got that stuff now... damage in maps is very nice but the bosses are really hard and slow... i use caustic arrow in maps and toxic rain for bosses with the same stuff and setup.
Any tips for getting better for bosses like in T16 or shaper...?

Caustic Arrow is not really good for virulence stacking, how many stacks do you usually have on average?

Also increased duration is not really that good, as it has no damage component. I would suggest:
- damage on full life (assuming you are on full life majority of the time)
- mirage archer (helps clear and with toxic rain mirage attacks stack with yours)
- efficacy (spell damage part won't work but the damage over time will and it's always on in case you don't like the other 2 options)

Tbh caustic arrow has very little synergy with poison, because only initial arrow can apply it not the puddle on the ground. If you like caustic arrow I think this is the best guide around for it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2077932

Playing herald of agony / poison requires skills that scale well with attack speed, the more you hit the more poisons you stack. Otherwise you're wasting half your kit.

Also are you using the totem on bosses?

Last season I killed uber elder with toxic rain build without even having empower 4, so I don't think the skill is too weak by itself.

You have no anoitment either. For a poison based build I'd suggest Dirty Techniques.

My virulence stacks cap on mapping at 40 ofc. For Boss it goes down very fast...
Dunno what im doing wrong...
Changed inc. duration vs efficacy but dont see any change yet :/
Chimera is really hard as he moves and teleports very fast... 2 Hits and im done...

How good do you think darkscorn would be for this build? I'm pretty satisfied with my current setup but was curious if darkscorn could be a worthwhile investment.

I get this question once in a while and TBH has no clear answer to this as these poison stacks are kind of in a grey area and hard to estimate

I don't know how to link my gear, but here is my question, I vaaled a pair of embalmers to have level 10 dispair on hit. so what do I do from here? I dropped the flask for lvl 21 despair atm for a simpler stibnite flask with 12% atk speed on it. Should I save for a dying sun, or focus on trying to be able to enable Malevolence? I still only use HOA due to having no way to take away the reserve. I just don't know what the next way is to upgrade myself. Getting expensive flask or getting expensive enchant/ammy to be able to use malevolence?
