3.5 Changes:
Spoiler
We got a bunch of new Multiplier Options, so thats good! Quill rain after nerf is still great for league starts, but not that great for endgame!
So try to craft a rare bow. Highly recommend Nugis video for it: How to craft +3 Vicious Proj Bow  First of all i would like to mention that i want to avoid text of walls in this guide, so let's start. English isn't my native language. Video Guide: [Video Guide] Caustic Arrow / Toxic Rain Build Guide feel free to ask questions and leave Feedback for improvements!!!  The Guide also includes gameplay footage: [Video Guide] Caustic Arrow / Toxic Rain Build Guide more vids soon. Twitch Shaarq --> if u wanna see some live action.  Current gear: Gear in general:

Quill Rain is the obvious choice. You can also try out +3 bows or lioneyes but i think quill rain is the way to go for our kind of approach. Nothing else is really necessary here… I use Kintsugi… as far as i know, the less damage taken modifier mitigates also darkness damage form delve, so thats pretty insane! Bisco’s Leash is alway great for additional MF and Rampage, which is great for maps and also delves! Duration Implicit is really good for our build! I got pretty lucky on my Ventor from Divination Cards… hehe I crafted this shaper Quiver myself with alt regal method. Keep in mind that the Quiver has to be ilvl80 for +1 arrow On gloves try to get one pair with despair on hit, but it isn’t necessary at all... On rest of your stuff try to get life, resistances, intelligence and movement speed on boots.  6 link Caustic Arrow - Decay - Vicious Proj - Swift Affliciton - Damage on full Life - Mirage Archer Toxic Rain - Vicious Proj - Efficacy - Void Man - Swift Affliction - Damage on full Life 4 Link Wither - Faster Casting - Increased Duration - Spell Totem 3 Link CwdT - Immortal Call - Increased Duration 2 Link Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks single Clarity, Grace  For leveling i used Toxic Rain with Mirage Archer. Also Caustic Arrow is a great leveling skill now, so choose what ever you want! Grab Quill rain on level 9, which is your endgame weapon by the way, and go HAM! Ascendancy I am not the greatest fan from current Queen of the forest matter, so i looked for alternatives which are almost equally fast. So my Ascendancy Class of choice for this build is Raider. Rapid Assault is really nice for leveling, and also map clear. Great pick for Normal Lab! Avatar of chase gives you pretty good offenses and defenses Way of the poacher fixes your Frenzy charge generation, say bye bye to the annoying regen from blood rage! And last but not least Avatar of Slaughter which transitions you into speedy gonzalez Order is Rapid Assault - Avatar of Chase - Way of the Poacher and Avatar of Slaughter. All in all i think raider is a great choice especially with the new introduced troxic rain, which has pretty interesting stacking mechanics. tree 93  Bandits: kill ALL Last edited by Shaarq#6619 on Dec 18, 2018, 9:19:09 AM Last bumped on Jan 24, 2019, 10:25:42 PM

Good guide and helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

How far have you taken the character into maps/ endgame bosses? Since you state it to be endgame viable. That being said, guide's pretty interesting & I might try it out in the near future.

" so far i killed red elder and doing t13. but it isn't a pure bosskiller, it's more of an allrounder. |
|
" HH on bow builds is always pretty neat. im not sure about farruls, aspect of the cat and crit doesn't do that much for this kind of build imo. |

Hi, i've started in delve with ur build. Which jewels do you recommend to use?
TY |

Can you post a Path of Building link? After seeing your vid, I might have to get me the MTX for Caustic Arrow.

" i don't like pob that much, just import my character into it and play around yourself. Last edited by Shaarq#6619 on Sep 11, 2018, 5:43:53 AM
