(3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder

Saying AS is bad for TR, just stop and go farm your white maps. YIKES

Frgntz if there's 1 thing I would advise you is get rid of that conc effect in your toxic rain, it actually lowers your clear potential. I used swift affliction back in legion when I played toxic rain and even though people argue it lowers the duration, so it's "bad", I feel like duration on tr is already long enough as it is, mobs will keep moving anyway they won't sit in it for ages. On the other hand lowering your aoe from conc effect will lower your clear speed, you'll get less overlaps and mobs will get out of affected area faster.

EDIT: Forgot to add if someone dislikes swift affliction, efficacy is a decent option until you can afford empower. Conc effect imo just ruins the skill, especially if you play without the addtional aoe increases like carcass jack or dying sun.

Tbh I must admit that buying maloney and vertex over bow upgrade did probably set you back currency wise, maloney is such an overpriced item for the last 3 seasons for what it gives I wouldn't buy it ever again, even in legion when it was at 5ex it was already high, and now we have hunter influenced quivers to rival with it which wasn't the case before 3.9.

Never said AS is bad, noob, but obviously 12387123981273 AS when you have no dmg makes no sense, and even less when you're playing fucking toxic rain.
Yellow maps, but yeah, sadly couldn't play 24/7 as you, got plenty things to do in my life instead of PoE, but hey, that definetly makes me know less of a build and unable to give you advice!! In the end i've never played it...

Don't even try, you haven't got to maps yet, you have no word in here (as he said), he doesen't deserve any explanation anymore.

This is actually a smart response, I wanted to sell maloneys anyway, would bring 3ex profit on top.

Area Damage stack with this build or only chaos Damage?

As smart as using conc efect (which didn't even cross my mind that you where using), using a mana pot with shit roll when you have the mana rolls and regen not to use it (thats why you used 3 points in mana reservation tree and mana rolls on rings smartguy), and saying the build is shit and expensive, while using a +1 +1 bow, and then big headin' about playing a league more than others :D I give you 1 week before you reroll and you're back here blasting people out of your stupidity.

Hey any more updates on 3.10? I've been using this build so far this league and it feels really good still. Just curious as to if you think the cluster jewels would be worth while. Thanks.

It should work, for example blast radius notable increases dot dps and that's what we care about.

There are a few that would be good, especially the medium jewels with damage over time (brush with death, flow of life, exposure therapy, circling oblivion, brewed for potency, vile invigoration) just be sure it says "damage over time" on the small nodes without "physical", "fire" or "cold" then it's good to go. Then there are also dedicated chaos damage over time ones with eternal suffering / eldritch inspiration (rest of them is for poison or spells so don't pick those).

The bow notables are nice (tempered arrowheads and broadside) but so far I've seen them always coming together with "12% damage with bows" small nodes which are basically dead points for this build (doesn't affect dot part only initial hit we don't care about), so you'd have to count if it's worth sacrificing extra points for these notables, especially since it's a large jewel they appear on.

Here's list of all of them just find what you like: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2783927

Especially when it comes to small defensive nodes it's a case per case basis, if you can plug something comparable to already existing nodes for less travelling around the tree, it's worth it.

I'm starting to warm up to this build, and been enjoying it!

I still find it quite fragile/squishy, does it make sense to link Cast when Damage Taken with both Steelskin and Immortal Call/Chaos or Stone Golem? Wondering if that will be a significant survivability boost.

Hey, I justed switched over from a TR variant without acro and phase acro. It feels a lot more stable even with a lot less health and ES.

Could somebody help me out on what to upgrade next? I struggle a little to see a worthy upgrade in this range without spending a lot for a minor upgrade. I have 4 ex to spend.
