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

Hi. First time playing tr. Im using a quill rain 5l rn. A 6l imperial bow with essence craft is a lot better or I just stick with quill till I farm currency to buy/craft a +3 chaos multi bow? In other words how much better is a "trash" 6l 2lvl bow in comparisson with a quill rain 5l?

Ty in advance.

My deadeye feels like a better damage curve overall currently, squish tho.

That was kinda expected of Deadeye, there's a clip from Karvarousku how he got slammed for ~7-8k by Sirus influenced mob so stuff hurts (he barely survived because it's a detonate dead Necro with 5k hp 2k ES and 2k mana MOM), there's also another clip of a guy getting 1-shot on earthshatter champion perma fortify 3 endurance charges 7k hp. Stuff isn't kidding around this league I see.

Trickster is really hard to get high amount of life without dropping damage, I reckon the only way to build good hp pool is hybrid with life+ES? And if it's true what people say that some of the Sirus influence abilities are chaos damage that might hurt, outside of Vertex I don't remember the build getting a lot of chaos res.

But to be honest a lot of softcore builds nowadays don't get enough life because investing in cluster jewels is so good there just isn't enough points.

P.S. Just watched Zizaran's vid and he said over a dozen SSFHC racers already ripped to Sirus influenced mobs. So I don't think this is a build problem.

Toxic Rain got HUUUGGGEEE DPS buffs in the new MTX. It looks pretty sweet.

EDIT: yeah ok I'm thinkin ranger is kinda trash unless the sirus mobs get nerfed. Might reroll to trickster or something later

Update: apparently Bex said they'll tone down these Sirus mobs.

I'm just here waiting until a week passes to see what people tested and which asc is better now D:

Just play trickster; I don't know why I even considered these other ascendancies viable. Until they literally delete trickster, no amount of nerfs is going to bring it in-line with ranger ascendancies.

At 73 I seem to suddenly get a one-shot since I got to T1/T2 maps.

Just randomly out of the blue end up being dead.

I've got crap for gear, but do have 75% in all resists (-44 chaos) 2681 life and 369 energy shield right now.

I'm using a tabula rasa as my only 6L at the moment and waiting on currency to be able to craft or buy a bow.

What might be causing it do you think?

Characters are private, so hard to say.
First, do you have good life rolls on all your items (tabula and weapon excused)?
Second, did you roll proper flasks? Are you using them?
Third, did you do at least your 3rd lab?

Thanks for your quick response. How do I make my characters public?
This one is TrickeryDickeryDock

No, I don't have great gear since I keep spending what currency I'm making for minor upgrades. I have not done my third lab yet. Will try and do that without dying.

Profile -> edit privacy settings -> hide characters tab (needs to be off) / set profile as private (also needs to be off). Just untick them and save settings.

Thank you. It is not set to private now.

Also since my last post, I finished a merciless lab.

I also crafted some flasks. Not good yet. I don't have enough alterations to keep spamming them to get the exact right properties.

And you were right. Flasks made the difference. No deaths now.
