapon - make sure to pick up shields early on to use when you swap.
  • You will not have enough Strength to equip War Banner until Primal Spirit
  • Equip a Sapphire Ring for Merveil
  • Always upgade your Life Flask while leveling - Poisonous Concoction gains damage based on your flask recovery. For this reason, always use two Life Flasks.
  • Equip a Ruby Ring for the Vaal Ruins in Act 2
  • Equip Two-Stone Rings after level 20, and get your Fire, Cold, and Lightning Resistances as close to 75+ as possible.
  • Using the Aura Grace is an amazing defensive layer, and can be taken earlier if you are struggling with survivability.
  • Take Nature's Reprisal in Normal Labyrinth to gain Wither on hit. This debuff decreases a monster's movement speed, but more importantly it increases the Chaos damage that they take.
  • Take Master Toxicist in Cruel Labyrinth to gain one of the most broken poison nodes in the entire game. This causes your poisons to have a 20% chance to deal double damage - on top of giving poison proliferation on a monster's death.
  • Take Nature's Adrenaline in Merciless Labyrinth to gain 3 flask charges every 3 seconds. This increases your flask sustain substantially, and is a very welcome addition to the build.

  • Caustic Arrow for clear until level 12
  • Burning Arrow for Brutus and Rares only
  • Sniper's Mark should be used on Rare or Boss monsters you come across for a nice DPS boost in Act 1
  • Poisonous Concoction becomes one of the best skills for leveling once you hit level 12
  • Pick up shields in Act 1 - Even while using bows. You will have to remove your weapon in order to use Poisonous Concoction. Shields do not count as a weapon, so make sure to use one.
