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

"
Lol why do I feel personally attacked by this point... I should really consider recolouring my Queen of the Forest
Tbh I agree with the author of the guide that golems die a lot so you can even completely skip them and it won't make much difference. If you have an overabundance of spare green sockets things I would consider:
- vaal haste
- vaal grace
- bloodrage for mapping if you don't use maloney (which personally I wouldn't after 3.9), since self casting frenzy while mapping not bossing is a loss of time, however I personally dislike the degen it puts, so it's debatable
- phase run as an extra movement speed boost between other skills, if you use cooldown based movement speed abilities (dash, blink arrow, withering step), I'm also trying now dash linked with second wind (that's a green socket too) and it works pretty well

As a last resort spare green socket can be used to level extra gem for corrutping in the future, or for portal.

"
so I was able to make hella progress in one week due to somehow getting 8 exalt drops among other valuables. Basically have everything that the guide suggests except for a GG bow. My only problem is randomly getting one shot. Would more life on everything really make much of a difference or is it just something I gotta deal with especially for this league =_=
Lvl 21 toxic rain is 30c atm, it pains me to see people with expensive gear not using that cheap upgrade.

But yes, evasion characters do get randomly 1-shot from time to time, you have 6.4k life + es combined so that's not exactly low, the only thing is you can do is play it safe from distance, strafe when you engage packs so projectiles miss you, up the damage to kill things faster, pay attention to your flask uptime etc.

Anyway how do you deal with freeze when you have no flask for it? You could put it on life flask I guess, you no longer need bleed removal if you have watcher's eye that takes care of it.

I find the uptime to be near 24/7 with a lvl 20 golem linked to CWDT but it definitely acts as a filler to just use up the slot and gain a small benefit. There's almost too much flexibility in gem slots in this build (which is a good thing), and yeah it might even be better to just use the empty slots for lvling up gems and reselling...


Vaal Grace is a great suggestion and I think it's exactly what I need to help me out in boss fights. Thanks again!

It was a bit sad to say goodbye to my 2x white sockets, but it had to be done XD

Oh I see, I didn't really realize that 21/0 was better than 20/20. I was using a basalt flask of heat before I got the Dying Sun, so yea I should change the life flask. So I guess my next big upgrade should be Empower 4?

You're losing a lot of stats from not using rare gloves and crit isn't useful to this build, so not sure what's the point.

You could use shaper influenced gloves with "gems are supported with faster casting", but I think the hunter mod for chaos dot is too good to pass and dabbling in double influence too expensive to consider for a small gain.

20% quality gives 10% area of effect, pretty sure you could get that from another source if you really needed to (I reckon there's a veiled mod for that), but getting an extra gem level is something you can't easily add. Yes, 21 tr + empower 4 + bow with +3 increase to levels is probably the most you can get in a league, you can also get another +1 from an amulet. Don't know if upgrading an amulet or empower is cheaper in the current economy.
What would be my biggest upgrades you think? I only have a couple ex and am pretty much done with the league at this point. (Usually only play first few weeks and get most of my atlas done up to killing Shaper and his guardians.)


Build felt pretty good, I switch in a lvl 21 CA for map clearing and use TR for bossing. Only issue I have is randomly getting one shot a bunch in t16 corrupted maps and such. Also ignite/poisons shred this build if you don't have a way to account for them. I plan to unlock the pantheon for when I do the poison conqueror dude again.

Can someone explain to me why empower is better than Damage on Full Life? in my POB, DOFL always give more DoT DPS, empower level 3 AND 4.
Hi all, can i know what can be my next upgrade? my items are as below...
i'm kind of at a lost on what to upgrade next..

You won't always be at full health since the build can't scale leech.

Empower is always on.
