Notes
Choice of Gloves:
Out of the box, Vaal Caress are the better choice of gloves for this build because they provide evasion and can be used to activate the 15% spell supression mastery. This is specially true if you land a specific +4 double corruption.
That said, if you can get a pair of Hands of High Templar gloves you may end up with potentially more damage if you manage to the correct combination of skill gem levels (up to +5). In the end, a lot of people will try to get good Vaal Caress so it's
up to the market.
Skill Effect Duration applies to Vaal Soul Gain Prevention:
Normally this combination would be a problem since we don't want to be locked out of our Vaal skills if we run out of souls, but because Vaal Caustic Arrow damage once does not stack with itself then you don't want to spam the skill too much.
In practice, this means that you will only really use Vaal Caustic Arrow to deal with tanky rares and uniques, and ideally you'll only fire the skill once you stockpile 10-20 souls to give you room to recast the skill if needed.
Some key interactions and metrics:
* Caustic Arrow is the only attack vaal gem that scales base damage from gem levels: it does not require accuracy to work and can trivially get up to 9 gem levels from a few items.
* The build uses Vaal Caress as a pseudo 6-link gloves, freeing an entire 6-link to use for a manaforge setup (in this case, to apply on-hit effects).
* The build has up to 85% to max elemental resistances from Everlasting Sacrifice + elemental flasks.
* The build lowers vaal soul cost down to only 2 souls if no vaal skill has been used in the last 8 seconds, making it very easy to use, even on bosses.
* Zoom zoom gameplay with over 200% movespeed while mapping with buffs.
Some considerations to keep in mind:
* Leveling a bow templar is rough and will require mulling Caustic Arrow + pierce support from a ranger
* Templar has very little dexterity near its starting point and will require a jade amulet and dexterity rolls on gear as early as level 4
* There's not that much generic damage near the start of the tree
* There's very little physical damage reduction outside of Lightning Coil
* Vaal Caustic Arrow does not stack damage with itself and should not be spammed, so it ends up playing like the same old TR + Caustic Arrow leaguestart that a lot of people already know
