Played this in Mayhem. I'm not great mechanically so I'm just going to give my thoughts based on gameplay instead.

Bossing is great if you can set up correctly, i.e Blast Rain, Despair, Plague Bearer, fully charge. I think the damage went up with Coralito since I'm still in scuffed gear = no poison duration.

Clearing is great, albeit kinda squishy. Curse on hit ring really helps with clear when Coralito put a dent on your hit damage so get one early on if you can, it's quite easy.

+1 arrow kinda helps with bossing according to the guide, and it does feel better to shooty tooty 2 arrows so I replace my Drilneck too.

Here's the gear at lvl 87, quite easy to get imho. I'd say 50-70c for the whole thing:

If I have to ask for one thing, it'd be step-by-step item progression. Like how do I go from here.

From your current progress, you can choose to either upgrade to Elder poison bow (higher single-target dps ceiling yet more expensive) stick with V-Rift (easier to gear up, but less single-target dps ceiling), both of them are end-game viable. Given the short span of Mayhem, perhaps it is more reasonable to go the V-Rift route.

Upgrade (for V-Rift):
+ Inpulsa explode chest: Inpulsa offers great clear boost by explosion, while being reasonably cheap. The downside is that in the long run, you will not have the luxury of the -mana cost chest that makes your SA cost literally zero mana.
+ Atziri's promise flask: grant +15% extra lightning as chaos -> total 75% lightning to chaos conversion. Boosted with flask cluster.

Some other Universal upgrades:
+ Awake added chaos: a rather cheap upgrade that provides a powerful DPS boost.
+ The 4th ascendancy notable: if you are in trade league, rush this.
+ Vinktar flask (with flat lightning damage to attack): esp good for V-Rift.
+ Onslaught Flask: Silver Flask (with +% attack speed mod) or Cinderswallow (expensive).
+ Cluster jewels: medium cluster (flask cluster or DPS cluster) + enduring composure cluster.
+ Overflowing chalice flask: cheap and powerful in bossfight.
--
Coralito is good esp. before you can have long poison duration without it. Boosted by flask cluster as well.

I loved your build. My favorite! The defensive part is incredible. I already had a PF SA but now I'm moving to this build. Can you help me? I know that is possible to improve with what I have here.

We sure can help you with that. Could you see if you want to do as this PoB: https://pastebin.com/f8q2dFhK

We have a version with 2 large clusters, but most people prefer the balance one-cluster version. What is your budget?

https://pastebin.com/r9dRtsGu this is my char, I belive we can make it better. I dont how to improve. Maybe Malevolence over the two auras, but that will decline my defences. For now I spend all my ex in this gear, have only 15 ex. Maybe malevolence and watcher eye ?

Perhaps with 15ex, you would want to focus on:
+ Crafting/getting a good boost with Tailwind.
+ Invest the rest of the budget on stacking high-quality Viridian jewels (+% life, +% attack speed, +% resist, +% poison duration/chance or %Chaos Dot multi). Malev gives +~21% DoT multi without the Watcher Eye jewel. If you stack 5 such Viridian jewels with chaos DoT multi, you also have 5x4% = +20% (chaos) DoT multi beside 5x8% = +40% attack speed and 5x7% = +35% life. Stacking these Viridian jewels will be significantly less expensive than Malev + Watcher Eye.

See the edited PoB: https://pastebin.com/t7PsRxuP
(tick the Tailwind box after you grab a Tailwind boots)

Feel free to cap Fire resist using Dying Sun with the flask cluster.

----
Later on, consider crafting a better roll Elder thicket bow. Your current one has a lot of bad mods rolled on it.

I am a bit confused. The whole topic here the talk is about the SA+BR skills, yet, the POB is linked to TR. Is there any POB for SA+BR, or am I missing something? (sorry, new to the game).

The PoB has both SA+BR and poison TR. On the Skills and Items tabs, select Scourge Arrow instead of Toxic Rain, both of them share the same Tree.

Silly me. Thanks! What upgrades would you recommend? I have just bought the armor, and my budget is exhausted currently. Yet, I would like to know what to focus on during leveling.

Thank you in advance.

You may want to give more pointers on your build for us to give you further advice, e.g. your current gears, your goal, what you're struggling with, etc.

My PoB: https://pastebin.com/51YTZ5T5

What I am struggling with? Well, understading the mechanics. I have played PoE for sometime but never understood it fully (or even partly :P).

I suppose that I should change my quiver. I should look for: chaos damage, +1 arrow (would then be able to change the fire flask for something else, e.g. coralito's, or 40% dmg boost).

I know that I need to get quality on my gems.

I also know that I need to focus on a better helmet.

I will get a better amulet once I have the money (+ the Blight-thing on it).

I suppose that I should now get one of the cluster jewels now.

Currently I am struggling with bosses as the fights are taking too much time (1-3mins). I try to keep 40 stacks of this green thing during my mapping.

I also know that I should use enchance gem and pair it up with something but I am not sure what would that be.

This game overwhelms me but I am having fun anyway. It is just hard for me to prioritise the things.
