I loaded your character into PoB and here's what I noticed:

- You don't run Vaal Grace. Its a very nice survivability buff (even though not permanent)
- You have ~7k evasion. My PoB sits at 45k. This is IMO where the big difference is. You have 69% to avoid melee and projectiles and 30% spell avoidance. Vaal grace brings that to 86/64%. On my build I had 93% and about the same for spells (can't remember).
- Your life is at 4.3k, mine was just under 7k with Koam's. Here levels play a big part (74 vs 95). You don't have any jewels which are a big part of the life pool.

Overall your gear is quite good but you picked the wrong bases (armour+energy shield for easier colouring?). Perhaps that's on me? I think I said to pick str/int gear but that was meant to be for leveling. Not the end game stuff.

Wither totems are anoying to cast indeed. I don't have any solutions, but they help with the damage a ton... As for their survivability, gem levels help and placement.

Good luck.

I use path of building for dps per pod. Its really hard to get the exact number even in pob. Tooltip is useless.

Are you using DoT DPS under Total Dps for Toxic rain and then multiplying by 5 to get the total DPS?

Also kind of at a stand still what to focus on, more jewels/better bow with chaos or plus sockets. Also is there any other chest pieces you would recommend for more of a life based build if I wanted to go that way? would something like a Cherrubims, or perfect form fit do you think, also maybe worth it to drop the freedom of movement node and maybe pick up more life?

Either way thanks for answering my questions, loving the build.

So I got like you said Yalpe 6L - (Imperial Legacy), HUGE improvement...

I did my first ever Synthesis boss (found map in Zana's mission) - he was TOO EZ...

He dropped this item: (dunno the price, gonna lower it until it hits 15 EX then I'll let it stay for next month probably)

---

But when I first encountered him (2 days ago I believe) - I had 0 dmg even on yellow map (I probably had 4L back then)

So you really need to get that 5L / 6L ASAP.

Now I'll just wait for currency and for the crafting mods (I have the weaker version of Chaos Damage Over Time Multiplier) - then I'll just craft the endgame bow :)

----

Thank you for your build, tbh I thought this build will suck (especially when I was dealing 0 dmg against those blight unique bosses), but you need just certain items to make it good.
And I can't wait till I'll get Empower lvl 4 :>

Ty once again, hope they'll buff Toxic Rain next league! :D

First upgrade should always be 6 link white bow over anything. Even white its going to be better, even more so if you craft multi on top before you make the endgame version.
