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

What do you guys do about getting hit with ignites? I just swapped in a dying sun for my life flask and of course got hit with a massive ignite and died the first map.

Just wondering if anyone could give me some tips on what to prioritize next for gearing. If I were to multimod my bow would it be worth it? What other mod should I add? Currently biggest issue is damage is starting to feel a bit light in higher tier maps

I would prio getting lvl 21 toxic rain either by corrupting gems or just buying one, also look into getting empower at some point.

Another upgrade would be getting amulet with chaos multi or +1 to dex / chaos gems.

Which is better, damage over time or damage from chaos over time?

On the other hand, what do you think of Frenzy + curse on hit + culling strike + despair?

If you can see my profile and advise me if you see any serious error it would be a help

Thank you!

I have achieved this, what would be the next step now?

Is %Increased Poison Dmg on bows worthless?

What type of bow should I be able to get for 6ex budget? Should have +3 and dmg over time multi as well as attack speed?

Also I'm assuming it'd be better to craft it than purchase. Anyone have a step by step guide for how they crafted theirs? Since I've seen differing opinions on how to achieve this and am confused.

Chaos damage over time and damage over time do the same thing for this build. Just pick whichever has higher value when you compare items.

Yes.

Sorry, but has there been a new POB released? Or is it mostly the same as 3.9?

I've read a lot here (and other places) about the 'ideal' Toxic Rain bow - +2 Bow Gems, Attack Speed, Chaos Damage etc.

What I don't understand is that no-one seems to care about Bow base damage - but the initial hit, DoT and explosion all scale from that surely???

I realize the figures I see in PoB probably aren't correct (given it doesn't seem to fully calc. the mechanics of Toxic Rain??) but I see people with clearly pricey crafted bows with silly-low damage figures (the Plague Arch a few posts above is just 26-79 base damage!?)

I'm missing something - can someone explain plz? Thx
