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

Thank you so much for sharing.

I am coming back from a long break, and I just read that you can't roll the vicious projectile mod on bow anymore.
Will that be a huge dps loss? and what roll should I look for instead of the VP roll if I was to craft a bow myself?

Also, is quill rain a viable leveling weapon? I happened to have a 6L quill rain. might as well make a use out of it if I can.

Hi, Thanks for the great guide. I just started mapping and I am runnin though them.

Just a question, I don't see an updated POB guide. Am I missing it?

Thank you again!

This is my poor man's version of the build. In total this gear cost me 2 exaults and most of that went into the bow. I have no problem doing tier 16 maps with really nasty mods, currently level 92. Killing the conquerors at awaken level 5 is a walk in the park.

The build is viable for all content with budget gear especially with the new cluster jewels.

Thanks for the blueprint op.

Nothing changed on the old tree, the only nodes changed in 3.10 was 1 spell cluster and 1 ignite cluster.

Now if you want to put cluster jewels, you'd have to decide if it's worth it (depends what you have on that jewel too).

Perfect bow is:
prefixes
+1 to socketed gems (usually from exalt slam)
+2 to support gems (craft, catarina veiled)
chaos dot multiplier (craft, veiled)
suffixes
attack speed
damage over time multiplier
multimod

So the perfect base is dot multi + attack speed 2-suffix item

Yes, but you might have mana problems. You can use thief's torment, double praxis or mana flask. At higher levels you'll probably notice the damage penalty quill rain brings and might want to swap it out. Silverbranch / Silverbough are the best levelling uniques, but not mandatory at all.

Hey, love the build, I've been doing a cross between this build, and some other builds I've seen on poe.ninja.

Something cool I did, that maybe you should try or consider, is using unnatural instinct near the Overcharged passive, that lets you pick up the minor ones, as well as saving some points. I'm using maloney's, and with the new cluster jewel system, putting Caustic Arrow in place of frenzy in your quiver, gives you an additional 70-80k DoT.

I haven't calculated my DPS using your tips yet, but if I'm tooltip warrioring it, listed DOT damage on Toxic RAin (no buffs) is 97k with CA's DoT being 77k. Pre incombat buffs!

Hey,
i hard casted the despair curse with COH Frenzy links in my boots. Now that i have a COH despair ring i wanted to ask what i could do with the empty 4-Link in my boots now. Any suggestions on what would work good with this build?

Hi! Want to first say this is a great build, and im having quite a bit of fun with it. Can i know what can be my next upgrade?

I'm using a simple watcher for bleed and 2 dmg/life/atk spd jewel.

Hi all,

Really enjoying the build. However, at this point I'm looking to see what I can do to increase the damage. I feel really tanky, but I'm having trouble doing enough damage to handle bosses in Simulacrum, and A5 Sirus was a bit of a brick wall for me.

I know most people are using a +2 support bow, but creating a +2 support bow in PoB doesn't offer a substantial difference in DPS to my current bow (see below).
So I don't think gear is my problem (though there are upgrades to be had, for sure). Is the problem my tree?

Really I'm just looking for any tips to take my damage to a point where end game bosses feel good. (I do know a lvl 21 Toxic Rain and a Lvl 3 empower would help, but I don't think thats where my bottleneck is).

Guys how do u manage hp? I have life like on everything and still cant reach 3K hp even. Damage is good but feels so squishy. Perhaps its just that i am 74 lvl.

Characters are private, can't check where's your missing life.

Well lvl 21 gem is like going from +2 bow to +3 bow... if you want to improve damage you should invest in it.

You have no chaos multi on gloves / quiver / neck, that's something too. Your gloves have a lot of life though so first thing I'd look into replacing would be quiver.
