(3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder
"Buy a ready made 6-link bow from porcupine or imperial legacy cards these should be ~20c and essence craft it w/ Shrieking Essence of Dread, or if you have ~100c to spare buy a lvl 64+ no influence non corrupted 6-link bow and fossil craft it with corroded + jagged + metalic for a +3 bow. No reason to run on a 5-link whatsoever. Also get rares with better life rolls, they're very low. Last edited by Viktranka on Jul 30, 2020, 7:10:59 AM

How do I exactly fight Al-Hezmin with this build. TR or CA does like ZDPS to him...
|

"Never really had that much problem with him (outside of being too slow dodging the frontal hit), just keep dashing behind him and reapply caustic arrow / replant totems. You won't kill him in 3 seconds but it takes maybe 3 circles around the room to kill him? Conqueror maps have no mods so surviving shouldn't be an issue if you dodge the big attacks. If you use both ca and tr you can pre plant some tr pods while he's in the entry animation. | |

What should I improve? I know plate is iffy, I have a replacement ES/EV plate but need to roll better res on it before switch. I also don't have any clusters yet so I was leaning towards getting my tree updated to doing something with those. I also have another base jewel but it wouldn't link for some reason.

" How is your survivability? You have most of the big damage improvements covered. I would suggest some defense and QoL improvements: 1. Add Flesh and Stone. You have two options for fitting this in. For either option, you will need to upgrade to a level 4 (5 from the helmet) Enlighten. Then you can either get a 15% Maelovence mana reduction enchant on your helm (or 25% reduced on an amulet, but its super expensive), or spend a couple of passive points to hit the reduced mana reservation small node at the top right of the tree. With that option, you will need to also re-craft your rings to max the -9 to mana cost of skills (PM me in-game if you don't have the craft, I'll do it for free). I personally like having a utility enchant on my helm, so I went with option B. I run 4 auras and have 32 mana left, which is sketchy but enough. The "Dash has 100% increased distance" helm enchant is awesome for mapping, timeless monoliths, etc. Also drop Clarity to level 1. 2. Upgrade your Watcher's Eye to one that has both reduced mana cost of skills and bleed immunity while affected by Malevolence. The jewel can be expensive, but it is one of the best QoL improvements you can make. 3. Get a "1% of damage taken gained as mana over 4 seconds" corrupt on one of your gems. It lets you run no-regen maps much easier. If you also get something that gives you "gain x mana for each enemy hit" you can run the maps without a mana flask. 4. Swap out your chest for a hybrid high evasion/es base. You typically will get more ES from having a hybrid then you do from having a pure evasion. Then, craft the "Gain extra energy shield equal to 10% of your life". It's a big EHP boost. 5. Start getting ready for 90 - 100% elemental avoidance. You can add 25% to your gloves. 6. Use an onslaught abyss jewel in your belt. If you really do want to increase your damage (I don't think this build needs much more, unless you are going to farm bosses): 1. Awaken your support gems. Vicious Projectiles gives the most bang for the buck I think, but all of them are good. The only one you can't awaken is Mirage Archer. 2. Re-craft a GG bow. Your bow is nice, but you can get a +3 bow with attack speed, chaos damage DOT multi, and DOT multi. They are not that expensive to make, or you can buy one for ~ 7ex. 3. Buy a level 20/21 Caustic Arrow and 20/21 Arrow Nova support. Manually swap out TR and Mirage Archer when running maps, then swap back in for heavier boss fights. I used to think that the clear speed on TR was enough, but now I prefer running CA most of the time. 4. Start working on perfecting your gear. You have several useless affixes. Things like increased damage with swords. Your rings need some love (which you already acknowledged). I use rings for resists, but you could also get some attack speed on them if you can fit it in. | |
"This build costs 50c to start, not 50c to end... I dare you to find a build that is min maxed at 50c cost, if there was one GGG probably nerfed it ages ago (hello skeleton necro deleting bosses in a tabula). I mean... BL miner can function on a 50c budget too but it's very squishy at that point (though if you're called Path of Matth streamer you can do all content with that and not care). Your current POB is not set for any pod overlap, fyi, so you defo have more damage than 400k also mirage archer is 27% more damage multiplier which is invisible in POB (it doesn't count it). Also buying lvl 21 TR gem for 40c is around 11% more damage you have some good gear in other slots so no reason you wouldn't be able to afford that. And don't fill redundant small passives on 5-pointer medium clusters, it's a waste of passives... With 4 pod overlap and mirage archer correction your dps will be around 2,5 mil (with lvl 21 tr because no reason not to). Oh yea and that's also without withered stacks... Max withered stacks is about 80% more damage but it's a bit unrealistic to assume that. Btw your big clusters are sub optimal, overwhelming malice is useless (it's mostly good for poison assassins and such), touch of cruelty is kinda meh too because you won't always have hinder up. You should aim to roll some big clusters with harvest that have wicked pall and unholy grace (this one you have, but not sure why none of the jewels have wicked pall, it's very good?) Chance to avoid ailments is at 45%, either go all the way to 100% or don't bother and roll anti-freeze flask. You should get gloves with chaos dot multiplier and attack speed not spell damage ones. Pretty sure you can squeeze more of small jewel slots as well, most of your rare jewels don't have increased chaos damage on them and it's not that rare to roll this with harvest. Anyway idc really what quarrel you have with the author, but if you wanna improve your char defo look into cleaning up and improving the cluster setup. Just buy some bases (8 passive large between lvl 50 and 67 filters out most unwanted nodes, you lose chance for explody mod but you already have explody chest so who cares) and chaos seeds in bulk and try your luck. | |

Here you go: https://pastebin.com/0L8thexy
5 mil Sirus dps with gear craftable with harvest (only thing that I expect to be hard to make is the double attack speed viridian jewel) - no empower 4 - no stygian vise - no double dot quiver - unleveled awakened gems - no source of frenzy charges - withered only set to 1 stack not 15 - no flasks up - no vaal haste, bloodrage or other temporary buffs - no quality catalysts - 1 less point than your import - full ailment immunity achieved - open suffixes on clusters for harvest slamming - the bow has 3 open suffixes, it's literally what you get from fossil craft (2 prefixes and empty slot for veiled mod) this costs less than 1ex - quiver has spot for more mods too, like editing for double dot one - craft on belt is rank2 not the one that costs exalt - build lost a bit of ES but didn't wanna set helmet base to hubris so picked random cheapo one, could probably be fixed - medium cluster has brush with death because that can be achieved by rolling defence or life mods, so easier to tweak than rerolling chaos mods and losing wicked pall Plenty of further room for improvement. Stop being defeatist and start harvesting. P.S. Please tell me whose TR guide recommends faster attacks in main link, you aren't the first one to appear with this, and it definitely isn't from this guide so where did you get that from? P.S.2. I got 36 challenges in delirium on a 2 mil dps build, it's definitely not necessary to push very high dps I would actually start looking into survivability more than dps as soon as dps feels comfortable to clear content.

" Of course it is not a 50c build but it's the most budget friendly build ever. It felt like the old spectres build, I'm doing T16 with really shitty gear. I'm struggling with bosses but it's ok, If I spent 1ex I'd be lying | |

Hi everyone,
Very new to the game, played some in the past (years ago) and never really gotten into it. Myself and 2 friends jumped back on recently. This build seems fun and like it suits my playstyle. I just don't understand any of it (yet). Currenlty levelling, clearing everything with ease so far with toxic rain/CA. Got a list of thing to look out for but I'm just wondering if anyone made a loot filter for this build with https://www.filterblade.xyz/? It would be a lot more comprehensible and better for learning if I know what to focus on and I believe a filter could help. | |
"While levelling you should focus on: - getting items with useful links (4 or 5 link with mostly green sockets etc.) - getting life and resist on armor - pick useful flasks - getting a fast attack speed bow (thicket, grove, short bow etc.) - getting a +1 to socketed bow gems (or +2 even better) bow with 4-link or 5-link, I would just pick random bows and reforge with harvest until one of them got the bow gems, then use harvest options to reroll sockets and add links - when you get to maps remember to buy lvl 20 toxic rain gem Btw you can set up custom filter on filterblade and set levelling focus to bow if you want. |
