More arrows from a leveled Rain of Arrows isn't worth it ?

We just use it to spread curses and poison, more than lv3 and you will increase mana costs.

What order would you recommend putting your ascendancy points in first? Can't find it anywhere in the guide, and the PoB has all points allocated for every tree level.

Wicked ward, vile bastion, profane bloom, malediction.

By the way you can craft that Damage Gained as Mana mod on rare jewelry.

Are there any other alternate bows you can use? Six link Quill Rains are super hard to find...

Any sort of 5L/6L bow with a fast attack time is ~good enough~ to work, but Quill Rain is really your goal just for maintaining super easy max virulence stacks. Right now I'm using some garbage 5L short bow with a good +attack speed roll on it to get like 1.8 attacks per second. Not nearly as good as a Quill Rain, but it only cost me 1C even with a bunch of super jank off-colors.

Using this build in Betrayal, currently lvl 63, it feels pretty decent. PoB contains Desecrate and Spirit Offering, Desecrate in CWDT setup, while guilde suggests phase run (and I personally like phase run more) so that is a bit confusing. So I use phase run and dread banner instead (dread banner is pretty nice). I used Profane Bloom as second ascendancy because the clear speed, was, well horrible without it, but after it got a lot better. I am still very squishy because gear with enough ES and proper links is very hard to get atm (e.g I just have tabula as body, and 6 socket 5 link quill, had to do the links myself).

Now that you mention it, do we get banner stages on minion kill? War banner was increasing damage taken for mobs no?

Yeah, well, with Dread Banner by impaling enemies from its effect, max is 50 stacks and you get get them really quick with the Rain and HoA. I usually save placing the banner for bosses, but then it is really strong (fortify effect from 50 stacks is <3).

Oh also I wanted to ask, what do you think about [[The Coming Calamity Destroyer Regalia]] ? It feels like it will be really strong (boosting HoA and Minion Damage) and I got max roll from syndicate :d

Unfortunately, I don't think it's such a good idea :/ It would increase the damage, granted, but the ES is so low that it's not worth it in my opinion. But if you want to sacrifice some survivability for some damage, feel free to try it out, maybe you will like it :)
