(3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder
" I ended up 6 linking a thicket bow on my own then crafted this here: Probably spent 2ex worth of currency 6linking and alt/regals to get there. Pretty happy with it so far. Now I just need to level up my chaos dot recipe and get my metacrafting mods from prophecies. I do have to get crafting services for the +2 support gems though, I'm not planning on running caterina this league. |

"You can buy items with "catarina's veiled" property off trade, when I did my bow it cost me 8-10c per item and it took me 3-4 items to unlock it. Very cheap if you don't wanna risk crafting service (unless you know trustworthy one). Last edited by Viktranka on Apr 22, 2020, 1:05:55 AM

I've been doing fine with this build but man, I just can't kill sirus 8.
Anything I can improve to help me beat him? |

" There are a number of smaller items I'd upgrade in your build, but nothing major that will change the fight experience for you. Ultimately Sirus is unlike other bosses in that he's extremely mechanically challenging to fight, and some of his moves synergize in such a way they feel kind of... silly. This is all compounded by the fact you can only fight him once every 30 maps or so, so you can't really feel him out the same way you can Shaper, Elder, and Uber Elder. I have 0 issue with Uber Elder, can deathless A8 him consistently, but Sirus still proves very annoying for me. My only advice is to watch videos for his fight and really learn the mechanics of his third phase. The graphical queues of him teleporting in the third phase are easy to miss and most players miss them during the chaos, which proves fatal. | |
" I did all my sirus deathless until I got the awakening level 8. I really don't know what changed, I don't know if the has more HP, if he switch phases faster and more constant... Feels like he's never on my screen, always teleporting and one shoting me. I can get to the third phase without any problem after that it's just downhill... Which itens would you change? I have no idea how to check my dps, the tool tip says almost 130k dot dmg but the PoB say something around 76k. I don't know if I lack dmg to burst him down or not or if I'm lacking mechanicaly at the performance of the fight/phases. Last edited by kazeshinii on Apr 22, 2020, 2:52:23 AM

Can anyone suggest what i should focus on next?
Also some questions, the toxic rain damage enchant for helm does that work for the dot, is it good? the qotf corrupt with increased damage worth going for? (socket configuration seems expensive/hard to achieve) And in terms of dps is damage over time same as chaos damage over time and same in regards for the multi, or one of them is better? |
|
"These stats are interchangeable and stack together in a way as if it was the same stat (increased with increased, multi with multi). The only benefit from having stats with different names is you can stack both on them on an item like bow, quiver or rare jewels. Now for head enchant / corruption, it's just another "40% increased damage", is it an upgrade, yes, is it worth super high price? That you need to decide whether you want to invest into the spec further or not. And you'd do it after you exhausted other easy sources of "increased" damage. | |
I have no idea how to sim DPS and I just corrupted a semi good bow with Onslaught. Can any of you sim these two for me?

Hey! I've been loving this build. I respecced my Trickster from ED/Contagion to this. I'm still not sure what I should do with my glove's gem sockets. Any suggestions?

" Update: Killed sirus 8 now deathless, all i did was switch toxic rain and mirage archer for caustic arrow and conc effect. I think just shooting one caustic arrow and focusing on survive moving around is way better than stop moving and trying to shoot 4~5 toxic rain on sirus and risking a getting beamed in the face. |
